Buy Mistake
Don't make the mistake of buying it just because it's cheap, like I did, and sounds good.. Make sure you enjoy aldehydes and lily of the valley, both of which are strong here. For me this is very chemical and threatens to close my nasal passages. If you're not so affected and don't mind the two notes mentioned, then this fragrance might appeal. It certainly is complex with many notes--usually a good thing, IMO. In this case, though, "everything but the kitchen sink" reeks in a not good way. Washing it off.

Originally beautiful
The original release - an eau de parfum, by the way - smelled wonderfully spicy and seductive. A floral tale of the very best kind. It had something Christmassy, spicy and fruity, but was also floral at the same time. It's hard to describe. When I wore it, people would say, hmmm, that smells delicious here and wanted to know what smelled so good.
in 1994, the Giorgio brand, which was originally founded by Fred Hayman and others, was sold for the second time, this time to Procter and Gamble (who also ran down the Hugo Boss, Laura Biagiotti and Otto Kern brands) for 150 million dollars and from that point on (I would say), the quality of the brand and its products went rapidly downhill. After further sales of the trademark rights and the associated reformulations and cheap splurges, the fragrance became an unbearably synthetic slurry that barely resembled the original product and even made me sick at one point, so that I had to part with my favorite perfume with a heavy heart. It had become unbearable, both metaphorically and concretely speaking. Well, that's how it can go.

PS: The rating refers to the original fragrance from 1989. For what you get today, even one star is too many.

Cabaret
So smells a cabaret.
Lushly applied, cherry-red lipstick, the face quickly powdered again before it goes out on the old boards that mean the world.
The store is not in the Vonehmsten area of Paris, but here celebrates a very own nobility every night: hard-as-nails professionals are who know who they are and that life is ultimately finite and a lot of beautiful appearance, which is served here with hard work and passion, and not too little of it. In the dusty spotlight they challenge the meaninglessness of everyday life, night after night. Actors, dancers, singers, acrobats celebrate being alive. And the audience celebrates with them.
And when the old doorman, who still knew Josephine Baker personally, locks the door at 5 in the morning, he only sometimes remembers the many colleagues, and the one or other visitor, who have been in and out of here. Those were the days! Fortunately, they are not quite over yet!

A super, classically conceived floral spicy chypre. Cherry-fruity, floral notes, with a bit of powdery dustiness and deep woody, mossy base. The occasion must be right, then this expressive fragrance is stunning.

A floriental that starts fruity, slightly sweet with a hint of orange flowers and ylang-ylang then dries down all too woody, musky and amber
