Fashion Decree Woman

The "Maybach Equivalent Revival" of a long forgotten old English perfume brand. Apparently the brand was revived with new investment money last year 2013. Now it is based in Italy (go figure). My perception of this brand is that it wants to be somewhere between Creed and Penhaligon's. It is very well blended and very competitively priced. This is a truly modern lovely floral, if not fruity Pachouli. It has some chypre sensibilities and in my opinion a very well executed interpretation of an old-wordly smell with a modern twist. There might even be a frankinsense there but it is ever so faint. I also get a rose, or is it the silk tree blossom? A truly unique scent and with pricing at the lower end this is a very commercial niche fragrance that should find many lovers and supporters. If only their advertising and brand recognition was a bit stronger.... 8/10 Lovely unisex fruity, floral chypre with a nuveau-retro vibe.

The previous reviews have said it all. It's really a nice, feminine fragrance, the patchouli note is quite potent and there is an interesting powdery hint of iris. While it's really quite similar to Dahlia Noir (patchouli + iris), Fashion decree has the magnolia note which moves it into slightly sour direction, while Dahlia Noir has the rose note which makes it sweeter and even more powdery. The longevity and sillage seem to be really nice for an EdT. Overall, a really nice elegant perfume. :) beautiful bottle and presentation.

My first experience of new Atkinson's ( I have a vintage California Poppy ) A blind buy as it was such a bargain ! The box and bottle are beautiful and good quality so would be great as a gift, the juice would be a pretty safe buy, too, for most ages: As other's have said: a sheer, modern patchouli ( I adore full-on, old school, green, medicinal patch but not all the time, in every scent ) Yes, it does share a base with the likes of BV ( and, by extension, Floral Street's Chypre Sublime ) but with soft, powdery floral top notes. Maybe a little vintage/chypre feel ( vintage-lite ? ) but not to the extent that it would offend modern sensibilities - I, too, love 70's chypres ( the absolute pinnacle of perfumery IMHO ) so would a been over the moon if it had been but, like many modern frags that are christened "chypre" but aren't, it just hints at it. Maybe the name's a little incongruous ? I imagined "Fashion Decree" to be a bit more edgy ? Altogether, a mild-mannered, well-blended, easy-to-wear fragrance.

This a patchouli centered scent but it is not heavy- it is a clear (sheer) patchouli. It is crisp, slightly earthy and floral sweet. This perfume states SRING - light yellow, prim, dainty, an upscale neighborhood with Topiaries of angels & neat flowerbeds at their feet - it is energetic. A very lovely modern everyday office friendly scent.

Might just be my sample, or my picky niche spoiled nose, but yuck! This is a short blast of astringent cleaning product, then a fizzy pop just-cleaned-the-counter-with-a-dodgy-sponge wet meh drydown. Not blind buy safe in my opinion I get zero patch, a little pepper and something citrussy, no magnolia...
