I'm getting honeyed florals and the feeling like I've been smoking and the scent has been left in my clothes. Not the acrid smoke smell, but the good smell of someone who may have been around someone who smokes or does smoke and they are wearing fur or leather with this beautiful perfume that overwhelms the smoke, leaving one to believe the smokiness was a part of the fragrance all along. More like a tobacco leaf smokey, somewhat greenish undertones, just this side of an ashtray trace. It does initially start off a bit sharp but that doesn't last long. IT takes no time to down shift into this honeyed smokey-light tobacco scent that could be worn by any adult. I think I will have to repurchase the former version to make a comparison as my memory of that one is faded since I last wore it in the '80's. @jazzfan . . . yes, I get the soapiness also.
Received this today,after a long time contemplating the purchase of this. Sniffed it one time (newer version in round bottle,as shown). I liked it alot ! So, I bought one on eBay for a great price. Well, I was sent the "older" version instead !! This is one of the rare cases that I prefer the "newer version" over the "older version". I will not be returning it...but..I will sniff the newer version again to compare the 2 side-by side. The older version is heavier on the honey note...obscuring the tuberose effect. The newer version seems to be more tuberose-ish...and lighter overall. The dry-down of the older version is awesome. So...I remain "on the fence" about this one. I will say it is an impressive scent.Classic vibe. Projection and sillage are worthy...longevity is also very good. This also needs time to develop on the skin..like many "classic scents". Patience is required to fully experience this. Maybe I just like the bottle style of the newer version more....LOL !....the mind can play tricks like that... Overall....a 8/10 scent for me so far....further wearings needed. 8/10
Bitter, just very very bitter. I don't smell the sweetness of honey in this at all. Just earthy, woody, greeness gone bitter.
Guys. You will love this juice
Another cheapie I really hadn't heard of, so I blind bought. I have not sniffed the original, and I find Ted L to be kinda "meh" as a brand. (I did not like Rumba or Silk Way-- they just don't work on me and come off as cheap/cloying) LOVE this for 1-2 hours. Mmmm.... It's perfect... a dirty earthy chypre, floral and mossy. But... then it dries down to a rather generic 80s floral "yellow" smell. The drydown, indeed, reminds me of Diva and the like/era. The dirty/earth does remind me of Magie Noir. That is the part I love best because I don't have Magie Noir yet. Sillage and longevity was good, not great, but good. Must love moss! And I do!
