A true gem,

Dear Ola sent me this fragrance (the EdT) as a little extra.
I still have the "old" mini, with the flower on the cap, as seen in the video at the end.

It starts off delicately floral, with hints of bergamot, but only very subtle.
I can only smell the roses and lily of the valley when I hold my nose very close to my wrist. It has more of a skin scent, the sillage isn't really strong, which surprises me a bit, as the fragrances from the 80s were quite "punchy".

But no matter, there is something surprisingly woody in the middle of the development, probably cedar and sandalwood, really nice, as a little bit of vanilla comes in at the end.
I don't find it too sweet, but rather with a feminine touch.

Thus, the fragrance has something to offer for everyone. Fruity, woody, and vanillic. Isn't that nice?

Thank you dear Ola for this gem from your truly well-stocked fragrance cabinet!

Seems like a typical Max Factor from that time. They weren't that great.
Sounds very pretty.

Sounds exciting and maybe even appealing for men; the bottle is pretty too, it slightly reminds me of Dali fragrances.
