Max Mara (2004)
by Max Mara

This is a über-sweetened version of "Bois Farine" by L'Artisan. Both perfumes are "Floral Woody Musk's". But this sugared "Max Mara" has a nicer price-tag to it. You simply must try this! A lot of perfume for the money! One of my signature-fragrances - love love love !!!

One of the most 'edible' fragrances I have ever encountered! An uncanny redintion of a lemon custard tart - initially charming, it is delicious and wearable for a while - but the sweetness gradually becomes a lemon icing that sets the teeth on edge.

This dries done to a very nice kind of sweet magnolia on me. I feel sophisticated yet warm and approachable when i wear this. This is a perfect summer fragrance. I must agree with Parisa, definitely not one for the 'mom run'.

love this since just discovering it. i was delighted at first spray. this drys down to a creamy cinnamon custard on me. it is not overpowering it but does linger for those closeups with your special someone. my husband adores this fragrance on me.

Reminds me of an apple cinnamon dumpling at first. Fades to something less foody and more subtle/"sophisticated" as it wears. The subtlety lasts until you take a shower or do your laundry.

I tried it once and I found it quite fruity and fresh and for a change, unlike other fragrances, it did not lose its original notes after it dried out. Usually any other one would've completely changed its scent in contact with my skin, but Max Mara didn't.
"Presence d'une femme" almost did the same thing (for 1 or 2 hours), after that it changed into something less pleasant. So, if you like the smell of black berries (that's how I perceived it) it's really great.
