Pani Walewska Chic

Mine is also called Ruby and it smells just like the original release of Miss Dior Cherie. A bit flatter and maybe not as projecting but near identical. Rose and jasmine with sweet strawberry like fruit on the top, softened by musk and amber. Joyous and ultra-feminine. Adorable scent. It is so cheap yet it projects up to my chin and lasts all day.

The opening is light oriental, and after a few minutes there is less of that and a new scent of lemony citrus and vanilla arrives with a hint of amber behind it. It's a cold autumn day here in England, so it's nice in that context. Could be unisex.

My bottle reads "ruby." In my nose it smells of sweet, slightly lemon and ripe plum. Tasty.

Absolutely awful, got me gagging. Maybe just didn’t work on my skin.

I blind bought this one, which was a mistake. Reading the notes, I fully expected this fragrance to smell much fresher than it does. Instead, to me, this smells musty and stale and old (not old as in 'old lady' type of fragrance - I personally don't like to categorize fragrances into 'young' and 'old', it's not my thing - but old as in this fragrance has been stored forever in not so optimal conditions). I know that I didn't get a bad bottle, I bought this new and I have smelled other bottles and they all smell this way to my nose. I can't smell any citrus whatsoever except for bergamott. I can also smell the rose, jasmine and amber, and I really like all those notes, but they just don't work for me in this fragrance. It also gives me a headache, which fragrances very rarely do. So no, I don't like this one. I will gift it to someone that will appreciate it more.
