Candy tuberose with aldehydes. Goes on gloriously sweet flowers with only the faintest edge of mothballs, which my skin always brings out of Tuberose, Jasmine, Gardenia or Lily of the Valley....

I have a Nordstrom sample of the Eau de Parfume. Glorious on the tester card; a riot of creamy spring flowers caked with buttery yellow pollen. Unfortunately within minutes on my skin it breaks...

Not that sublime on me. I like the slight powder elements to the fragrance at the opening but everything else just doesn't agree with my body chemistry. This on me reminds me of "OFF" mosquito...

Sublime is a big, urban amber-Oriental in the manner of Caron's Alpona and Montaigne. Since both of these Caron classics preceded the Patou (1992), it makes one wonder about their possible...

Given the feeling of well-being and repletion this exudes it could as well have been named ‘Après Moment Suprême’. All’s well with the world if you can feel like this, even if only for a moment....

Reminds me of Miss Dior Cherie mixed with a tiny tiny bit of YSL Paris. Interesting fragrance. Patou For Ever by Jean Patou is a chypre fruity fragrance for women. launched in 1998. The nose behind...

When this first came out years ago it was a big deal, because of the expense. But I say eh...it's just ok. I've smelled better and would not purchase it.

Colony is beautiful, a classic Ma in the vein of classic Ma's, which is to say it's exquisitely constructed, quirky, and unique. The closest match I've found is the middle of Jean Scherrer. ...

Sadly, most of the Ma Collection does not seem to work for me. This one is decidedly unflattering with my chemistry, an overt powdery and flat carnation. No spices, no warmth. There is a...

You can find this rather fun take on an oriental for dirt cheap. It's not a masterpiece but it's fun, not too girly and not too serious. Just right and I don't know why I don't wear it more often....

This fragrance is extremely powdery on me - which in this case is not a good thing. I agree with the reviewer who compared it to L'heure bleu - it is almost bitter powder and cool violet on me...

EDIT : Review for Proctor and Gamble version- Parfum extrait. No worries ladies- this is saved ! Joy is more or less the same - nothing to worry about. I will continue to buy and wear this perfume...

Well I thought this would be some kind of cousin or sister scent to Joy, which I used to love, but it wasn't. I guess I am not a fruit person after all if that is the reason I disliked it so much....

Sira isn't a WOW fragrance, but it's a very pleasant one if you can ignore your preconceptions and come to it without gourmand expectations. It isn't a rich, sweet, amber/vanilla-y fragrance...

Reminds me of a more powdery, lighter Bellodgia. Very nice, vintage scent, which reminds me of times gone by. Would go with a drapey, flutter sleeve thirties style vintage dress to be worn on a...

I am not a fan of the great classics- No. 5, Fracas, Shalimar, etc.; all that dirty vanilla makes me think of that stale smell in "antique" furniture. Joy is somehow different. Elegant and...
