Dilys

Got a mini to try that seems to be in pristine condition. No funky vintage top notes here. Like gtabasso, I also smell tuberose on opening with a little sweetness. It reminded me of other scents like Jean Paul Gaultier Fragile, Ozbek, Van Cleef, etc. There are plenty of others out there in the heavy sweet fruity floral genre which I happen to like. Personally, while I think this is nice and probably the best Laura Ashley scent I've smelled to date, I don't think it is outstanding enough for the prices being asked for a fb, especially when there are plenty of minis still available. So, I'll content myself with minis in the future using it now and then when the mood strikes.

There is a huge Peach juice playing all the way, from head to toes. First time it was launched I purchased it and wore it to school, and I didn't find it since then. Now I found it, I shed tears literally the moment I smelled it. 1992 was heavy in all aspects. School was difficult and I didn't pass som exams, we moved to a new house in a new city. Now all that came in a fraction of a second, my emotions couldn't bear this huge load. But to be honest, the smell is adorable in an indescribable way ;if it is sexy, then it is a Tantric kind of sex, if it is innocent, then it is a liquified Angel in a bottle. Proud to find 3 bottles of 30ml each and 1 bottle of 100ml

I bought this mini on a whim. Dilys is just heavenly. Overpowering by today's standards but I love fragrances like this. Old school over ripe boozy peach and plum, spiced w/ coriander. Heady white and yellow florals from a hot house are overwhelming, fully bloomed and just pouring out their scent in the heat. This has a beautiful floral, musky dry down. If you don't like overpowering florals in the same vein as Elizabeth Arden's Red Door then stay clear of this but if you love old school perfumes get a mini, of this they are cheap, and you won't be disappointed.

A beautiful classic fragrance, smooth and classy. I get the peach and rose straight up. The other notes join in and Dilys projects a classic, soapy and sophisticated vintage lipstick vibe. Lovely scent, glad I found it by chance as I believe it's been discontinued for years. The stopper bottle is stylish but is impractical for travel, so I'll be keeping it safe on a shelf at home. My bottle, which I opened fresh in its original packaging, shows signs of evaporation and the juice is quite a deep golden colour, but the smell is still wonderful.

One of the most exceptional perfumes I have ever tried. The peach, rose and plum stand out most. The dry down is perfect with musk and sandalwood standing out most on my skin with touch of peach. I bet there is lot more to smell but this is such a well blended perfume that nothing actually sticks out but aids each other in perfect harmony. The top notes last well upto half an hour or so and perfume itself last for 6 hours. And all you need is drop of this vintage beauty to be surrounded in most natural smelling perfume heaven.
