Vintage is always an interesting topic. Some find specimens in excellent condition, while others encounter less fortunate ones. This fragrance genuinely has an initial scent of earth and roots, but then it quickly fades, and violet comes to the forefront. I'm certainly no expert in notes, but I have real violets from Crimean forests growing in my garden, and their scent is simply amazing. They've grown so much, they're unstoppable! Their scent is the same as in this perfume. Perhaps at the beginning, there really is an earthy smell, as it's a forest violet that you can smell along with its leaves and roots. <br><br>Overall, the impression of the fragrance is quite unusual. It's very beautiful, delicate, and realistic, but unfortunately, not very long-lasting. There's almost no sillage, and wearing it, in my opinion, won't work. It's better to just enjoy it and pass it on to others so they can also appreciate the beauty that was created in the past. The lack of longevity is probably due to its age. On me, the fragrance lasted about two hours, and in the last hour, I had to try hard to catch anything. For its beauty, I'd give it a five. Violet is definitely present here! And to wear it now? If the longevity were better, then, of course, yes. Maybe someone will be lucky enough to find a good specimen

I was looking for a fragrance for a man to add a bit of intimacy to our evenings. In the end, I chose this one, although I hesitated between several options from Klein and D&G. If not for the consultant, who was a man, I wouldn't have even paid attention to it. I wanted the scent to be delicate, fresh, and not overpower my quiet, feminine one with its intoxicating jasmine. But from the very first seconds, a powerful core is felt. The fragrance is truly fresh, like opening a window on a frosty day, but it enters softly, bringing sweet tea and a barely perceptible lemon sparkle. By the end, a warm cedar is felt, playing with the tea and scattered mint. It feels like sitting by the fireplace with aromatic tea, leaving a small crack in the frosty window. Cozy, fresh, but mostly the freshness and tea are felt
