If one can imagine a Coco Chanel, with a lovely light sparkle running through it. I really like this one. Orange cinnamon notes within an amber sweet backdrop. Has an 80s oriental feel to it. Seems very well made.

Thank you, Athenian. I’m still waiting to receive this, but I did read on ‘another’ website that it is somewhat similar in feeling, in a similar vein, as Coco. I’m sure I won’t be the least bit disappointed if that is the case with it–and my own chemistry. Happy perfuming!

AmazonGrace the Soprani perfume is simply amazing. I am sure it is exactly what you are hoping for and more. Enjoy!!!

I just blind bought this based on reviews here and the notes listed in Luciano Soprani. I got the vintage 3.4 ounce EdT concentration.
I did notice that this was formulated in 1987–but if it’s a (stereotypical) ’80s heavy-hitter with bombastic sillage and longevity: all the better IMO IF I like the fragrance.
I’m awaiting it’s arrival in the post, but will return after testing to give a review.
I’m surprised (and a tad bit anxious) about LS not having more reviews here on Fragrantica–or elsewhere, for that matter.
Again: for me, all the better if I think it’s a good fragrance and not many others are wearing it. 😉

Sultry, cozy and a bit decadent. Enough said. Strictly for the grown-up only, no matter gender beliefs or sexual identity 😉 .

MsMaryO, Action, what concentration of perfume do you have? I’ve seen it’s available also in EDP.

Wow…what a beautiful scent-very regal and aristocratic. I feel like I should be wearing a deep purple velvet gown with lots of gold and pearls. I love anything with honey, and here it warms things up nicely. It’s definitely chypre, but not a cold chypre.
I won’t even begin to describe notes, as this is blended so well that it becomes one symphony of beauty. It’s perfume the way it was meant to be experienced, as a whole.
This has some serious sillage and “insane” longevity. It lasted for several days on my bathrobe after my initial test of it-until I washed it. I have no idea how long it could have actually lasted, a month, maybe?
I do have one complaint about it. While the opening and the heart are glorious and I can’t stop sniffing my wrist (although I really don’t have to sniff that closely because this throws out to about 3-4 feet!), after about 3 hours the base notes get a little screechy. I did buy a used bottle and this could be due to freshness, but it relegates this to “evenings only” for me.
Still, for quality and “queenliness” factor, this rules!

There is a nice thread on right now about the most aristocratic perfume. Well, it is actually this one. The 1st perfume of Soprani (vintage).
Pure gold, pure class, pure royalty.

I put this on and went about my day, forgetting about it. After an hour i thought “Where is that familiar smell coming from?”
This is so much like Caron’s Pour Une Femme (pure parfum) I thought i dipped into my own wardrobe. You can see for yourself that every note in Pour Une Femme is right here – plus a few more.
Edit: What both fragrances have that makes me swoon is the incense/rose combo on a heavenly patchouli base. Drydown is a luscious honey/amber powdery accord (unlike the sharper, colder iris powder drydown)
I’m impressed that with so many notes this doesn’t slip into a stink or become a flat out mess. It’s clear that whoever is behind this fragrance has some experience.
I do think that my Caron has better quality and is more smooth and rich. Luciano is more ‘airy’ and I get a slight ‘hairspray’ note (but nothing offensive)
lasting power is going on eight hours. Wow. I would recommend buying htis blind, actually
