Back in time
When wearing this I often get the feeling that this is way older than it is. The year is 1995 but had it been 1955 I would not have been surprised. And all this is written with the warmest of feelings for old scents. To me So Pretty is a really beautiful, flowery fragrance with a depth and variation in notes that I sometimes miss in the more modern perfumes.
The top is fruity. Peach, Blackberry and Bergamot… so delicate and sweet. The neroli gives a hint of what is going to happen in the heart, but the fruity beginning is really mouthwatering. Then come the flowers. Bang! Jasmine, rose, Iris, orchid and lily-of-the-Valley. All in one pot and I think this is what gives this scent the old-school impression. So many and strong flowernotes. But to me - just wonderful! The persistency of this bouquet is out of this world. It goes on forever, and I can wake up the next day still smelling the perfume. Sometimes the drydown is just a haze, sometimes more clear to my nose. But the best thing about this scent is the heart. Wauw!
The bottle is a perfect match for this scent. Very feminine with smooth lines and a curvy look, perfected with the golden top.
Fun fact: my daughter once came to me, sniffed my neck and said: Aww mum! You smell like an old woman… It is probably the best compliment I have ever had for a perfume… ️
