    This presents many different scents at different points. It started with a burst of something I didn't like, then morphed into almond, violets, and then powder. Tons of powder. And I'm not...

    Everything’s just right with French Cancan, it says, ‘it doesn’t matter where I find myself in life, because I carry perfection with me’. It has all the elements of a classic perfume, from the...

    I like the parfum version of this better than the edp. It's an old fashioned scent but in a good way. There is an interesting green note that I like. I cannot wear a lot of caron fragrances as I...

    Visions of Offenbach and Toulouse-Lautrec dance in my head...the kitschy-fun name pulled me in, but the fragrance sealed the deal. Beautiful golden layers of flowers (jasmine is most prominent to...

    Not old lady at all (I wish we'd all forget that cliche'), very violet, hint of rose, perhaps so retro it is modern! Deep and inviting, dark purple with some green. Elegant!

    The name of it sounds pretty outrageous, evocative of images of the Moulin Rouge, Les Folies Bergères, Alhambra, et al. I would have expected at least a fragrance reminscent of Toulouse-Lautrec,...

    French Can-Can is very much like a lighter Jolie Madame. "Powdery dark violet" also describes French Can-Can well, though I get some pepper (or vetiver?) and leather too.

    This was lovely on my skin at first. It was beautiful, heady jasmine with something grounded underneath. However, my two criticisms: It turned a little too...overripe, I guess is the word, after...

    On my skin, Caron French Cancan is very old fashioned, very powdery dark violet. I get the same meloncholy feel with it as I do with my beloved Guerlain L'heure Bleue, so naturally, I love...

    Initially, I get a heavy jasmine, LOTV and aldehydes out of this, followed by dark, lush violets. This is very old-fashioned and heavy, but in the classic Caron way - meaning it's quite beautiful...

    These days, it is rare that a fragrance really sparks my imagination and captivates me. When I wear French CanCan I can't stop sniffing myself. Notes: jasmine, lilac, violet, lily of the valley,...

    Three little words describe French Cancan: Oh. La. La. What a marvelous, sophisticated blend this is. It's like a dark violet twilight version of En Avion. Stunningly feminine and sensual with...

    I wanted to purchase a fragrance at Caron and in my mind, I wanted a well-composed floral. French Can-can was the obvious candidate. Upon spraying, it went on as a pure floral with notes of lilac,...

    When I first applied this to my skin, I got an overwhelming sweet floral blast. As it dried down, French Can Can smelled more and more like a close relative of YSL's Paris which I wore when it...

    French Cancan is my newest Caron obsession. I'd read it had violet. The only violet I've ever cared for is SL Bois de Violette, hence, I'd avoided it. Such a mistake. In lighter violet...

    Most interesting, which is why it gets three lippies, and carefully made in the classic manner. It isn't for me, though. It is quite heavy, the base gets louder and more aggressive throughout, and...

    One of my Caron favorite scents. Have a nice generous pure parfum sample. Beautiful, fun.

    This is a great favorite. On me it is quite complex and more dark than sweet - not a brooding dark, but a floral blushed musk that goes well with the idea of decadent nights in Belle Epoque Paris....

    It took me a couple of tries to appreciate this Caron. To be sure, it does not have quite the complexity or that magical quality of blending with the skin that can be found in the best Carons....

    If you like YSL's Champagne (now called Yvresse) you will love this Caron. To me there is so much similarity between these two. Unfortunately, DH does not like either of them, otherwise I'd...
