I got a random sample of this...tried it on before bed. I'm laying here, sniff sniff sniff on my arm. I can't sleep because I have to know...where have I smelled this before? It is so unique. Sweet, but also deep and rich. I'm racking my brain trying to remember if I've ever known someone who had a bottle of Variations.
Then it hit me...I'm pretty darn sure this is the same scent as my Electric Youth perfume from back in the 80s!!! I haven't smelled EY in years so I don't know for sure. But scents can open up memories you didn't even know you had.
I used to have this! and I have no idea where I came across it or how I eneded up with it, but all I know is it was gorgeous, it was very sensual, and made me feel like a woman, as I was quite a young lady when I first started wearing it. I have been trying to get my hands on it. I remeber the tea note well, I think it resembles flowerbomb a bit to be honest, but like a warmer and deeper version of flowerbomb, it is sweet and a bit tart. I long for this perfume and would like to get my hands on another bottle.
If it's the same formulation as the one released in 1971, then it's a stunner. Otherwise ?????
It is not really an oriental for me, but a light fruity floral in a nice not very sweet way.
Fruity floral for the over 30 generation.
worth a try
The labdanum is not detectable unfortunatelly.
Lasting power everage, sillage everage, overall everage for a day to day use.
You are not going to find a thing to anchor this frangrance in the note?!
Better than Fleurs d`Orlane,
but very similar.
Nobody tried this yet here? It is a very modern Carven! Most of their perfumes are classics! I like it actually!
This one is quite modern for the Carven house! It is a sensual perfume.
