A wonderfully light-footed 2-in-1 fragrance: Bouquet de Paris can leave the house airy and buoyant as both a bouquet of flowers and a tea scent. With this view, woman could almost justify the exorbitant price she has to pay for it. But only almost. The pricing is beautiful slowly in no relation more.
But enough of that, it only spoils the mood. Bouquet de Paris is namely a really successful, feminine, elegant, light-flooded fragrance. Unlike many floral fragrances that quickly seem flowery, stale and penetrating, this bouquet keeps its airy balance. Maybe because the tea note keeps it happy and keeps it floating?
In any case, I like to wear it on cooler days, because it makes me smile and it reduces the heaviness of the sometimes gray everyday life by its lightness.
At this point, therefore, also a thank you to all Parfumas, which always organize Sharings to him and thus allow me a constant supply. Maybe I should but also just get me a piggy bank called Bouquet, which is then sacrificed on the next Paris trip standesgemäß at Guerlain by all the rules of art:)
A worthier Paris Mitbringsel there is hardly!

In my collection, Jicky has conquered the lonely place at the top for absolute office unsuitability. Unless I change to the accounting department of an hour hotel, he is optimally in place. My vintage version is so indecent and not virginal that I was shocked the first time I put it on. In contrast to the relevantly pre-loaded scent of ELDO, which I found sweetly salty and not X-rated, Jicky spreads the aroma of extensively and above all passionately used sheets and beds... Thankfully no cigarette after, but everything before is in there.... Since the innocent lavender is also of no use:)
Supposedly the Guerlain fragrances used to have the reputation of being for the cocottes, mistresses and other demi-mondains while Caron was for the finer ladies of society. With my Jicky I believe that also immediately!

This is one of those fragrances that have accompanied me for 25 years. At that time very intense, because great love, now more in the background, because Parfumo promiscuity. So he comes on days where I want to reminisce to use.
Originally, it was a matter of a miss test: I was on vacation in Sicily and wanted to test the newly released Aqua die Parma. In the perfumery, however, there was only this. Reluctant and disappointed, I sprayed on the Classica, as a consolation prize, so to speak, and wandered off. This magical water has not let me go, however, and so I am quite remorseful after half an hour back to the perfumery and bought it for me.
For the next 3 years (at least!), Aqua Classica was my year-round companion. Its wonderful balance of citrus, greenery and woods warmed me up in cold winters and cooled me down in hot summers. Of course, since it was only available in Italy, that meant increased travel there to maintain the supply chain...
Back then, the label was also more retro and playful than the one on the current fragrance photo. Meanwhile, the fragrance is apparently no longer in production. Too bad! Lovers of the genre could console themselves with Eau du Sud by Goutal but a little. I will use my bottle well-dosed and set on certain days on nostalgia.

It's a good thing I didn't look at the fragrance notes or the pyramid before testing, because otherwise I would never have struck here because of the fruit and sugar fear: This wonderful composition actually opens fruity, but the sweetness is pleasantly balanced by the citrus and never seems cheap-synthetic-rose-candy-like. Equally balancing are the jasmine and the woods, which put everything together harmoniously here.

A touch of summer exoticism under palm trees floats over this coral water, but without coconut, gardenia and tiare / monoi. For those who need quite urgently (as yes quite a lot of poor Parfumos here...) a summer fragrance, but are afraid of lemon toilet stone, Blümerantum and equally Pina Colada, L'Eau Corail could definitely be worth a test.

I find it rather feminine. For the men of creation, there is from the same house and something woodier yet fruity the Vie de Château Intense. Intense castle life in the summer thus. For the lady of the castle, however, this coral cocktail served chilled on the terrace. Heart what do you want more?

The less enthusiastic statements about the fragrance I can not quite understand. Yes, here is little rose in it and the wheel is definitely not reinvented, but the combination of grapefruit and caramel (ethylmaltol?) is charmingly tart-sweet and not quite so ubiquitous.
I usually give anything gourmand and caramelly a very wide berth, but here I'm well entertained. Do I need a whole bottle? Definitely not, but joy in testing comes up all the time.
For easy-going afternoons on the terrace with the girlfriends and our favorite companion Prosecco rosé. Cheers!
