The 'tobacco' felt like having been macerated with pepper and some sandalwood that cut off some of that ruggedness, but when mixed with lily . The second fragrance, L'Air du Temps, remains the label's best selling perfume; a bottle is sold every ten seconds around the world. Not an unpleasant scent but very, very soapy and easily recognisable as something popular with over 70s. It becomes woody and musky as it fades, becoming a sweet amber skin scent with just a whisper of oakmoss apparent as it disappears.

To Hannibal, Clarice Starling smells like hope for humanity and looking forward to what life has to offer even after horrible trauma! At the base of this timeless, sophisticated fragrance is seductive iris enwrapped the sensuality of sandalwood and the warmth of cedar and vetiver to create the iconic and long-lasting trail. They don’t smell the same to me, the notes vary slightly in all of them, but there’s enough similarity that if you like one, chances are you might like the others.

This tells a story for me all the vintage Ricci tells a story of a woman who walks around a garden under the sun and comes across all sorts of florals and plants. I was very attracted to it because of the beautiful design, it was (and is) so rare, and probably that was the reason why I couldn´t resist playing with it. If you get the extrait it's a sweeter, less powdery, more liquified version of it in it's purest form that's the best.

The fragrance is round, airy, sophisticated, fine, slightly green the note that I adore the most, because it's a feminist green a little spicy, a little sober and serious and to the final have something myrrh a strong note that came become to much in hot weather. I wear it very infrequently now, but carnation has been a favorite flower scent for me since I was a teenager, and L’air du Temps is a carnation lover’s dream. L’air Du Temps blends into the personality of each woman to bring out her sensual charm and refinement, like a poetical breath of fresh air it portrays a serene and assertive femininity.i wonder if i should've gotten a tester of the EDP and not the EDT as i tend to love both a carnation note and vintage fragrances.
