    Another beautiful classic perfume. I love that it is not only beautiful but it does not smell like anything that is current today. I do not see this as an old-fashioned or old lady fragrance. It...

    Private Collection is a most delicious, enticing, voluptuous, sexy, ELEGANT, and strong (think character) scents that I have ever smelt. It was my signature fragrance in the 1980s, and I have never...
