I bought this purely out of curiosity and nostalgia when I saw it dirt cheap in the discontinued section of a small online perfumerie. It smells like dry, aromatic amber with a musky base and a distinct animal edge. It feels quite vintage. For some reason, it reminds me of Revlon’s Ciara, differing mainly by lacking its sweetness, although it does become very slightly sweeter as it dries down. On me, it has moderate projection and lasts about 5 hours on skin, but it’s huge on clothes, where the animal note really shines. My bottle doesn’t have a sprayer; I don’t know if it ever came with one. Scent: 6/10, Longevity: 5/10, Sillage: 6.5/10, Value: 6/10, Versatility: 5.5/10, Packaging: 4/10. Would I buy it again? Maybe.

This was my perfume in my youth—I can’t remember how many bottles I went through, but I absolutely loved it and identified with it! Recently I found it at a neighborhood perfumerie having a clearance sale due to closing. I bought six bottles at a ridiculous price; the guy practically gave them to me. They still had prices listed in pesetas. It’s just so incredibly pleasant. On my skin, it’s soft and slightly powdery, like a vanity soap. Bless the 80s! Things were done so well back then. Great sillage and better longevity, even though it’s an EDT. Bless.
