Aldehydic, Chanel opening with powdery, citric sparkle, giving way to an ice cold, austere mixture of sharp orange blossom and iris, and quite pronounced coriander. The quality is undeniable, but I can't imagine wearing it, it's almost sour somehow. I can imagine a very, very rich, very, very unhappy Dickens matriarch smelling like this. (10 minutes later) OK yes, now the magic is starting.... There's something warm coming through, but only slightly,. The musk smells wonderful, powdery, delicate but powerful, and the bergamot, iris and orris are floating and swirling on the fluffy, musky clouds. Wonderful. It take it all back, I can wear this, it's a masterstroke, how could I have doubted. No-one does it like Chanel.
This hers slapsssssssss! especially in the heat. Omg this is good!!. Longevity for me was wild!. Sprayed it at 6pm and still smelling it at 11.30am following morning. Projection is steong for firat hour and a half then becomes quite an intimate scent but Longevity is phenomenal.
I don’t think it’s the most original or groundbreaking. That being said it exudes class as Chanel does. It opens with sparkling citrus that gives way to white florals and soft musk. Orris root gives this a deep and earthy complexity.
