Wings

I still remember myself, 12-13 years old, standing in the cosmetics section of Robinson's May, looking curiously at a poster of Isabella Rosselini at the Lancome counter, engulfed and entranced by the scent of powder, lipsticks and perfume, knowing, this would become a lifelong addiction. I had just begun playing with fragrances back then. I was just about to leave the department store into the mall, when a Prescriptives lady sprayed Flirt into the air (another one of my 90s favourites), it was then, in my peripheral vision, I was lured by a Wings box set containing a full size and beautiful little mini EDP. I fell in love with the blue and gold hues and when I inhaled the perfume, wore it, I became it. Some 20 years and 200 hundred perfumes later, this still wins a prize in my top drawer. Nothing ever has given me quite so much pleasure and now, pure nostalgia.

I tried it a few years back at a local chemist`s - they were down to 4 (yes 4!) euro by the 30 ml bottle, and I instantly bought at least 5 of them, and gave to mum and other females in the family. We all agreed that it`s a pleasant, everyday scent for women in their 30s and beyond, that you can wear all summer long. It has the right balance of freshness-floweriness-muskiness, I never found any similarity with Eternity or Rumeur though. To me it`s pure white flowers, gardenia and lily especially, and the drydown is quite musky. It`s probably the best budget perfume I ever bought..And I agree, that it does have the 90s vibe..In any way - I`m defo getting a budget bottle of it sometime soon!

I love this fragrance. I found a small bottle of the perfume in a consignment shop. This is a soft, sofisticated & modern floral which smells like dominate white florals on me, which I love. Gardenia??? How can it go wrong??? Love at first sniff. The base notes keep it from being a too-sweet floral on me & it just softens to a watery white floral. It reminds me of Chanel No 5 because they smell similar. Love it & worth every penny. 'Just wish it would last longer than 4-6 hours on me.

This definitely smells like it could be a Sophia Grojsman creation! I love all of her perfumes, so I was pleasantly surprised when I took my first sniff of Wings! To me it’s Volupte mixed with Eternity. And I also get Spellbound 100%. The osmanthus gives it a fruity apricot juiciness, and the heliotrope hugs you with fluffy powderiness. The jasmine and gardenia are sweet but not cloying. It’s juicy, it’s soft, it’s delicious! Wings has me flying high!

It is full of osmathus (think of Narciso Rodriguez for Her)...creamy osmathus floating in the sky, falling into a field of lilac, jasmine....slipping into an amber river...personal and passionate...complex and exciting but not sophisticated...raw and loud but super-feminine Reminds me of the night...I use it for night sleeping these days...the strong osmathus-amber dry down always shocks me in the morning :)
