Freesia

A nice light floral fragrance. Nothing earth shattering or original, but very nice to spritz on after a shower and to bring a little Spring into your life as we transition from Winter. Unfortunately, Bendel's is gone, so I suppose E-bay may be the only place to find it if interested. I got it as they were closing their doors for good, and I am glad to have it. Plus, I purchased the refilled purse spray with 4 replacement vials plus one in an adorable brown and white stripe container, which was Bendel's signature.

This was the first 'fancy' perfume I ever purchased, and it is still close to my heart. I purchased it with my mother when she was buying a Bendel purse. Little did I know that the entire brand was closing in a month's time. I find it to be a very intense scent. If you want to seem professional and collected, wear this! For my tastes, it is something I would wear in the evening, but I can definitely see someone older than myself rocking this midday. I do not wear it often, but I feel fantastic when I do wear it.

Found a sample in the depths of my stash and tested this today. It's a pretty generic, fresh, lightly floral fragrance that sits close to the skin with minimal projection and sillage. There is this underlying clean, soapiness to it that makes it a bit sharp. From my understanding, this is not easy to find since Bendel's went belly-up. I wouldn't go out of my way to find it because there is nothing special about it.
