It’s exquisite, quite strong, and very sweet—perfect for winter or autumn, day or night, ideal for romantic outings. The scent lasts forever.
This is a fragrance from years ago that I wore all through my teenage years. I bought it for my teenage daughter and she loved it. I ended up using it myself a few times too because its scent is so particular and unique that I haven’t found anything similar since. Men love it. It remains a current and irreplaceable fragrance.
It’s gorgeous and easy to wear, though a bit ‘for ladies.’ It’s so unique that you’ll immediately spot the wearer on the street.
Smells old, like ladies over eighty. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Antiquated scent, the kind that sticks to ladies over eighty. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Every skin smells different, who knows if it’s magic or chemistry? The truth is, perfume is very subjective. Maybe what pushes us to choose one over another is something deeper. Quartz brings me back to past springs and that youth that’s no longer here.
It reminds me of my childhood, when my mom used to wear it. It’s an intense and elegant scent. Undoubtedly, it’s not one of my preferences these days, but it unquestionably distinguishes any woman; it’s like bathing in vintage elegance.
This perfumerie classic is for daily use. Woody, good longevity, lasts quite a few hours. It’s not one of my favorites, but I have it and use it from time to time because I don’t dislike it.
It’s disrespectful to say a scent is outdated, not recommended, and should be reserved for women over eighty. But hey! Besides, saying this is silly because if Lali keeps using her favorite perfume (which I assume is modern), in a few years she’ll be as old as you are. If you start from false premises, you reach false conclusions. People age, but perfumes stay as young as the first day. Any person over eighty, who can proudly call themselves old (not in a derogatory sense), can always wear whatever perfume they want. With comments like that, one shows they are very snobbish. Cordial greetings.
It’s an elegant and fresh perfume that is very current. Whoever says a fragrance is outdated lacks knowledge. In fact, perfumes don’t have an age range, and the existence of female and male versions is just subjective and commercial. For example, essential oils from India or Egypt are unisex. Chanel No. 5 is from 1921 and is still the best-seller for a wide range of ages.
I used this fragrance a lot back in the nineties. I’m fascinated by its scent; it makes me feel very comfortable.
I love its scent; it comforts me without being a winter fragrance… it’s rich, I don’t know how to describe it better.
I love the Quartz; my mom used to wear it, so I get a bit nostalgic every time I smell it. It’s fresh and sweet, but with personality. Being fresh and moderately light doesn’t mean it lacks complexity, especially when talking about creations from this decade. When I smell the Quartz, I think of other perfumes like Cristalle (1974), which is similar but with a more accentuated citrus side and a woodier touch. It also reminds me of Diorella (1972), just as juicy as the Quartz (they share peach and melon), but basil and a higher dose of vetiver set them apart. Although the three smell quite similar, especially in notes like moss, hyacinth, vetiver, honeysuckle, and fruit, the cassia and peach are very prominent in the Quartz. I love that sweet aspect with touches of moss. My review is about the vintage; I think the current version still maintains its beauty, but it lost the natural freshness of before. The Quartz follows the trend of many fragrances from the decade that portray the powerful, determined, elegant yet simple woman who doesn’t need narcotic excesses like other years—a woman with character who dresses her fragrance, not the other way around.
Synthetic floral? Yes, just carnation. The description says floral, but there’s no rose or jasmine, and the hyacinth has lost its ground. The base notes are so intense they’re almost the only thing I notice. The lily-of-the-valley root, carnation, and talcum powder scent overpowers everything and forms the backbone. When it dries down, it smells only of talcum powder. I’d rather file it away among the many artificial scents on the market. I wouldn’t buy it again.
What an awesome perfume. It has a complexity and depth that words can’t quite capture. To me, it looks like a chypre because of the oakmoss and patchouli. It’s warm and enveloping, very special. It reminds me a lot of the original Diorella, but this one has more flower; the Diorella has green and citrus notes that aren’t in the Quartz. It’s simply gorgeous and timeless.
I don’t mind the phrase ‘grandma’s scent’ or that it seems like something for women over eighty. I absolutely love perfumes with identity—strong and persistent ones that announce my arrival. In fact, sometimes at the perfumerie I tell the salespeople I’m looking for fragrances that their moms or grandmas might have worn. My mom, grandma, aunts, and great-aunts were women with a lot of presence, elegant, mysterious, and intelligent, and they wore perfumes that complemented that. Perfumes dress you up; I complement my outfit with a scent that matches it. I love recreating that ‘my grandma’s vintage’ imprint in an era where all perfumes are sweet, bland, and lack any ‘identity statement.’ I think the original today is to use iconic perfumes from other eras. Even buying them keeps these works of art alive.
Beautiful perfume. It has a complexity and depth that make it hard to describe. In my opinion, it has some chypre character from the oakmoss and patchouli. It’s warm and enveloping. Very special. I find it very similar to Diorella in its original version, but more floral; Diorella has green and citrus notes that aren’t in Quartz. It’s simply beautiful and timeless.
Quartz is one of my favorite perfumes. On me, it comes out earthy, like a forest in the morning dew. Then lily root, honeysuckle, and carnation appear with a wet, alive touch. As hours pass, it becomes mossy and “fougery,” and finally has a powdery dry down, but like a masculine talc. It’s in the same family as Coriandre by Jean Couturier (another jewel from the seventies). The only negative is that it doesn’t last long on me (maybe four hours, perhaps with many sprays). Sillage is subtle to moderate.
Synthetic floral? Yes, but only to carnation. They list it as floral on the specs, but there’s no rose or jasmine; the hyacinth falls short. The base notes are brutal, almost the only thing I notice. Lily, carnation, and talc dominate everything and would be the backbone of the scent. Dry, it smells just like talc. It feels more like one of those artificial aromas you find around. I wouldn’t buy it again.
Quartz is one of my favorites. On my skin, it smells like a forest with morning dew, then comes the lily root, honeysuckle, and carnation with a wet, lively touch. Over time, it turns mossy and ‘fougery,’ ending with a powdery note, but like a masculine talc. It’s in the same family as Jean Couturier’s Coriandre (another 70s gem). The only downside is it doesn’t last long for me (maybe four hours with heavy application). It has a subtle to moderate sillage.
Fascinating, strange aldehydic cypress, slightly unsettling, leaving me like Narciso for Him, with a taciturn, gray sensation, the color of quartz. There’s something stony; no illusion, no fantasy, no fauns jumping around, just introspection, beautiful, made for me. Pre-reformulated bottle. I’ll try to hunt down the current one to see if it keeps the originality, praying it does. PS: Recently I found a bottle from 2010/2015 and it lacks the leather note, missing. It’s not bad, but goodbye to the volume; it stays green and aldehydic with a bit of a cheap vibe.
It says ELEGANCE. Quartz is for a woman who wears heels, not for going to a nightclub… or yes, if she wants to, but I don’t see it fitting that setting. It’s timeless and not intrusive. It has moderate to soft sillage (depending on the person), but you notice it if you pass by or share a dinner. It has a subtle air of sensuality. It’s that kind of woman who doesn’t need to draw attention to seduce. If you have an idea of wearing it on an elegant day without wanting to attract too much attention, I imagine her in a black outfit, simple but elegant. Makeup that highlights your features, not too elaborate. If you have a date after work and don’t know what to wear to smell sensual and pleasant. If you know that on that day you’ll finally give that first kiss you’ve been waiting for. It could be your calling card if you don’t want to overwhelm but want it to be clear that you have class. Imagine a rainy afternoon or evening. If you have a job interview, it’s another occasion to leave a mark of elegance. I disagree with those who say it’s for “old ladies.” No, at least if you only enjoy current fragrances. There’s nothing gourmand here, nothing that smells like fruit… It’s not that Quartz. I have two 100 ml bottles and a smaller one I’ve had for years as a collection. This perfume cannot be missing from my vanity. Lastly, to receive its benefits, you don’t need to spend much. It’s accessible and luckily available. I hope you give it a chance; if you see a tester, try it. Who knows, a story between this fragrance and you might begin there.
In my opinion, it’s one of the richest perfumes I’ve ever tried; on my skin, it’s soft and very elegant. Perfumes don’t have an age; the person wearing them must know how to use and combine them with their outfit. I’m not a perfumer or an expert, I just share my feelings, and Quartz exudes elegance. For those who wear ripped jeans, this isn’t your perfume.
Beautiful, fresh, elegant. It’s a tremendous perfume that makes you feel like you can take on the world. I had it in the nineties and recently tried it again; at one moment I felt like I was twenty again. Delicious. I remember it as fresher, more citrusy, and sparkling; now I notice more cypress and woody notes. I love both versions. It has an elegance and versatility that make it ideal for blind buys. It has a linear development (like in the nineties) but it’s not negative. It’s one of the few I always come back to buy.
A powdery, soft floral that reminds me of Giorgio Beverly Hills or the Argentine L’Extreme. Very versatile for starting the morning; it works perfectly at work.
Finally, I can give the definitive review. Quartz is linear: it opens powdery and dries down powdery. At first, I notice carnations and peach; I’m not a fan of peach in perfumes, but here it smells like the velvety skin of the fruit. As it dries, it becomes very woody and earthy. Ideal for autumn and the office: decent, complex, and not annoying.
This was one of my favorite perfumes in the eighties and nineties. My dad used to buy them for me at duty-free shops when he traveled. Writing this brings me so much nostalgia.
Does it smell like mosquito repellent to anyone? I picked it up at a vintage shop for an incredible price, but I haven’t worn it once because the scent is unbearably earthy and herbal, just like repellent.
Why does it smell like mosquito repellent to me? I picked it up from a vintage shop at an insane price, but I haven’t even worn it once. The fragrance is unbearably earthy and herbal, just like repellent.
Hi! Has anyone tried the reformulated Quartz femme? I’m scared it might be a total disaster…
