La Dandy D`Orsay for women

2010 Reformulation:

I've to agree with other reviewers that Le Dandy 2010 reminds of many designer fragrances from the last couple of decades and in this context I find it to be seriously disappointing. An unappealing and quite generic mix of fruits, wood and spices on a ambery / vanilla base. Overall this is not a completely bad scent but nothing I would really recommend.

I'll wait for my chance to smell the vintage version.

Rating: 5.5/10

What a strange and interesting scent!
It's really full of twist and wit!
It starts fresh and slightly flowery, but it soon becomes one of the most complex, elegant and modern gourmand. I'm not fond of gourmand fragrances, but this one made an exception.
It's something I could easily sport around on my whimsical mood days :-)


Edit: I still like it and found very elegant with wit, but I think that the previous version Femme de Dandy (discontinued) was more interesting and more plummy.

At first I thought this was a floral perfume. But after the alcohol blew off, I realized, no, it's a FOODY perfume! Top notes of cinnamon. And an hour later, still lots of cinnamon. If perfumes were people, I'd say D'Orsay's Femme de Dandy is a shy cousin of Cinnabar. I quite like it! But it made husband cough.
