Sweet, thick, and syrupy.
This parfum is heady, peachy, and very sweet, with a smell of apricots and the scratchiness of cinnamon. I have a vintage Parfum dabber bottle, and I don't know if any notes have gone off, but there isn't much nuance to it in my opinion. It is is a thick, unctuous syrup. I do not detect any woods. Nothing like (the 2024 version of) Feminite du Bois, which is spicier, lighter, woodier and less sweet.
In the middle of the drydown - two hours later- I do begin to smell hints of spice and plum drifting off my arm, and almost like a phantom I smell Feminité du Bois’s gingery spicy plum.
At the end, when everything else has disappeared, I get strong, sweet bourbon vanilla that sticks to my arm and projects a few inches.
I applied a lot to a shirt, and I find that two days later, I smell vanilla and cumin (like body odor) on the shirt, still clinging.
The longevity is great as expected - sillage not so much. And for me: I am here for the spicy, woody plum and not more honeyed sweetness.
