Downtown Girl Revlon for women

Gaaaaaa! I received this today and it is ODD. I'm not sure if the juice "turned" or not. It is just such a weird composition. The white floral's and patchouli totally combat each other. It's sort of a mess on my skin right now. The top notes coming out right now are not unlike the ammonia of cat urine mixed with the scent of celery and baby powder of all things. Almost like a disposable diaper/nappie that has been peed in and left in the sun with rotting celery. It is similar to any civet's I've ever sniffed which I don't like at all. By now I am a self declared experienced (enough?) fragratician so no not to run to the sink and scrub yet if I want to discover if I truly can handle this fragrance or not, but for now...blach!!!!! I'll see what it does over the next few hours. SO BIZARRE.

Boy, do I remember wearing Downtown Girl after it debuted in 1992.

I loved the black frosted glass bottle & the price was affordable. The scent had to be worn VERY lightly - this was one of those very concentrated, spicy, rich & sharp fragrances that are better appreciated at a minimum.

And I do mean a MINIMUM.

I enjoyed it then, but I couldn't enjoy it for more than 2 or 3 bottles. It was sultry & sexy & did feel urban & downtown. I still like it for nostalgic reasons but there's no way I'd wear a peppery scent like this again.

I'm much more into bright, creamy white florals now - something more demure & less assertive (or demanding, lol).
