Fabuleuse

This is in the vein of other classic green/floral aquatic/woodsy based scemts such as "O" de Lancome, Weil Eau Fraiche, Choc Eau Tonique, etc. I get a huge dollop of Hedione up front, a mouth-watering lemon such as that in Eau Sauvage. There are watery flowers such as lotus or cyclamen, and a mildly woodsy cedar base. Simple, beautiful, classic. For summer use.

I didn't expect it would smell slightly gourmand. Referring to the notes list here, i expected green grass with citrus and floral as its background with a hint of woodiness. It's not green green, only small hint of greens. It's more woody-floral that somehow create a hallucination of chocolate existence. I'm quite sure that the one i own is the vintage original one with still good quality. Something wrong with my nose? Or it's a classic matter of how people perceive and interpret scents differently. Despite of all, i do enjoy this perfume. To my nose, it's in the same vibes with Roberto Capucci Opera III.

This one was a vintage eBay auction find. This starts out as a woody/green/astringent...(sadly) It has herbal-ish undertones too. Think about a lot of the "eau Fraiche" or "eau de cologne" type scents from the past....then you'll get the idea/vibe of this. A blind buy gone WRONG....lol....but only spent $5.00 at auction....so...ok...live and learn.I get NO floral aspects...AT ALL !!! Reminds me of a toner/astringent lotion. (maybe the scent has gone off...expired...due to age...???
