Happy New Year!
The more I’ve read about perfumes, the more deficient I’ve felt not loving a Guerlain fragrance. Well, today all that has changed. I’ve finally found a Guerlain fragrance that is not only tolerable – it’s totally wearable.
Champs Elys é es is a sexy sultry fragrance. Like Bond No 9’s Chinatown, Champs Elys é es is the type of fragrance that you smell on glamorous women. Wearing Champs Elysees give you a smidge of the confidence that those women seem to be born with. Like the Narcis o Rodriguez For Her fragrance, this is one that I want to smell stronger. I feel the need to apply more and more to get a proper whiff.
As to defining this fragrance – it smells slightly smoky. But other than that, quite floral. OsMoz describes Champs Elysées as top notes of peach, melon, violet and anise. Heart notes of mimosa, rose, peony and lily of the valley and Base notes of Vanilla, Benzoin, Cedar and Sandal.
Fragrance Editions say that if you like Champs Elysées you will also like Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B.
Fragrance Direct sells a 30ml Champs Elysees EdT for £18.
