I can’t stand the oakmoss…

Love Story 1984, what a romantic name and gorgeous bottle. It’s a classic 80s floral chypre that reminds me a lot of Diorissimo. Patchouli runs through the entire composition with mastery; if I had to add something, I’d ask: why don’t they include the leather note so typical of these perfumes? Technically, for chemistry lovers (isobutyl quinolines), it’s super obvious, right? Those who know its effects will perceive it, just like a brushstroke of animalized notes from musks or flashes of castoreum at the dry-down, that’s my take.

Very rich fragrance, strong opening but dries down to be super fine and elegant. Lasts forever and I received lots of compliments. Just to clarify, I used the EDT and it was quite potent. I recommend it 100%.

I absolutely love this fragrance. I had it years ago as a gift and it impacted me so much that I always look for it when I run out; now I don’t like any others on my skin.

I just remembered I had this one this week. They gave me a small one and then my mom bought me a big one. Honestly, I loved it; I have such beautiful memories with it.

Exquisite, I love it, unique, delicious, and very long-lasting on my skin. It’s an aromatic world, I highly recommend it.
