AH Eau de Parfum

First spray: two immediate things are happening, in equal measure. First, a beautiful women's dress shop my mom would go to in the late 60s and early 70s, that had this soft floral scent in the air. (If anyone's from Dallas, and that old, The Orchid Shop at Oak Lawn and Cedar Springs. Gone decades by now.) Second, my dad's good friend from Greece who was sophisticated, worldly, a bit of a playboy and always smelled great. But then, the two distinct things become one thing. There's nothing masculine or feminine, just human. Effortlessly sophisticated. The kind of person who can put on casual clothes, and always look right. The kind of person who tells a great story, and you want to be part of that story. The kind of person who is himself or herself, the same and authentic person, all the time, talking to a queen or a president or the sandwich delivery girl or the guy who cuts the lawn. So, yes, neroli and bergamot. I never did get the musk. Something warm and a bit sweet - maybe honey. No patch that I could detect. Lasts a long time, and it just becomes a scent, without definition, but good. I like. Good cause. And yes, Anthony Hopkins with his blue Welsh eyes and fearless fierce acting talent.

AH EDP is a warm spring day - right on the cusp of summer - picnicking in a field of jasmine in the late-afternoon sun... just as the air is starting to cool... having just eaten an orange. Take that feeling, have it distilled into a bottle, and you get this. Also, I am in love with the jasmine note in this. The citrus and the musk are super complementary notes, but that jasmine really resonates. Mmm. I love masculine-leaning jasmine. In short, this is an altogether joyful composition, and I recommend it highly. 9/10 (-1 for kind of disappointing longevity). **Edit** It looks like this has been discontinued. So glad I stocked up when I could.

I just received my two bottles of this fragrance and I will say that it is a very pleasant scent. My only negative comment is that it was advertised as unisex and there is absolutely nothing masculine about this fragrance. This is 100% a woman's perfume and because I got two bottles I would give them to my mother and sister. As for the fragrance itself it's actually a very beautiful scent. It's very floral and light and powdery. If you can get it for the discounted price it's well worth it!

This is the prettiest orange blossom I've ever sampled. I sprayed it on my wrists before going to bed and woke up to the scent as my hand was curled under my pillow and it still remained strong on the cuff of my pajamas. I don't think I've ever had such a delightful experience before with a fragrance. Like I woke up smiling because of it. I don't have anything else to say beyond the fact that it makes me happy and that in and of itself is worth a full bottle.

I also paid for 3 dollar sample, I also got targeted from Instagram... overall I love it. Main notes: ORANGE BLOSSOM, soapy jasmine, light skin musk. It fades a lot, but would you really want a STRONG orange blossom perfume? Nah. Fades very very light, can apply multiple times a day if wanted. I dont really get any of the other notes though. Delightful.
