I love this perfume when I owned it back in the 90's. If anyone knows where I can get it, please let me know. (other than ebay)
I still have an old bottle from an exchange with my aunt.
I don't love it but I don't hate it too, I never put it on now. It's an elegant, french perfume.
It's a rather strong perfume. Citrus prevails in my opinion and it's too much present, giving a 'sour' impression.
Perfume lasts long.
Few perfumes get my approval at the first spritz, but this lovely mix of spiciness with the roundness of the vanilla coming through from start makes me sink back in absolute comfort. I generally don't like citrusy perfumes, but on me, the bergamot and jasmine are the strongest of the top and middle notes. The lemon is in there but only to influence the other scents. As the perfume rests and lands, the sweet basenotes of vanilla, tonka bean, musk and sandalwood become oh so clear. I was lucky to find it at a second hand store for a cheap penny. Lucky thing some shopkeepers just don't know what's good...
I had a bottle of this when it was first released and I loved it. Too bad it's gone now. I found it warm and soft, very romantic, but certainly not heavy; you could definitely wear it in summer.
It is sad that this is not available in the stores anymore. I had a 30 ml bottle in the 90's. It was an exciting fragrance. Luxurious, no ordinary celeb frag.
