So I would say that the dry down is rather woodsy but the vanilla gives it a creaminess and helps in the longevity. And as I haven't read the beginning of the book since last October or thereabouts, I am a bit sketchy about some of the details, hence why I have deliberately not used the word 'review' in the title of this post. The vintage bottle resembles the same one for L'Origan and was reissued in the 1980's as a spray cologne.

I have a new version of it and there are only traces of what it once was, it does remind me a bit of an 80's version of Climat (the small 5ml bottle with the black cap), this smells too much like hair spray and it puts me off. My mother never actually wore perfume, but she did receive a few bottles of L'Aimant in the 50s and early 60s.Prada fragrances offer a complete range of olfactive possibilities to explore and express the multidimensions of one’s identity, from the well-established Luna Rossa Collection for men to the new signature feminine fragrance by Prada, Paradoxe Eau de Parfum. I must say, however, that it is a tribute to the readability of 'Coming to My Senses' that you could read any random section again and again and enjoy it just as much each time - for the understated lyricism of the language as much as the story of Alyssa's 'perfume journey', or the preparations for her wedding, which forms the climactic centrepiece of the book. So, if you use L'Aimant body spray, talc and body-cream after your shower and then have a spray of Chanel No 5 parfum de toilette as a top-layer, nobody would ever guess you were wearing two different scents. Much speculation exists as to whether or not Coty got hold of the Chanel no 5 formula or even that Coty had it originally and no 5 was the copy?

I happen to love fragrances like that because it matches up with my white skin while in the bath tub and this fragrance being older provides it with better projection. This wonderful creation deserves to be made from quality ingredients that will provide him with great sillage and longevity.

Then, I realize that there are beauties waiting unappreciated and unworn right in my own collection.

I don't know that I'd wear this outside, but it's a comfy, rainy day in the house kind of scent for me.
