Yellow peaches spread over a light suede
The warm, milky peach hue of the opening reminds me a little of Trèsor (Lancôme), Dolce Vita (Dior) or even Champs-Elysées (Guerlain), all of which I wore as a young woman, so immediately this scores high on the likeability factor. Evening Edged in Gold is a soft, plummy-peachy suede framed by a ruffled cuff of small spring flowers, honeysuckle, and early jasmine. The osmanthus accent is a bit player, not the star, as its delicate apricot skin nuances are swamped by the darker, jammier plum or peach note.
A very sweet, insistent musk brings up the rear. Very pretty, and the nostalgia factor gives my heart a quick tug, but realistically, if I want something like this (soft, fruity suede), I can turn to several fragrances already in my collection, such as Daim Blond (Serge Lutens) or Bottega Veneta EDP (Bottega Veneta). It does have me hankering for a new bottle of Champs-Elysées, though
