I’ve always been on the lookout for that scent; I tried it once and was instantly hooked. It smells classic, with character and beauty, at a price that doesn’t hurt. I want it—I just managed to grab a bargain one.
They gave it to me, luckily it was a small bottle because I never liked it in the base. I was a student with little money, so if someone gifted me perfume, I’d use it even if it was the most basic 🙁 ….I’d never buy it or gift it, it smells very ‘cheap’ at first.
They gave it to me, luckily it was a small bottle because I never really liked it. I was a student on a tight budget, so if someone gifted me perfume, I’d use it even if it was the most basic… I’d never buy it or give it as a gift; it smells very ‘cheap’ from the first spritz.
I received it as a prize on Fragantica for commenting. I was over the moon with joy, especially seeing the lovely packet with its clear bottle and golden cap. I hadn’t heard of it before; it’s a 90s Cover Girl featuring vanilla, amber and orange blossom. At the time, I was returning to scents from back then; although I’m not a huge fan of vanillas, I adored amber. It’s complex: citrus at the start, then soft, a powdery touch, a light vanilla and a lasting sweet floral blended with the amber, sensual. It doesn’t resemble any current fragrances, more like the powdery Avon colognes from that era. I love the subtlety of the vanilla; it’s not heavy. The bottle looks like CK Obsession and gives an aquatic impression, but it’s for summer and young women. Nowadays it sounds more nocturnal, though it lacks strength. It’s clean, soft, with personality and very much of the 90s, perhaps outdated for teenagers. Longevity is short to moderate. It’s striking, not intense, like a creamy vanilla ice cream with a sensual touch of amber. I’ve really enjoyed it and I’m sure it will ring a bell with someone.
