Une Fleur de Chanel was a pleasant surprise to me. It is perfect for spring. I especially love the top notes, because they are aquatic, peachy and bright. After the top notes quickly fade, what re...

This is an odd atmospheric scent rather than a perfume to wear when one wants to feel beautiful. Its blend of "iris palida" on a base of musks and balsam of Chinese spicebush is like the ghost of a p...
