I discovered this treasure a few weeks ago.<p>

This smells wonderful, very refined and elegant, a little soapy, and it has that harsh/fancy edge that I associate with gorgeous older couture gowns. It has a forties or fifties smell to it. It's...

I can't comment on the "old" Vent Vert, because I have never smelled it. I do think the new one is very pretty, and although the initial opening is very green with its blast of galbanum, lemon and...

Got this for a great price online. The bottle is beautiful with the grey bow. I love leather scents and have: Bandit EDP, Miss Balmain, and Cabochard, along with Jolie Madame. This is the most...

I found this very cheap - like $19.99 - at Filene's Basement. It is a very classy classic French fragrance - a very good deal.
It has green, grassy notes, and a drydown of faint raspberry. ...

Ivoire de Balmain is a green floral that was inspired by a beautiful mystery woman at a gala who was dressed in a creamy pale silk gown. The top notes & heart notes are wonderful on me; a mix of...

The violet top notes did not smell right on me. They smelled like artificial banana! This was alarming to me. As it became more intense, I fought temptation to wash the scent off. I'm glad I did!!...

This perfume has guts. It's a real (dare I say it?)"ball-buster"! As noted in previous reviews, this scent is really perfect for a chic suit. However, I am not letting that stop me (I don't even...

This review is for Ivoire de Balmain (not to be confused with Balmain, nor with Eau D'Ivoire)...confused yet? The Ivoire de Balmain that I have is a peppery galbanum opening, with Lily of the...

A beautiful, soft and feminine floral chypre. Chic and sosphisticated, understated but has a romantic heart. I can smell the galbanum but it isn't overpowering and is pleasantly well blended and...

This scent is France in Spring to me. I love that it's so formal. It really is a classy lady with a chignon and pearls. The violet in it is simply beautiful and very unusual. To me the top notes...

Jolie Madame is a toned-down version of Bandit. The top notes of violet are wonderfully blended with leather. Original.

i just tried this...and it's a mixture of cellier's own bandit (in the base-notes) and annick goutal's passion (in the top notes, particularly the gardenia on chypre)...of course, goutal's passion...

Jolie Madame is a less well-known classic, created by Germaine Céllier, the woman behind Bandit and Vent Vert. It would make a perfect scent for a Hitchcock blonde, the dame with her hair in a...

Direct green start. Quickly mellows to a mild sweet floral with just a touch of leaf. Being a "green" lover, I wish the earthier notes lingered a bit longer. For those of you who like pretty,...
