    Manhattan

    Oh, Manhattan, how do i love thee... This is one of the most gorgeous things i've ever smelled on my skin. As said many times before, it definitely is lemony/smoky goodness in the imp - and for a moment on my skin. But when the drydown comes...oh wow. It's like...exactly how i'd imagine Edie Sedgwick would have smelled - an eclectic mix of impeccable good breeding and high class and arty downtown cafes and making out in alleys and dancing all night...it's like Chanel meets the Velvet Underground. And it works. On my skin, it smells EXACTLY like my old leather jacket drenched with Chanel Gardenia and an eentsy whiff of cigarette smoke. Now i can give up the Chanel, because this is ever-so-much better. Le wow. Definitely buying a bottle...or seven.

    Pink Snowballs

    Ahhh... This is my first review since rejoining the site (from way back in '06 or so), and i am not disappointed in my impulse to dive in and purchase a whole bottle. In bottle - a sort of crisp, rosy, almost chemical scent, with a hint of sweet vanilla. Hoping it dries down similarly. Wet - the "crisp", cold smell is very strong, as is the rose. No real vanilla hitting me yet. Hoping it comes out soon... Drydown - Mmm. It's a very delicate sweet-rose, with just a hint of that initial crispness. Hours later it's still there, but much fainter. I find that i do have to re-apply if i want it to smell as strongly as i like, with the proper amount of throw, since it is such a delicate scent. Totally in love with this - i'd like to try layering it with Rose Red, because i do love the smell of roses, in particular freshly-cut ones. I'll definitely be purchasing another bottle (er, or six!) this week, as i don't think i can live without it. I wear it every day, and can't bear the thought of running out!
