My name is Sophie

This perfume is so ME...
Starts with my favorite notes:neroli,bitter orange, bergamont,petite grain..all the elements of orange...orange flower,jasmine and ylang-ylang such a classical heart,along with the velvet touch of violet leaf...then sweetness of tonka bean,vanilla with a bit of incense ...magical....this is the epitome of the word "Les Secrets"!
I get some aldehyds at the opening which are not listed...
if i have to compare with another one perfume..i would say No5 ..yes, this is an new version of No5 a more orange-y one!!

Sophie's sweet secrets

Sophie is a mystery to me. Mistresses like to surround themselves with a bit of inscrutability, and since Sophie's surname is Guerlain, that only increases. For example, why does my recently acquired, apparently super rare bottle say "Secrets NOIR de Sophie"? I can't find any information on whether it is a variant (new German flanker) of the original "Secrets de Sophie" and why Parfumo combines the two.
But now to the fragrance:
Love.
But not a dark, black, mysterious one, as the little word "noir" would have us believe.
Sophie's little secret in the cute quadrilobe flacon is far too sweet for that.
Not sugary or sugary-sweet, not synthetic, but fruity in the top note and then powdery and almondy. If it weren't for the ylang-ylang and orange blossom notes, Sophie's Black Secret would be related to L'Instant Magic. If more vanilla had been mixed in, it would be more like Metallica.
But you can feel the pre-Jelk era. I would have thought Sylvaine Delacourte was behind it, but Parfumo says otherwise and unfortunately I'm not better informed to question that.
EGAL. The fragrance is fantastically beautiful, old-school Guerlain and a must have.
I am very happy to have found it.
