Possibilities

I was REALLY pleasantly surprised by Possibilities. I normally hate fruit notes - but the peach in here is very pleasant. It's a farmer's market peach - not a grocery store peach, if you know what I mean. The scent opened floral and fruity, then disappeared for a little while, then came back as a peach/musk that was very nice and summery. I might end up buying this one: it's a great price, a pretty bottle, and a pleasant fragrance of a type I haven't been attracted to before!

There's something sharp and harsh about this fragrance. it reminds me a lot of Lancome Tresor - which I reall don't like. This is also a strong peach floral -shoots straight up my nose and makes me nauseated. it's sooo strong too. but, if you like Tresor, you may like this.

Ann Taylor POSSIBILITIES is a remarkably good perfume (edp) for a company that does not actually produce perfume. I am a major consumer of Ann Taylor clothing and so picked this up no doubt on sale during one of my many sprees and then basically forgot about it. I noticed recently that it had been added to the database, which set me off on a "long lost perfume"-finding mission. POSSIBILITIES is a rose-heavy, fairly linear composition which opens in a lovely way. However, as the rose fades, another note, I believe water lily, becomes more dominant. This substance must be synthetic, since it grows bigger and bigger rather than fading away and doesn't fully agree with my system. I have encountered this problem with a number of recent compositions, many of them floral. I do think that POSSIBILITIES offers a pleasing combination of notes, it's just that I have a peculiar incompatibility with one of the components. I do not know whether this fragrance is currently being produced--it's no longer sold at the online AT store--but it's worth testing, if you have the chance and like compositions such as STELLA.

Word of warning: don't base this scent on just what you smell in the bottle, or your first spritz. When I first put this on I thought I would hate it. It smelled heavy generic-perfumey on me. I figured I'd pass. But then, after a few minutes, it turned into a beautiful, light, ethereal floral scent, with watery undertones. It was very soft and very feminine. The only reason I would not repurchase it is because the scent is so short-lived. It had dissipated within about half an hour. With longer staying power I'd definitely purchase a big bottle.

I bought a sample of this in a packet from a thrift store. I'd never heard of it before and sorry to see it's discontinued. It's quite beautiful. This is a rose dominant scent with overlays of an aquatic tone. Think Cool Water meets Tea Rose perfume, repackaged into a polished prep. Very feminine.

I was given this as a gift. I looked it up and am blown away by the prices on eBay 600$? Discontinued? I have a half full 1.7 ml bottle and it smells like a musky rose with a hint of fuzzy peach. Very simple and nice perfect for spring.
