Zibeline by Weil

Carla

Are you experienced? If so,then consume some giggle water and take a trip back in time with this "Real McCoy" of a fragrance. THINK: Roaring 20's with the guys in their zoot suits and the dolls in their flappers. THINK: of "Putting on the Ritz" while wearing sumptuous Parisian ermine or imperial Russian sable. Are you ready to dive in for some real razzmatazz? If so then lay on some vintage "hotsy-totsy" Zibeline for the ride of your life, no doubt it's the "cat's meow"!

The extrait of this timeless animalic scent with it's leathery, buttery, woody amber is a retro explosion that should be savored. In all it's glory it is powerful and sexy and although some define it's buttery richness as skanky I beg to differ and say more "swanky"! With it's subtle fruit and floral combination this civet pronounced wonder is the "living end"

In conclusion, because of the change of ownerships and the reformation of this scent, which unfortunately is a mere reflection of the original aroma, I highly recommend all perfume collectors to pass on the current formulation and scour the market to obtain an original bottle of this keen copacetic creation.

I like this perfume, and I am bordering on love.

It's spicy, wich is my favorite style of all time. It's airy- but the base notes make it weighty, too, so the compostion doesn't float away. At first it reminded me of Norell, because of it's complexity and heaviness. At moments it reminds me of Gucci eau de parfum because of the taragon in combo with the other spices being similar to caraway in Gucci, and because of Zibelienes resionous qualities.

However, Zibeliene is much more refined, sofisticated, and delicate than the afformentioned...and any others that it reminds me of. Great balance in the composition, the variety of spices aren't fading, it's all lively and full of charachter. I get a bit of a hippie vibe here too, and I want to say "I dig it !"

Ah, and I suppose I am just realizing it now. What a unique touch-aldehydes on spicy, earthy, and thick notes. This is great. I like it more than Coco Chanel that I tested recently. Yes, Coco is wonderful, but, it didn't change much, it's prescence wasn't as noticeable or intriguing for me in the way that Zibeline is. Oh, yes, and no vanilla here..

Yes, Strange review here. Nothing monotone, simple, or exaclty something I can describe with one tone, or idea, one direction of how to describe it.
