Patou For Ever by Jean Patou

I've seen this being described as "Joy with raspberry" and although I've never smelled Joy, there's definitely raspberry. The flacon gives off a scent of raspberry when I pick it up. The opening is not unlike being hit with a bowl of fruit salad over your head. Very strong, almost cloying scent. The drydown is more pleasant, but I can't suffer through all the sweet fruit to wait to get to it.

Eau du Ciel by Annick Goutal

this is a somewhat strange scent -- the best I can describe it is a sweet herbaceous floral. Seems rather simple, "innocent" (i.e. unsophisticated). I feel like I'm 12 when I wear it. Thumbs down for me.

Kelly Calèche by Hermès

I agree with the description of "fizzy leather", but for me it comes across as shrill and sweet at the same time. There is a twist to it that is unpleasant to me. Try before buying!

So de la Renta by Oscar de la Renta

It a very generic (of a 'generic department store scent' kind) -- I wore it for a few years soon after it came out, and I can't even remember what it smelled like. It's definitely not offensive, but rather forgettable.
