Caesars Woman

I agree with Action and Jillzilla; Caesar's Woman is Orange Blossom and Rose, it's rich and indulgent, complex and a very 80's perfume... and it's absolutely wonderful. I found it on sale at Marshall's today for only 9.99. What a find! I wore this perfume in 1988 when it was first released, and it's as good now as it was then; wearing Caesar's Woman is both a nostalgia trip and an indulgence for me. I never thought I'd find this perfume again, so it's a real treat to have it in my collection again after all these years. This is a sensual perfume that combines floral notes and woody notes beautifully. The opening is incredibly strong, but when the rose and mimose bloom in the first few minutes, it becomes sweet, feminine and really pretty. The sandalwood, musk and patchouli base notes calm and smooth out this perfume, leaving the dry down warm, earthy, and, oddly enough, still very sweet. I could have sworn there was amber in the base notes- that's the kind of sweetness that's in the dry down. Caesar's Woman is a gorgeous, sexy and feminine creation, and better still, it's a very affordable indulgence!

This is the only perfume that I remember the EXACT moment I smelled it. I was in college as an opera student 30 plus years ago. I was coming down the back hallway after a performance ans caught a whiff of something that was so seductive and beautiful I walked in several directions until I could pick up the trail of where it was coming from. I identified it and CHASED an older woman down the hallway aggressive... I could NOT allow her to escape without knowing the name of her fragrance. It was this perfume. It took several years until I could find or afford it, but when I finally did, I was very pleased my memory had not failed me. The sent is intoxicating. The sillage of this perfume is intense... you have to be veey cautious in application. It is definitely not appropriate for the workplace. This is a date-night perfume. It evokes images of women's power, and strength in ancient times. I imagine thia might be what a Pharoah's wife, a goddess might have worn. The smell on the skin is deep, dark and intense.

There have been two times in my life that I liked a perfume enough that when I got a whiff of someone’s silage, I chased a pure stranger around until they told me why they smelled like a goddess. Once was for a woman wearing Prada, the other was for a woman wearing Ceasars Woman when I was in college . I have a HORRIBLE memory, but this encounter made such an impression on me, 15 years later, I still remembered the name of the perfume when my perfume was DC’d. These smell of this perfume is incredibly strong, one of the strongest I can recall. I have a tendency to be drawn to these types of perfumes, but I also get awful headaches. As such, I’m an expert an applying perfumes with notoriously strong silages LIGHTLY so they don’t cause an issue in the healthcare setting. Indeed it is possible. To be sure, body chemistry is at play as well. Definitely a perfume for an older, confident individual.

I initially bought this in my 20s on a trip to Vegas with my parents and grandparents. It was such a fun trip and the last one with my grandfather who LOVED to play craps. I bought a bottle in a gift shop at Caesars on a whim and wore it for years and years. Men would compliment my fragrance quite often-I mean men in their 50s and 60s and I was in my 20s-40s. I should have bought every single bottle when I started seeing it show up at TJ Maxx. I miss it so. I'm going to try one of the new bottles even though everyone says it's just not the same. Alas.

Less than $10 at Burlington. This is an amazing scent. It has so many layers. I bought it not expecting much but curious about the reviews and notes. Blew me away. First spray is a wash of green. before settling into a gorgeous deep blend. It's an enormous scent, and I recommend misting by spraying in the air and walking through once (twice at the most). I adore this scent. Once of my favorites ever. Worth 20x more than the price I paid. Edit: I strongly recommend the mist-walk-through approach here.
