Glamour, elegance, and class—all words that barely scratch the surface of this gem. From its meticulous craftsmanship to its luxurious presentation, Vocalise feels like a true treasure.
This creation comes from the house of Maître Parfumeur et Gantier. Quite the name, right? It carries the weight of history, as this house was founded by Jean-François Laporte back in 1988, bringing daring blends to a more traditional perfumery scene. With Vocalise as our introduction, we can confidently say their reputation for quality is well-earned.
Vocalise is uplifting, bright, and fruity—perfect for the blossoming days of spring. Picture yourself outdoors, not in hiking gear, but dressed to impress, sipping a fresh juice or coffee, while this fragrance adds a layer of refined joy to your look.
At first spray, you’re greeted with a fresh burst of black currant, followed by sweet red berries. The natural, juicy opening is as vibrant as it is authentic. A heads-up: smelling it straight from the nozzle might mislead you—it can feel like a vintage floral. But once it’s on your skin, you’ll see its magic as it dances between classic and contemporary, making it beautifully versatile for a feminine audience.
“If you get the chance, try Vocalise—it’s a standout for spring and autumn. As for us, we’re already eager to explore more from Maître Parfumeur et Gantier, a house as refined as its name suggests”
The heart of Vocalise is where the sweetness and florals take center stage. The berries linger but soften, blending into a creamy vanilla vibe, likely thanks to the ylang ylang. A powdery, slightly makeup-like note emerges, adding elegance, though this aspect can vary by wearer. On Le Wife’s skin, it was sparkly and bright, while on mine, it leaned toward soft makeup powder.
After around seven hours, what’s left is a smooth, sensual mix of vanilla and sandalwood. It’s tender and gentle—a veil of sophistication perfect for ending your day on a seductive note.
We can’t wrap this up without talking about the stunning presentation. The bottle is weighty, with golden details showcasing the brand’s crest and the fragrance name. The cap is pure artistry, engraved in gold and topped with a diamond-like Swarovski stone. Everything comes housed in a luxurious red coffret with golden inscriptions, making it a centerpiece for any collection.
