A delicious nutty pistachio vanilla that’s not heavy per se, but very rich. To overspray is to eat the whole box of cookies. Don’t do it.

A light, friendly, hug of slightly fizzy strawberry, much less sticky than the notes suggest. Frangipani and coconut evident in the base.

There are much better freshies. But this otherwise enh white musk/green apple/citrus is at its best in humidity, and refreshes then.

The peach in this is a sour one, and while it doesn’t dominate, it yields a tart, lotiony rose from an imagined era of graciousness & lace.

Fuzzy, scratchy, classic, huge. Violet leaf in front of narcissus atop moss. Enough like petrichor to please the hindbrain. Not men’s alone!

Now this is aristocracy: an intense heliotrope (under a thin violet veneer) as soft and opaque and ruthless as hydrated lime.

Scent

Wonderful. Hyacinth/galbanum, bitterer chamomile, moss, & a traditional rose/violet. Created for a museum and owns its anachronistic glory.

Soft sweet velvety verbena; dry on top, saturated below, w/ a bitter, syrupy background. Fits the shade of green they used. Not longlasting.

Not quite smoke or vapor, but ginger intense in the air over an open flame. Sweet but not otherwise floral. Dryish. Nocturnal/crepuscular.

Iris: serene cushiony iris draped over hot-drink amber. Not quite complex enough to be retro. Would suit the calmest person you know.
