Linda Allard Ellen Tracy for women

I did try Kenzo Flower but I find it very harsh with the "plastic" note. I must admit, yes it's the only one so far that is similar to it.

This is a deadringer to Kenzo's Flower
with the sweet powdery note of rose unlike
kenzo it's more of a softer and sweeter
undertones of Peach and Cinnamon kenzo is
more of a drier and ozonic feel.
The opening of spicy note of carnation with of the velvety texture of rose dries
down to fiery sandalwood and sweet cinnamon dries the top note.

The powdery feel disappears as sweet nutty accord of Tonka Bean opens the middle notes as the hint of soft peach
makes it's presence known and also adds
to the softness of the scent. Jasmine
with it's faint & elusive scent blooms.

Freesia is an understated note in this
perfume with it's quiet and suble sweetness ends this scent with an quiet
grace. Linda Allard i tried to like this
but what turned me off is the harsh
powdery opening prevents me to love this
scent.

In my experience, carnations and violets have very different smells. I detect no carnation and lots of violets, in addition to vanilla, but no cinnamon, in Ellen Tracy LINDA ALLARD. This leads me to conclude that the notes listed above are erroneous.

In any case, LINDA ALLARD is a smooth woody floral with lots of sandalwood and a big vibrant but also somehow juicy floral opening. This is unexpectedly nice. I think that my expectations were extraordinarily low because I receive a sample of this special edition edp, along with a sample of Jessica Simpson TASTE DELICIOUS (a Demeter-like facsimile of Betty Crocker canned white frosting) and also of Boss WOMAN, each time that I shop at a certain unnamed emporium online which claims to change their free sample offerings weekly (ha--perhaps they mean annually?).

Anyway, LINDA ALLARD is an enjoyable wear through most of its life, though the sandalwood begins to turn near the end, so I won't be adding a bottle to my collection. Actually, I don't need to: should I wish to wear this fragrance again, I have samples in ample supply!

Fellow member gave me a sample (thank you!).

On me? At first apray it was very "boozy", then quickly evaporated into the sweet vanilla-like scent of the tonka bean, then it settled into a powdery floral, still carrying sweet notes. Not particularly long-lasting on me.

One thing's for sure: both my daughter and my husband liked it on me!

I like this one a fair amount. But that's to be expected since I love powdery perfumes. I don't find this one overly heavy though. I tend to prefer the opening verses the drydown because the cedar comes a bit forward and I am kinda iffy on that. Makes the dry down a bit tart and gives off a slight celery seed scent. But even so, I'd definately wear it if gifted but I don't think it's original enough to justify purchasing as it becomes harder and harder to find. Ok lasting power.

Very unoffensive, sophisticated, grown-up, expensive-smelling. Good daytime fragrance for women in their 40's. The carnation and peach keep coming out on my skin. I can actually pick out the notes fairly well. A nice one to have around.

On me, it's like baby powder with sandalwood in it, which comes off kind of soapy, in a warm way. I don't particularly care for what it's doing on my skin, but then again I am trying it during winter. I will try this in warmer weather to see if there is a miraculous change...

Very nice sweet woodsy scent! I like this one very much.

very warm and sophisticated baby powdery smell.
Too bad its a limited edition
But it does fade rather fast. In 2 hours, it got so weak you could hardly smell it. And the sillage is not great ether, but better than the lasting power.

I think that the notes are not correct also.It smells to me very violetly.I smell lots of warm viollets!I want it very much !I looooove it

Call me crazy, but I thought the notes for the Linda Allard version are not the same as what's above. Anyway, I love this limited edition. Does anyone know of a perfume that smells exactly like this one? I'm asking because it's a limited edition and won't be available much longer.
