Sonia

Hi Carera, Actually I too sometimes request more than once. There are just a lot of requests being made and I know XSX tries to add as many as possible, but in the vintage range there are a lot of perfumes not known for their notes. The perfumes I have to request several times, is mostly because the notes cannot be found unfortunately! Good luck! Action

This is exquisite - one of the most perfectly-blended fragrances I have ever had the priviledge of trying. The previous reviews have already done it justice so I won't go on. Just a small comment though. Why is it listed as "Sonia Bogner"? My little vintage bottle just says Bogner, and so does the photo above.

Oh my god XSX!!! You found the notes!!! How can I ever thank you for adding this masterpiece!!

03. april 2012 I have 2 full size bottles (30 and 100ml) of this amazing fragrance in EDT (at last!!) and one of them has a leaflet included. Let me just rewrite what is written there, it says it all about this outstanding creation: " Mysteriously powerful, gently unforgettable - seeming contradictions blended to a perfect harmony in an original fragrance. The autonomous green-fruity freshness, with an unconventional counterpoint of flattering vanilla exctracts, has been expertly shaded off with spicily exotic and flowery elements. Discreetly spicy components from tropical hard-woods create a harmonious interplay. Bogner Women - an out-of-the-ordinary fragrance, intense but unassuming" And it also says that it was available not only in EDT but also in perfume natural spray! I wonder if the EDT is SUPER strong, then how is it with perfume concentration then???!!! Ladies, this one is a truly unique scent!!!! CAUTION: For a strong personality and character only! Great sillage (a powerful one!) and superb lasting power! Soemhow it reminds me a bit of Krizia "Moods" which i have in EDP and strongly dislike, but this one i can actually wear. This one is indeed based on a controversions and is sweety-green. It does scream "Vintage" but in a good way. This one is a not-an-old-lady "vintage", but a strong and confident woman of a typical female image from 80 ́s glossy magazines. But it is very wearable nowdays as well.This perfume does make a statement! It has a very strong tolu balsam and civet note with the green notes as well. The peach is very ripe here but iris doesn ́t allow it to become rotten one. Do not overspray, or you might end up having a "dizzy head". Lasts for over 12 hours (amazing for EDT, you can still smell it going strong next day) and goes strong (sillage) all the way. The drydown is all about civet and amber. No green notes anymore, just pure animalistic balmy trace. I don ́t smell any aldehydes in this fragrance and that ́s good! I DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO TRY THIS ONE if you ́re into vintage bold scents! P.S. This scent is known also as "Bogner women II".

My sample is being dabbed on which is more than likely the reason I have bypassed the aldehydes. All of the floral aspects are quite tame and lovely. The vanilla is very warm and not overly sweet. Amber is present creating a velvety, sensuous non-powdery silk that is luxurious through and through. The florals and gourmands blend quite nicely creating a balanced delicate floral with a full bodied suede like musk. Civet is noticeable but is not boastful, it simply lingers in the background mingling with the ylang making this most suitable for the woman who enjoys the spotlight. This is red carpet material for the sexy actress who thrives on controversy. The female cast from the show Desperate Housewives comes to mind.
