No ships sailing the sea to bring back Elena
Bitter-sweet feelings about this perfume whose force resides in the vetiver and amber. It scared me first when osmanthus and vetiver seemed like a cold wind gust. No warmth there. And no scent for about 15 minutes as if all the notes of this perfume were frozen. Slowly the vetiver made its way out and called the amber to join forces in conquering you. And they continue this struggle all the way to the drydown without success. I could not smell the vanilla and the musc. They do not play any part in this composition.
Not bad but not a winner. Nothing to write home about!
Little sillage, short lived staying power.
A pale Elena .
