After the incident in the bowling alley, I'm now associating this perfume with old ladies in the bowling alley. I read the reviews on it before I baught it, Id thought I would love it, but this sent is proff in point you can go over the top with Earthy Orientals, This sent had no softness no femininity no, no sweetness, and not much personality. A quick glance at the notes listed didn't reveal anything too horrendous, so I added this to my Christmas list and waited.I understand that what I smell is slightly or even totally different from the original formulas, but I definetely believe that this fragrant is a piece of art for it's own sake if not compared to anything, not even to it's origins. It is an earthy, dark green, very heavy hitter with what feels to me, a cucumber-like note at the top. Crisp green leaves, resinous marigold, and bright carnation are layered over the deep and earthy oakmoss. r/fragrance is an inclusive, adult community for discussing finished retail perfumes and other scented personal and home-care products. These exact properties are demonstrated by the fragrances from this manufacturer, which are available as an eau de toilette spray for women and men.

Like Deb Martinez, what I mostly get is a soapy scent (like Lux soap) and a bit of spice, which may or may not be carnation. I can't believe I missed out on this scent in its heydey, although I might not have been able to afford it back then.When I get to be an old lady someday, I hope to remember not to wear strong perfume during the day in an enclosed bowling alley with bad air circulation. Fresh chypre fragrance that could never be copied, with minty and woody notes that soften after a few hours and remain sweet smelling for days-especially on clothes. Sure enough, on Christmas morn, I spotted the wrapped perfume-sized box and with anticipation of being transported into floral rapture, I eagerly open the package and found. I'd say alcohol free version smells more like body oil or balm, it's more powdery, just like a reminiscence of "normal" version, which is deep, dark, dense green chypre with impressive sillage and longevity.

I received a decant from a new bottle of Halston back in 2011 and it bore only a slight resemblance to the original, and I'd harbor a guess that that's still the case. She has him smell oud, which he deems as "cow manure" (he's from Indiana) and he irritably gives up on the process. Creative licence is taken here, but Halston's scenes with Vera Farmiga's perfumer from IFF reflect the power of scent, the personal memories it evokes, and the craftsmanship that goes into perfume creation.It could be that Halston has an unpleasant personal association for you, but it might literally be the chemical makeup. A beautiful, elegant, complex classic which, quite unfortunately, I cannot wear due to a consistent headache-response that is in opposition to the way the fragrance pleases me in all other ways.
