EdP for all vanilla haters
It was a complete coincidence that this one was allowed to move in with me - I had already tested the EdT at the time and banished it to the no-no list due to the pungent vanilla in the base (I hate vanilla). Well and then I had a sample as an addition and since everything gets a second chance, the perfume was applied - surprise! Another one of those candidates where EdP and EdT are noticeably different and you should definitely try both. Nomade Eau de Toilette was also a case like this (but I liked the EdT more than the perfume).
For me, fragrances tend to be very sweet on the skin (so vanilla on top doesn't work at all) but at the same time I really like these white/pink, powdery, slightly floral fragrances that are reminiscent of fine body lotions. It's also always a dance on a knife's edge, because you don't want to smell like grandma's powder pot at the same time. There's a balance here; at the tender age of 40, I find it "age appropriate" - I'd probably find it a bit old-fashioned on a 20-year-old.
Lana del Rey (quickly googled, age 85, okay fits my 30+ estimate) as the advertising face is a good choice, feminine, a bit retro, sexy without looking cheap - I'll just say eyeliner and updo. I also somehow have to think of the series Mad Men.
Apart from that, whoever came up with this incredibly STUPID name - the bottle is chic and fits the fragrance. Guilty... why guilty? Why is that? For smelling good?
Speaking of smelling good, the citric top note is non-existent for me, if anything there is a hint of pepper, which adds a little spice to the floral potpourri that follows. The flowers, especially lilac/rose, remain gently creamy, not sweet scent bombs. I would have blindly suspected musk in the base, but there is officially none, ejaaaal. All together very harmonious and elegant.
Almost a touch too sexy/feminine for the office for me (!), I'm not the type for that, but an ideal candidate in the evening/date.
Longevity is very good, I'm still cautious about silage, as I always use such creamy fragrances very cautiously at first so that they don't annoy me. However, I would give it at least a normal to initially strong rating. At high summer temperatures it would certainly be too much for me, but below 20°C it's great.
