I bought a sample of this as part of a larger attempt to test as many violet-based fragrances as I could get my hands on. In the end, I learned I favor the more rococo, powdery and slightly sweeter...

My flacon of NUIT DE NOËL in the EDT came in today. It is a full tester flacon dating to the 1970's, so I'm guessing the oakmoss and musks are authentic. Interestingly, the atomiseur is not...

I love it. I was trolling the beauty blogs one day with a problem. I am prone prickly heat. My grandma had gifted me an old powder box with puff. I filled it with my choice of powder. It worked...

I only had an extremely small amount to try, unfortunately, but this was an exquisite violet fragrance with the Caron base. I loved it and would like to try more!

I wore this years ago. More aldehydic than Farnesiana and Une Fleur de Cassie with a richer dry down. Agree with ellizam that it reads like a Chanel.

I am a woman who loves to wear vintage fragrance, niche and men's cologne. This is one that could be considered unisex and is a sweet floral fougere from the 1980s. It doesn't feel 1980s...

I love this for its heavenly creamy soft dry down. Completely Unisex. Weathered reformulation well.
My grandfather wore Yardleys English Lavander, and he would have liked Pour Un Homme. Pour...

Tobacco, pine, leather, incense and arid wood. No skank or celery or marijuana. It's dry but uncluttered. If this was released today it would be a modern niche unisex cult favorite.

Ok....on paper, this one smells divine---I blind bought it (it was inexpensive, and for vintage Caron who can argue?). On my skin we had about an hour of HOLY SOAP, BATMAN! Like very heavily...

I have a classic one shade noisette and a transparent one shade naturelle, classic one is good enough, nothing to say. Officially the transparent version is designed for dry skin, but what i think...

Opens fresh, a bit too sweet, one note for me. (The sweetest rose I happen to like is discontinued l' arte di Gucci EDP, not EdT). I jotted down a synopsis of rose scents in my review of Heeleys ...
