V.O. Version Originale

There are actually two EDT versions of this fragrance. They both come in a black plastic casing but one has polished black metal trim and the other has gold trim. It has been noted that the gold version has a slightly darker coloration and is a little "deeper", but supposedly not a significant difference. There is also an EDP version, which is rather uncommon, but essentially just a slightly more concentrated version of the EDT. Save your $$ and go for the EDT. This is a rather green, musky woody/floral. While vintage Estee Lauder Metropolis is similar, also touching on a rich earthy kind of accord, VO is more potent and floral. It's dark enough to almost impart a mossy character, yet there is no moss in this. There is also a semi-sweet side to it as well, that helps brighten it a bit. Very good sillage and longevity. I have samples of Halston Z-14 and 1-12, but find little in common. Maybe their vintage versions are closer? The flacon is housed inside a double inverted trapezoidal shaped plastic casing that one might mistaken for a miniature garbage container. Very odd. One could purchase just the flacon as a "recharger" to swap into the casing. There always seems to be some of this fragrance up for sale on that auction site, with prices mostly in the $99~$200 range (50ml to 100ml). If you wait long enough some bottles can be had for a little cheaper.

If the nights had a perfume , it would be this one . Brilliant , dark and mysterious : the spicy notes of geranium, lavender and carnation combinate with the floral ones of jasmine on a sparkling cedar note at the base with a musk a little dirty ,giving it another punch . Really sensual and a complicated one with all its glittering facets, i always feel dizzy smelling it remembering all the good times , wearing it Typical of the glamourous 80ies , it's the swansong of those years ...

Oh lord !! Amazing exquisite natural woody smell, good that not too much talk about it so I can back up while it is still cheap 😁😁

Thank you for finally adding this great 80's fragrance!

A great scent from the 80's. It start off quite strong. Give it about an hour to settle down. Then it is simply such a great concoction of notes. Quite strong for an Edt. The drydown turns into a scent similar to Lattafa Khamrah. At least on my skin. This is one of those Lost Scents. There is an Angry Lavender here.
