| MESSAGE BY MARY ALICE |
| I ordered 24 based solely on the great reviews and descriptions posted here. We live in Maine and there is a shortage of places to try these fragrances before buying. At first, I thought I had made a huge mistake. On my skin, the top notes were sharp and bitter. My first inclination was to head to the sink, but my husband persuaded me to wait because he smelled something delicious underneath the bitterness. He was right. This fragrance quickly became warm and sophisticated with a beautiful fusion of amber, vanilla and woody floral. I think the initial sharpness may have been the orange but that softened and melted into the rest of the notes and added that bit of edginess that makes this perfume so different from my other floral vanillas. I can't really liken this to anything else I have tried. It has a few of the sweet pleasant notes of Estee Lauder's Knowing without the smokiness, but it is so much better (IMO) than Knowing. I think I will wear it when I have a special night out or when I'm meeting my best friend for lunch in a nice little bistro and I want to "out-style" her. I won't tell her what is is either! By the way, it lasted all night on my skin and that is significant given our cold climate and my dry skin. Thanks for the great descriptive reviews that steered me in the direction of 24 Faubourg, Paris. |
