    Love this scent. Very spicy, mysterious kind of a scent. Such a blast from the past.

    This is a bit too powdery for me, and there's something dull about the scent. But it's a favorite for all time, because it makes me think of my mom, because this was one of her standby fragrances...

    This French classic is one of my favorite scents and I will definetily buy it again. Negative is the price and the new flacon, whic I don´t like as much as the old one.

    Update: I _loved_ Shalimar for the first to weeks after I got it, but have no desire for it whatsoever anymore. The first notes are so powdery and wonderful--I smell a delicate <i>mariage</i> of...

    I have a miniature bottle of this, and have mixed feelings about it. The powder and vanilla are a bit strong for my taste. However, I recently tried the hair gel (available only in Europe from...

    Always disliked this in the EDT; but tried it the other day in the parfum version, and my hat is off to DianeL. Absolutely yes, a big difference; less powder and none of the almost musty notes I'd...

    I don't like this! It reminds me of old lady perfume. It's powdery--sorta reminds me of Chanel #5. I just don't like it.

    Elegant, elegant, elegant! This is one of those classics by the people who know perfume! The first spritz/sniff might be a bit much/heady, but it's worth the wait. A classic staple I feel for...

    I'm biased towards powdery scents, and this is no exception. Many people associate this fragrance with 'old women' but when you lose the hype and image and just wear it, it is a sweet, heady, soft,...
