I just bought this a few days ago from Rite Aid, and I'm a bit obsessed with it. It's the newest Dana version, and it smells wonderful. The box had a sticker on it that said "New Look, Same Scent"....

Ahhhh, so good! A timeless, comforting, clean-yet-sexy scent. Among my all-time faves. Chantilly was omnipresent during my childhood in the '70s and '80s. The women in my family were very fond of...

Hmm. I'm torn with this one.
I purchased a sample of this as I love both iris and lily of the valley.
Top notes are bergamot, pink pepper, rose, lily-of-the-valley and pear; middle notes are...

I love this! It doesn't bring to mind mom memories or even grandma memories as neither of these wonderful ladies wore this. I just smelled it the other day and fell in love. I left it at the store...

This is a beautiful and very feminine perfume! Huge sillage, so a little goes a long way.
It's pricey but worth it!

I consider Houbigant Raffinee to be THE reference perfume for Heavy, Baroque, Go-Big-or-Go-Home '80s Orientals. It's great stuff, but only if you're up for a magnificent wallop of orange blossom,...
