More for Cheerleaders Than Femmes Fatales
Nanadebary CLASSIC PINK is a simple, slightly sweet and spicy sandalwood scent to my nose. I also smell cedar, but the florals are shrouded by the spices and wood. I'd call this composition an oriental woody, not a floral woody musk, as the florals and the musk are pretty difficult to discern. CLASSIC PINK seems unisex to me, in part because of the detectable nutmeg note, which blends nicely with the woods.
Everything seems very well thought out and perfectly measured, but there's no real passion here. CLASSIC PINK is very smooth and likeable--with low sillage and good longevity--but may be too tame and well-behaved to please a true femme fatale such as the vixen depicted on the bottle. Something along the lines of Mauboussin HISTOIRE D'EAU might be more her speed...

I no longer have my sample, but I can say that at the time I tested this fragrance, I was not reminded of D&G Sicily in the least. I found it to be pretty standard--no aldehydes, or I'd have mentioned it, I think.

I read somewhere that this reminded one reviewer of Caress Soap, like Dolce & Gabbana's Sicily. Do you detect any soapy notes or that same aldehyde mixture that is in D&G's Sicily?
