Strass

When woody, balsamic, and spicy are listed in the accords, I tend to like that fragrance. I also find that when I "like" a scent straight from the bottle before it dries down, it is going to be very pleasant for me to wear. The dry down is the important part, but there are usually hints in the initial spritz that I will love or hate what happens next. I tried Strass for the first time two days ago. And while I'm a believer in "living with" a fragrance for a while before passing final judgment, I really love it. It's warm, spicy, sophisticated, seamlessly blended, soft, and alluring. I love how it's woody and natural with small blossoms of yellow flowers. I'm a terrible rule breaker when it comes to "evening" or "daytime" fragrances or "summer" vs "winter." I'm definitely driven by mood and the clothing I am wearing. I tend to match fragrances to my outfits. That may seem strange. But a wool sweater outfit "smells different" to me than a floral blouse or a pair of jeans. I could wear this anytime. It feels a little dressy, womanly. I am totally intrigued to try more Soprani. I have a few on the way. I'm perplexed by how inexpensive my bottle of Strass was. How can this cost less than a "celebrity" fragrance that falls flat into a chemical department store mess?

I was gifted a large decant of this (thank you so much to the beautiful Yohji), and I'm very enamoured with this lovely perfume. It was love at first sniff for me. This is a really lovely fruity, floral chypre fragrance. I am getting shades of early autumn/fall as this is a warm, woody fragrance held together with top notes of sweet fruits, middle notes of summer flowers and the base is the sweet woody tones of fall. The quality and the style have impressed me, this is such a comforting and elegant perfume, a beautiful, vintage, classic and I will have this in my collection to treasure. I think that if you love Chypre florals, then this stunning little juice is a must to try.

So underrated floral-woody chypre, so nicely done, smooth, attractive, addictive. Constantly sniffing my arms, turning around just to create new wave of the Strass. Most prominent notes are amber, woods and mandarines, they create a sparkly, luxury feel from the first spray, everything seems to be classical and at the same time very unusual, with hint of a boozy, rum or whiskey-alike scent. It is very-longlasting and lingering. If I had to compare with anything, I would choose Sherrer 2 among all, because of deep, rich, triumphant feeling. But in Sherrer it is all about honey, and Strass is mainly about woody booze.

That sounds AMAZING Juliette!! Oh I know, Luciano Soprani has astonishing perfumes!!! Have you ever tried: - Luciano Soprani orginal vintge (11*) - 2 by Luciano Soprani (my favorite!) - Solo Rosa vintage AMAZING house!!
