Beautyful if it matches your taste
Got me a sample because I want to try scents that are somewhat 'out of my comfort zone'. I do recongnize this fragrance as the beautyful scent that it is: very beautyful composition for those who love a prominent rose in scents. That is why I rated the scent highly although it is not really my choice.
I love the aldehydes and the green notes that initially perform like a sister of Chanel No 19, but the rose actually spoils this for me. A little too lemonade-ish for my likes and I'm a little confused about the fact that it is not listed or rated as (partly) 'sweet'...But I often notice that my perception of 'sweet' is often very different from others or from what is listed: When many people find a scent sweet, I often don't (as in Estée by Estée lauder) and vice versa. This scent I find (too) sweet....I think it is because of the rose. I don't get any powder as I don't get the cloves. Galbanum I know from my beloved Miss Dior Originale, but here I don't really get that either at least not like I smell that in Miss Dior Originale and in Moschino.
But I really think many people will love this scent, it is beautyful. Very feminine and ladylike although I can imagine Nahema to be a better and more impressing option for people who like rose-scents (unless one is aiming for a more office friendly scent ofcourse).
Still...even if Chamade would have been my taste, I am not sure if I would go for a full bottle anyhow because - like others already mentioned - sillage and longevity aren't the best.

Charming
... I think that's more appropriate for this fragrance. Because I think that's what it is: C h a r m a n t . Hardly 5 minutes on my skin, he is already on the wish list.

The aldehydes are followed by a gentle floral-floral-powdery-woody breeze, from which I can sniff out spring. At the same time, I could not name a single note. I'm just gently surrounded by spring. And that's good, because hyacinth and lilac I do not actually like in fragrances.

The only drawback: "Chamade" is very subtle, the sillage rather weak. On the other hand, an EdP would be me probably again too strong, would crush the impression of a "charming breeze".

I thank Sabrina1985 for sharing

Chamade 1999 EDT version reviewed.

Chamade reminds me of the Kim Novak blondes.
Put together, a bit formal but oozing in warmth and quiet sensuality. Chamade belongs alongside First By VCA, another warm floral, Vivre by Molyneux (worn by royalty) and YSL Y (worn by Julie Andrews..more royalty you could say) .

Hyacinth was known as a luxurious flower to be put into fragrances back in the 60s-70s. The balsams, woods keep a powdery warmth and inviting comfort and sensuality to Chamade, and also is brilliant in the way it never veers to sharp like the others mentioned in its similar cohorts, yet accomplishes to feel fresh, luminescent and green in its starting phases, then taken over by a velvet rose and a hint of jasmine. Its just ...exquisite.

Bitter herbs and wildflowers sparkle in the sun. It is a warm day and I am sitting outside in the grass, thinking about how great life is.

A "green" composition with a very strong galbanum note as in N° 19, Crystalle or Calandre. Niche - like unisex for current times.
