Wow, I am so surprised by this one. I really Love it & it’s now one of my tops. It’s rich & powdery, but not in a baby powder way. It also has an almost chocolaty feel to it. Kind of reminds me of those scratch & sniff stickers I used to collect when I was little.
It’s so delicious. To be honest, first couple seconds of my first spray I got pretty scared. Once it revealed itself I couldn’t get my nose out of it & keep going back for more. I was lusting after this fragrance by age 6. I probably had some by the time I was 10.
Remarkably, it holds up! Like Sand and Sable, a true drugstore classic. Vintage Emeraude is something you should treat yourself to, if you get the chance. I don’t think I’ve ever broken down the notes on this one, it just is what it is. For me, some kind of true love, in a bottle.On me a bit soapy at first, then becomes very powdery & just a slight bit woody then ends with just a hint of vanilla.
Great longevity .Bought a beautiful bottle of the original Coty on e-bay. I think it is really lovely but I can’t wear it because it hurts my nose. A common problem I have with many fragrances. So this will not be remaining in my wardrobe of scents.
