Perfume-Fragonard-Zizanie Cologne

Zizanie Cologne by Fragonard is quite a surprise with regards to the 'cologne' part.

The start has quite a mild near-aldehyde-floral touch, to a watered-down Shalimar base, which is kind of tart-lemon-y mixed with a lot of unsweetened, non-sugary vanilla.
After several minutes, the whole combination calms down quite a bit. To me, it just smells like a really apologetic Shalimar, quite, muted-citrus and unsweetened vanilla. As I find Shalimar a bit hard to pull off due to the slightly animal if hint in it, Zizanie Cologne is no different, the difference is that Zizanie Cologne is closer to the skin and can be used as a skins scent if used with a light hand.
Then, there is the final dry down, which smells of really light dry, unsweetened vanilla.

I'm not impressed again, not only by the low longevity of the scent, but also, because of the similarity between this Fragonard scent and other commercial ones.
