Valentin Yudashkin

I recently purchased this perfume from a second hand shop yesterday for $5, a original with the box, I didn't know that it was an expensive perfume, I love perfume so I brought it to try it out. I must say it has a fresh smell. And I haven't smelled anything like it before, it reminded me of YSL Yvresse. I had no problem with this perfume. I usually get a bad rash from certain perfumes but I found this very high quality it's not overpowering and it goes a long way

I receive tonnes of compliments with this one. It is gorgeous! Nothing celebrates spring like this fragrance. Apricot, passionfruit, jasmine, vanilla, musk, patchouli and the lasting power is tremendous. It's a high quality, sophisticated, unusual scent. If you smell closely, you'll notice many of these notes. They all come together perfectly to embody this fragrance. If you can find it, buy it. You don't see it around very much which is a damn shame. We need to have more Russian fragrances released in the west. If you love jasmine and vanilla, this one is for you!!

This is a beautiful Floral-Fruity Oriental, with a distinct 90s vibe. The fruit is dominant, but well-tempered by the strong floral heart and sumptuous Vanilla/Musk base. I was greeted first by the juiciest nectarine, bolstered bya bed of classic and spicy (Marigold) flowers. Instead of citrus, levity and sharpness is created with the Cassis. The heart is very well-blended, giving the impression of one imaginary symphonic floral note. I do find Rose here, despite it not being in the official notes, but the Marigold is the most potent floral note. Any LOV is obscured by all the heavier notes.The Iris seems to be the floral variety, not the root (Orris). The Base is as in the notes: warm, earthy, and slightly animalic. Lasting power on this one is at least a day, seriously! For Peach, compare to Nino Cerruti 1881 for women, Elizabeth Taylor's Diamonds & Rubies, Dilys by Laura Ashley, and Champagne by YSL. For Cassis comparison, see Tiffany classic in the columnar bottle. The heart bears similarity to the original D & G Red. Although much fruitier, wearers of the old D & G would appreciate this. *My vintage new bottle had no evaporation or viscosity when I opened it.
