This is a review of the current reformulated version (created in 1992).

Ernest Beaux is the father of the original formula - (and the father of Chanel No. 5) - so Chanel's Jacques Polge and Francois Demachy reformulated it in the 90's - and came up with an underrated marvel. Head-notes are bergamotte and violet, the heart is very flowery with lilac, rose, jasmin, clover and linden blossom. The drydown is composed of vetiver and vanilla. It is very beautiful, strikingly elegant and at the same time it will not hurt anybody's nose. It's what I'd call the incarnationof a very fine fragrance in the classic French style.

a bit vintage

I so rememeber this because apparently the previous owners of the victorian I grew up in dumped their trash in the backyard. My brother & I loved to dig up treausures from out backyard, and I found several EIP bottles, some still w/ fragrance in them! I remember it to be a bit powdery and it had a familiar floral that I liked (sort of violet-ish). My favorite bottle was a bullet shaped bottle w/ a tassle.

tessture

Evening in Paris started out alot like a Chanel fragrance, very French and aldehydic, but it faded fast to a nasty Jasmine-Lily of the Valley scent that always smells like rotting white flowers on me. Then it dried down finally to a faint, pleasant, sandalwood vanilla musk. When I washed it off, it left a faint taint like vintage dusting powder. It smells strangely like a mock of itself: I 'French' scent that everybody wore because it was affordable. Well worth visiting for the vintage-vacation alone. Not sure it's worth a full bottle, however. The true vintage of this, if you can find some that hasn't turned, is very layered, rich and ringing with formal elegance. It dries down a bit powdery, too, however, though it still hints at a beautiful made-up face, with lipstick and powder, furs and perfumes.
