    OK, so what does a palace whore smell like? Evidently a lot like rosewater and baby powder spilled in a leather pouch. I don't get the heavy, sexy animal notes. I don't get anything remotely...

    Yes, I get the dirty, fresh-sweat, silk lingerie note, HOORAY. This is intermingled with floral powder and sugar. As if you had a lunchtime tryst, didn't have time to shower afterwards so sprayed...

    In my entire time writing beauty product reviews, I've avoided ageism because I really believe that anything someone loves has an inherent beauty which transcends superficial stuff like age. That...

    Really like this scent and I presume the name is a joke because this scent smells downright virginal on me. Very light floral bouquet with a smidge of leather - think Jolie Madame lite. This is a...

    I can understand the name--though perhaps it could have also been called "Belle du Jour," because it really makes me think of Catherine Deneuve's Séverine. To be more descriptive about the scent...

    I really wish this one was raunchy on me. All I smelled was pleasant but boring face powder mixed with white, dusty baking flour. Where is the putain? All I got was the palaces. EDIT: I am...

    I'm not a big fan of the ELOs, but I adore this scent. What surprises me, though, is how no one can mention the lovely, lovely RAUNCH of this scent. Yes, it is powdery. Yes, there are florals. But...

    I have to change this review because I have smelled quite a few fragrances since I first wrote it. Putain is not as skanky as you'd think. The face powder is evident in it; although I don't like...

    I have to give this fragrance kudos for being the very first fragrance that, in five years of testing, literally produced an instantaneous and hideously strong migraine. I couldn't tell you the...

    I'm middle of the road on this one. Overall, it's a nice, pleasant floral, but there's a note under there...Yes, she is the hotel whore, and she is pretty and sweet and she bathes regularly. In...

    Dreadful name for a dreadful perfume just about sums this one up. This putain obviously has not washed for several days and then lounged around chain smoking after (or possibly during) her...

    I bought this on a whim from the stor at rue des archives in Paris, because everyone raved about it here on MUA. Unfortunately, this was a simple perfume that is nice upon first spray but within an...

    Glad I got a sample. This is very cheap-smelling and gives me an instant headache. Smells like the new Guerlains...really sweet and incense-y and overpowering. Just...no. EDIT: I was trying like...

    I see Putain des Palaces and Fifi working the same beat. They look similar - beautiful and ultra-feminine and oh-so-sexy - but Fifi's preferred tool of the trade is a long magenta feather. Putain...

    Very interesting violet, very pretty! The name is misleading, although the drydown does have the slightest hint of leather, which may be the reason for the suggestive name.

    I admit...I bought this perfume for the naughty name. I bought it unsniffed and since I am not a seasoned fraggie, I had no idea what to expect even after reading what the "notes" were. The only...

    Such a provocative name for such a refined, sensual scent! Putain des Palaces is a rich floral accentuated by the scent of soft, well-worn leather and ambery musk. It begins rather demurely - with...

    Having now tried all the scents in this line which tends more towards originality than prettiness, I found this one of the most immediately appealing. However it's not as easy to wear as it first...
