Leiber

Eureka! I finally found a pineapple perfume that is amazing on me. I absolutely love the scent of pineapple after having a lotion from Bath & Body Works about 15 years ago that was a creamy pineapple scent. They discontinued it (of course), and I have been trying to get my pineapple fix ever since. That is a long time to wait! At last, here it is. I would describe this as a floral-woody-musk with a strong top note of pineapple that lasts for a long, long time. I get the beautiful gardenia in the heart, the strongest floral on my skin, and certainly a woody and musky base. I like the fact that this smells very classy, not tropical necessarily, although I suppose with its excellent sillage and lasting power, it could do well in tropical weather.

I just love this perfume. I had never even heard of it, but a non-perfumista had listed a 20/30 ml bottle for sale at an insanely low price, so I jumped on this site to check the reviews and snapped that baby up. Best decision i've made in a long time. Leiber is interesting and warm and has personality and is not as fruity as some reviews made me fear. I feel like it was made for me. Something about it just makes me feel comfortable and that I just smell beautiful. I don't have the patience for difficult perfumes and this one is probably the easiest one I have found to wear and love. It's hard to find and expensive so I really don't expect to come across this perfume again, but it's one I wear often with confidence and pride.

I first got a whiff of this perfume in 06/07 perhaps, I was a teenager, not yet inducted into the world of designer fragrances, and I was sniffing all the holiday perfume flyers for fun. The leiber was my first intense perfume bond! But man, it was hard to find even then. (it culminated in a NYC treasure hunt). The scent is really unique, and becomes even better mixed with my personal body chemistry. I get compliments on the fragrance almost everyday. I am disheartened Eau de Lieberman is discontinued, especially given how I had to do black market sell my organs to even get my hands on one when it was still current, what do I have to do now? Sell my first born? Sell my house and be homeless to afford any fledglings?

This sparkling fragrance reminds me of Avon's Crystal Aura- and is one of the few rose-dominant fragrances that I like- bergamot and pimento add nice counter-points that keep it from being limpid or frou-frou- Thanks, onaona, for adding this to my free give-away gift! addendum: This fragrance has incredible potency and staying power! Today, the mimosa and fruity notes are competing with the roses, and it is reminding me of Miller Harris' Coeur de Fleur- I'm getting less sparkle and more warmth-

Perfectly balanced, a "real lady" fragrance. Somewhat reminiscent of Scherrer, had long ago, not by fragrant note; same vibe, so sophisticated and loud with great longevity... feels more floral-fruity on my skin at first, but in dry-down turns to heavy oriental-floral. I'm not that much into florals, but love this one. Wish I could have a full bottle. A must try for all Classic fans, has that powerful touch of the 80s.
