Frida Kahlo Eau de Toilette

Got this last week. Ok.....I got it based on my admiration of the woman/artist Frida Kahlo....and the artsy bottle and packaging.....and the various notes listed in the fragrance. I am very pleased with the scent. It does go back to the "classic" type fragrances...IMHO. The notes are all "in there" at different parts of the wearing. I would say the lily of the valley pops up...then retreats...as do the other floral aspects in this, and IMO, the florals are kinda dusty/dry aromatic...herbal touches. (the lavender?) and ..a tad of underlying sweetness. The rose is spicy dry...not "rosy" per se. There is a certain green vibe going on....like mossy/leafy rather than bright fresh green. The performance is moderate on my skin. I really like the vibe of this scent. Pretty easy to wear, but may not appeal to everyone...due perhaps to it's "bohemian" side....again, IMO. It does "remind me of" some other fragrance, which I cannot pinpoint at the moment. Further wear needed. A very nice blind buy for me.

I absolutely love this. I stumbled upon it at a JCPenney, and I'm so glad I did! Obviously, I am a huge fan of Frida Kahlo, so I was immediately drawn to the color, the statuette, and her image. When I smelled it, it was sweet, kind of earhty and musky and fresh. like you're in an old home at the beach or an old village. I am Lebanese, and it made me think of home <3

First 1-2 seconds I was Ugh!! Blind buy booboo. Too green. Then.....literally second 3 -5 rose- white florals sweeten the citrus. I LOVE IT!!!!! Patchouli in the base. The more I let it develop the more I like it!!!!!

Frida Kahlo wore Shalimar, which I own and love, so I'll stick to that. I wonder what Frida The Communist would think about this.

It's nice, doesn't last long though. Very air freshener type smell. Nothing worth a repeat buy.
