Woody Breeze

This fragrance makes a statement from the first spray, with an intense and pronounced black currant opening. The top notes, a blend of black currant and fruity citrus, are bold and project strongly. This is a true "room filler," a flower bomb that demands attention. The floral notes immediately evoke the powerful floral fragrances of the 1980s. This decade was a time of excess in perfumery, with fragrances that weren't shy about their presence. Think big hair, bold makeup, and equally bold scents. These weren't subtle floral whispers; they were opulent and often overwhelming bouquets designed to leave a lasting impression. Jasmine takes center stage in this fragrance's heart, and after about 30 minutes, a sweet and gourmand base of vanilla and praline emerges. Overall, this is a fragrance for the bold, mature woman—a modern interpretation of the 80s powerhouse floral, perfect for someone who isn't afraid to make an entrance.

As an woman early 60s, I have to say I was kind of disappointed with this. I initially bought Dubai Chocolate by same house and liked a lot. Woody Breeze seems to be semi weak and linear to me. I have Jean Rish Love Nectar and this one on each arm (as I write this review)--sprayed at same time. Both smell exactly the same in the first 10 minutes so far. (edit: even hours later). I can say I like design, weight of all 3 of these bottles, but am disappointed that I don't smell more "separate notes". I'm no expert but the beginning smells citrus like ( and not blackcurrant) and stays that way for most of the fragrance. I don't get that floral. Maybe I'll check back on this in 9 mos but I think for the most part, I'll resell.
