I miss it sometimes!
Love you Sherapop!

Ever since learning that beloved Fragrantican Action's name was inspired by Trussardi ACTION, I've been interested in testing this perfume. Thanks to kastehelmi, my wish has come true.

ACTION is a chypre to my nose. Yes, there are green elements, making it possible to interpret this as a floral green, but I feel that the galbanum and oakmoss really pull the composition to the chypre side. Dark, with a slightly bitter edge, ACTION is a substantial creation at once complex and earthy but somewhat floral as well. The hyacinth contributes to the greenishness, but I do find the color here to be closer to that of an overcast forest than a plot of glistening grass shimmering bright green in the sun.

I especially like the drydown of ACTION, which offers a splendid melange of floral and chypre notes and has great longevity. The opening seems a bit heavy, but the drydown is definitely worth the short wait.

A pretty flowery one, but reminds me something. Good for office I think.

Would love to fnd this fragrance again. Impossible to locate it though.
Still remains my favorite perfume. Have been slightly reminded of it from Narciso Rodriguez for HER presently...

A treasure, but not for a beginner, highly complex and heavy. But I have loved it for decades.

This was a very pretty floral chypre - quite sweet, but wearable. Great for summer, fairly young and feminine and much more memorable than many of the current equivalent mainstream fragrances. The bottle was HIDEOUS and I suspect that this perfume could have done better with a different design.
