A bold tuberose with the 1980s written all over it. Similar style to the Carolina Herrera that came out a year prior to this. I definitely get the juicy apricot note and the waxy, fleshy narcissus as well. Hints of civet are there to remind you what era this hails from. Makes me want to wear shoulder pads, a ton of hair product and listen to Bette Midler.

Sweet tuberose.
It’s a complex sweet floral blend, it has ylang, apricots, narcissus, gardenia, tuberose, jasmines, roses, orange blossoms, civet, orange, vetiver, and musk.
In short, it’s sharp sweet floral blend, VERY 80s sharpness roses blend and quite powerful. I really enjoyed as it settles into whiffs between narcissus, orange blossoms, gardenia, apricots, and roses with slight powder on the way. Amazingly blended. And it has nothing to do with “Narcisse Chloe” by Chloe at all.

It’s cheap. What can you say? A sweeter, fruity, watered down Ciara or some other spicy floriental but light on the spice. I mainly smell Tuberose but not the creamy element, just the sweetness, peach, narcissus and ylang with a hint of musk mixed with cinnamon or pepper that give it a little spice. I would call this a fruity floral more than a floriental but it keeps from being candy fruit floral with that little bit of texture. I have a huge bottle I really won’t use.

Accidentally came across this perfume on sidebar after researching notes for Organza Indecence. Decided to try it after reading reviews. This is a well blended, potent, confident woman, fragrance. Projects elegance, IMO. Sure it is a late 80’s perfume, but those perfumes are in a class by themselves, QUALITY. This humble review is for the EDT. I’m wondering what Parfum strength would do to my senses? Remotely reminds me of Joop.
Out dated? Everything I like and prefer seems to be outdated, and I love it.

I was sad to hear of Arnold Scaasi’s passing this week. I have always loved his fragrance, his couture, and I especially enjoyed watching him on the Home Shopping Network with his beautiful jewelry designs. His dry sense of humor made him so fun to watch.
For those of you who have not experienced his perfume, please give it a try. It is still very reasonably priced online, and it is quite an intricate huge floral. I would compare it closely to Giorgio or maybe the original Chloe, however, I feel that this one is a bit more wearable (still in small doses).
Rest in Peace Mr. Scaasi, we will miss you but your legend lives on!

Interestingly enough, I can understand why Scaasi did not achieve the popularity of some of the 80’s classics.
While I like all of the notes, the fresh edp sample I received had very gentle sillage and little “POW!” compared to other fragrances of this ilk. On my skin there was also very little longevity, though while it lasted it was pleasant enough.
Unless this gentle floriental hits it off perfectly with your chemistry, I suspect Scaasi will remain in the “pleasant enough” categeory!

Wow, that’s an odd one. The first surprise was when I sprayed it on my wrist and saw brown oily liquid (probably as it was pure perfume). Great Scott, what if I sprayed it on clothes! Heavy scent, reminds me of solid perfume- there’s a similar note in all solid scents. So this one is a liquidified solid by the smell of it. Very serious, intense and dark, that’s a lot of spicy flowers, megaton strength really. At this stage I don’t see myself wearing this in public.
The situation changes in the dry down stage. Dry down in Scaasi is sweeter, gentler, fruitier and muskier. Vanilla and civet in combination smell classy and expensive and I keep sniffing my wrist non-stop. The most likable stage in this perfume, lovable actually. I would wear this gladly, even at home at first, like a sinful treat for me alone.
UPD: the staying power is tremendous, almost 2 days already. The last stages smell like my beloved Turbulences, which is an added bonus. Another bottle on the way.

This stuff is a riot in a Whorehouse..I have the vintage parfum and it is the definition of a powerhouse Floriental..Everything but the kitchen sink and yes a close relation to the 80’s formula of Fracas.

This is a no holds barred slightly peachy tuberose perfume with the 80’s stamped all over it.
Way too dated to wear now unless you want people to wrinkle their nose and move away from you.
Good quality but not a wearable classic.

I was given this perfume as a present by a very classy and sophisticated lady, who is passed away now. It was stolen from my app.t many yrs. Ago and i wonder if it’s still being sold in the US. This is not a proper review, but I remenber I loved this perfume and the bottle design. in the same robbery they stole also a brand new big bottle of Panthere de Cartie!
