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.

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.

Oddly formal green floral

I can't quite make up my mind about Chamade. For a perfume released at the tail end of the swinging sixties, it has an oddly heavy, formal quality to it. Inspired by a Francoise Sagan novel, La Chamade, the name itself means both the drumbeat of defeat in battle and also the beating of a heart of someone deeply in love. This might suggest that the perfume itself is an expression of heady passion or turmoil - but actually, neither the story of La Chamade or the perfume bear that out.

Chamade is a game of two contrasting parts, specifically a spicy, intensely green floral first half and a vanillic, resinous oriental second half. It is like the story of La Chamade in reverse - first, a repression of feelings painted in the silvery-green sharpness of hyacinth and throat-catching galbanum, before finally sliding into a more relaxed, loved-up base of vanilla, fruit blackcurrant buds, rose and jasmine.

There are two things that I don't really like about Chamade, namely the hissy, aggressively green start (which reminds me uncomfortably of Chanel No. 19) and a certain oily feel to the galbanum and blackcurrant buds in the heart and dry down. But as with everything Guerlain, it is worth persevering with different concentrations and vintages of the scent, to see if one will click for you. I have found that Chamade in pure perfume form (and especially vintage) to have the most astoundingly beautiful vanilla, sandalwood, and blackcurrant base, giving off the pleasing impression of a piece of bread smothered in blackcurrant jam. The modern EDP is a vast improvement on the current EDT, which I find harsh and oily in the extreme. But now I only own the vintage EDT.

In fairness, when Chamade is good, it's brilliant. So, I am constantly in two minds about whether I want to wear it or not. Sometimes, the urge comes upon me and I spray it on, and mostly spend the day regretting my choice. But once in a blue moon, I spray it on and it is absolutely the right thing. The only thing, in fact. I guess my bottle of Chamade stays (for now).

Things that make you go hmm . . .

This modern version (thumbnail) *is* Chamade, but definitely different. I recall the OG being a rose-forward scent, as in a big red rose. Then, a lovely balsamic drydown. Wasn't there tonka in the mix? Any way, it was nutty, chewy, delicious. The whole think sparkled.

This one? Maybe an example of where modernizing has stripped it of its soul. Or, it's eponymous "beating heart," so to speak. Moves quickly through a pretty, green-hyacinth opening into a non-descript floral heart. Pale purple, perhaps even pink? A ever-so powdery. The drydown for me is where it gets weird. Thin, like a vanilla wafer. Not sweet, not woods, not balsamic, yet still a depiction of those things. This day in age, it's like the gen-AI equivalent of Chamade. Shame.

I don't hate, or even dislike, it. Still, it's gonna be more of a dumb reach than a perfume experience. Which is unfortunate for a Guerlain.

Galbanum and light flowers

You need to love galbanum to like this one. It is a green floral that seems powdery/sopay thanks to galbanum. However, the Legendaires edition smells less powdery than older versions (I am comparing to a 2007 EDT) and it is a tricky perfume: it performs dry and green in chilly dry weather, but as soon as the weather gets warm (around +23) and more wet, the hyacinth comes out and it get more floral and even rosy/waxy. Otherwise the hyacinth is hidden and not showing up, remaining closer to Chanel 19.
