Masumi

I absolutely adore this perfume! From the first time I used it I fell inlove and it's a love story that never died. The only problem is that I cannot find it on the market anymore :( I have just a few drops left in an old bottle that I keep for a really special time, but I anyone knows where I could buy it, please let me know. Thank you. Honestly on me it's more woody and musky, very persistent but it has nothing in comon with Chanel No.5. That's an entirely synthetic fragrance, (impossibly so for my taste) sweet, whereas Masumi has not a single sweet note. vanilla and spices toghether cancel the sweetness. It is heavy so I do not recommend it for the summer, maybe for an evening, but it is a stretch. By feminine I do not understand sweet and so to me it is one of the most classy, feminine and distinguished frangrances ever encountered. It smells much more "expensive" than it actually was - I say "was" because I haven't seen it for a long time.

Masumi cologne is a gem from the less-lauded 60s era of Coty, a spicy green rose that begins with an astringency but then softens among a substrate of lily of the valley and other florals. It is woody, mossy, powdery, and has a distinct tarragon note, fusing the florals to the musky, almost smoky amber base. I frankly was surprised by its quality and beauty, given that this was a time where Coty is thought to have fallen somewhat from grace, but it does sing a serene song with some naturalism and cohesiveness. The cologne is potent for its alleged concentration—its base can still be detected, hugging my skin, eight hours after application.

A gorgeous rich classic perfume of its vintage. I know it through the bottles I was able to buy through ebay when ebay was full of vintage perfume. It is deep, complex, and to me, very satisfying. I'll write more about it when I dig out my bottles again. I have so much perfume that it gets stored in about 3 different places in my home, and when I'm too busy, I end up just grabbing whatever is handiest.

This one will forever remind me of my mum. She used to wear it back in 80's and back then it was on pricey point.. so she had it for special occasions.Sometimes when I'm shopping in small perfume shop a I like to smell it as it brings memories. It is outdated smell and very musky but still I love it

Similar to the lines of the fragrances of Avon's "Here's My Heart" and " Somewhere" it has that vibe about it...... That one distinct note to it..... Follow up..... OMG , I have it on now at it is screaming "Angelfire" a scent Mary Kay had out years back.... Very strange.....
