Borsalino Pour Elle Borsalino for women

Borsalino Pour Elle is a really nice, soft, classy perfume. I got a bottle of it in a swap and I'm very happy with it.

I was concerned about the carrot seed in Borsalino, which is an unusual note in a perfume and I thought it might smell a bit strange! Also, reading that it was 'not for the faint hearted' made it seem to me as if it would be overpowering and strong but it isn't at all, thank god. In fact, Borsalino is exactly as described in the perfume description on here - clean, moist and softly powdery, and the carrot isn't evident at all! There's a little soft spiciness underlying, which I think may be the ambrette (who knows?!) which adds an interesting little twist to prevent it from smelling too commonplace a perfume, as nice as it is. I can't compare this perfume to any other perfume I've smelled, which I like! I have a feeling it's the kind of scent that a lot of men might find appealing on a woman because it smells so soft, feminine and a little bit intimate too! This gets a very big thumbs up from me.

There are many flowery fragrances out there like this one. It doesn't "hurt" anyone and it's just one more in the range that simply smells like a mix of flowers. Many will like it but it is nothing "special" I think. The staying power is not so good on me. For me it's not my kind of scent either.

This is an unusual fragrance, not for the faint hearted I have to say.
It goes with style.
Luckily I can't smell the jasmine note and yes I also can detect black tea.
Kinda reminds me of Versace Woman.
