My mom had it when I was 3. I adored it! But she gave it away(broke my heart with it, really)! Now as I found it, I´m happy-happy-happy!!! Seems as if I got a great piece of my childhood-joy back.. Well, no idea how it would feel trying it now, but.. I didn´t have much hope to find it again- I only remembered the waves on the bottle and colour of the box(and how special it was). And now, used the colour-search..:D
Sex in a bottle. Really.
Love, love it as much as Diorella, but in different way! Amber notes are very noticeable and they are the main notes which are usually left after drydown. It's mild, -I mean strong but not overpowering, fragarance. My boyfriend was crazy about it, he said at that time that it's a best night fragrance, and Diorella is for day (I had only two parfumes at that time:)) I had parfum and EDT. Now parfume is over already, I liked it more off course.
I was very pleasantly surprised when I sampled this today. I found a bottle as part of a "Les Meilleurs Parfums de Paris" vintage coffret. I have some unopened boxes of the parfum, and I certainly hope it smells as good as this teeny bottle.
My first take on this was of a fresh floral, slightly aldehydic, with a mossy woody base. The sandalwood in particular shone through on this warm July day. I also detected something aquatic; I guessed it to be a watery flower like Cyclamen or Lotus, but I see now that what I interpreted as "water" was in fact a fresh herbal note from the mint and green notes. I don't get any caraway at all, thankfully, as I think it would be quite odd as an entrance to a floral heart. Similarly, the sage is unnoticeable to me, but surely it adds a deep, bright vibrancy to the heart of the composition. The green quality to this scent is allover herbal, and not synthetic in the least. The base is quite mossy and woody, with sandal predominating, but the floral notes, soft, powdery, and the bright herbal notes also continue on for hours. The concentration is quite strong, with longevity about 8 hours. I highly recommend this classic scent- wearable by people of any age and either sex. It is not an overly sweet scent, and me who wear such perfumes as Houbigant's Duc de Vervins or Aramis' 900 would love this. It is also suitable for year round wear. Just delicious.
This is my favorite perfume when I was teenager, but I can't find it anywhere now in Indonesia. Is it discontinued?
A fragrance of my childhood.My mother wore it when I was a little girl.I still remember this sweet delicate elegant smell, I like it and I miss it, though now I wouldn't wear this fragrance.A turbulent perfume of the past:)))
There are three notes here that you'll want to approach with awareness: Caraway, nutmeg and sage. These are specific ingredients that can only be pulled off by specific chemistries, and mine isn't one of them.
I wouldn't call this a floral aldehyde but an oriental floral spicy. I'd say it is an OK, generic scent, certainly not garish. But on me it's not my genre, so I can't say much more.
One of my female professors wore this back when to school. A tall one, blonde, aristocratic whith a nice body. I purchased it for myself and i was happy to find that matched with my own body chemistry. It was a very bright scent, not heavy, not light either, special, persistent from those ones who make your day with their cheerfulness.I don't see it nowhere since. It's a pity though, 'cause it was also of low cost. 16-10-09
I recently had the opportunity to purchase a sample of this scent. Turbulences wasn't quite what I was expecting. I had assumed it would have a dry, mossy grass smell. This perfume still features real oakmoss in the base, though I don't see that listed as a note here. The scent actually goes on very sweet and has a long floral stage in the middle before it settles into the straw-like aroma of the base notes. If I had to sum it up in a sentence, I would describe Turbulences as a comforting sweet floral on a bed of straw. Nice, even if not quite what I expected.
Although the scent is discontinued (at least in the U.S.), there is plenty of it around. The parfum concentration is easily found online for a very good price and has incredible staying power. A single application lasts a good 12+ hours.
I remember my Grandmother wearing this when I was young. A family member brought it back from France. Until recently was she not able to get it in the States. I recall it smelling similar to Chanel #5
