Well, this is what happens when I buy eau de toilettes that I like for a very picky wife. So we have here two very fine women's EdTs for sale. First is Domenico Caraceni 1913 Loren. It is an Oriental floral fragrance inspired by and named after Sophia Loren and harkening back to the "big" perfumes of the 1980s. It is said to have curves and presence, coming into a room with a bang but tasteful, carrying itself with grace and dignity. The first notes are sweet white floral voluptuousness, but there is a delicate berry note underneath, which doesn't make the scent any sweeter but in fact cuts through the sweetness with a gentle tangyness. The base notes feature a return of the creamy florals, enriched by the presence of amber and opoponax. Top notes are white flowers, mandarin orange, black currant, peach, and coconut; middle notes are dried fruits, plum, honey, and heliotrope; base notes are opopnoax, amber, and vanilla. This comes in a 100ml bottle, which is 95% full. It does not have a cap. It retails for $94.49 and up, and I'm asking $55 $45 shipped CONUS. Second is Guerlain Mitsouko, created in 1919 and inspired by the heroine of a French novel that tells the story of an impossible love between a Japanese admiral's wife and a British officer in 1905, during the war between Russian and Japan. It is a mysterious fragrance, with a long opening note that starts as if from a distance and builds in intensity and sensuality. It has cool top notes and oak moss in the base, but it also has a note of juicy peach, which gives a clear and quite gourmand nuance. It features bergamot, peach, jasmine, May rose, cinnamon, oak moss, vetiver, and wood. The fragrance is described as unusual and elegant, exuberant, not too sweet nor too heavy, well balanced. This comes in a 93ml bottle, which is 85-90% full. It retails for $68.99 and up, and I'm asking $40 $30 shipped CONUS. SOLD on eBay. ![]() ![]() John "Well, as long as the collar and cuffs match...." |
