Lady Stetson is a powdery, soapy, classic white floral. It’s subtle, comforting, and wholesome, in a very matronly way. Reminds me of guest soaps in a bathroom, and because of that association, I am not likely to wear it.

Poor degraded Lady Stetson, like Cinderella the day after the ball, doomed to the lowest, cheapest perfume shelf in Wal-Mart, even below RiRi and Guess. In a thin, thoughtless paperboard box with only three flaps and the cheapest of cheap bottles with a bendable cap, outclassed by Katy Perry and Justin Bieber scents, consigned to shame.
For those who choose to rescue her, she reveals a stunning beauty. There’s definitely an overlap with Chanel No. 22. I have Lady Stetson on my left wrist and Les Exclusifs de Chanel No. 22 on my right wrist. Not identical by any means, but if you live for the scent of No. 22, you MUST try Lady Stetson. No. 22 is deep, plush, velvety like the petals of an iris with aldehydes like chirping Disney birds in a sparkly rainbow – there is no hyperbole too extreme for No. 22, this is a perfume created through some sort of spiritual intervention that I hope was divine and not something else because I am addicted to No. 22.
Lady Stetson smells like Chanel created a soap with the No. 22 fragrance, that’s the best I can describe it. No. 22 through a glass, darkly. The outlines are there; the aldehyde, the ylang-ylang. Only details differ. Lady Stetson reminds me more of the old No. 22 that used to be sold commonly at department stores (next to No. 5 & No. 19), which I used in the EDT form in an opaque white bottle for years. If they would take the AMBER out of this, it would be closer to No. 22. They could take out the sandalwood, too, but maybe that’s what holds it together.
I love Lady Stetson. If you are unfortunate enough to have to go to Wal-Mart for something pedestrian like pipe tape, swing by the fragrances section and rescue a bottle. This Lady should not have to stand next to the rabble on that bottom shelf.

I love this so much. Lady Stetson really blooms in the heat.. I’ve had it for awhile and when I first tried it, the weather was mild and I didn’t think much of this fragrance. Trying it again today in triple digit weather.. whew, it’s really something! Tangy, musky and soapy. I get a very vintage feel from the carnation, oakmoss, and aldehydes, but sweet peach and ylang-ylang give Lady Stetson a pleasantly inoffensive and fresh vibe. This is a great scent to wear to work with good longevity and projection for being a cologne.

I bought another perfume off of eBay, and the seller tossed this in as a bonus. I’d never smelled it before, but thought I’d give it a whirl. What a pleasant surprise it is.
The bottle I have is from the mid-90’s. Lady Stetson has a prominent, but not overpowering, aldehydic note. Usually, aldehydes die off quickly, but they have a good 30 minute run in this fragrance. The aldehydes are slightly waxy and a bit soapy, but entirely pleasant.
Turin and Sanchez love this stuff – both say its superior to Chanel N°22. Lady Stetson is in no way a dupe of Chanel N°22, but I can see why people compare them. The aldehydes, ylang-ylang, jasmine and overall structure of fragrances have strong similarities. Lady Stetson is a very wearable, very inexpensive take on that theme.
I like Lady Stetson a lot and think it will become one of my favorites for days at the office. Thank you eBay seller, for introducing me to this little gem.

Dislike for me. I am not a fan of oakmoss or carnation so that’s probably why. I do pick up on the vinyl/ plastic vibe. Not saying its a bad smell necessarily just definitely not me I can picture the type of lady who enjoys country line dancing or horse racing to wear this. This isn’t girlie or frilly. Its spunky.

I thought for the longest time that Chanel No. 22 could be the favorite perfume I’ve never smelled, just based on the reviews and notes. I’ve read that it’s very similar to No. 5, a long time favorite of mine. My imagination thought that No. 22 would open with No. 5 aldehydes, and then transform into this heady, Fracas-esque white floral, but with a vanilla/vetiver base. No. 22 has long avoided me — while many years ago this was a staple at Chanel department store counters, it has long been discontinued from them, now only being available as an exclusive on the Les Exclusifs de Chanel line. This line is only available online or at select Chanel boutiques, and the only boutique near me only has them one DAY a year. Kind of ridiculous don’t you think? I was not able to attend the day they sold the fragrances, so when I finally did make it, they only had a select few samples left. While the boutique saleswoman was looking through the drawer, I spotted it. A tiny little spray vial with “No 22” written in pen on the side. She gave me the vial and I finally got to smell this fragrance. The first fragrance I immediately think of? Lady Stetson. All this time, this fragrance has been sitting in the drugstore, calling for me. Whenever I sprayed it, I always thought that this couldn’t be what No. 22 smells like, based on the comparisons I’ve read. However, it really comes close. Upon this discovery, I searched for a good deal online for Lady Stetson. I was very lucky and came across a reasonably priced set, which includes a small bottle of a “Precious Blend Perfume Spray”, which I assume isn’t being made anymore (does anyone remember when they last saw this being sold in the stores? I feel as if it has to be very recent.) My god, this perfume spray is to die for. It is much stronger than the current watered down cologne formula in stores, and it’s much longer lasting. This opens up with heavy aldehydes, but definitely not Chanel No. 5 aldehydes. These are still very soapy, but lean towards an orange aroma. Almost immediately, you smell some intense woods blended with the aldehydes (which believe it or not linger slightly longer than usual). Surprisingly, this perfume isn’t a sneezer for me (Most strong aldehydic perfumes tend to make me sneeze). This is a pretty basic perfume, pretty much all I get from it are the aldehydes and powdery woods. It was the same with No. 22, the only difference with No. 22 was some very VERY faint white flowers, but the woods definitely make the fragrance. This is very light but very intense at the same time. It seems that the current fragrance is more watered down than the cologne spray in my set. The aldehydes pack a bigger punch, and it’s a bit more powdery. After smelling the current formula in stores a few times, this has definitely been reformulated, which is absolutely disgraceful considering how wonderful the fragrance in this set is. It’s a shame the Precious Blend Perfume Spray isn’t still being made. It is simply wonderful, and no doubt packs more of a punch than the current No. 22 formula I tested at the department store. I wish Coty would stop axing/ruining their best fragrances! This along with Emeraude, L’Aimant and a couple other classic Coty fragrances deserve stronger formulas and a wider range of availability besides just a cologne spray. This fragrance has definitely left it’s impression on me, and if this were more widely available, I’d be wearing it often. I love discovering new classics, but my heart breaks when I find it’s been heavily reformulated!

Late October, cold and windy, and the peach-toned box of Lady Stetson spoke to me from the back of my perfume cabinet. It was the right choice! It is a light aldehydic floral, a bit old-fashioned and powdery in tone but definitely ladylike and not “old lady”. It has a warmth that suits autumn weather without hitting you over the head. Good longevity for a drugstore bargain: it is going on 8 hours with a single spray on each of my wrists and one at the base of my throat. Not a lot of sillage, but I’m still getting very pleasant wafts as I go about my day. I don’t find it really soapy, though the aldehydes definitely announce themselves together with a peach top note. A rose peeks through now and then, but the most prominent flower notes to my nose are the ylang-ylang and carnation. Sandalwood and amber notes definitely make an appearance during the drydown, and linger. I suspect that this fragrance “wears” better in low humidity weather, which may be why some people find it best in fall and winter. I’m loving how nice it smells on this chilly October day.
I wouldn’t have tried this, but for the high rating by Turin and Sanchez (4 stars), and I’m so glad I did. For a very low price, you can enjoy a pretty, ladylike, non-fruity floral with warm undertones, and if it works on your skin as it does on mine, it will last for hours without overwhelming others near you. Soft and lovely. Try it — what have you got to lose?

I find summertime to be the hardest to find agreeable fragrances, I’m getting where I can’t deal with big florals or oriental scents right now, they feel smother-y. I think it’s just the mood I’ve been in right now. I can’t handle “fresh” modern scents at all at any time of day or year. I find them the most obnoxious of fragrances, they are screechy to me. I’ll try on different scents that I have that I’ve neglected to see if I can find the right one to fit my mood and frame of mind (been going to lots of job interviews and that’s frustrating. I’ve been dealing with a bum knee) so my mood lately has been cranky to say the least. I gave Lady Stetson a try even though most reviewers place this in the Fall or Winter category. I respectfully disagree. It has the longevity and sillage of a colder-weather fragrance but is light and airy. I especially appreciate the powdery sandalwood in Lady Stetson. Occasionally I will get a hint of peach, but only a little whiff here and there. I’ve seen many reviewers mention this fragrance along with White Shoulders. They also say that it doesn’t smell like White Shoulders. It’s true, they don’t smell anything like one another but I think the effect both fragrances have on a wearer are similar. They make a person feel good. White Shoulders makes me feel really pretty (I have reviewed that perfume before and have talked about the “vibe” it gives). Lady Stetson makes me feel like I’ve got my stuff together. I feel pretty and smart wearing this. It’s not a terribly complex fragrance but it is elegant. To me, it’s perfume that makes you feel dressed-up and pulled together. I would compare Lady Stetson more closely with White Linen with it’s clean lines. I like the advertisement with the lady in the white pantsuit declaring her independence. It imparts the feeling this fragrance provides. And of course, for the price, you could do waaaaay worse.

Though not much of a drugstore cheapie kind of gal I was intrigued by this American perfume which is nowhere to be found in the United Kingdom. As I’m a fan of American brands and fragrances formulated in the USA, I placed my order from Amazon.com. It was the only way I could get my hands on this perfume since they do not sell this in any store I know of in London. The bottle is glass with a cheap looking stopper and the box is beyond dull and so unimaginative that it’s pretty sad. The fragrance, however, was quite pleasant, powdery, feminine, clean, and not bad for a fragrance that can cost between 6 and 12 US dollars. You can buy this from Amazon or eBay and if you happen to be an American I am told that the chain of Wal Mart stores sell this.
At the affordable price you get a pretty perfume of soapy aldehydes at the top, very clean and effervescent and reminiscent of soap or rather to be more specific suds of soap in a bath tub. This is a suitable after-shower or after-your-bath fragrance. The aldehydes give way to a light passing fruit note of peach and ylang ylang, a pink rose and carnation, quite floral but powdery in an old fashioned boudoir sense. Some of the times as others have noted it does recall perfume like White Shoulders L’Air du Temps Chanel No 22 Arpege and also L’Aimant as well as L’Interdit. You can peg it as an aldehyde floral. The aldehydes are the bigger accords so if you are comfortable wearing aldehyde perfume this is a very refreshing and quite powdery aldehyde scent with polite peach and sweet rose and carnation.
In the dry down there is some oak moss (not in big doses) a sandalwood and perhaps a light cedar wood, some musk and amber. The fragrance is a clean and no nonsense scent. Lady Stetson is not a British aristocratic lady but a pioneer woman of the American West. She can’t afford luxurious French perfume or cosmetics so she has this alternative which seems to smell of cosmetics anyways and of a very good soap or talcum powder. This is befitting of a woman of the working class, a nurse, a waitress, a teacher. She does not smell of money but she is very clean and sober, conservative, and can be worn with a very conservative get-up like a white blouse with buttons and a knee-length skirt or a whole suit. It has a vintage vibe nowadays and it’s becoming harder to find this perfume in women’s collection. As we move along in the 21st century for me it’s important to wear perfumes that recall the latter years of the 20th century. This is a very comfortable soothing and pretty powdery fragrance that elevates my mood.

I bought a bottle of this because of reviews I have read but to me it smells of plastic. Can it have gone off? I can’t believe that is what everyone is smelling.

I’m not and never have been a perfume snob so for this Southern country gal of a certain age Lady Stetson by Coty, a drugstore cheapie (under 10 bucks), is a treat. I don’t think it’s a very complex perfume and it’s not fit for wearing in public in big social occasions. This is a friendly powdery soft and subtle scent to wear every day at work (the office, school, factory, wherever it is you work) and at home for comfort. It doesn’t smell like anything out in the fragrance market today. This is an old fashioned aldehyde floral musk with a powdery delicate floral air. There are notes missing here that are not listed: vanilla, cedar wood, powdery notes. It’s a simple fragrance, modest, unassuming and definitely meant for a mature woman. This was marketed for women and built up as a kind of all American hard working woman in a man’s world type of scent. I thought it was Coty’s take on something like Enjoli by Charles of the Ritz (later on Revlon) which was another drugstore floral toilet water scent I used to wear. Both scents are gorgeous and the kind I still keep buying after they have fallen on the wayside. This is a very lovely bright day wear perfume for ladies.
The opening is a soft tangy almost candied sort of citrus. It smells like Pez candy! It’s fruity with orange, tangerine, and a distinct peach flavor. The peach is not too concentrated nor as ripe or juicy as I usually like peach notes but it’s very nice. The aldehydes and peach note along with a rose note is similar to aldehyde floral classics with peach notes like Arpege by Lanvin and Chanel No. 22. That being said it doesn’t smell like either of those fragrances. This is unique to me. It does have an old fashioned retro aldehyde opening. Very fresh. Zesty. Possibly it contains a dash of lemon. Then the florals come through. Rose, ylang ylang, jasmine. The florals are sweet and soapy. Think of that pink bar of Dove soap that is out in the stores today. Sweet very dainty little flower soap. Once the floral notes subside, the dry notes emerge and it’s clearly a very light whisper of musk and sandalwood, amber, and cedar. This is a very powdery and not too heavy base of woods plus musk. It has a relaxed casual feel.
Cheap it may be but it has all the right stuff. This is a soothing little scent for wearing in the day to feel clean and fresh. It is perfect to put on after your shower and when your pores are open. This blends well with my skin and it’s not too musky. Lady Stetson is indeed a lady. My mother a real Southern belle used to tell me that women, ladies, should smell of fresh clean soap. So I recommend this to women over 40 and over 50 who don’t spend too much on perfume or really care that much for various perfumes and want only one simple every day kind of casual fragrance. But liking florals is required. This is all about the powdery florals. I also really like it because it’s a kind of formulaic soapy aldehyde floral in the vein of my signature scent Evyan White Shoulders. Loving it. Beautiful!!

My mom still keeps a small bottle of this in her small luggage case where she keeps everything from band aids to aspirin. I don’t know how she keeps everything without being a hoarder, but she does. Maybe she’s as nostalgic as I am. I just remember this as a warm and intense floral.

There are a few inexpensive scents that soothe my soul, scents that make me feel loved, and comfortable. Lady Stetson, Vanderbilt Gloria Vanderbilt, & Heaven scent.
*Lady Stetson is a very feminine fragrance. Something that would make a person smile when they think of you. It’s a first love scent…stays in your memory and gives you the warm fuzzies.

Lady Stetson definitely isn’t bad, but it smells like straight-up soap. I haven’t smelled Balmain’s Ivoire, but it can’t possibly smell more like a bar of a plain old white soap than this does. I’m not fan of very soapy smelling perfumes, so this isn’t cutting it for me, but anyone who’s a big fan of soapiness should give it a shot. Soap.

It’s hard for me to tell which one of these I tried–Stetson or Lady Stetson, I think it was the women’s version. Found it very appealing for those of us who find the occasional romp in the wilderness exhilarating, although I would think it could also work well for every day use. Rustic, stylish, charming–doesn’t get any better.

Lady Stetson The Country Woman
I’m a Nashville gal born and raised and I can’t tell you just how much this fragrance fits me, suits me, and defines me in so many ways, especially now that I’m in my 40’s and a mother.
The TV commercials in the 80’s advertised this perfume as being a Mid Western American working class or middle class woman’s affordable drugstore fragrance. I remember really loving the TV ads. I sought this fragrance at a local shopping mall back in 1992. It was released several years earlier in ’86 but I was too young to wear it then. I sampled it and loved it ever since.
It’s a beautiful floral aldehyde with a sweet and cozy air. It’s the female equivalent to Stetson for men which my husband has worn for years and is his signature scent. Both the men’s cologne and women’s perfume compliment one another extremely well. My hubby Scott has worn Mr. Stetson and I’ve been his Lady Stetson for many years. We both love the scents and have worn them in public especially in the day time and in the summer and autumn. The men’s cologne has honey and boozy leathery touches that smell amazing and the lady’s perfume is a gorgeous floral.
The first spritz of Lady Stetson are aldehydes. Fresh, perfumy, feminine and lovely aldehydes. The opening can be a bit harsh and outdated but they settle down into such lovely flowers. There is an initial peach and tangerine fruit scent but it’s not a fruity perfume by any means. It delves into the deep florals. A deep red rose scent emerges from out of the citrus. The rose is soapy and sweet.
I detected a jasmine and ylang and they briefly become reminiscent of Chanel No. 5. That rose and ylang from No. 5 which follow aldehydes. To me this ylang is absolutely gorgeous and as they fade the amber note develops beautifully. The amber is warm and golden, matching up with the yellow floral ylang and the citrus.
Finally the whole thing is a musky dry down, a bit powdery as a musk, not at all a masculine musk. It’s warm and comfortable like putting on a coat. Because it is such a warm finale, the scent is suitable to wear in colder weather. This is a stunning floral.
The fragrance is so affordable you can practically get it for about 7 or 8 bucks if you shop online. The fragrance is mature, sophisticated and beautiful. If you like Chanel No. 5 but you want a cheaper alternative, this one is a great choice.
I remember the first time I wore it I showed it to my husband and he put on his Stetson cowboy hat and put one on me and said “Lady Stetson I believe”. He’s such a clown. I love him. And he love my perfume.

I love aldehydes. This is an aldehydic floral. It has a lot in common with fragrances like Chanel No. 5 No. 22 Arpege and First Van Cleef and Arpel. The aldehydes make it unmistakably feminine. Works best on women’s chemistry. The aldehydes are like ta da! very showy. The fragrance is sweet with peach and then turns into a rose and carnation floral. The carnation is what most dominates the fragrance. The flower is a diva in her own right so if you have worn carnations in perfume before you’ll know what to expect. The flowers quiet down and the scent becomes sandalwood, musk, amber and oak moss. Lots of oak moss. A beautiful classy luxurious fragrance that as others have pointed out does smell like a more expensive Chanel fragrance.

Haven’t owned a bottle of this in at least a decade, but I’m thinking I need to revisit it again. I’ve pushed aside a lot of my favorite “drug store” perfumes for pricier juices and that’s just not right! There are some truly amazing and affordable scents I’m missing out on! Hopefully this one hasn’t been reformulated too very much over the years. It had a lovely depth that bloomed over the course of hours and stayed so warm and soft around you in the dry down. I love Stetson for men, too.

EYddieU – 2022-06-14:

At first I got aldehydes strongly, then a powerful ylang-ylang comes through. This is sweet and woody, the ylang-ylang continuing to shine through all the other notes.
It is light and pleasant, feminine, a bargain buy too.
I feel it is summer wear, for casual or informal occasions.

I grew up in a rural Texas town, far removed from the bustle of Houston, which is the closest big city. All my peers and I rode horses and most of us had cows, chickens and lived on small farms. I was in junior high during 89-91, and Lady Stetson was ubiquitous. The boys all wore Stetson and Aspen and all the girls wore Lady Stetson and Exclamation! I revisited this again, like many on this site, thanks to Tania Sanchez’s review. The first spray took me right back to skin-tight Rocky Mountain jeans and sky-high hair. After consciously trying to overcome the prejudice of my past, I can smell Lady Stetson for what it is, an inexpensive, aldehyde bright floral/musk. The aldehydes linger for quite awhile on my skin, which is nice. It dries down gradually to a powdery floral, and four hours into wearing it, I’m noticing the musk, which is staying very close. I do not find this scent sharp at all, but neither do I find it brilliant like TS claims. What I do find is a lovely scent, absolutely fine for every day and every situation wear. It is casual, light and the florals are well blended. It is not a cloyingly sweet fruit-chouli, for which I am thankful. My best advice, wear this and appreciate it for what it is.

THREE TIMES A LADY
Lady Stetson! My mother wore this in the 90’s A LOT. She loved it. This was probably her favorite fragrance after she dumped Avon LOL First of all let me get one thing straight. This is not a cheap perfume. While it’s very affordable and inexpensive, it wears just like a more fruitier version of Chanel No. 22. It doesn’t smell exactly like No. 22 but it has the strong aldehydes, white jasmine, white rose and sandalwood that evokes No. 22. So while this sells at under 30 bucks it wears like a much more luxurious and expensive fragrance. I remember it was very beautiful on my mother. She let me wear it when I was finally old enough to wear perfume. I wore this one to my high school prom. No one else was wearing this fragrance so I felt very unique. I wore it with a rich dark royal purple prom gown that I had made myself with my mother’s sewing machine. The rose in this perfume is not a dominant scent but it makes it’s presence known and it’s clearly more of a white rose at a wedding. That’s probably the lady part of it’s moniker. The carnation is stronger to my nose as is the ylangylang the latter being the strongest player. Wears like a creamy yellow flower. The peach in this fragrance is sweet and rather tart. Alright I’m being polite. It’s a slutty sexy seductive peach! I found it less lady like than the peach in Lanvin’s Arpege. It’s like a cheeky naughty married British aristocratic lady who wears floral perfumes with her conservative attire but who is sleeping with the chauffeur or gardener. This should have been called LADY CHATTERLEY like the heroine in D.H. Lawrence’s novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover. This makes me feel very sexy but I don’t find it appropriate for teenage girls. I was wearing my mother’s perfume to the prom for God’s sake LOL Fortunately no one else knew that but me. This suits a woman in her late 20’s and in her 30’s. It’s very sophisticated. The dry down comes off as clean and warm and that’s definitely the amber working on your skin. There is also significant musk at the end so you get a woodsy musky strong dry down. It lasts and lasts for hours. I remember I smelled of it the next morning after prom. It is a sultry fragrance of strong classic aldehydes, a peachy opening note and a white floral accord with woods at the base. It wears more like a floral chypre. This fragrance was first released by my favorite company COTY in 1986. And this is totally an 80’s power house fragrance. So if you like 80’s perfumes, strong aldehydes and Chanel No. 22 but a more affordable version, this is for you. I could never wear this again because it takes me back to Prom Night and I don’t want to go there anymore LOL

This is definitely an adehydic fragrance. But it’s not “knock you over the head Chanel No 5” aldehydic. This is lighter with notes of wood and spice. There’s a subtle sweetness about it that softens it a bit and sets it apart from other fragrances like this. It’s quite lovely. I almost hate the name “Lady Stetson”. It brings with it the connotation of hillbillies and country. I don’t get that at all when I smell this scent. I think this is an innocent, charming, feminine scent. This is another drug store classic that surely won’t disappoint. I am having a ball rediscovering these classics (Lady Stetson, Tabu, Navy). I used to be one to turn my nose up. But these fragrances are surprisingly nice and complex. Newer lesser expensive scents don’t hold a candle to these. It’s nice to be able to smell nice without breaking the bank. It’s also great not to smell yourself coming and going.

Fascinating that you guys compare this to Chanel 22. Lady Stetson and Chanel 22 are the only two perfumes that my husband consistently likes on me.
Other sites say that this is for “trailer trash” people. Whatever. It smells great. I’ve always got compliments on it; from men and women.
Peach, carnation, cedar. It’s just delicious. Much warmer than Chanel 22.
And I used to love, love, love Babe by Faberge.
I’m going to get more of this. I feel very sexy and attractive when I wear it.

This has the early ’80’s tennis chic vibe I like so much. It opens with soft, golden aldehydes that have a “cotton-linen in sunshine” warmth but while they do have a hint of the powder freshness usually associated with aldehydes, they never become harshly metallic or dry. They actually feed into the subtle, white Coty musk and both meld together to form a nice, clean skinscent.
What happens next is the most interesting part. The oakmoss buzzes quietly and gently, as if the creator knew that too, many dry, powdery powerhouse notes fighting for dominance will only result in a harsh industrialized starkness. What’s interesting is how it feels like only a drop of each notes has been dropped into a pool of sweet water, allowed to disperse in the pool, one by one, so the clearness of each note could be felt.
A spicy carnation with a hint of oily pink floats by. Some fuzzy sandalwood gives a warm, woodsy feel and a sweetness that smells like treated suede (Lady Stetson’s horse saddle, rather?) A “baby wipes” sweet rose installs itself in the background. The wood and moss grows slightly drier but not before a golden hint of nectar from the fruits brings a cool freshness.
The white flowers add a hint of airy freshness but their freshness starts to get warmer under sunlight and now, the spiciness begins to emerge as something sweet, molten and textured. The amber comes forward a bit more and it’s almnost as smooth and viscous as honey. You realize how this would be considered the perfect clean body scent for those who had been using the slightly spicy body products — Tussy, “Gee your Hair Smells Terrific”, “Sweet Honesty”, Sandalwood oil — of the late 60’s and 70’s. It smells like a post “White Linen” blend, when a simple cotton tennis dress would do and terry cloth shirts kept their dryer sheet freshness throughout the day.
For some reason, I always avoided “Lady Stetson” because I assumed it would be a screamingly harsh, soapy aldehyde white floral and never my style. I’m astonished to find a breezy, spicy-soft, sun-musk and linen blend, that is as close to what I’m looking for in a regular scent than I could’ve imagined for myself.
There must be a subliminal cultural message at work, here because I’m tempted to make one of the most affordable, available drugstore scents — one that I’ve looked past, forever — my signature scent. Two big bottles of an elegant, distinctive scent for less than $10? Yes, please!

This is one of my more confusing scents. It starts off strong, BUT then it doesn’t seem to stick around very long. I always wonder how that works. How can it have such a big opening but then wimpy staying power? I don’t know. Well maybe I do, it is a cologne spray vs. an EDT or EDP.
I like that this one smells pretty soapy to me, and casual too. I choose this one primarily for when I’m staying at home and want to smell nice after my shower. I’ll continue experimenting on spraying it maybe more spread out including my clothes and see if that helps.
I like the tactile feel of the this smaller size slender bottle….it feels good in hand and has a decent spray. It was a reasonably priced purchase, but I don’t see myself probably ever going out of my way to repurchase in the future.

I found my full bottle in a thrift store at less than $5, so there was no reason to pass it up. I sprayed it on as soon as I left the store and let it play out on the ride home. I don’t like aldehydes and that, and the the fact that it smells obviously synthetic in the beginning, renders the start a little rough for me. Many have compared this to the more expensive Chanel No. 22 and I can see some similarities, in the beginning, but as the aldehyeds in Lady Stetson quickly wear away, what emerges is something that’s more warm, spicy woods laced with oakmoss, making it a nice winter comfort scent, where Chanel No. 22 remanis more sweet, aldehydic/floral and spring-like. I have a vintage bottle of Chanel No. 22 pure parfum and to tell you the
