Last year I purchased "4711 - Melissa & Verbena" and was mind blown about the freshness and how long it would last. Last week I saw the whole range of 4711 on sale and immediately wanted to buy...
I enjoyed this fragrance because it is very unique and has amazing performance. Something I've never noticed in a fragrance that I do with this one is there are a couple of notes that "fight"...
This was a blind buy when I was looking for a wood scent, primarily for winter wear. I was taken a little buy surprised by the powerful blast of lemon at the outset. That transitions nicely to...
An older classic, that is very wearable compared to most fragrances before 1990 (if you can wear YSL Rive Gauche, you can wear this), but still seems a bit dated, and I'm not sure people under 30...
Sugar, cinnamon, syrup, coffee, vanilla and a little cream. That with a fresh burst of powdery lavendar, which adds to the fragrance without being distracting or dominating it. The opening is...
Wazamba is better in all ways, better scent, better longevity and sillage. The only thing I really don't like about Fille en Aiguilles is the super short longevity.
I get a full day from Fille en Aiguilles, easily. Two sprays is all I need to project and enjoy for 10 hours or more. Surprised anyone would find it short-lived.
Fille has quite acceptable longevity for me as well. I'm wearing it quite a bit right now, as it seems perfect for this time of year.
Can't say much about Wazamba, so you might want to test the two, but as was said above, Fille is really some wonderful stuff, and it's unlikely you would ever regret having it.
I much prefer Fille en Aiguilles. Wazamba sounds like something I would like, but the overly sweet fruitiness of it just put me off both times I've tried it.
I would go for Wazamba as it's a more rounded and longer-lasting scent. Fd'A had an initial blast of pine that reminds me of bathroom cleaner and it lingers, ruining the fruity incense drydown, which is nice but not nice enough given the pine intrusion.
