ELLEN TRACY is so innocuous that I cannot imagine anyone not finding it to be a perfectly fine everyday, all occasion fragrance. I see the floral notes listed, but really don’t get the scent of any single bloom—just a general feminine feel; and a lightness, almost a crispness that keeps some of the heavier notes from taking over, I think which also comes from the faintly lingering bergamot-citrus notes.

Thanks to a generous sample of "Ellen Tracy" from a wonderful Fragrantican, Raina, I am in fragrance induced nirvana. Woodsy-spicy seems to be compatible with asthma in her case while fruity-floral and patchouli/fruitchouli require an inhaler. Fresh, fruity and slightly spicy at first, I get a little bit of a "bubblegum" effect for 15 minutes, which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. Give it time, and you are left with a beautiful, soft, musky, kinda of soapy smell that's very feminine.Convenience meets elegance with the sleek, portable packaging of the ELLEN TRACY Perfect Sculpt Face Contouring Kit. If I'm looking for something a bit more headstrong I use Avon's Timeless (see my review there) as that is one of my absolute favorites. It's like finding a book that you can't put down, and then discovering the author has written several other books that you can't wait to get your hands on.

But once upon a time, from the ’60s right up to the early 2000s, Linda Allard was the leading lady, steering the brand’s design vision. The amber and musk are deepening the experience, and the hyacinth is just at the right level of intensity to make it all zesty without being too punchy.These must be the notes that always bring to my mind walking on a crisp, sunny day in autumn beneath trees whose leaves have turned brilliant colors and are starting to fall. Sprightly with a note similar to apple cider, it's interesting, but the dry down ruins anything likable about this fragrance. Powdery, sweet, mildly heavy from the plum and oakmoss, but you definitely get the light, fruity, and feminine notes from the citrus and berry to round it out.
