Tracy (2006)
by Ellen Tracy

I really like the impression of this scent and I bought it blind based on the recommendation of a trusty swap partner.

Although I like it, really like it, there is something about Ellen Tracy fragrances that usually doesn't agree with me, and that usually is jasmine. Although not a listed note, I sense jasmine in this fragrance. It's not at a level that induces asthma (like Ellen Tracy original) but at a level that has me cautious about applying & wearing. The only Ellen Tracy fragrance that doesn't have me on my toes is Peony & Rose.

Those sensitive to jasmine -- or I should say, the formulas used to mimic jasmine -- be forewarned. I can tolerate Tracy occasionally, but not every day.

A luminous demure aura extreamly feminine
scent nothing sharp harsh or edgy just
a soft non obtrusive with a girlish innocence kind of a scent that is safe and
ideal for young girls for their first perfume collection.
It opens with a scent of sweet and airy
peonies delicate sweetness of each pink
petal dries fresh with a green note of
cassia adds to the freshness then in a
minute or so turns fruity with the succulent note of plum blossom and i also can detect juicy ripe peach mingling with the deeper and more juicer
plum dries the top note.

Rose opens the middle notes but it's
faint and diluted then iris with it's powdery texture steeps slowly though
the middle note then delicate note of
purple violet finishes the middle note.

The drydown opens with an milky accord
that is a bit cloying to my senses amber
with a warm coziness begins to makes it's presence then it finishes with
dry sandalwood and vanilla to end this
femininity.

Ubu, when an opportunity to buy a bottle presented itself, I checked the reviews and found yours. I trust your judgement so I went ahead with the purchase. Like you, I am pleasantly surprised. I keep sniffing my arm becuase I love the creaminess of this scent. I pick up vanilla and almond but a very subtle floral that reminds of gardenia. It is indeed an excellent scent for the summer. Very wearable.

This fragrance is a real sleeper! I'm very suprised at how pleasing this unique blend smells! Some listed notes are: vanilla, cassis, rose, almond milk, peony, amber, plum, muguet, iris & sandalwood. Although I can pick out each yummy note, the almond milk note is to die for - creamy, like sweet butter. This is a wonderful balance of tart, sweet, powder, spice, wood, green, well...a real symphony. Finally, a fresh floral that is different and wearable! Don't let this gem pass you by. Appropriate for summer day-into-night wear. My only complaint is the bottle, rectangular and chunky, not delicate, detailed or pretty enough to reflect the superb contents!
