Florence Desire For Women - 0232

The first moment I smelled the oil version I knew I was going to love this perfume. The original was created in 2004. But in my opinion it's just as fresh and modern as any of the best spring and summer scents on the market today. It's described as a fruity, floral chypre. I'm not a fan of the trend for fruity, very sweet, vanilla and bakery spice laden scents. This is the complete opposite - a sophisticated, modern chypre with well blended fruit notes that develop into floral notes. To my nose rose seems to dominate. I also catch an occasional scent of the stems of cut flowers. A really great spring/summer scent. The fade out is a mild, musky scent with the florals still lingering. It's a bright, vibrant scent that I find really uplifting. It's considered a youthful scent. But to my mind it's for anyone 25+. On my skin the projection is ideal. I can smell the scent and anyone who gets within 1 or 2 feet of me can as well. It's also long lasting on my skin. It has definitely become one of my many favourites from PP. So I'm in the process of ordering more.

I bought this purely for the nostalgia factor, as this used to be my girly everyday scent in my late teens. It's very similar to the original, however I feel like it's heavier on the tonka / teakwood / tobacco notes. Which isn't such a bad thing, overall. A bit more mature perhaps.

Very close to original fragrance.
A summer smell ,light flower scent.

Absolutely overjoyed by the quality and scent. I bought the roll-on which are easy to keep in my bag. The Scent holds its strength throughout the day. Perfect

Bought spray for a friend. She loved it, said it was close to original.
