I think this is the single most fem fatale perfume ever created. The notes are complex fruity Chypre. Ambergris, Civit and Opoponax are the complex sultry base. Anise, clove, violet, vetiver, cassia, clary sage, bergamot, neroli, coriander, Jasmine, oak moss and olibanum all contribute to the complexity and depth of this fragrance. These ingredients are all natural and why the fragrance changes throughout the day.
I have loved this perfume since it’s launch in 1980 and nothing compares. The perfumer who created this work of art is a genius! I could walk around naked before leaving the house without this scent. I sleep in it, wear it all day, it is s part of my soul and identity.
This perfume is a classic for the idealist, confident feminine and strong woman. I have had men follow me specifically to ask what I am wearing. I am an Autumn in the color wheel so it blends perfectly with my body chemistry. This perfume is intoxicating for the wearer and everyone around them!
Mila Schon was a visionary to pit her name on this bottle. Thank God it is still made in Italy where the ingredients are natural and not in the USA where the ingredients would have to be synthetic.

Really beautiful fragrance.
Opening notes listed above are all there, balanced and beautiful. Opens with sandalwood/wood and clove blended with peachy-carnation floral notes that slowly lighten to reveal rose and vetiver. The spice and rose dissipate by dry down, which highlights amber, styrax, and drippy lily. I don’t get much musk or fruit, other than the initial peachy intro. It’s not sexy, dirty, or skanky, but it is SMOOTH and a QUALITY fragrance. A great choice for lily lovers.
Longevity: 4-5 hours
Sillage: Close to body

I received a sample of this years ago when this first came out. Back then, I only wore one perfume- opium. I was so pleasantly surprised that I liked this. It was especially cool because it is my name! I just got a huge bottle of the vintage, original perfume so now I can wear my namesake perfume whenever I like. Its complicated, classy, original, and beautiful– like me!

(Review of the EdT.) Really a surprise, being impossible to find. It could be described as a paradigmatic vintage fragrance overloaded with flowers and musk. The musk is really “dirty”, but it blends in an exceptionally good manner with the sweet, juicy notes of flowers, rendering it really luxurious and glamorous. It’s a dark and exotic scent, with very strong longevity and projection, but pleasant. Exquisitely crafted, it smells rich and “natural”, without plastic, synthetic vibes. If you like old style scent, definitely a must have. (10/10)

Thank you for your excellent reviews below : it has been a blind buy and has been a beautiful discovery for me . Very good quality and rather affordable price although discontinued because it is not a famous fragrance . Smell the roses , like the idiom says 🙂

What a find this was!
A well-rounded fragrance: warm, smooth and woody. Sexy and spicy, this is a classic amber composition. Strong and persistent, but held close to the skin. A golden, lush, richly aromatic mix of very high quality ingredients. Fruits are dry, rather than sweet, florals are soft, and creamy sweet. A dry peach, with a sweet, not sour or bitter, citrus.
The rose is lovely, persistent, a deep red rose. Could easily vault to the top of my favorites. It really does not remind me of specific fragrances, but the quality and clarity of vision is on par with the great classics. Spicy, boozy and warm, this is very French to my nose, but evokes the Italian countryside. Amber and patchouli evolve over a long deep drydown. The base notes are complex, combining a gentle musk with soft woods and a light patchouli. I am editing now that I am wearing it again in the fall. Great for the holidays.

This is a beautiful blend (I have an EDT; it is as persistent and lingering as “normal modern” perfumes 😉
Mila Schön opens on me fruity, peachy and musky, but citruses fade soon. After a while peach becomes smooth and pleasantly rounded, and carnation and rose appear.
At the second phase the scent starts to bear some resemblance to Fleurs de Rocaille. I checked, and they share many notes indeed (notice, that I own the cologne version of FDR, so I can’t say anything about other strengths).
The base is musky (for a reason or other musk almost always tends to build up on my skin), a bit woody and, to my nose, styraxy, too. Some sweet and soft flowers remain as does a slightest hint of peach (it never leaves).
Warm whiffs of this graceful perfume can be detected hours and hours later…

AMAZING CREATION!
I have recieved a huge 120ml bottle of EDP of this and it is still boxed and unopened with thread over it´s lid, but i could smell it anyway through the lid and it is amazing oriental!!! No words to describe it, just such an explosion of spices with peach, carnation and wood in one of the most beautiful combinations i have ever smelled so far! Ladies, if you love oriental and can find it, then DO get it, it is really an unique fragrance! You won´t be duplicated by someone, you´ll be outstanding!

My favorite scent of all time. I still have a little powder left, but it’s not quite the same as perfume. I have been looking for it since about 1990. I found some on ebay once but lost to a last minute bidder. Alas! I wish it would be produced again.

Oh wauw, this looks amazing! Another one I would LOVE to know the smell of!
