Is this the same fragrance as the original version from the 1970s?+−
This "L'Original" edition released in 2014 is a re-release intended to capture the soul of the 1978 classic. While it maintains the iconic floral-powdery DNA, it has been subtly updated to comply with modern ingredient standards while keeping the hyacinth and lily profile intact.
How does the Eau de Toilette perform in terms of longevity?+−
The Eau de Toilette is known for having respectable staying power. It typically lasts for several hours on the skin, performing similarly to other classic floral Eaux de Toilette rather than fading immediately like a cologne.
Can this be worn in a professional office environment?+−
Yes. Because of its clean, soapy, and powdery accords, it is often cited as an excellent choice for business or daily wear. It project a sense of being well-groomed and professional without the heavy sweetness that can be polarizing in close quarters.
Does this fragrance lean more feminine or masculine?+−
While it is marketed for women and features a bouquet of white florals like jasmine and lily of the valley, the heavy moss and vetiver in the base give it a sharp, green character that some fans of traditional masculine chypres may appreciate.
