Within

I was given a half bottle by a friend who purchased it at full retail most likely through Nordstrom's about 15+ years ago, and I absolutely fell in love with its strong lilac/heliotrope scent. It makes for a wonderful singular floral accord that in my personal opinion is phenomenally photorealistic and beautiful. Much in the same way Fredric Malle design their strong singular scents. I cannot find this anywhere online to restock so I bought En Passant as a replacement. WITHIN is more complex, richer in depth and lasts longer. Both are very similar to each other. 8.5/10 Singular but rich with scent, would buy again.

As a fragrance addict, I occasionally blind buy. At first wear, this was just okay. I once heard someone describe a scent as smelling like "perfume" meaning there was nothing remarkable or discernable to recommend it - it just smelled like the fragrance department at the mall. That's how I would have described this one initially. But after a number of tries, I realized I really don't like this scent. It smells to me like grapes mixed with feet. I took it to an event with a few women I know and offered it to whomever wanted it. Most didn't like it either - one woman did take it eventually but I don't know if she is wearing it or not. Many felt it was an "old lady" scent although I never really know what that means. I didn't think it smelled old lady, but I think smelling like fruit and feet is much worse so... All in all, not good.
