      Frédérique-- what a perfect video for me!! Usually when I go back the first places I go are to Fragonard in Nice, or Èze or in the big department store like Galleries Lafayette so I can get my rare favorites and try new samples! I love two favorites of my mother and also the second one was also loved by Jackie Bouvier Kennedy-- the Guerlain Shalimar and Vol de Nuit ( I saw her big bottle in a movie about her!) Vol de Nuit is another one where one could be on the Orient Express! I loooove it, but it's hard to find. You have to go to Paris and the _grands magazines_.
      A newer Cartier that I really love is Panthère! I found it in France about 3-5 years ago, and I love it so much! I always get compliments on it.
      Also love the new No. 5 L' Eau de Chanel which is totally different from No. 5. I also am not really very fond of No 5, which for some reason doesn't suit me at all, ( too strong and maybe metallic + sweet) but I got a sample of the L'Eau and that is magic. It has a quality of _Rive Gauche_ ( which I love) or maybe _Knowing_ but it's so fresh and so sharp, chic. Paris! It's become a go-to. I also do not like sweet perfumes, and there are too many vapid and sweet ones around right now. But I love summer fragrances like _Soleil_ of Fragonard. If I am going out ( after the pandemic) for the evening I will stick to Shalimar, or Panthère or No.5 L'Eau!

      Hello Frédérique, my favorite fragrance is Perfume de Pau by Claude Montana. It is so sophisticated and unique and represents my personality. It is really hard to get, but thus far, I haven't found any proper replacement for it. My second favorites Coco Noir and Womanity (Mugler).

    I never thought I would love any perfume as much as I do Cacharel’s Anais Anais. It has such a clean floral smell, like powder or soap. One new one I do love is Jo Malone’s Wild Bluebells, but it’s super fast-fading, even for a cologne, and doesn’t come in the longer-lasting perfume form. My Anais Eau de Cologne lasts all day. Fragrances made in France are always the best, the French have a long tradition of expert fragrance-making and always use high-quality natural ingredients. The only downside is that bees think I’m a flower and sometimes get a bit in my face.

    • @danielleS257

      Anais Anais was the first “nice” perfume I owned. Asked & received for my 16th birthday. Loved. Give Pure Grace by Philosophy a try. Very clean & soap like. Or Amazing Grace also by Philosophy, more floral than the Pure Grace but still clean. These are my every day perfumes.

Now I'm 30 and all these years I have collected so many bottles, because I love to set mood around me with colors and scents so for every day with different outfit, different weather and different place I choose to use different fragrance. I love them all and it's hard to choose favorite, but I think that YSL Black Opium, Givenchy Irresistible Delicieuse and Lanvin Eclat has special place in my heart.

Any day that you are alive is a special day and just as you make a point of paying all those household/car/insurance etc. bills, one bill that is important to pay for is for a nice perfume for you, the queen. Don't expect anyone to get it for you, get it and make it happen soon. Also, it doesn't have to be extremely expensive. $75.00 is enough to get a small bottle of something nice. Do it even if you have to save $10 in a cookie jar every month. You deserve it. I almost cried when I read your comment.

    Coco Mademoiselle is definitely now for me. It reminds me of my mom who passed away in 2020. Homage to her and the patchouli base always works for me. Recently I've received or purchased No.5 Eau, Black Opium,and L'INTERDIT. J'adore EAU DE ROCHAS. Coriandre is also a fresh scent and a bargain one that doesn't disappoint.

I have Eilat a great deal of weight recently and am looking to establish a style for the new me. I am 68 and don’t want to dress too young or too frumpy. Classic French style has great appeal for me.

    Chanel Number 5 is my all time favorite perfume. When I was about five years old, I used to sit at my mother's vanity and open up her bottle of No. 5. I loved the scent then and still do to this day, it is my signature scent. It's 100 years old this year! Last year in Paris, my husband bought me Chanel 1957 - it is exclusive to Chanel boutiques only. I love it but no one every says "that smells so nice" You don't hear much about this one. Glad to hear about the other French perfumes you mention as I am always on the hunt for a good perfume. Lancome - ugh - way to sweet, only like this brand for some of their makeup products.

    Oh, I loved this video. It brought back great memories... You are absolutely correct on testing a fragrance before purchase. I have had some hits and misses through the years. For me; in the '90's; I loved Lancome's "Tresor". I did feel like a "treasure" when I wore it and in the summertime; it was Lancome's "O de Lancome". So fresh and vibrant. For the past two years; while not French; I have loved Philosophy's "Ballet Rose" eau de parfum. It works well with my chemistry. I get so many complements. I do like to try new items but love the old too.

Today I like smaller parfumerie products such as Providence Perfume Company’s Rose Boheme or Vientiane. Also a big fan of NY parfumerie called Le Labo their Rose 31 is a very sensual, complex perfume that gets lots of compliments.

    Guerlain - Eau Cologne Imperiale, Vetiver, Herba Fresca and Mitsouko
    Yves St Laurent - Rive Gauche
    Clarins - Eau Dynamisante
    I know these aren't French but my other favourites are 4711 and Acqu Di Parma's Colonia
    I much prefer the older perfumes as I find new ones too sweet for me. As you can see I like fresh, Chypre and Woody.
