  Yesterday I was hunting for vintage perfumes and stumbled upon Sophia by Coty, the one I had completely forgotten about. Seeing it again brought back my emotions and memories, because scents always carry a weight of memory that makes you travel through time. Sophia, one of the first celebrity perfumes of the eighties, featuring the sensual Sophia Loren on the bottle. I thought it would smell of pure sensuality, but I was wrong; it exudes the elegance of a society lady, an educated woman, sober and refined, understated yet palpable, like a panther circling you without you realizing it. It starts strong with aldehydes and citrus notes like lemon, bergamot, and lime, a bit aggressive at first, but then comes the breeze of intense roses, striking jasmine, and valley lilies, with a base of incredible woods like cedar. Every time you wear it, it surprises you with a new accord; the magic is endless. It’s elegant, timeless, clean, powdery, and floral, always highlighting the rose. It never smells cheap; it’s on par with Chanel No. 5, Lanvin Arpege, or Laroche Fidji. I love how perfumes unearth old memories, and I hope this style makes a comeback, but above all, that it’s appreciated for what it truly is.
