Masquerade

You'll be surprised what hidden treasures that comes in cheap/inexpendsive perfumes this happends to be one of them. this is classifide as a Oriental Floral to my nose at first i thought it smelled more like a Floral Gourmand but it's dries to an vanilla note and a strong sliage of it and an mengling note of Magnolia amber is pretty predominate too. so whould describe this as an Oriental Vanilla.

I agree with Sissi! This perfume is really beautiful! Actually, until now Mackie has not yet dissapointed me!! I only wish I had 'Perhaps'!!!

I found more info on Masquerade. The notes listed are the following: Top: Freesia, mandarin, lily of the valley; Heart: violet, passion flower, jasmine, osmanthus; Base: sandalwood, musk, woods. I can smell strong freesia with a slight addition of a lily-of the-valley, then the scent gets more body, becomes deep and rich. I have no jasmine in my Masquerade, and I like this - because jasmine perfumes tend to resemble one another; and I smell no violet either. What I get might be either passion flower or osmanthus, i don't know how they smell, but what I get is definitely exotic and sweet. Musk is not my favourite ingredient, but here musk is gentle and interwined with woody notes. Don't get any gourmand notes, I think it's a truly Orientla Floral scent, and I agree with the description I found somewhere:"Aromas of a dark garden on a warm southern night, silk of the dresses, smell of hot skins, whispers, hints, smiles". Evening scent for a summer southern night, that's for sure!

This smells slightly fruity to me, nice and young, like Exclamation. I showered myself in it yesterday because I don't think the sillage is great, it is moderate to soft.

Synthetic and cloying-like flower candy on my skin...There is nothing "silky" or alluring about this.....
