I bought this fragrance right after testing it at Letu. It seemed so delicate and sweet to me, with a light powdery note, simply gorgeous. Unusual, without a loud opening like many modern perfumes, and without a heavy retro vibe. Although it was created in 1923, just a couple of years after the famous No. 5. This is truly an English scent, but it's more suitable for a young lady)) The first thing I felt, before I even studied the pyramid, was tea, vanilla, and flowers from a flowerbed. For an eau de toilette, it's quite long-lasting and sits close to the skin. It's the first time a tea scent has impressed me so much. It's truly amber and transparent, with a slight bitterness at the end. I adore it
This fragrance is clearly made for summer. In winter, when I tested it in the Novaya Zarya store, I couldn't catch a single note. I spent more than two hours there, coming back to it again and again, because that's what I came for. But now, in the summer, it unfolds gently and freshly. After a bright citrus opening, I smell neroli, jasmine, and violet, but I don't feel vetiver at all, if it's even there. It reminds me of African Ball - the same notes and the same femininity. For me, it's sweetish and a bit powdery. Its longevity is average, but I really liked it 🌸
For me, this fragrance is simply explosive and incredibly long-lasting. I could barely wash it off my hands. This is the only perfume where I truly understood what patchouli is. Novaya Zarya seems to add it to every one of their fragrances - you can smell it right at the entrance to the store. The scent is truly heavy, unique, unlike anything else. Spicy-floral, pompous, clearly feminine, and with gothic notes. Flowers and roots give it sweetness. It reminds me of the good old steampunk days, when wood smelled like wood, and flowers like flowers, smog and stable stench hung in the air, and no one knew about synthetic vanilla. The name of this masterpiece fits perfectly. It reflects old aristocratic St. Petersburg in a corset, with an umbrella and a hat. I hope that over time it will become more wearable
On me, this fragrance unfolds like soap. Or even like soap suds. It's quite bright and pleasant, but a bit suffocating. Osmanthus in perfumes just kills me, and combined with narcissus, you can't smell anything else at all. Honestly, I don't understand why everyone raves about it
This fragrance is simply AMAZING! It fills you with energy and joy. In summer, it'll be a real discovery, and in winter, it feels like a cozy, warm cloud that embraces you. It's incredible how it can warm the soul. Simply magnificent
The rose in this fragrance, in my opinion, is too cloyingly sweet and smells somewhat unnatural. Maybe it hasn't fully developed yet, but I feel like the musk and rose are living in different worlds. Honestly, I'm completely bewildered by this scent. The longevity also leaves much to be desired
In my opinion, this is just a copy of Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel. The scent is absolutely identical, only it lasts worse. It smells almost the same, but not as multifaceted, a bit more monotonous. Where is its uniqueness? Why is this needed 😒

In Turkic languages, this expression really sounds quite rude 😅 I wonder if the marketers were aware of that when choosing the name. My mom had this fragrance for a long time, along with Climat and Ma...
