[…] Bill Blass renders elegance in a seemingly simple interplay of galbanum, hyacinth, and lily of the valley. Apart from the initial sparkle of neroli, the scent is quite linear and a touch aldehydic. It’s the resurrection of the 70s or their modern interpretation, bringing to mind such scents as Fidji by Guy Laroche, Ivoire by Balmain, Silences by Jacomo. It is the scent of sheer, glossy fabrics and pastel colors. Bill Blass is a perfect scent to welcome spring - its luminous character makes you think happy thoughts. I don’t see myself wearing it yet, simply because I have not developed a strong enough taste for galbanum and hyacinth based scents. I do recommend trying it, however. It might be an instant love for you. […]

I did it. I completely trusted you. I went to my favorite perfume shop (very kind and professional owners.. and generous with samples) and asked for Jacomo Silences (of course, with the wrong pronunciation, didn’t know it was french!). And they had some bottles spared! So I sniffed and bought it at once. And I suppose I also gained some points in their consideration: they don’t see often women my age walk in and ask for a perfume from the ’70s… until they find out I read your blog they might even think I understand something about perfumes Well, this Silences is really a lovely chypre, so fresh, I really enjoy it..
Next suggestion?

I completely agree–it’s beautiful! NB: at least some of the lemmings V. creates are inexpensive; you have me craving Jalaine Patchouli and Vetiver now (bad, bad Ina:)!

Wicked girl. I was trying to ignore victoria’s review and NOT order some of this, but if it’s a ’70s perfume you like, then I have a hunch it will suit me very nicley. Grrrr!

Iris, as I said earlier, you can find this very cheap on ebay. You should definitely revisit it!
