I don't much like immortelle, so L didn't get all that much attention from me, although I did try it briefly. You know, I didn't catch that at all!

It's like a candied cousin of Theorema. Both share the orange/spice/cinnamon theme (and IMHO an unfitting packaging ;-) ). L is heavier on the vanilla, of course.

That sounds like a very tempting scent, and I'm going to add it to my "to buy" list...which unfortunately is so long at the moment that it just sits in limbo. I haven't bought a darn thing since November just because I can't decide what to buy next. And sorry you had to go through such an ordeal to get your hands on it!

I finally got my bottle - Imagination perfumery did not include my full address after a series of snarky (on both sides) emails back and forth at the time of my ordering - could that be coincidence? - which resulted in a very late delivery. The duty was indeed horrendous, the box had been damaged and bottle had leaked. All in all, not a very satisfactory shipping experience. The scent itself, though is lovely, and I think it may appeal to you more than we might have thought from Turin's description. I would say it is actually more accessible than Theorema, in that it is surprisingly sheer, skin scent compared to the Fendi, unless it has lost it's potency since 2002 or has low sillage on me (thought the lasting power seems to be good). The top notes are a very green tangerine with a a kind of fuzzy spice aura much like the Theorema, but the fruitness fades more quickly and the spice notes turn distinctly smokey. As I say, though, it is fairly sheer, and the smoke never overwhelms a very buttery leather dry down. It's fairly linear after the initial moments. I like it a lot though it has less presence than I expected - a fair sight less than Theorema actually, and it's probably more a spring/summer scent - but it's comforting in the same way. It seems a very grown up perfume to me, and very French coast somehow. Hi R, just thought I post here on another Nagel scent we have discussed, Histoire D'Eau Topaze.

It is the only version that I've seen at my TJ Maxx. Thanks so much, I'm glad to know the Leggero is not worth a purchase. It is the only version that I've seen at my TJ Maxx.

But I try very hard not to buy unsniffed too -- unless it is REALLY cheap, and then I usually can't resist. Darn, I wish Theorema would turn up at my Marshalls!

I bought Theorema Leggero unsniffed thinking it would be nice for summer, but it is watery and has none of the spiciness of Theorema. The bottle is just as gorgeous, frosted with muted gold.
