Divin’Enfant EDP 100ml

A child can either charm or annoy us with the same ruthlessness. A child can be irresistible with their angel-sweet smile but they also know how to drive us crazy. Under the angel, the faked innocence of a demon.

After the gentle top notes of orange blossom and marshmallow breaks the unexpected accord of coffee, leather and cold tobacco, a shrilling symbol of our sleepless nights. True to their reputation of “polymorphic pervert”, this mini-sized tyrant is only happy when they succeed in imposing their whims, which they always manage to do.

HOW IT WEARS
Divin’Enfant is a fragrance with a really interesting wear – it begins with an almost pure orange blossom note – softly sweet but also a little tangy. This is accented perfectly by juicy peach and warm, powdery florals. Once it’s been on the skin for a while, the marshmallow-y vanilla comes out, creamy. Even though they’re not in the notes list, once you’re at the base of Divin’Enfant you pick up the subtle earthiness of coffee and even a little leather, which here behaves a bit more like suede – very soft. 

LORE LOVES 
Like all of ELdO’s fragrances, Divin’Enfant is a scent true to concept. Starting with orange blossom and powdery florals, it’s a little reminiscent of baby powder, so the opening notes are literally and figuratively the infancy of the fragrance. As it develops it begins to mature, taking interest in sweetness from peach, vanilla and marshmallow. Then the base notes are its adulthood with tobacco and leather. A very clever concept and execution, we think! This is also another fabulous example of ELdO’s neo-gourmand series – it has gourmand elements, but is balanced by the other notes, making it wearable even for those who don’t usually gravitate towards sweet scents.
