Galore Germaine Monteil Cologne

Very helpful Review
So Many Compliments!!
Although it was released in 1964, I didn't learn about Galore until 1979, when I was looking for a reasonably priced perfume to use for work. Nobody had recommended it to me, I guess the color of the bottle, made me take a "second look"! I tried a little on my wrist, and literally fell in love with it! It was light and airy, it reminded my of baby powder!
So I bought a bottle, and was most impressed with the price - such a lovely fragrance for so little cost.
For months after starting to use Galore, I was getting stopped in the aisles of stores, AND in the street, "Excuse me, but what is that perfume you are wearing? It's beautiful".
Even men would stop me and ask what perfume it was, as they wanted to buy it for their wives and girlfriends.
Galore was such a light fragrance, sometimes I would forget I had put any on, then, suddenly, the smell of jasmine, or lily of the valley, or one of it's other contents, made me aware that it was still there!
I wore it for years, forsaking all other perfumes, then, as suddenly as I had found it, Galore disappeared, and when I enquired about it, I was told the stores no longer carried Germaine Monteil's products.
Naturally, I tried elsewhere to find it, with no luck, and, of course, back in those days, there were no computers, no cell phones, so finding it became a "lost cause", and eventually I moved on to L'air Du Temps, Chanel, Blue by Dolche & Gahanna.
Nobody could have been more pleased when I finally got my hands on a computer, and was able to research and find Galore again!!
