Many years ago this was one of the first scents I bought from PP and it has remained a favourite over the years. I recently bought more. I've never smelled the original which translates as Water of Wonders. All I know Is that PP's similar scent is unique in that it is a very feminite scent, but not a floral scent, although there is a hint of violet. It's what perfume makers call an amber scent. In this case a mild, amber scent. It's a very delicate, fresh, crisp, clean, soft scent that's perfect for the office and day wear, great for both warm and cold weather. At times I get a hint of freshly laundered linen. It has good sillage and longevity. I use the oil on my wrists because I find little dabs of oil easier than sprays to control the amount of projection. It has the other qualities that I want in a perfume. It doesn't shout. It purrs. It smells elegant, sophisticated, tasteful, and like it cost a lot of money. It's a great "reach for" day time perfume when you want a scent that will be liked by most people. It's a perfume for the 30+ woman. It's a scent that mature men seem to like. But if you're strictly into florals, then this probably isn't for you. But I wasn't into soft amber scents till I bought this. Thank you PP.
Gorgeous perfume.
Delicious citrus woody fragrance
Spot on. Have now ordered the spray.
I alternate this one with Crystalle, since it has a similar citrus /effervescent quality, but with added salty and spicy notes too. Simply gorgeous. Review based on spray.
