Hey Monsoon launched a perfume called monsoon in the mid 90's. The bottle was a little frosted blue ball (slightly squashed over to the side so it wasn't symmetrical)with a plastic bronze coloured spiral cone lid.
Does anyone know if this is the same fragrance just relaunched? Its been so long since I smelt the original but the notes listed seem similar.
I liked in in the 90's but not sure I'd go back there.

I really love Monsoon shop... and was quit curios when I have read that they have lunched their perfume.

Finally I found them in Boots...
I was quit surprised to find them on the cheap brands shelf...
My Monsoon, great quality clothes/accessories, not cheap at all being on the cheap shelf..!?!

So I took this beautiful bottle, which appeared to be a bit too plastic in my opinion, and the pink colour was just TOO PINK...

I sprayed them on my wrist and got a bit shocked...it was a bunch of aldehydes mixed with bergamot and neroli...kind of feeling like when you sniff perfumes created in 70's, like for ex. Rive Gauche YSL...although without its metalic feeling more aldehyde mixed with green notes...
It makes them boho perfume, being in right path with the style of Monsoon..
Kind of French boho, more elegant then young perfume...

Strong aldehyde feeling makes them unique perfume today...

Aldehyde that starts to soften just within few minutes into Moroccan Rose Oil and eastern spices notes...
Somehow now I start to feel fruity notes! Aldehydes, rose, spices, folowed by delicate sweetenes of lychee...
Strange as I didn't feel them as 1st notes, rather as second/base notes...
After 1 hour all I can feel is slightly sweetenes of fruits mixed with...vanilla/amber...

I like the unique feeling of aldehydes...but I am not sure about the sweet fruit notes...as in the end they are not very elegant but not very girly because of the start...
Would I wear them?
I do not think so...they dissapear too fast, after 1-1.5 hour...and I rather prefer girly or elegant perfume, not both in one bottle...

i just bought this perfume last saturday..the moment i tested it on my skin, i immediately bought it.im very choosy on perfumes coz of my body chemistry and coz of my choosy nose.:-)..this perfume really lives up even stands out to my standards!!! this is really a very nice perfume i can say...with everything in it,floral but not too much...oriental but not suffocating...sexy and mysterious.
