^^^I saw L'Imperatrice on sale recently somewhere. You know, as much "on sale" as D&G can ever be, pricewise. Sounds like a scent to have fun with, someone described it as "yummy scent of shampoo', :rofl:.
Currently having the ultimate love affair with Ellen Tracy.
This reminds me of everything that I wanted Lancôme's Trésor to be- where Trésor opens with that rotten and LOUD peach (and I love that rotten peach on a good Saturday night)- the remnants of Trésor, the end of the drydown- with Ellen Tracy you spray twice and have that amazing scent from the get go. Woodsy and spicy, smoldering fire that's always there but not screaming at you.
Very perfect for daytime office use- but I can see that on the right person at night as well.
Not a scent that 16 year olds will wear- and I can actually very much see this on a man without it being anywhere close to 'androgynous' in the Calvin Klein sense.
This is truly a scent that truly magnifies YOU and your body chemistry. It is the difference between you being worn by haute couture and you taking an outfit and absolutely making it your own.
Sophisticated, almost preppy and nice girl- a very nerdy but alluring person with self confidence, you know, the kind that knows how to dress in style; that says 'sexy' without skin being revealed. Which is why this could work anywhere from an office, a place of worship, to a nice, sappy and hopelessly romantic walk underneath the stars.
It enhances YOU and doesn't pretend to make you anyone else but yourself- that kind of fragrance.
Definitely leaves an impression of the great 90ies perfumes.
"Woodsy" done in perfection. I love scents like Kenzo's Amour- incensy and woodsy spices. Definitely not a fruity floral.
If I had to pick a "celebrity" whom I would envision to wear this- Lady Diana or a graceful Lady of the 50ies who wears gloves while driving, while her scarf is flying around.
