Très French by Teo Cabanel
Floral Woody Musk
Marie Schnirer
According to the name, Tres French is a traditional French perfumery. It is indeed a classic scent; however, it reminds me more of a traditional English countryside rather than a very French composition. It is a sharp green floral scent, right in your face. Cuts through the heat. You cannot miss it in the air. Lily-of-the-valley is the main note.
I see a similarity with Miu Miu OG or Jasmin Kusamono by Armani Prive. Jasmin by Armani is of course a jasmin-dominant perfume; nonetheless, they both have this piercing cold quality about them. It is sort of if you like that you would like this. I have Miu Miu in my collection, I sold Kusamono, and quite frankly I prefer my Miu Miu to this Teo Cabanel.
Tres French smells like a fresh bouquet of lilacs although there is no lilac listed. I like lilacs, it represents a great scent memory from my childhood; nevertheless, because lilac is so piercing and undeniably floral, we need to have something to balance it off with. White musk, solar notes or pear do not seem strong enough to do it justice.
With that being said, do not be discouraged by my ramblings. If you like green florals, grab a sample, give it a go. It might be the one for you if you are a fan of this scent category.
