Chatelaine

To me this smells nothing like White Linen or Destiny. I loathe White Linen and would never wear anything that smelled like it. This is lovely. It actually is a spicy floriental kind of like Red Moscow meets Chanel, though I am not a big Chanel fan either. It has carnation and spices in it to my nose. And aldehydes.

Chatelaine is a classic floral along the same vein as White Linen. It also reminds me of Destiny by Marilyn Miglin, which I do not have but which my mother in law wears.In some ways it is like an EDT version of Beautiful: rose, hyacinth, that bouquet smell. But it is lighter than any of these perfumes I mentioned. Mostly rose and hyacinth. Does Not Last! That is my only criticism. Not sure how available this one is. I have had my bottle for several years. Of the Castle Forbes women's fragrances I have, this one is the lightest and most "office safe." It's a very spring like classic floral. Safe as a gift if you should encounter it because it is packaged in a mint green plaid box and comes in a small voile bag.

A fine niche fragrance - rare to get a discounted tester (currently on Overstock for $18), as it retails for $92 for the same 4.4 oz size. To my nose it smells very similar to Marilyn Miglin's Destiny or Estee Lauder's White Linen. Chatelaine Eau De Parfum Natural Spray (4.4 oz) Scotland Named in Honor of the Lady of the House.
