Harvest 2009 Ange ou Demon Fleur d'Oranger

I'm in LOVE!! Okay first off you must like the original to like this. I personally find that it is extremely similar to the original. I purchased it because I got a smokin' deal (waaaay cheaper than the original Ange ou Demon) and because I loved the scent of Ange ou Demon but wanted to find a flanker that perhaps lasted longer (I ended up purchasing the parfum version of Ange ou Demon so I no longer had the need to buy the EDP version). Well I found this and said, "What the heck?" I bought it and I was amazed! The orange blossom just gives the perfume a slight freshness up front but the dry down is still all about the saffron and lots of beautiful florals mixed in with a sweet, delicious, edible tonka which I find similar to the original. The first time I wore this, I liked it. The second time, I like it a lot. The third time, I fell in love. I felt so sexy wearing this. It's just sweet enough to fulfill my gourmand cravings but also so feminine but with sort of a spicy edge to it- a little danger, if you will. I highly recommend it if you like the original but want more of a "summer" (sort of) version but nothing as light as some of the other flankers. I don't know why this would be a Fall scent. To me it's more "fresh" (at least upfront) than the original.

The classic is a perfect fit for winter but this Harvest edition is perfect for autumn and spring as the orange blossom brightens it and moves it to a citrusy spectrum. The jasmin in it is lighter, too, not alienish, with a bit of mandarin and thyme and much less of a lily it is a sparkler. This winter it is also great just not perfect.

Breathtakingly beautiful ! It has all the magic that the original promises but never really delivers. It lasts all day and wraps you in a dreamy cloud of deliciousness. Sensuous, feminine, luminous. I love it!

Ok>> I just wrote a review BUT, I have to write another one. I wore this to work the other night, and got to see my partner unexpectedly afterwards (normally I wouldn't wear a scent like this around him!) And he instantly said 'mmm you smell so good!' Crazy! I thought guys would prefer something younger and sweeter. You never can tell :) I also checked later in the evening again, and he said he still liked it - I thought eventually he'd start getting an overload.

Holy crap, the longest lasting perfume I have! Shame since I don't like it. I kind of love sniffing it in the bottle or the cap, but on my person it is just an overload of old lady musk. And I don't like to say that very often. If you're looking for a warm, deep musky smell - definitely get this instead of Narciso Rodriguez though!
