I'm accustomed to green fragrances and normally love them. But on me the new Ivoire is naggingly bitter and soapy. In fairness I should say that I found the 1979 Ivoire too aggressive as well, but...

Ivoire was a"blind buy" and a big disappointment for me.
It smells like an old-fashioned soap on my skin.I bit bitter and clean,but not fresh.It is less sharp than the Original Version.

I wish there was a maybe option for the buy again question. I am wildly unsure about this one. I am actually torn between absolutely hating this and wanting to live inside the bottle forever.

A clean, smooth, and elegant floral scent that is not overpowering yet lasts many hours after modest application. One of those “soapy smells of cleanliness”, but in a good way without sharp notes....

I am in the minority on this one. I think this fume is perfectly elegant. Admittedly, the original gives me a smashing headache but I liked it enough to keep trying it despite the headache. This is...

I just purchased this, I wanted the Ellie Saab and the sales girl talked me into this. I liked it and bought it, I got it home and smelled it again and now I'm not sure if I like it as much. The...

First thing I got upon spraying this was a blast of green. Woah! Cut grass, lush green foliage, ivy, moss ... made my eyes water.
However, once the shock of the green tones have passed you're...

Ivoire can be one of those 'difficult' perfumes. Circa 1980, its intense green chypre character is a little standoffish and tightly buttoned. When I picked it up unsniffed for $10 a decade ago I...

This is for the newly relaunched version.
Completely different from the original. Where Ivoire was a green floral chypre, this is plain fruitchouli.

Blindly bought after a lot of research, and I love it. To me it sits alongside Prada Infusion d'Iris in its fresh, unisex quality and shared vetiver and iris notes. B de B is beautifully clean and...

Powdery wood incense with a sharp wood alcohol note. Not bad. Mostly a soft wood incense that I like. It does dry a bit on the masculine side for those who shy away from that, but overall it's nice...

I have heavenly memories of this from the early '80s, but the tester bottle I got a few years ago shattered those memories. I suspect the scent has been reformulated for mass distribution on eBay...

Very lovely fragrance. Has a cozy, buttery sweetness, but it's not gourmand. The woodiness really comes through on my skin. Pleasant and different. Potentially FBW.

I tried a sample and I did not like it. I did not loathe it. Definitely green but it just felt old fashioned. Nothing special.

This is a warm, sweet, musky scent, and seems suitable for both men and women. In fact, this would absolutely be much more delicious on a man than a woman. I prefer the dry down over the initial...
