Fragrance Reviews by posy1974

This is a lovely and eminently wearable fragrance. It will appeal to fans of bright florals (like me) but also contains some great mellow, warm, romantic notes, including sandalwood. The notes of jasmine and narcissus appeal to the Southern lady in me. There are also some citrusy notes, similar to the Italian fragrances whose packaging it resembles, but I find it a lot more sophisticated and interesting than, say, Roma or 1881. Also a great summer fragrance, as the other reviewer mentioned!

An unabashedly old-fashioned combination of aldehydes and rose, as well as spicy notes such as pepper and ginger. I am a big fan of green-note fragrances like Norell, because they seem to convey a kind of grown-up sophistication (this probably has something to do with '70s nostalgia). Rose D'Amour does the same, but is softer and more complex. It's not a young girl's fragrance (those who don't like aldehydes will instantly think 'old lady'), but it's a good alternative for those looking to graduate from run-of-the-mill florals to something more mysterious but not too dark.
