(Why doesn't Houbigant do more with the bottle? It looks as cheap as the box looks lovely. Same deal with Quelques Fleurs l'Originale.)

This seems very French Parfum to me. The top notes are supposed to include blackcurrant along with bergamot and grapefruit, but I never get the currant. The bitter citrus is pleasant, especially when it begins to move into the sweet floral heart. Unfortunately for me, the jasmine here is highly indolic, and I get a lot of "eau de dirty underpants," when I try this. Since I have a low skank-tolerance, that rules out a number of occasions during which I could actually wear this fragrance: can't wear it to work, can't wear it to church, can't wear it OUT anywhere. I'm using up my samples by wearing this when I know my husband's in an amorous mood and we're staying in.

Having said that, I have to admit that this has one of the most pleasant drydowns I've ever experienced. I just don't enjoy enduring 90 minutes of skank to get to the drydown.
