A beautiful, sophisticated fragrance that came into view after being convinced the House of Guerlain was going to die smothered in marshmallow fluff. It has a completely nonsweet herbal opening of ...
Like Liu, this is a re-release of a Guerlain classic into their high end line. It's a beautiful fragrance. It actually reminds me somewhat of Mitsouko and Revlon Intimate (one of my mother's perfume...
Old style fragrance that reminds me of certain Jean Patou's, but with a greasy citronella edge. It's an aggressive fragrance and needs attitude to pull off. Didn't work at all on me. Disappointed, but...
