Review of Ruffles by aad de gids

this is a fantastic perfume. it is so rich and lively. it belongs to the big 1980s Flower Perfumes. it has reminiscences with Oscar de la Renta (1977) where the notes are different yet also overlap considerably. (Flowers, Fruit, Green Notes, in Oscar more Spices while Ruffles is more Animalic Musky). but both perfumes show mr. Oscar de la Renta (Óscar Arístides de la Renta y Fiallo 1932-2014) his's Dominican Character and Joie de Vivre. his colourfulness and movement in fashion then also in Perfumes (also Volupté 1992) and Men's Colognes. Ruffles is Voluptuous, Opulent, Flowery and Fruity, Aldehydic, enriched with Honey, Caramel and Vanilla. this all long before the Gourmandization of Perfumery. it is just a Touch. all named perfumes have become legendary, as the Fashion Designer himself. His', and the Fashions of Geoffrey Beene, Bill Blass, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan's, Halson's and [James] Galanos were the ones I looked out for in Vogue US, Harpers Bazaars US and 'W' a famous fashion magazine in the 1980s. and on TV @ CNN 'Style' with Elsa Klensch. he once danced with Karl Lagerfeld on a Ball (Lagerfeld was a good dancer while Oscar had Caribbean Hips).
