Anglomania (2004)
by Vivienne Westwood

This scent is all about violet to me. Violet seems to always dominate on my skin. But as Im not a big fan of violet dominated perfumes this one is blended so well that the violet has character and warmth. Its sweet, warm and floral. I dont get too much leather in this, although I can detect it. What I do get is a mildly spicy violet with an oriental vanillic base. This scent does not overpower on me and lies close to my skin. I like that its unique. I cant say Ive smelled anything like it before.

Its a good fall, winter perfume that would be a great choice on a date for romance and possibly seduction.

The bottle is gorgeous. Its as if someone took a Hermes bottle, sexed her up and gave her a new hat.
Second, Anglomania is romantic first and sexy second. The spice is exotic enough to pull the rose away from the humdrum. The leather, which is the best part, adds the sexy. This is a kind of smell Tori Amos would have worn back in the Boys for Pele days.
Oh and guys can wear this too. Its like a Burberry Brit with a touch more rose
Edited to add: I can no longer wear this except in small spritzes. There is one note that overpowers all others. I can't put my nose on it, but it may be the rose.

I bought this online on the basis that it's formulated with all my favourite scents - nutmeg, vanilla, rose otto, violet and cardamon. I wish I hadn't have bothered as I really disliked it. It smelt cheap, chemical-like, had really low staying power on me, and reminded me of old lady soap. A real let-down!

Bought this untested (it's not easy to get a hold of) as I like the other Vivienne Westwood fragrances.
I kept sniffing myself all day, since I felt there was something quite familiar in this perfume and it's literally taken me all day to work out what it is.
Is it just my imagination, or does this smell vaguely like the long lost Venezia by Laura Biagiotti?
I'm not enough of a nose to be able to put this down to a specific note, but there is something....warm , leathery and sharp?
Anyway - I'm in love.
