I gasped in the Chinese eatery post-physio when D suddenly produced a plastic bag full o scent he had picked up for ten dollars : a sealed Mitsouko parfum; the most beautiful bottle of Bal A Versailles cologne ; a Tuscany per Donna – when you run out of Samsara it makes a pretty good substitute ! and a leaked Guy Laroche Fidji parfum which is assailing my senses alluringly like a Parisian Tahitian siren — but it was this unheard of perfume, with the cretinously chosen title ‘Enchanting Dance’ that has most captured my diamond shaped heart.
Ooh missi. This is a straight rip-off of Ungaro Diva – but possibly improved. A classic 80’s spiced rosa all’italiana – eBay tells me it can go from the extortionate to the very affordable – but for anyone who still loves that genre as I do, mama mia this ticks all the boxes.
Thanks D – your name is even written on the carton !
Lucky boy!! That’s funny – decades ago, my first bottle of Fidji leaked in my handbag. The lovely fragrance accompanied me for many months.
I mean it’s VERY musky – but tonight I am finding it quite charming. I imagine it could be quite seductive – ULTRA feminine in an unapologetic way
PS – good tip about Tuscany per Donna.
I mean it is a bit tacky .. so is Samsara but it is deeper and that Mysore in the original
Just noticed there is an actual diamond in the Shiseido juice !
NOW I understand why it says ‘with a diamond ‘.. there is one thrown in
Surely it’s a rhinestone?!
I assume so – apparently there is a certificate of authencity within the paperwork – will have to google translate
‘ENCHANTING DANCE – WITH A RHINESTONE’
– what a classy release from Shiseido I love it
What a great haul! I love those perfumes. You must smell fantastic. Enjoy every whiff!
I will – about 700 dollars of stuff for a tenner !
That’s amazing – never ceases to astound me how you both find these finds. Do you think I’d like the Enchanting Dance? I’ve liked almost all the vintage Shiseido’s I’ve tried, but a few were quite fleeting (Memoire, Euthrycin). “Diva” is alluring, “spiced” maybe less so…
Mmm I wonder. It IS spiced, but not sweet like Chanel Coco – quite dry.. as you rock Paloma you might enjoy this as an evening special – it’s definitely high quality
