My dad loved the original ultramarine… so I guess this will make a nice giftable 😉
Not sure about the Pineapple though…
The original Insense, along with the original Egoiste were two mainstream launches of the early 90s that smelled really weird.. bitter is the word I would use to describe them.
Chanel faced with the poor reception launched Platinum Egoiste soon after, and Guerlain launched the Ultramarine for, I believe, the same reasons. Of course this is my personal opinion based on stuff I read in the 90s and talks with sales persons around that time… so take with a grain of salt. 😉
I have never smelled any of the Insense series! This sounds awfully calone-ish, so probably not my cup of tea.
