This fragrance also falls into the category of "female classics" I would love to smell on more of my female friends and acquaintances. Not for everyone, since, I presume, this one is targeted at a more mature audience, heavy floral, slightly aldehydic, almost leathery dry-down.

Delicate enough to wear at anytime, this I feel, will remain a classic fragrance. When I first smelt it, it reminded me of the smell plastic dolls had back in the 60's, but over time I have grown to love it. What I find is best about it is that it's a great all rounder without being overwhelming.

A guilty pleasure this one. I work in a charity store and came across it sitting on a shelf in the shop toilet. One of our volunteers wears it and I quite liked it so decided to give it a go. It ain't subtle that's for sure. The sillage could knock you off your feet at ten paces, but blow me down, I like it. I read a review elsewhere where someone describes the calming/comforting aspects of this fragrance and I had the same response to it. It makes me feel, well...nice. And further investigation reveals you can buy it for about £7 in Semi-Chem. (UK drug store) Price isn't always a reflection of quality. Case in point - many of the Cacharel fragrances.

Notes according to Fragrantica: The composition starts of casually, light and fresh, including aldehydes, bergamot, green notes, neroli and pineapple. The classical floral heart is composed of jasmine, orange blossom, rose, tuberose and ylang-ylang. Oriental base includes cinnamon notes, civet, musk, opoponax, vetiver, sandalwood and vanilla.
It's one of the first perfumes I discovered in my eary teens and smells wonderful for the price.

I also like Vanderbilt. I also noticed when I bought a bottle of Extravagance by Givency that it smelled alike to me. The notes might explain it.
Vanderbilt: Top notes: Aldehyde, bergnot oil, green notes, lavender, orange blossom, pineapple.
Middle notes: Carnation, Jasmine, orris, rose tuberrose, ylang-ylang
Base notes: Cinnamon, civet, musk, opoponax, sandal, vanilla & vetiver.
Extravagance by Givency notes are:
Top notes: Green madarin, Tagete, Pink peppercorn.
Middle notes: Jasmine, orange blossom, violet leaves
Base notes: Sandlewood, cedarwood, musk, ambrox.
Personally, I think Extravagance is more refined and I perfer it, but if you can't find it, choose Vanderbilt.

Cheap and not particularly impressive, but at the price it isn't too bad when you consider all the crap being sold as prestige fragrance. Quite presentable.
