Tanglewood Bouquet

An underrated gem! Although a previous reviewer's comparison to L'Heure Bleu initially prompted my purchase, I have nothing but good things to say about this somewhat misleading comparison. No, my nose gets little or nothing of a L'Heure Bleu vibe, but who am I to make pronouncements? I'm just delighted to have discovered this wearable and utterly old fashioned scent. :D The opening moments are a bit sharp and geranium like to my nose, then rapidly evolve into a perfect blend of resins, mild sweetness, and ancient spices. At no time is this an overwhelming or loud fragrance, rather an office appropriate scent with all the kudos of past joys and forgotten pleasures. Aside from the sharper floral opening, I find it to be unisex, provided you are one of those men or women who enjoy resinous sweetness and yellow florals. I expect true powder haters will need to avoid Tanglewood Bouquet ( thanks to my ever-favorite Heliotrope! ), but this accord is mild enough that a true powder FIEND like myself is not likely to think of powder on application. It's all about the Resin, friends! Rating - Sillage 2/5 Longevity 3/5 Quality 5/5!!!

Heartbreaking but this scent, along with all the classic Crown Perfumery perfumes, is being discontinued. Definitely a spicy rich floral but on my skin this is less Kenzo Elephant than L'Heure Bleue extremely amped up. Heliotrope, nutmeg and cinnamon are where this starts and after about half an hour the resins come up and it takes on a soft powdery note. Ideal for cold weather and interesting when layered with a soft leather scent. Well worth trying before it disappears. Sillage: 2-3 feet, a bit public Longevity: good, 4-5 hours Fabulosity: Paris, just before the buds open Value to price ratio: excellent 8/10

I LOVE how it smells on my skin after it has settle down. It's warm, gently spicy, very feminine and filled with emotions. I just imagine myself walking by the shoreland of an exotic beach one summer afternoon. I smelk a very delicate vanilla among white flowers and something spicy that blends all in an unforgettable way. To me this is a scent that stays in the memory. Greta Garbo used it and she was right, its a precious scent.

Tanglewood Bouquet with each spray, is intense, almost overpowering. Within a few minutes, it settles WAY down to a warm, very spicy yellow floral close-to-skin scent. Spices are stronger than the florals, but ylang-ylang remains heady, lasting throughout the drydown. Vanilla and soft white musk play minor supporting roles for the florals and spices. Tanglewood Bouquet is softly sweet, super spicy, and not at all powdery.

This perfume is spicy ylang-ylang that has an exotic feel to it. The spice smell comes from the nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and resins. It's a warm, sweet and sensual floral. Very nice and a recommend for everyone who can handle a heavier fragrance. I wouldn't wear this on a hot, sunny, summery day but it's well suited for a cooler spring or winter day. Wearing this perfume brightens my day.
