Field Notes From Paris Ineke 2009

A few years ago I got a sample of this, deemed it "too floral", and tucked it away in a drawer. Several years pass, I give it another go, and wow! - while there was the same initial floral-heavy, citrusy opening - after 30 minutes or so it transitioned into the most lovely perfume. I couldn't stop smelling my arm (and kicking myself for judging this based on the opening alone). The coriander works really well with the remaining florals and warmth from the vanilla and leather - neither overpowering the other, this almost (but not quite) mimics something almond and gourmand. I make sure to spray it before I get dressed so it can settle in before I package up and head out for the day. A very pretty perfume.
