Wind Song Perfume

This is my second review for this perfume, but I can't help it, I'm soooo in love with this perfume! I want to make it clear this is for the current version of this perfume; I own the vintage and current. In current, I have the perfume, body spray, and dusting powder. I fell in love with this fragrance last year when, for years, I would turn my nose in disgust; mainly I found out my great aunt Libby wore this and I wasn't about to wear the same fragrance as a GREAT Aunt. Well she certainly knew something I didn't at the time...IDK if my nose changed or matured but after a while I recognized this was a unique and lovely fragrance that no one else I knew wore; what ultimately pushed me over the edge to buy it was a found out that this was supposedly Patsy Cline's signature scent,so of course I had to get it since she's my all-time favorite female vocalist. I find that this is floral, and very fresh/clean on my skin. I especially love combining April Showers Sugar Vanilla lotion (which is $1 at Dollar Tree) with the body powder straight from the shower, and it somehow works together. My husband always compliments me, and I've received compliments from a few people with Wind Son. This scent isn't by any means sexy or seductive(well, depending on the person, I suppose...), but if you're looking for a cuddly, floral, powdery scent, a scent that sends you back to a time when ladies wore perfumes to smell lady-like, wore crinoline-petticoats, left a lot to the imagination instead of having everything hanging out, and when couples actually "courted," I would recommend this 100%!BTW I'm 27 so I have never experienced that Era that is long gone but not forgotten, but wouldn't it be fun!?

like dried flowers, dried oranges, and mostly that type of grandma musk that smells a lot like baby powder to me - but in a way that's sort of cute and inviting, lol. I found a bottle of this - the vintage crown with clear glass instead of that sort of turquoise - at an antique shop in a collection of things the owner had gotten from an estate in New York. It was only about a third of the way full, but I couldn't stop thinking about it and had to go back for it. It's not a scent i would really wear myself while still in my early 20s, lol, but as I get older I could definitely see keeping this to wear later in life. It's the kind I would've found comfort in when smelling it through a hug from my great grandma. Wind song is old but beautiful, with deep crow's feet and smile lines. She's a hugger, she's a romantic, and she has never seemed to stop smiling despite living through the ups and downs of life. She's spunky, and she never seemed to stop being a mother. She gives you warm socks when it gets chilly, and there are always flowers on the table in spring. She has found love, kept in old letters and dried bouquets, and she looks into your eyes when she tells you that you will too.

Wind Song is a beautiful floral, powdery, spicy perfume, which to me is NOT at all 'old-ladyish'. It's very lady-like perfume, which in my mind shows taste, elegance and feminine maturity of the highest order. I adore it. My husband, all my friends and acquaintances, and even children compliment me on it. I'm forever being told I smell heavenly! It's strong and lasts so well. It's gorgeous!!!

The .25oz square lipstick sized bottle of "parfum" with the blue plastic top. Surprise! For a few shekels it's a high-oil-content parfum, conveniently in a dabber bottle. 👍🏼😍 Who knows if these bottles are very old stock or just very 70s package design?

This is a review for Prince Matchabelli's Wind Song 1953 Vintage Splash Bottle Shaped Like British Crown Jewels St Edward's Crown. Ok so my grandmother, God rest her soul, owned this fragrance and loved it so much it became her signature scent. After she passed away, my mother inherited this among many other possessions. This fragrance is still on display at my parents' home in Charleston South Carolina right next to a framed portrait of my grandma Rosemary. This is her perfume. Her scent. I will write a review for the reformulation newer version later. I think of this as a very powerful royal cologne. The splash bottle was shaped like the British Crown used for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, who was crowned that same year of 1953, on June the 2nd. My grandmother used to say that while they were never clear about making this fragrance especially for that day, there was no coincidence this fragrance in the crown shaped bottle was around during that time. It's an old fashioned very strong unisex woman's cologne for formal occasions. It's a spicy floral. It opens with citruses and neroli and it's just like L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci when it starts. My mother wore L'Air a lot and it was her wedding day perfume, plus I wear L'Air now so I know how similar this perfume and L'Air can be. The same floral scents of carnation and ylang ylang and white flowers are similar to L'Air. But the flowers in Wind song turn spicier and bolder whereas L'Air flowers become soap. The scent of tarragon, coriander and additional spices plus woods create the effect that you're wearing something Oriental. It smells like a spice shop. It's not bad but definitely old lady ish and from a bygone era when women wore perfumes that would announce themselves before the woman even walked into a room. I can smell this on Queen Elizabeth II herself, but on that wedding day she would not have been wearing it. This is more a fragrance for her age today. This is way too strong for anyone under 60. I think even women in their 50's would find this a bit too much. It's a perfume that is dear to me because of my grandmother. I love the bottle and it's very hard to find. I feel lucky every time I see the bottle at my family home in Charleston. Rest in Peace Grandma. I love you.
