It's an old joke - and a stinker... Noses Run in the Family

Colors was composed by Bernard Ellena, who is the son of Peter - a perfumer at Chiris.
Bernard is the uncle of Céline, who's done some twenty two perfumes in fifteen years, and he's the younger brother of Jean-Claude, you may have heard of him...

Whether Bernard's talent is derived from his genes alone (unlikely) or a perfumely privileged upbringing (more likely) he did a decent job on this tart fruity floral.

Bargain Beauty

Who knew that browsing online perfume discounters could be so great? Probably a lot of folks, but not me until I stumbled upon one. Idly I filled my basket with five inexpensive perfumes from houses I'd heard of. When they arrived, only one was a stinker. Not this. Colors is a beautiful perfume I would have paid a lot more for. It's a lovely oriental, more wearable in daytime than its sultry and hypnotic grand cousins. Here, classic oriental notes are given a freshness provided, no doubt, by the fruit, especially pineapple, yet I wouldn't think "fruit" when smelling this if I didn't know it was there. This accomplished perfume may become my "when in doubt, go to" scent. Its low price makes its a doubly welcome addition. Civet is more noticeable in the drydown, but for me it works.

It's Okay

I wore this fragrance a lot when I was younger, and while it's smells alright, the civet note annoys me. (I suppose it's another example of my changing tastes.) Overall, the fragrance isn't particularly strong, but the civet note sticks out like a protruding nail to my nose. If I could remove that one note, I'd likely love this spicy floral fruity fragrance.
