Synthetic floral sweetness (I can just about recognize the garden carnation), on a sweet base that鈥檚 becoming more gold-patchouli. "For ladies"

Oh, I found and still find it beautiful...
It has this vanilla-warm, enveloping, protective quality.
What scent can still do that today...

I also believe that women don't necessarily have to smell like sugary vanilla fruit....

Unfortunately, it's just sweet, sweet, and sweet... it lacks the trashiness, the charm, the value, the character... whatever!

Extremely unnecessary. Even old things can be mundane 馃槄

I would prefer this one over the men's version!

It would be too sweet for you (and that's saying something, considering we both don't have a fundamental issue with sweetness!).

馃槃 How often do you read statements (not literally, but boiled down to the core message): "it's sweet, floral, synthetic, flat, boring, and overall mediocre. Just for the ladies." Thanks a lot 馃檮馃槈

You didn't miss much. In the dry down, it gets nicer, but that doesn't really save it...

It seems to have rightly disappeared into oblivion anyway.
