  A special and little-known perfume that was given to me years ago and I liked quite a bit. It’s a peculiar scent, between sweet and floral, I’d even say it had a spicy touch. If you want something different, I recommend it.

  Super pro this fragrance. It’s very similar to Joop Femme, but here the white flowers dominate, whereas in the other one a wonderful wood accord stands out with animalic, urine-like nuances. They have a lot in common; this one even reminds me of Gaultier’s Fleur du Male. It’s an incredibly cheap and delicious perfume, a nuclear white floral, opulent, rich, dense, with a curious cold light tone and a balsamic edge that kept it from being heavy. Highly recommended.

  Since tennis is my favorite sport, back in ’89, when I was young and curious, I heard this perfume on a friend, a party companion for dancing with friends and beers (gin tonics and mojitos were too expensive for our weekly allowance). One night I asked what she was wearing and she said: ‘it’s a new one by a tennis player, Gabriela Sabatini’. I was surprised and thought that, being by a star, it must be good. And it really is: it’s complex, dense, and has excellent performance. My friend left a huge trail with a warm, strong but pleasant floral-vanilla scent. Years have passed; recently we had coffee and still have the same friendship and desire for fun, although now we live more for meals than for nightlife. She told me: ‘you know? I’m thrilled, I bought the Gabriela Sabatini perfume again on sale. I’m happy. I’ve never worn a more comfortable perfume…’. And she’s right. It’s a good fragrance, a survivor from an era of dense and rich perfumes, with a fantastic quality/price ratio. My happy friend and I delighted that she wears it. It’s different, exclusive, with a wide trail and very personal. Great taste on Sabatini’s part to release it. Besides, she’s always been a good friend to me. Beautiful and great athlete. When she beat Arantxa or Conchita, I got mad, that’s for sure…haha. But when she beat Steffi or Monica, I enjoyed it. Oh my God, what times. Sometimes I like to remember, as my mother says: ‘Remembering is living again’. Anyway, a good fragrance at a great price and distinct.

  This perfume arrived today; in its dry-down you can appreciate the bergamot, jasmine, and oakmoss. It’s a feminine fragrance, eighties-style, little known but worth trying. In my opinion, it works for any season because it’s not overwhelming. The price is excellent and the quality is very good. The trail is medium-low on me and I’m still discovering the longevity.

  I really love the bergamot, it’s a bit retro and feels distinguished. I know it from Alien by Mugler and it feels similar to that. It’s sweet and warm, perfect for winter, although I wore it at the gym and it doesn’t suffocate.

  Maybe I was just influenced by knowing it’s by a sports star, but the opening felt fresh and ‘athletic’, very soft. I was worried it wouldn’t smell like anything at all, like with Light Blue, but this is a different story. It evolved into something herbal, a different opening than usual. Then, in the heart notes, that annoying patchouli made me squint. I’d forgotten I was at the finals; as often happens, that note invades and devours everything without waiting its turn, appearing minutes after the dry-down and not going away. I couldn’t distinguish another note, but I admit I didn’t put in my best effort because it repelled me completely. It doesn’t smell different at all with this, quite the opposite, it becomes generic and nothing sophisticated. A pity, since I wanted to smell classic and sober.

  Maybe I was just influenced by knowing it’s a sport fragrance, but honestly, the opening felt fresh and ‘athletic,’ very soft; I even worried I wouldn’t smell anything at all, like what happened with Light Blue, but that’s another story. The perfume evolved later, first into something herbal, really a different opening than usual. When I hit the heart notes… that annoying patchouli scent made me squeeze my eyes shut with a facepalm. I’d forgotten that note was in the dry down. As most of the time in my case, that note invades and devours everything; it doesn’t even wait its turn patiently. No, it appears a few minutes after drying and doesn’t go away. I couldn’t distinguish any other note or variation, but I admit I didn’t try hard because the fragrance repelled me completely from that point on. It definitely doesn’t seem like a different scent to me; on the contrary, it becomes generic and unsophisticated. What a pity, since I wanted to smell classic and sober with this perfume.

  Got it today after falling for its vintage miniature, but I have to say it’s been reformulated. At first, the aldehydes hit harder, and the vanilla notes come through much more after the floral bouquet. Now it smells sweeter than before (which doesn’t make it worse, just different), I guess to suit current tastes. The woody sandalwood is creamier now and has lost some punch; with 7-8 sprays, I barely smell it, whereas a few drops from the miniature left a stronger trail. Still, it’s a rich scent and I’ll enjoy it.

  Got it today after falling in love with its scent in a vintage miniature, and I have to say it’s been reformulated. Upon application, I notice more aldehydes, and now the vanilla notes are much more prominent after the white flower bouquet. It smells sweeter than before (which doesn’t make it worse, just different); I imagine it’s aimed at fitting current tastes better. The woody sandalwood has become creamier and lacks even a fraction of the potency of the small bottle I own. I sprayed 7-8 times and barely noticed it, whereas a few drops from the miniature left a much stronger trail. Still, it’s a rich scent and I’ll enjoy it.
