Ivoire is a green floral, but on me it is not at all soapy or powdery. I love soap and powder, so I kept waiting, but on me this is all about the sharp opening. I prefer no 19 if I want a green...

I tried this and Balmain's other recent fragrance, La Mome. There are a lot of similarities between them. Ambre gris is sort of an amber scent for people who are most comfortable wearing fruity...

Whoa Nellie, that's some strong stuff. I totally agree with Dascha's review below. This juice definitely conjurs up a whole other decade and attitude that just isn't really being replicated in...

I can't detect Amber or Ambergris. To my nose and on my skin, it's an awful melange of sweetness. Smells as if someone took half a bottle of one perfume and another half bottle and mixed them. ...

Looking for something green, I decided to try this, although I had read discouraging reports on reformulation. I ignored these because many times the reformulations are just fine. This time...

I was wearing Ivoire when I first met my husband, 29 years ago and loved it so much I wore only Ivoire during my late teens and early twenties (and some clothes, obviously). Well, I was seduced by...

The latest reformulation after the initial blast of green, for reasons that are totally beyond me, reminds me of Safari by Ralph Lauren. The early 1990s version (white dots on green cap) is a tad...

It is like Eau du Soir with cassis (blackcurrent) thrown in. It's also toned down a notch - so it's not as sharp and bracing like Eau du Soir - and it's miles cheaper. If you have looked around...

A sweet yet beautiful combination of violet and greenery which dries down to a leather chypre. Don't expect a Cabochard clone though, IMO this scent is more akin to l'Insolence by Guerlain. In...

Ivoire was a special gift to me years ago and I loved it from the first moment I tried it. It's very light and femine on me and yet somehow mysterious and has a sophisticated elegance about it....

I cannot agree with those who find this fragrance soapy at all. it begins on me as a light green floral and quickly developes into a deep and mysterious chypre reminscent of Magie. I can see the...

This is two parts Obsession mixed with one part Shalimar (with much less vanilla). A little too much cinnamon in the topnotes, IMHO. Dries down sexy and fairly close to the skin, with prominent...

For me, this is a very claasy and wearable fragrance. It does start off with a very sharp blast of citrus, but wears down to a wonderful woody chypre. It didn't disappear, it just mellowed, and I...
