After owning a vintage bottle of Femme Parfum, I was curious to see how the modern formulation held up as I’d never tried it. I blind bought a bottle of the EDT, and unfortunately it was a bitter disappointment to put it bluntly. The vintage version revolves around the beautifully soft, smooth and seductive composition of creamy oakmoss and dark leather alongside cinnamon and sweet plum. The current EDT has completely lost the oakmoss and the leather, and seemingly the cinnamon too. This can only be described as a cumin bomb, it’s absolutely overpowering with the only saving grace being the sweet plum in the background. I’m not sure where this cumin has come from, this doesn’t smell anything like the original. You might as well save your money and cover yourself in curry powder rather than buy this, or better yet just find yourself a vintage bottle which is a masterpiece.
