After having this scent discontinued, I starting looking for a replacement. Then it was brought back as L’initial, and then discontinued AGAIN! That put me on the hunt again. I was somehow led to this site and found this. I ordered it and I’m so glad i did. I got it earlier today.
I put it on and although the top notes are a bit more fruity at first, it’s settled within seconds to the very beautiful version I remember. The waxy iris and then the powdery vanilla. After wearing this the whole day it fooled me at times into thinking that I was wearing the original from 2011. It stopped me dead in my tracks and made me smile. I think i got my signature scent back!
Thank you!
I THINK I HAVE A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY. I WAS THINKING ALL THIS TIME THE OIL I HAD WAS SPI BUT I WAS WRONG UNLESS THE FORMULA HAS DRASTICALLY CHANGED. TOO BAD I CAN'T IDENTIFY THE OIL DUE TO THE LABEL COMING OFF AND THE WORDS SMUDGING BECAUSE I'D LOVE TO HAVE WHATEVER IT IS IN THE SPRAY FORM.
I just bought a bottle of Shalimar P.I from eBay and this is very similar, but with better longevity on my skin. Top notes are slightly more green and fruity, but it soon settles into a very convincing version.
