    I hate to give this well-beloved perfume a less-than stellar review, but I really must. As I feared, all Chanels, especially older ones with aldehydes, turn to pure flowery soap on me. Granted this...

    Oh, no, no. Too sweet, too rich, overwhelming musk, heavy. Probably b/c of aldehydes. Not in my style. Yuck! I did not find any nice Chanel yet.

    I don't like the EDT in this - very strong and spicy, more masculine. Parfum is more feminine. Kind of like Coco pumped up. Very spicy, sandlewood, and sweet.

    Love it, love it, love it. Soft, woody vanilla. It reminds me of Flex shampoo and conditioner....maybe balsam? It's the perfect woody fragrance. I got a decant of EDT and my mother immediately...

    I like the way the parfum turns into blond woods ....after awhile. I wish it would be a tad woodier I guess, or muskier, as jeanjeanvaljean has also said . It IS very reminiscent of good smelling...

    I want to love this. It is a nice sandlewood scent. The EDT is too spicy and dry for me - parfum is quite rich and sweet. I just wish it had more of the "Chanel oomph", the aldehydes,...

    While I liked this fragrance I found it to fade very fast on my skin and for this reason I did not like it. But what I did like about it was that it was light and with a hint of florals.

    This scent is right there on the borderline for me...the borderline of "too woodsy." It reminds me very much of Shiseido Feminite du Bois. I do like Bois des Iles, and I reach for it from time to...

    This is a dead ringer for SL Bois et Fruits. I love it, but I already have Bois et Fruits. But if I didn't, or couldn't find SL, I would get this one.

    I tried the perfume version of Bois des Iles. This scent was way too powdery and heavy on the aldehydes on me, and while I could detect some soft floral notes, they were overwhelmed by other...
