Fragrance Reviews by booklover76

I received this as a free sample when it first came out- very powdery and floral at first but dried down to a sour scent on my skin. The fact that the only compliment I got on wearing Truly Lace was by an older woman (I was 18 at the time) lead me to believe that not all scents are ageless.

L'Effleur is well-suited to all age groups and seasons. This was one of my first perfumes and holds special memories for me. Very clean and floral without being overwhelming or offensive- not one particular flower note stands out- just a lovely bouquet! It is the one and only fragrance by Coty that I adore- even though Basenotes' information states this is still in production- every other site I have consulted claims this one is discontinued- so I will horde the 3 mini parfums I bought on ebay.

Bandit is an attention-getter. I happened to discover it by accident and took a chance on it. I wasn't disappointed! The way I describe Bandit is that it starts out like a kitten (soft, maybe a little sweet) and then it's like a panther- sleek, sharp, can't-miss-it. I got compliments the first time I wore it. There is no other scent quite like it and seems to be lesser know. I hope it stays that way!

I have tried to like this one, but it just smells overly sweet and cheap. I have smelled it on others and I don;t know if they sprayed too much but it's very headache-inducing. The only scent I ever liked by Coty was L'Effleur and that was discontinued.

A very dear friend of mine gave me this as a gift about 12 years ago. I agree with castorpollux, it definately smells likelike a fresh morning rose garden- though I can't smell any fruity essence to it. A very clean rose scent, not cloying in the least. Yardley perfumes are classic.

According to the Vermont country Store's description of Tweed: "fresh top notes of bergamot, lavender and geranium. Floral middle notes of narcisse, carnation and jasmine with a woody base of vetiver, patchouli and oakmoss.
I don't know what the original (Lentheric) smelled like- I do know that the version made by Fine Fragrances is a delight! I am not overly fond of sweet scents and Tweed is perfect. I enjoy wearing on a cold day- has a refreshing bite to it!
