Pour Une Femme--d'un certain âge...
Parfums DelRae COUP DE FOUDRE opens with a scrumptious resinosity which is only barely citrus to my nose and not very sweet either, making this true rose lover's perfume distinct from both the fruitier moderns (such as STELLA and YR ROSE ABSOLUE) and the rosebush varieties (TEA ROSE and countless others...).
So I find that COUP DE FOUDRE is neither young lady nor old lady. Maybe respectably middle-aged--something like First Lady Michelle Obama? In any case, I like this composition, and it lasts a very long time on my skin, though I should add that it moves closer to a more dowagery rose by the drydown. What I really appreciate in this composition, though, is the opening, a stage which is sadly all too fleeting...
