| This opens up very sweet but in a dense and slimy way that makes me dislike it instantly. Drydown is similar to Tsar but less elegant. This is not better than Tsar at all ! There´s a lot of "harsh Russian winter" or "Tsar´s winter palace" concept in the bottle coloring. But it forms a paradox with the sweet scent and the color ideas are executed in materials that don´t convince. If this had not been a mistake for Van Cleef then Zanzibar would not have followed it only three years later. My guess is that Eau du Tsar was a failed attempt to cash in on the "super sweet and near unisex trend". Van cleef did this by modifying their excellent Tsar. The Sculpture fans will probably like this scent but for me it´s not Van Cleef at all. It´s not elegant enough, ergo: it doesn´t go with fine jewelry or formal occasions, ergo: it´s not a true Van Cleef & Arpels. |
