Song In D Minor

This is probably my favorite out of the whole line. This is a heavy type floral scent, very sweet and on the strong side - much as I love it, I can see a definite headache factor here if it's over-applied. On the other hand my migraine-prone, iffy-on-perfume-of-any-kind fiance actually likes it. What I really like about it is the warmth and fullness the amber lends to the floral notes. At first spritz it's very sweet and flowery. I find the gardenia note comes through the most. I'm a gardenia lover... if you aren't, you should probably skip this one. But there's still a depth there from the amber that separates it from the girly-sparkly-fruit-or-musk floral scents I've seen a lot of. With a little bit of time it progresses away from the dizzying flowers somewhat and the amber is more pronounced, making for a still sweet, but richer and more grounded scent. That's the stage where I really love it. And it'll be nice for the transition between summer and fall, as I think it's okay for either.

I've had this for years and just recently it has become one of my very favorites. It smells so good to me that I literally want to nibble my skin: would that it had that affect on my hubby! I'm not a gardenia fan unless it is tempered with other notes as it can be such a dominating factor, but after the first 10 minutes it becomes almost coy. The white orchid and orange flower seem to rise and fall as this matures on my skin, and the amber comes to the fore as the base note when the florals have muted. Spraying Song in D Minor on just before bed makes me very relaxed and like music, distracts my mind from my chronic pain and lulls me to sleep; often with my wrist held to my nose.

I rather love this (I have a thing for white florals I guess) but it can verge on being too heavy for me because of the musky amber element. Almost didn't buy it, had to wear some on my wrist to see if it was too strong (overly strong scents give me headaches and stomach aches, so if you have strong reactions to scents I'd recommend doing the same with this just in case) but it passed the test because it dries down to a lovely soft scent and isn't overpowering as long as I don't use a lot. It'd be absolutely perfect for me if it was a little lighter.

10 years ago I took a vacation to Amsterdam. I bought some shampoo while I was there that I brought home and treasured every last drop of while it lasted because it smelled AMAZING! I even had friends bring me back another bottle of it when they went there :) This smells exactly like that shampoo! YAY!!! It is a heavy floral, but in an intoxicating kind of way. I think it is just gorgeous. I quite literally would love to bathe in the stuff :D

I don't usually like florals, but I'm madly in love with this one. The first time I smelled it, I thought it smelled like lilacs....I'm not sure why. I love it though. Soooo much. The moment I smelled it, it instantly became one of my favorites. It was love at first sniff.... I think it's pretty unique, and the fact that it changed my mind about florals really impressed me, so I love this perfume dearly.
