    Does anyone know the concentration of this fragrance (edp, edt, etc.)?

    I like that bottle, even though it looks like an alien hand grenade. I'm also intrigued by the 'frozen green top' – presumably pine, if it's for Christmas?

    I believe it is an EdP, but wouldn't swear to it.

    It is a fairly light, sweet fruity floral to my nose…certainly nothing Christmas-like about it. But only tried it briefly on a test strip…

    Oh I like that bottle, too! It does look a little weird, but I still like it. Is it some variation on Dolce Vita perhaps? Though sweet fruity floral doesn't sound like it quite is.

    It certainly looks like dolce vita.

    I must admit that it also looks quite stunning.

    Frozen green top notes and wood? I think the description will prove to be innacurate and we'll end up with a j'adore clone.

    The fragrance did not wow me in the least…but only tried it very briefly.

    Is it Dolce Vita-like in the least? The bottle is clearly a play on DV.

    Hi Robin,

    I tried this last night and I agree, it did nothing for me either. It smells like everything else lately. My 17 year old daughter like the bottle though.

    Another one I don't have to spend $$ on. :)

    Just sprayed on a tad of Dolce Vita and am trying to remember. It certainly didn't call it to mind at the time. If it is Dolce Vita-like in the least, it has been rendered considerably more innocuous.

    “Smelled like everything else lately” was my feeling exactly.

    Just a question — what does everyone do with a bottle as lovely as this, when the juice is gone? I had several beautiful but empty bottles, when they were first empty they went into the lingerie drawers but then it just became a rattling mess of bottles, and then I just threw them out. You can't refill the spray bottles, and the pour is just impossible to reuse unless you had a tiny funnel, sure hands, and infinite patience.

    It seems such a waste, no? 50ml of a favorite fragrance last me about 6-9 months, all those bottles are going to the recycler or lie ignomiously in the landfill?

    Sell them on ebay, maybe? Even if you don't care about the money, at least it will be going to a bottle collector instead of landfill.

    Or, see if you can give them away — there are several perfume bottle collector websites that might be possibilities. Other than that, no suggestions. I almost never drain a bottle so it isn't a problem I've had to face myself.

    That bottle looks like something that holds kryptonite. Love it!

    It is a great bottle, although the scent did nothing for me.

    They have it at Neiman Marcus. Haven't seen it at Macys, but haven't been there in a couple weeks.

    I saw it at Sephora before Christmas, and I didn't realize it was a Holiday special, BUT Sephora's website seems to be getting rid of some things for cheap. There was a Guerlain l'Insant Noel fragrance for like $15… I was quite surprised, so maybe this one will be cheap too… I hope so, I like the bottle. ^_^

    I liked the bottle, but the fragrance itself didn't wow me :-)

    This is still one of my favorites. It’s my special occasion, summer evning scent. If anyone knows of a remaining bottle in stock or for sale please don’t hesitate to contact me.

      Are you keeping an automatic search on ebay? That’s usually the best way to find discontinued scents.
