Early Gourmand
One of the early Gourmands, before that was even a term!
Desire for a Woman is a sweet, cheery composition. The construction of the perfume- meaning the structure/balance of the notes and the way they unfold- is excellent. A good dollop of tart Citrus creates a wet, fresh effect and balances sweet White Flowers and bright Pink Roses. This combination approximates the aroma of pink Peonies. The base is primarily Vanilla, with some Woods & Musk thrown in for balance. The Caramel & Licorice are understated, but keep you going back for more. Very potent in concentration. Reminds me a little of Tocade, but more complicated.

Classic Floral Beauty!
Review is for vintage parfum en flacon, likely from the 50s.
No notes are published anywhere, but this is for sure a floral musk powerhouse. There's a hint of spicy, clove-y rose/carnation which indicates a nice dollop of isoeugenol. I get almond/powder...
