Not impressed, sadly.
My review is for the original release in a huge 245ml bottle. Always kept in the dark inside it´s box, so the notes should be intact.
First of all, i think that the notes are incomplete: the original release has a leaflet in the box, and i am not sure if those are the notes, that are drawn in that leaflet, or just a source of inspiration for the composition, so i will just name them (in french, as they are written over there, not to mislead anyone with my translation).
Promenade olfactive a New-york: cerisiers, pruniers, feux d´artifice, roses, petits pais italiens, laque, narcisses, jonquilles, cedres&pins, orange, canelle, canard, cardamome, epices, humus. (cherry trees, plum trees, fireworks, roses, Italian rolls, lacquer, daffodils, cedars & pines, orange, cinnamon, duck, cardamom, spices, humus.) If you look at these notes and smell the perfume simultaneously, then it makes more sense, than the notes, that are listed above.
Upon initial application it smells like a nutmeg, but i guess it is a either note of actual hummus or combination of notes, that indeed makes it smell like hummus ( if you have been eating it, then you know what smell it has). I really do not like the opening at all due to spices and wood combination, but after the opening phase is over, then you get to the very linear and basic scent itself. Some say it´s a famous trademarked Guerlinade accord, but i do not anything about that, as i am not a huge Guerlain fan, so for me it is just a boring scent. Daffodils/narcissus, very faint plum/cherry mix and that artificial note, that i would also name a lacquer accord. At certain point it actually smells sort of "La petite robe noire" due that cherry/lacquer accord. I cannot say much about this fragrance rather, than it is simple and quite linear. It does not worth the money they ask for it for sure. I remember i have paid bit over 100 euros for it back in the day, but now the prices are ridiculous for this bottle. Very basic, inoffensive, linear fragrance with low projection.
