| [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]A complicated 1980's fragrance with musky undertones and beautiful staying power. Unfortunately, no longer in production, but there are remnants available for a king's ransom. A reasonably priced knock-off might tempt the illusion, drawing out a mischievous smile on those who don't forget perfection. |

| Three of my favourites.. though I have a basket-full of other fragrances to choose from. Chloe’s Narcisee.. is an Oriental Floral fragrance for women dominated by daffodil launched in 1992. The perfume is very feminine, sweet, but with a bitter note. It is very intense, so be careful about the amount you use. The nose behind this fragrance is IFF. Top notes are Apricot, Marigold, Peach, Orange Blossom, Pineapple and Violet; middle notes are Narcissus, Carnation, Spices, Gardenia, Rose Oil, Rose and Jasmine; base notes are Vanilla, Tolu Balsam, Sandalwood, Musk and Cedar. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]__ Bijan, by Bijan.. is a female Oriental Floral fragrance launched in 1986. It was created in the cooperation with Peter Bohm, and it opens in notes of ylang-ylang, narcissus, orange blossom, bergamot, neroli pimeto and basil. There is Persian jasmine, Bulgarian rose, lily-of-the-valley, carnation, honey, orrisroot and tuberose at the heart. The base brings Moroccan oakmoss, sandalwood, patchouli and cedar, amber, benzoin, heliotrope, musk, Tonka bean and vanilla. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]__ 1881, by Cerruti.. is a fragrance that became a classic of this designer’s house and was launched in 1995. Nino Cerruti, was known as "the youngest of the great classics," opened the first Cerruti boutique in Paris in 1967, on rue Royale. The first women's line appeared in 1976, achieving the reputation of impeccably elegant style. Cerutti perfumes are made of finest high-quality materials. That is why the perfumer chose a "fleur de lin" note that is Nino Cerruti's signature flower. Perfume was created by Claire Cain. Bottle is designed by Serge Mansau. The top notes are Mimosa, iris, Rose, Freesia, Violet, Lily-of-the-Valley, Jasmine and Bergamot; middle notes are Chamomile, iris, Narcissus, Geranium, Jasmine, Galbanum, Coriander, Brazilian Rosewood, Orange Blossom and Tuberose; base notes are Musk, Sandalwood, Cedar, Amber and Vanilla. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]__ My next fragrance buy.. but mainly for the bottle. ; ) [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

Prices are reasonable. The first two are very strong and heady.. potent in-fact, so only best for the night. The smell of them is very compelling to the senses. The third is light and floral and so good for daytime.. I ran out of it a long while ago and never replaced it back. It’s definitely worth replacing, so I shall be doing so next time I’m out. It’s a beautiful scent that like the above two, catches everyone’s nose. I have no idea what MJ’s Daisy is like, but I’m mainly in it for the bottle of which there are too many bottles/variations to choose from. Stunning! but MJ is known for his creativity.

| Wearing fragrance is easy—a little spritz, and you’re done. But wearing fragrance well requires a little more skill and finesse. For example: Did you know that correct placement depends entirely on both the environment in which it’s worn and the outfit for which it accessorizes? And that tendency you have toward dressing your wrists and then rubbing them together? “Very bad.” Where you put perfume matters, too. “Don’t cover it up with your clothing, instead target areas exposed to the air: the pulse points of the neck and the wrists or inner elbows, if you’re wearing a sleeveless blouse. The only exception, however, is if you’re in an intensely hot climate—then it’s best to not apply scent directly to your body. As you sweat, the natural oils of the skin [can] destroy your perfume faster. |
