pollilop – :
Looking at that notes list I am wondering whether my sample is labelled incorrectly. Because I know it is from the Heritage Collection and not earlier, but what I am smelling is a strong, very feminine in an old school 80’s kinda way, spiced carnation and (fake) civet musks, some heady white flowers, all shot through with something with a sharp-sour profile and a hint of bite. There is also a slight fruity note to it that reminds me of peach or apricot, it isn’t the dominating accord but it is ever present to some degree. I find the opening discordant, sharp, a little sour and astringent and I am not fond of this stage. But give it a few minutes to bed down and suddenly my nose is greeted with tendrils of beautiful spiced feminine florals augmented by a hint of fruity compote, and these are what stick around and evolve and by the drydown this is something really beautiful. This perfume smells of sunset colours, fire reds and scarlet, orange of every hue, hints of coral and peach, splashes of yellow, and a thin thread of rich deep blue running under.
It reads nothing like the notes list here would imply. I can see that maybe rhubarb could be responsible for the sharp sour and fruiy accord, but otherwise the 2 don’t add up in my mind/nose.
Definitely need to further investigate this.
