About this deal
OB frequently does that soapy thing on me, and I’m certain I wouldn’t enjoy soapy saddles on my wrist. Observe carefully and share your opinions with the rest of the community by posting your perfume review. Geminesse features notes that are still used in today’s fragrances, which include notes of leather, vetiver, musk, oakmoss, jasmine, amber, muguet, ylang-ylang, citruses, rose and tuberose. My mum used to use Propert’s saddle soap on our old leather furniture and that was a beautiful scent…great tin, too.
So far from what I’ve tried, the original Bottega Veneta is still my favorite floral leather of all time.It encapsulates everything about that time period and will have you feeling as though you are lying by the beach in the 1970s. I was surprised by how often I reached for it as I always thought I preferred bolder ‘saddle’ type leathers to its soft notes .
Instead of the watery ozone scents found in most fresh and flirty fragrances, this perfume features a leather and floral blend sitting on a musk and amber base. I did really like Cuir de Lancôme for a time, but overapplied and overwore it so have to build up an “absence makes the heart grow fonder” appreciation again.We’re The Fragrance Warehouse; the retailer here to provide you with the latest fragrances and cosmetics. Hermes Cuir d’Ange is very pretty, too, and I’m still wearing it carefully since getting over a cold so I can truly appreciate it. I’m curious about these rereleases from Prism Parfums and appreciate your taking the time to review them, even if I haven’t smelled the originals. In any case, even if you simply use Geminesse to make your Ford Fiesta smell a bit more like a Rolls Royce, it won’t break the bank.
We hope you will find this information helpful on your road to finding a solid fragrance to your liking. The sad part is that top notes usually last very short, somewhere in the range of a few minutes up to 15 minutes. I never thought about the relationship between Esprit d’Oscar and Cuir d’Ange–it never entered my mind.But it was in some ways a product of the time, nascent 1970's feminism - independence and MTM and the man tailored suit - taken over by the full-blown oriental siren song of the 1980's and the attendant soutache, and Dynasty-esque shoulder pads. I was starting to get excited about this one (I love Cuir de Lancome and Jolie Madame, and I wear Kelly Caleche edp fairly often as well) until you said “orange blossom” and “soapy. I can’t scent my linen cupboard with sandalwood soap (the really strong stuff you get from Indian grocers) because my son complains so much. Violet and heliotrope are, however, so I’m not sure if I’m smelling leather or if it’s facets of the violet translating as such. The powdery dry down is still there and it has a certain retro nostalgia that other floral leathers like Kelly Caleche do not have.
