Despite such a strong association with my grandmother, I wouldn't describe the perfume as smelling like "old lady." I think it's a very classic scent, flowery and romantic and very French (in the best sort of way)... and yes, with a hint of high-quality face powder. An old gold and enamel compact that I have, which has probably been empty since the 1930s has a similar powdery smell to it.

This fragrance is so beautiful it is almost indescribable. It is light and airy, yet very longlasting and tenacious. Powdery, and most definitely nostalgic. Floral yet not sickningly sweet, and very very grown up. It is a classic. Timeless and elegant, quiet and meditative.
I love this on a crisp winter day but then I would wear it anytime. A little goes a looong way. The sandalwood note really blooms on me but is tempered by the exquisite fruits and florals.
It smells like I would imagine heaven to smell, like the breath of an angel.
Heavenly.

German trains -slick, modern, metallic
Swiss trains - clean, wholesome, clean
Italian trains - rattletrap, uncomfortable, musty
French trains - luxurious, fragrant, velvety
I would pray for the French trains every time. They smelled of glorious French perfume. It was my childhood notion of sophisticated adulthood.
The smell of those trains was: Strong coffee, Gauloises cigarettes, and L'Heure Bleue.









But be warned, it quietly builds and builds until no-one in the room can smell anything else, and this effect lasts for hours, at least with the actual parfum, although the EDT may not be quite so extreme.
This might or might not be a good thing, depending on the context - I don't shy away from announcing myself in an olfactory way, but I would be very wary about wearing it to work

It takes a lot of courage to be old-fashioned.




It always makes me feel special - and men love this one.
