I picked it up out of curiosity and nostalgia when I spotted it cheap in the discontinued section of an online perfumery. It smells of dry, aromatic amber with a musky base and a very noticeable animalic touch, giving it a distinctly vintage feel. It reminds me of Revlon’s Ciara, but without that sweetness, although it does become slightly sweeter as it dries down. Projection is moderate and lasts about five hours on skin, but on clothes it’s immense, especially the animalic note. My bottle doesn’t come with a sprayer; I’m not sure if it ever had one. Scent 6/10, longevity 5/10, sillage 6.5/10, value for money 6/10, versatility 5.5/10, and packaging 4/10. I might buy it again.
Bought it purely out of curiosity and nostalgia when I spotted it at a bargain price in the discontinued section of a small online perfumery. It smells of dry, aromatic amber with a musk base and a very noticeable animalic trail. It has a distinctly vintage feel. For some reason, it reminds me of Revlon’s Ciara, differing mainly by lacking its sweetness, though it does become faintly sweeter as it dries down. On my skin, it has moderate projection and lasts about five hours, but it lasts much longer on clothes, where the animalic notes really come through. My bottle doesn’t have a spray nozzle; I’m not sure if it was ever sold in a version that included one.

It was my perfume in my youth; I can’t recall how many bottles I went through, I absolutely loved it and identified with it! Recently I found it in a local chemist going out of business. I bought six bottles at a laughable price; the shopkeeper practically gave them to me. They still had the price tag in pesetas. It is so delightfully pleasant. On my skin it leaves a soft, slightly powdery trail, like a face wash. Bless the 80s! Things were done so well back then. It has excellent sillage and better longevity, even though it’s an EDT. Bless.
