Realm Women

I've had my bottle of Realm for several years now and have rarely used it. It's always been...."nice" but nothing that I ever craved. I've always thought it was a bit on the too-sweet side as well and I'd have to be in the right mood to wear it. It's officially fall now and for whatever reason, I reached for my bottle today. Maybe the issue was that I was trying to wear this when the weather was too warm...it came off as too syrupy sweet. In a bit cooler weather, Realm...on me anyway...is a tantalizing,beeswax and honey concoction, laced with cinnamon and clove and delicate flowers. There's something "balmy" and almost medicinal about it.Reminds me of venturing through the TCM aisle of an Asian grocery store. Realm is my new (old) friend. Update: The drydown is worth the wait on this one. If the SUPER sweet opening scares you off.....just hold on!

I picked this up fairly inexpensively on Amazon and I've been giving it a test run for a few weeks now. I wasn't expecting much as far as the scent goes but I've been pleasantly surprised. It smells like a very melodic floriental on me, with a touch of citrus, and as a previous reviewer stated, I also detect cloves in it to start. Nothing too overpowering or headache-inducing. I finally started wearing it out of my house recently and I've received some rather enthusiastic compliments on how good I smell from strangers. The last fragrance I wore where I received random compliments like this was Liz Claiborne's Vivid, so I think I might go ahead and make this my new signature.

I stumble onto Realm for Women over 20yrs ago... It was my fav of all time! I loved the smell and so did others - I could still smell it on me the next day. Price was so amazing I'd buy 6 bottles at a time ($7 each). Suddenly EDP Realm became unavailable, then EDT became hard to find, next almost nonexistent to costing $50-$100 when found. I wanted Realm so bad, I went to Fragrantica to find a replica. So far, nothing compares to the smell, sillage or longevity... I want my Realm EDP back!

I have been wearing this fragrance snce it first came out. A perfect blend of citrus and spicy vanilla, it is another long-lasting scent nice for day or evening.
