This has been my signature scent for years. I love it. But sadly I just found out it has been discontinued!! What were they thinking???

There is something I just find delicious and addictive about this scent once it dries down. I don't like the initial strong burst of smokiness but thereafter i appreciate the mix of tabacco and...

Unfortunately, on my skin this smelled very strongly of a sweet tobacco, especially in the drydown. Glad it works for some, though.

A spicy floral perfume consisting of orris root, lily of the valley, sandalwood and more. Priced so you can wear it all day every day and long lasting enough so that one spritz will do all day....

As the song goes, there's a thin line between love and hate. This perfume dances on that line for me. I first became interested in Quelques Fleurs after reading some background information on...

My step-mom wears this pretty much exclusively. That I cannot see happening, maybe once in a while, but not the ONLY thing you wear. She has always worn one perfume to death for years, and...

On my skin it's a creamy, sweet, almost honeyed floral. I can smell lily, roses, orange blossom, some jasmine, heliotrope and musk, but I can barely detect the tobacco notes (what's a good thing,...

This perfume remind me so much of the 80's when the fragrances were too loud sweet and harsh. to me it smells like a cheep artificial drugstore fragrance, sweet and cloying with no refinement.

Certainly a peppery spicy woody scent with a hint of sweet tobacco . I can imagine an elegant women in her 40's wearing it but its not my cup of tea. 16/7/07 EDIT: Well, I've changed my mind and i...

Heavy. What I classify as a "Country Club" scent. Enough said.

This scent reminds me of Creed's Love in White, but unlike LIW it does not become generically sweet after an hour or so. The composition remains consistently lush and soft, without the aldehydic...

I fell in love with this perfume immediately and in rather a short time fell equally out of love with it, seemed too heavy and cloying all of a sudden. I had a pang of guilt this week and thought I...

Apercu is such an extravagant and warm chypre. It does remind me of holidays like what other reviewers noted here. It doesn't turn old and musty on me like what Y (by YSL) did. It's quite pricey...

My mother is in love with this scent. Years ago she had received a bottle, and fell in love. As a young girl, I would collect her perfume bottles and sniff them to bring back memories. The scent...

This smells like an old lady. I wanted to like it, but I can't. I asked my co worker her honest opinion and she said the same.

the drydown is an almost gooey mix of honey, nougat, vanilla and rose. what little floralcy there is bears scant resemblance to the dazzling original, which is unfortunate. the...

This is a fragrance that turned out to be love at first smell. It is such a pretty and feminine perfume. One that makes me feel good when I wear it. It's a little pricey but that's okay because it...
