Fragrance Reviews by Stephanotis

I, too, am saddened if this is considered one of the "new chypres".
On me this was a hodge-podge of mis-matched notes.
The fruit/top notes were sour and they shrieked their way up my nostrils to create quite the headache.
They also lasted more than the usual ten - to - twenty minutes. Several hours of the interchanging bitter fruit...and then something musty, dusty, and dirty creeped out.
Sadly, I didn't get to sample this before owning it. It was a gift.

This is raspberries simmered with spicy pepper to make a thick, slightly sweet sauce, which is drizzled over an iced magnolia blossom, with the heat of the sauce bringing out the slightly lemon-y smell of the flower.
Delicious, but not in an overtly gourmand way.
Love it. Loved it from first sniff -- and it gets better and better each time I wear it.
