Stone For Her

ohhhh MY GOD, this is a scrumptious, moist, chewy bitter almond cookie...😋 'Stone for her' reminds me of historical Turkish sweet shops...long glass jars with copper lids of freshly made vivid candies...scents of rose🌹 water, orchids, vanilla, warm bitter almond cookies fresh out of the oven...this fragrance is just asking for a fresh cup of Turkish coffee☕ on the side... Invokes something nostalgic... The scent opens with a delicious orange🍊/mandarin/bitter marzipan combo that reminds me so much of Dior Poison Girl's opening. Then it slowly transitions into orchid, vanilla, cashmere wood, tonka, sandalwood...all the delectable notes that I love... They are harmonious in this fragrance. On my skin I don't get any funky smells that other reviewers have commented...instead a vanillary, moist bitter almond cookie. This I DARE SAY is ALMOST GOURMAND🧁. Silage and longevity are on par with Aquolina's Pink Sugar. VERY STRONG for eau de toilette and performs better than most eau de parfums I've used/tried. Overall I'm so glad I blind bought this, I've been looking for an irresistible bitter almond perfume because the Poison Girls don't really cut it for me in that department. CRIMINALLY underrated! This is just quality blended fragrance PERFECT for any environment during winter⛄ to early spring🌷

I like this one! Ordered it for very cheap (about 10 USD for a 50 ml bottle), and I think it is very pleasant comfort scent. Still I would not say it is a safe blind buy because of the artemisia. That note makes it smell like caugh syrup a bit in the first hour. I love that smell but I know some does not. It reminds me of manifesto (I don't have it I tried it in a perfumery, so it is just first impression) also the creamy warm vanilla in Christina Aguilera by Night. I would not say they are identical, so I keep both of them. I think it is very likeable, I love the dry down too. ANd actually I love the bottle! One of my favourite color is that dark purple which is the color of the bottle, and kind of reminds me of a beautiful amethyst. I keep it on my shelves because it has a calming effect on me. :D Now I think I could wear it in any season and day and night (I am a big fan of sweet milky vanilla scents), but will see.. :)

I bought a 30 ml of this over two years ago, maybe even three. It was a blind buy, with hopes that it would be a dupe for Manifesto l'Elixir. At first, I thought it was a failed purchase. I could hardly detect any vanilla or gourmand notes it was supposed to have. Instead, I smelled something green—probably a mix of artemisia and citruses. Disappointed, I put it back in the box, tucked it away in a dark closet, and forgot about it. A few weeks ago, while sorting through items to give away or sell, I came across it again. Just to be sure, I decided to test it one more time—and wow, it smells amazing now! The vanilla is more prominent, and the scent has softened. I can't pinpoint any specific notes, but the fragrance is very pretty. It’s sweet and ambery. There’s still a hint of something green and slightly citrusy, but now it’s more in the background. Too bad it's discontinued now.

It is so much fun to discover another very big like/love from my own collection lol. I bought this a few years ago and back then I didn't know manifesto by ysl yet. Today I sprayed just one spray of this delicous juice at the side of my neck, and me and others could smell it for several hours. It is indeed very similar to manifesto. And as I like that one a lot, I also like this one very much. If my bottles of this and manifesto will ever finish, this will be my choice for repurchase because of it's great price. I recommend this to everyone who likes sweet scents. My nose is not refined to pick out notes unfortunately, so I can't give any information about that, but I do know that I like it very much and that it gives me joy every time I catch a whiff of it.

I was worried this was going to be too sweet from the reviews, bought it on ebay for a crazy deal and I'm super impressed. This smells SO MUCH more expensive than what it's actually worth! It actually reminds me of a perfume I used to wear as a teen - almond and coconut EDT by Laura Mercier but more grown up and sexy. It's sweet, nutty and creamy but in a sensual, expensive way. Also very versitile, I can see myself wearing this in any season day or night. Highly recommend, even for a blind buy.
