Mademoiselle la Pussycat

My husband and I bought a gift pack of this fragrance for my sister-in-law. Mistake. She hated it and had the gall to return half of the gift pack back to me. I only wear very light, oceanic and white floral types of perfumes and didn't know what to do with the perfume - I thought it was going to be far too sweet. However, at first, I wore it more out of anger than real appreciation... But then I fell in love. On me it is mostly rose but not uncomplicated rose, more like older, woody roses. I only use 1 spray otherwise it is too strong so a little bottle lasts very long.

This one smelled really sweet when I first sprayed it but as it settles you can really smell the patchouli. It is light not thick and heavy like Jessica Simpson's Fancy Nights more like Britney Spears Believe patchouli. It doesn't smell as masculine as Britney's Believe. Kim Kardashian's Gold on me has a little of this smell in the middle before it has dried down completely. This one lasts a long time on me and I like the patchouli it makes it interesting without being heavy and powdery.

I bought this for my 12 year old daughter who wanted it badly. When she would spray it while I was in the room it was sooo sickly sweet, like cherries, but if I left the room and came back or got a whiff from the next room I smelled it's rich woody undertones. This is a cheep perfume no question but I do like it's woody after smell.

I loved this fragrance so much and is very sad that it's not available anymore. The notes of vanilla, rose, orange and patchouli is spot on, but i smell something else in it that i can't quite put my finger on. My stash is almost finished and then it would be goodbye forever i suppose...
