Another fine, floral perfume by Carla Fracci is dedicated to ballet heroine Giselle. It was created in 2004.
Initially I found this to be very sweet and strikingly strong. Nevertheless within moments it settled into a smooth and very distinct yet warm caramel scent with superb sillage.
Sweet (and for me it is far too much) ylang-ylang and honey at the opening. I was hoping for a cinnamon and caramel notes to show up somewhere in the middle, but it didn't happen. It may be called nice, but this fragrance is not for me.
I just received this perfume today and although I found it to be a nice, sweet fragrance, it's just not me.
As I was told, Giselle now is a different fragrance than Giselle from few years ago. It must be, because what I smelled had nothing to do with Organza or any other sweet, oriental fragrance. Unfortunately ;]
New Giselle is a fruity-floral, very fresh and quite watery. It's moderately sweet, crisp and in style of J'Adore [Dior] or Ananda [Micallef]. I'm not amused, although I must say it's not totally bad either. Nice, summer fragance, without artificial fruity notes. And yes, it's boring too.
I really can't understand WHY they totally changed the smell and decided to keep the same name. It makes no sense at all.
EDP:
Not as lovely as pure parfum, no getting around it-but has more sillage, and has the same soul! My boyfriend and my younger brother both asked me "Which perfume are you wearing now?"-and followed with approval.
Instant classic-I like it just as much as sultrier Must and Coco, but it's never too heavy or sweet-perhaps I like you more, Giselle!
Giselle by Carla Fracci:
You have everything I love about Organza, with more smoothness and softness (as well as desirable reserve)--in parfum!
I was worried that this would be too sweet, as I find Organza to be these days-and Giselle is sweet-but I don't know what keeps this perfectly sweet and copper-colored velvet rather than just another sweet but pleasant Big White Floriental-it's classifed as Floral here, I don't think that's correct...Either way, it has a lightness about it, and doesn't smell too caramelly at all-this note can kill a possibly beautiful fragrance. I think I found the most beautiful--eh, maybe the only celebrity fragrance I want to wear! As refined as the lovely dancer Carla Fracci-with a plush sexiness breezing through! I want to try the EDP, as I like a little bit more sillage-this stays fairly close to the skin-but the lasting power is great, as a parfum should have. I hope to be able to review the EDP soon-if it retains most of what I love about the parfum, Giselle would be worthy of regular wear-maybe another signature even!
Nice, sweet floral - caramel scent. Reminds me Kenzo le Tigre, but this one is not so deep and heavy.
Must to try who love simple sweet floral scent.
