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.
