Reminiscent of Tendre Poison, Touch, 273, and Cabotine in its notes, but everything evolves here: tiny flowers, sweetness, dusty violet, and iris that later comes back to life. It’s the only one with something magical and cheerful I can’t stop smelling; on clothes, it leaves a juicy bouquet of flowers where the vintage vibe comes and goes like a wave. At first, it’s strong, dizzying, and aggressively fun floral, but then it calms down, becoming peaceful, romantic, and serene. It opens yellow, moves to white, and ends lilac; it’s a woman in all her facets. Lasts 12 hours, strong with a considerable sillage.

Reminds me of Tendre Poison, Touch, 273, and Cabotine in terms of notes, but everything changes here: a flower emerges, then another, a sweetness, dusty violet and iris that revive the scent. It’s magical and cheerful; I can’t stop smelling it. On clothes, it’s a juicy bouquet of flowers; that vintage touch comes and goes like a wave. At first, it’s strong and dizzying—a fun, aggressive floral EDT—then it calms down, becoming peaceful, romantic, and serene. It opens yellow, moves to white, and ends lilac. It’s a woman with all her facets. Lasts 12 hours with considerable sillage.

If you’re afraid of vintage florals with aldehydes, brace yourself for a surprise. It’s true that you dive into a sea of flowers, but they unfold with delicacy. It’s attractive and seductive; a white-yellow heart with a subtle rose, a gardenia that claims its territory, and an accompanying violet turn that sea into a fine, noble honey. This harmony brings calm. Amber and woods add captivating depth. It’s a sublime floral scent that rests perfectly on the skin, present but without noise, very natural. The heart is dense, a beautiful bouquet where no single note dominates. It’s intoxicating but without excessive sweetness, soon giving way to a delicate soapyness without losing elegance. I imagine a pure Chanel No. 5 would have a similar effect after hours. It has depth, something melancholic, and develops like a silk thread from head to heart.

This is the richest floral I’ve ever tried, Tresor style. It’s warm, hugging, deep, and powdery. I had it in my teens and never found it again; in Argentina, fewer perfumes are imported now, and this one has been absent for two decades. I want to buy it again; when I travel, I look for it and there’s nothing, it’s hard to find. Its sillage was weak on me, and so was longevity; I remember putting on liters and ending up reapplying it with body cream, it would vanish in a blink. Still, I love it; the day I see it again, I’m buying it.

This timeless beauty and divine glory I found at a bazaar nearby. It smells gorgeous, and I imagine some golden-age movie goddess wearing such a scent. It has a very distinguished diva aura, wrapped in furs and dressed in satin and velvet. Best of all: gift price.

I live in Tecate, Mexico, on the border with the US, and few perfumes like this make it here. This weekend I went inland to Guanajuato, and while walking, I stumbled upon a small perfumery. I walked in and saw quantities of perfumes I know from Fragrantica but would hardly find here. Among them was this Caron. I bought it without hesitation, no regrets, I loved it. It’s a sparkling white floral with excellent sillage. From now on, every time I return to Guanajuato, I’ll go prepared with cash, haha, for about 3 or 4 perfumes, haha… 100% recommended, and Guanajuato too.

It’s pleasant, very floral, for those who know how to appreciate this family, but with weak longevity. Seems like a perfume designed for very elderly ladies. Another one I bought without testing it first…
