Minneapolis 5.3 Berceuse Parfum

Albeit certainly and unarguably feminine leaning in its opening plushness, there is an air not too dissimilar to my "unofficial" non-Chant Lauder pairing of Lauder for Men/Knowing (a la Devin/Aliage, 900/AE, etc.) without the latter's tuning-fork-to-the-skull effects. The plushness of the aldehydes and floral notes subside, and we are left with a hypnotic soapy iris/vanillic sweetened suede. I think JTD would have certainly enjoyed a write-up on this one.

Never "powdery", but certainly "perfumey" that becomes "cologne-y". Will never become a blockbuster, but as Will C. stated: that isn't the point here.

There's something here for passionate collectors - for everyone else: no "manly" men should fear that in their wardrobes, nor fear wearing it out. Don't be afraid of Chanel 1957 either...
