Les 4 Saisons: Hiver M. Micallef for women

Initially, I mistook this fragrance for an incense scent. Then I realized that the incense smell must have been caused by the neroli combining with something else; it quickly revealed its true form -- heavy, powdery, and a silage monster. Some have compared this to Lou Lou, and from what I've read of Lou Lou, they're dead on. The neroli eventually fades, leaving the powder behind, and then it ends up in a skin-scent vanilla. I don't get the association with Winter; oranges are not winter fruits, at least in the Northern hemisphere!

You might be wondering why I was wearing this in the first place (admit it, you are). It was sold as part of a Winter sampler pack that was also marketed as unisex. Anyhow, this is definitely an old-school, unsubtle perfume that is in no way unisex. It doesn't create pleasant associations in my mind (the dressing room of chorus line girls for one), but as always, your skin chemistry may do something different than mine.

well. I did not get ANY flowers. This smells very warm though, almost honey-like. Very pleasant but would not say it was unique.
But the drydown. There is something really disturbing about it...when i sniff at my skin there is a dirt-like aroma that could also be mistaken with poo. Sorry but i had to make this statement.
