Folies de Saisons Fantaisies d'Hiver

I bought this online, and I am glad I did. I have used Caprice de Printemps which was quite green, Yvresse (orange) which was soft citrussy, this one I just loved!!! But this beautiful Ice Princess was a stranger...I love it sooo much, I am not a good reviewer like our Action or Tchiepchen but I only say this: Violets!!! I am still learning to detect notes...but violets are so prominent in this one, a bit powdery wich I like.The vanilla and woodsy notes are soft. This reminds me of a scent or product from my childhood, cant remember. I will safe this for my wintery, cocooning days, its such a cuddle-proof scent. I wish this would be still available...sigh...

This is one of the first fragrances I ever owned, and it's the only powdery fragrance I've really liked so far! I remember how perfect this was for those beautiful cold winter days. Powdery violet, as tschiepchen wrote, with woodsy notes and just a tiny hint of vanilla. It was quite fresh, guess that's where the water notes came in. Icy is indeed a good way to describe it, Action. I remember thinking of Fantaisies d'Hiver as an interesting fragrance, quite unique. A memorable fragrance for sure (11-12 years since I wore it!). This was my favorite from the original Folies de Saisons collection.

I finally have this again and I love it! Still! It's just as I remembered it except that the vanilla steps forward during the drydown and it's much more prominent than I recalled. Not loud, but you can definitely tell it's there. Lovely!

A very clean scent that really stood out among the set of four it was released with. Unique and intriguing... and mentally uplifting, somehow. Maybe the only thing that made me look forward to the holidays!

19.1.18 I have 3 little bottles of this still. Usually men praises this :) And I love this also.
