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.

l have this in the vintage perfume version, and I'm going to try my best to describe this. The notes are very well blended in this, but when I first apply it, I get mostly fizzy, old school citrusy top notes. It doesn't mention aldehydes in the notes, but that's the vibe I get (I have a vintage bottle, and I think it's the citruses being a little "off" with time, and not actual aldehydes). Once that fades, you get this old school/ vintage (but not dated), soapy, with a hint of spice kind of a smell. This scent is very era- specific for me too. I know the scent came out earlier, but I must have had many school teachers, and most likely knew other women who wore this in the late 70s, because it reminds me of my teachers in Elementary school when I first started. Late 70s, that was before the surge of powerhouses that came out in the 80s and later, so the scent choices weren't that varied yet, a fraction of what they are now. So if you were around in the time period, chances are, you knew many women who smelled like this, and for me it smells like that specific era, before all of those other perfumes came out. It smells like 1970s Elementary school teachers, stay at home moms who made peanut butter & fluff sandwiches when their kids friends came over, and random nice ladies at the grocery store. Such a clean, pretty scent. I don't find it to be all that floral, I have a hard time detecting specific floral notes actually, (besides maybe the carnation?), and the base notes give it some depth. Truly lady-like and pretty, I love this one.

My best friend mom wore this perfume religiously back in the 70s. It was her signature and I will always remember it as hers. I bought a vintage small oil dabber of this and I also bought some dusting powder. Many people have said the new cologne version is still very similar to the vintage so I may pick that up since it cost nothing. I remember this as a comforting fragrance of carnations and woods and dried herbs. The tarragon is very strong here which is lovely since my best friends mom was a chef before she married and had children. I remember the gourmet meals at their home and it doesn't surprise me that she loved this perfume so because of the strong tarragon, coriander and, cloves that is a major part of its bouquet. But does it smell like a spice rake? No, it is a woody floral, quite complex. Dried herbs and spices with rosewood, cedar, sandalwood and grassy vetiver blending into a large bouquet of carnations sweetened by ylang made powdery by orris and kept bright by citruses. Soapy? Yes, but most 70s perfumes were. We liked to smell clean, and elegant not like candy, cake or a cappuccino back then.

I wear this in autumn - although it is good in any time of year. I remember how we wore it in high school and looked like elegant young ladies wafting down the hall. We were not wallflowers;we had all the dates. It is well blended, good silage, and all around timeless Classic. Long may it live! I missed the Xmas specials on this as celebrity frags dominate right now, but I am sure when the novelty wears off with that, this amazing cologne will be back center stage.

It may be an ‘older lady’ classic perfume, but I’ve always liked how it performed ( still has good power and doesn’t take much for great effect ), and I’m quite fond of it, from the Asian inspired packaging to the spicy carnation, powdery effect, and synthetic-ness. It seems very multi-purpose and inoffensive. I had the charmingly elegant, tiny crown bottle perfume mini. I like older ladies who collect those minis!

This was my very first perfume as a teeny bopper :) I absolutely loved it and loved the lovely crown bottle. A woman passed by me the other day and was wearing it, oh how it brought memories. I don't think I could wear it now, but back then, it was heaven.

Greetings 🤗 This perfume is complex and has a great history behind it. It's classic perfumery in all its glory along with other classics....it is absolutely stunning 💓
