Indian Summer Red

My first parfume. I love Red one. I want it again :(

Indian Summer Red was a sweet summer scent, very sweet actually, it smelled of ripe, red berries, a bit like rose. The sweetness is a bit similar to Ultrared but without the anise and marshmallow. It smelled a little sugary but still clean and innocent. It was not powdery at all, rather a bit watery and definitely fit for summer. The drydown was similar to the original Indian Summer, but not the same. In general, the flankers were NOT inferior to the original, they were siblings or cousins but not inferior. I bought 3 bottles of Indian Summer Red back then and I finished them all in one summer. Back then, I had no idea that these fragrances would not be around forever. I really miss them, they were just GORGEOUS!

So I'm back with my review. Tschiepchen is right, Indian Summer and Indian Summer Red are cousins, not siblings. What they have in common, is a little nostalgic note. Chocolate is very recognisable, also vanilla and a hint of amber. Actually I don't see the fragrance as "Red", more like brown - not dark, not light, brown with a dark red mixed together. Indian Summer Red is suitable for all seasons and times of the day. It's a sweet gourmand-oriental fragrance, but the gourmand note isn't all in all edible. Actually I think I prefer classical Indian Summer. Indian Summer line and all Priscilla's fragrances cost much nowadays... but the nose who invented them is a really good one :)

I've ordered a bottle of Indian Summer Red and be sure I'll write about the fragrance :) I already have Indian Summer and it's so beautiful, and notes of I. S. Red seem so pretty :)

19. june 2020 I have this fragrance and all other Priscilla Presley fragrances for years and years, back in the day they were sold in supermarkets and didnt cost much but now they are soooooo expensive. My still most favorite of them all is "Moments", it is just my type of scent. I have the weird relationship with other of her fragrances. Indian Summer original has never grown on me, BLue and green as well, but the Red one... Hunney.. this one is soooooo good. YUM! Its not indian summer yet, but Midsummer up here north, but im wearing it in a heat and let me tell you this is delicious! I do smell a lot of tonka beans in the opening and these are super dominant, after few hours the tonka beans is fading away and chocolate note is coming through. Not much of vanilla or amber, but the 2 most dominant notes are tonka beans and chocolate. It has a vibe of original Indian summer in the very drydown, but still warmer then the original. But what also amazes me is that it is very close to Jil Sander ́s "Jil" original from the 90 ́s (in round bottle with round white lid). I had a strange desire to wear Jil lately and as i am running out of it i was going through my collection of fragrances in hope of finding something similar to wear before my new bottles of Jil will arrive and Bingo! this is the twin. This HAS that amazing drydown of Jil that i am crazy about without the Jil ́s opening! SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD... But this one is really hard to get so when i will run out of my Red bottles i will stick to Jil, since it is still more affordable yet quite expensive but also easier to find. Sillage is quite good and lasting power is around 5 hours, so i am not very dissapointed.
