Wearable museum piece
I mean, this is a classic through and through and it still manages to score well in terms of versatility. I find that it interacts extremely well with skin and it has a clear but non-intrusive presence. Therefore it is wearable on pretty much any occasion.
The opening is quite an experience. Sweet-sour lemon candy powder is how I'd describe it. Utterly old-fashioned compared to modern fresh-citrus openings. But I'm a fan of dramatic entrances, so this is perfectly fine with me. Then the scent continues with a number of classical elements that manage to set a lively mood; slighty tangy maybe and totally dandy - again, big fan!
Even when the candy-like aspect settles down and a lavender-coumarin accord kicks in, the sweet powdery feel persists. The whole is carried by a mild Orien.. err.. ambery vanillin base and spiced up with a lovely civet note.
Although I can imagine that this does not appeal to the younger audience, this 'museum piece' is still more than relevant. Above all, a lesson in proper use of civet.

It really deserves an Oscar for such a well-done use of civet. A well-deserved cup.
