Overrated. Powdery, but dull. Doesn't smell of much... I bought it because of the lovely art-déco flacon, but I won't wear it.
Don't understand what makes it so famous. Can't be the fragrance...

Very special, flowery-aldehydic, subtle, intersting.
In spite of its name "Nocturne", I think it is perfect for daytime use.
Came out in the eighties, but has no touch of loudness or vulgarity...

Caron is one of the last, if not the very last, fragrance "house." All fragrances are now being made by designers; Calvin Klein, Halston, Chanel, Vera Wang, Yves St. Laurant, etc. or Cosmetic...

Young and fresh, tenacious, lovely top-notes, rather unconfortable drydown - where could this come from, I ask myself. I used to love this in my twenties, but can't identify myself with the scent...

I appreciate what Tabac Blond was trying to do, but on me it isn't working. It starts out fairly interesting, with a leathery herbal scent (I'm reminded of Guerlain Vetiver), but as it develops it...

There's something in Aimez-Moi that reminds me about Lolita Lempicka... it must be the licorice and anise scent! But it is a much more elegant and sophisticated version, with more depth and a...

I recently discovered a bottle of the pure parfum that was somehow left over from a 4-pack of Caron parfums my mom gave me 20 years ago. Either Bellodgia improves with age, or I'm old enough to...

I got a generous sample of Tobac Blond a while back and although I wouldn't wear this often, I can appreciate this unique scent being the perfumista I am. Starts out smelling like a packet of...

Tabac Blond reveals a different facet to me each time I wear it. The first time I tried it on my skin, I was greeted with a huge, golden amber aroma. The next time, there was the smell of tobacco -...

Goes on orange blossom, sunscreen and bugspray and fades down to an almost resinous delicious base. After dry down, it reminds me faintly of Sticky Cake and at other times of the yellow pollen you...

This is a lovely fragrance, probably best for cold days. I was a bit torn between 3 and 4 (thinking that 3.5 would have been the right rating) ... but then I remembered that I tried it on a pretty...

I am very picky about my lavender scents. Some are too sharp, some too green, some too medicinal, some too manly, etc. I don't like the fabled SL lavender and incense scent one bit, for example. ...

I've new to the carnation fragrance phenomenon. I must say I've never actually smelled a nice carnation in real life - only the cheapy one's from the supermarket that smell like a refrigerator. ...

Acaciosa is a delicious, resinous jasmine with a streak of pineapple running through it. Not a sunny, bright pineapple, but a dark, caramelized one. This might make it sound like Acaciosa is a...

I dearly wanted to love this one, but it brings out the note in carnation that smells like those thick, plasticky waterproof bandaids. ...

Oh, dear. I saw this referred to as "violet gummy bears" on Basenotes, and that is the perfect description of how it smells on me. If it weren't for the ribbed pedestal and the gold cap, I'd...

I have mixed feelings about carnation, my favourite carnation-based fragrances are Dianthus and Fragonard's Billet Doux, which are round, soft carnation-based fragrances, but this one is too much...
