E (for women)

Carla

"E" is Excellence! I'm ecstatic that I own this this fragrance once again! It's even lovelier the second time around. The opening with it's enticing essence of citrus notes announces the best is yet to come.The subtle whisper of lily of the valley employs an iota of sweetness that pleasantly lingers throughout. Enter the heart and enjoy an array of flowers with the definite presence of the earthy and exotic hyacinth next to the quietness of the iris. The jasmine is evenly apparent and continues on into the warm, mysterious and magical ending in the base. The life of this fragrance wears well on my skin is always pleasant and never sours. This fragrance is as engaging as her younger "sister" Jelisaveta, which is a rare find in the U.S. and in which I hope to find and own again! Not only are both fragrances rich and royal to wear, there's a story of regal splendor behind it's creator, HRH Princess Elizabeth, which makes for great conversation. The fragrances of this Princess are both successes and spell Elegance with a capital "E"! Years ago in the 90's I caught a quick glimpse of the Princess in Los Angeles, California (she was with Merv Griffin) she is simply stunning and the epitome of class! Her perfumes reflect her persona perfectly.

I love this fragrance! Bought it on QVC (or perhaps HSN) many years ago on a whim and have never seen it offered again--I do wish that it were more available, as I would wear it much more frequently if I knew where to obtain a supply. I am allergic to many perfumes and this is one that I have no problems with. Remarkably, my little bottle hasn't soured or changed at all over the years, either. It smells as nice today as it did the day I received it! (perhaps 10 years ago...)

Thanks to the contest, I am enjoying E. It has very good sillage and actually smells a little better from a few inches back than directly on my skin (which tends toward sour or bitter). My first perception was that E contained quality ingredients--thank goodness as I have little tolerance for most new department store fragrances. I often have difficulty picking up on iris, and the heart notes came across more chypre-like to me. The base is turns almost gourmandishly sweet in a toasted sort of way. This word gets thrown around a lot, but when it's right, it should be used: elegant. I'm not more enthusiastic because E just doesn't happen to push my buttons in the ways that excite me most. However, I appreciate that it is different from other fragrances in my wardrobe (and other frags in general), and I'm pleased to have something rare that I can share in the form of samples with my friends.

since i got it, E has become the no.1 in my collection. it is very feminine, gorgeous and long-lasting fragrance. the top notes are dominated by hyacinth and orange blossom, rounded by amber and myrrh, which give it a royal touch. after some time it becomes powdery and at the end it becomes soft and more hyacinth-like. the bottle is very elegant. it is a bit retro, of course, as it is reminiscent of the fragrance worn by the russian grand duchess helen romanov. but it gives me a hint of the past times. and...makes me feel very special... kind of lady-like. :)

I adore scent of hyacinth which is most recognizable of those white flowers, and its last long on my skin with sensual and powdery dry notes. Perfect as romantic and luxurious touch!

This perfume is citrusy-fresh and slightly sweet at the very beginning, with a pleasant powdery note (iris), then it dries down with noble and calm floral notes with the dominance of orange blossom. I like it very much.

I like this scent very much. Retro floral, noble and tender. It is combined of four white flowers: hyacinth, iris, orange blossom and jasmine.
Very very feminine and light, extra radiant...
E is devoted to the Russian Duchess Elena Vladimirovna Romanova.
