    It was recommended to me as a powdery amber, and that, plus spicy carnation, is pretty much it to my nose. That plus–THE PAST. Like Le Dix, Normandie smells dated to me. It’s a time machine in a...

    Normandie was originally launched in 1935 to commemorate the crossing of the Atlantic by the ship of the same name. When I first tried this fragrance, I was immediately taken by Normandie's beauty...

    Normadie is sophisticated, tasteful and rich smelling. This is a soft carnation scent richly layered with a gentle amalgam of flowers, woods, fruits, and spices. Listed notes are Fruits, carnation,...

    Normandie is a lovely classic scent, now discontinued, I believe. I agree with Freegracer below that it is neither predominantly feminine nor masculine. I find it a little too strong,...

    At first, it smells "salty," but also has light fruity notees. Dries down to a powdery amber/woods mix--a little spicy. Very nice, but also very similar to more easily available fragrances,...

    Jean Patou was a native son of Normandie, and when he named this perfume after the ocean-liner that bore the same name, honouring its maiden voyage across the Atlantic, he must have thought of his...

    UPDATE: I don't know where my head was. I've raised this review from a "4" to a "5," because this is one of my favorite spicy, woody, ambery, powdery fragrances. That'll teach me to review such...

    After all the years of searching, I think I've found my fragrance Holy Grail. I first became aware of Normandie by reading reviews of it in a few books; it was described as a powdery floral or an...
