I have always enjoyed fragrances of all sorts.In the past, I have always blind bought my perfumes.My earliest choices always gravitated to wards green perfume like Yardley's Lily of the Valley & Gucci envy.I also used Yardley's Lace, Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, Revlon Fire & Ice.
In the past 10 years, I have tended to use, floral orientals & white florals. In a quest to try new things, I am going to purchase & try perfumes in each perfume group & I will give my update here. Yesterday I received my first 4 samples from the woody group.They are:
1.Mediterranean by Elizabeth Arden - Woody Floral musk
2. Aoud Lime Montale -Woody Spice
3. Gypsy Water Byredo - Woody Aromatic
4. Mandragore Pourpre Annick Goutal - Woody Spicy
I have already tried out the Aoud Lime. the opening in non technical language smells like new leather.Its a pretty loud opening.The perfume was still going strong.After 3 hours, the scent dried down to skin scent & only rose scent is discernible at this point. The silage is not that great. I will wear it all day tomorrow & update this blog.xxx
Update!
Aoud Lime is an OK perfume. Silage is not great.Its safe for work.Might be a good one to layer with other perfumes.
Mediterranean by Elizabeth Arden is a safe & generic smelling perfume.Not much projection here.It is good for its price point.
Gypsy Water Byredo - This smells good opening is quite citrusy. Not much projection , it quickly dries down to skin scent.Not worth buying for the price.
Mandragore Pourpre Annick Goutal
This smells good.I am considering purchasing a full bottle.
