Sonia Rykiel

I Am going to write most bizzare review ever probably, but I got such a big smile when I received this cute bottle, so forgive my sentiments. Its my chidlhood Christmas memories - all in one. I know what notes are, theoretically I should write that I smell pineapple, patchouli and so on! But practically I dont smell them! What do I smell is my Grandfather 25 years ago brought most beautiful green-tree from the forest, and I admired that beauty's resinous frosty scent that much, that while adults were sorting toys to hang,I was thoughfully chewing pine needles...Why I decided to taste it I have no idea but since then Christmas smell to me is smell of chewed needles from green-tree and dried skin from mandarins. Also hand-made caramel, wrapped in paper and hanged on green-tree, so you can secretely come and eat it from time to time, leaving emptied paper-shell to create an impression its a whole sweetie. Happy times, happy scent, sweet, balsamic and childlish in a best possible way.

This stuff is lethal and I mean that in a good way. FABULOUS beyond words..at first I was not a big fan of this but after wearing it a few times, I have become a full blown addict. This stuff takes so many turns on your skin it is insane. And the lasting power is unparalleled! I got 12+ hours out of this and it smelled even more delicious after all that time had passed! I am having a really hard time finding this out there so I am assuming it must be discontinued??? If anyone knows where to buy this other than on eBay, please pm me I would be forever grateful!

It gets me down on my knees for the first hour. After that time, it starts smelling somehow masculine and soapy. The opening is really sexy, actually reminds me a lot of Carolina Herrera Sexy 212. It is actually the first perfume in my life I did love as far as opening was concerned and after an hour suddenly disliked it. Not really worth trying, nothing spectacular, but most importantly, after an hour there is absolutely nothing feminine about it. Worth having if you like masculine fragrances though :-)

Rich, sweet, fruity and oriental, with excellent sillage and lasting power. A perfect oriental for floral-fruity lovers, and a perfect floral-fruity for oriental lovers. I'm not usually one for pineapple, but somehow SR has presented pineapple in all its glory here, capitalizing on its natural joyfulness. Though caramel isn't listed here in the notes, I can't imagine anything delivering a more satisfying caramel fix than this one.

G1 My Little Ponies sprayed with original Lolita Lempicka and sprinkled with cinnamonny fruit powder - not pineapple in particular, but yellow fruits for sure. As someone mentioned, the liquid seems to hold up so well over time! I found a vintage bottle and it still smells so intentional and fresh, almost contemporary as in Universal Flowering or something. So unusual, love!
