E

A regal scent that reminded me of a bitter version of Chanel 5, minus civet, and with more citruses. Strong at first but in an hour later, really gentle, soft, long-lasting fragrance. It does give You an impression of a princess of Imperial Russia style and elegance...To me, one of the best from Sophia Grojsman.

I like this scent very much. Retro floral, noble and tender. It is combined of four white flowers: hyacinth, iris, orange blossom and jasmine. Very very feminine and light, extra radiant... E is devoted to the Russian Duchess Elena Vladimirovna Romanova.

got an email from HRH Princess Elizabeth Karageorgevic informing me upon my inquiry that the fragrance is only available in Belgrade Serbia. so sad. tried to find online. no luck but I will keep trying and keep you all posted.

"E" is Excellence! I'm ecstatic that I own this this fragrance once again! It's even lovelier the second time around. The opening with it's enticing essence of citrus notes announces the best is yet to come.The subtle whisper of lily of the valley employs an iota of sweetness that pleasantly lingers throughout. Enter the heart and enjoy an array of flowers with the definite presence of the earthy and exotic hyacinth next to the quietness of the iris. The jasmine is evenly apparent and continues on into the warm, mysterious and magical ending in the base. The life of this fragrance wears well on my skin is always pleasant and never sours. This fragrance is as engaging as her younger "sister" Jelisaveta, which is a rare find in the U.S. and in which I hope to find and own again! Not only are both fragrances rich and royal to wear, there's a story of regal splendor behind it's creator, HRH Princess Elizabeth, which makes for great conversation. The fragrances of this Princess are both successes and spell Elegance with a capital "E"! Years ago in the 90's I caught a quick glimpse of the Princess in Los Angeles, California (she was with Merv Griffin) she is simply stunning and the epitome of class! Her perfumes reflect her persona perfectly.

I got this at an auction, so I don’t know how the previous owner stored it or if the scent notes have degraded, but it’s not what I was expecting. Very citrusy, almost like a man’s cologne. It does make me feel like a “princess” from long ago. It makes me think of what perfume was like in the Renaissance. I picture myself in a velvet gown, marching through the stone castle. Not sure that was the intention, but that’s what I get from it! I’m a HUGE Sophia Grojsman fan, and although I don’t consider this scent my favorite, I give it a good rating because it took me somewhere in my mind—that’s the art of perfumery! And I will keep it on my shelf as part of my Grojsman collection ❤️
