Acaciosa Caron for women

What I tried was the pure parfum, presumably a vintage version. This is not acacia, but a sweet, slightly indolic, honeyed floral with a tinge of root beer initially. The floral part is ylang-ylang along with some white flowers like jasmine and orange blossom. After reading that one of the notes is pineapple, I can see how it might be. Even though I don’t smell it explicitly it contributes a syrupy, canned-pineapple vibe to the top notes.

As it dries down, I can start to smell sandalwood in the base. The sillage is moderate, but a tiny dab lasts all day on skin. Although this is a classic vintage perfume, I could easily wear it anywhere. I like it, and am glad that my sample is generous enough to last through many applications.

(Pure Parfum Review)

Narcisse Noir + Joy = Acaciosa

Smells like a vintage bouquet of white flowers!

Extremely better than Or et Noir and N`Aimez Que Moi. Fortunately this is the kind of Rose notes I was expecting from Caron. Jasmine and Rose are the two dominant initial notes in this fragrance.

Acaciosa and Joy share this resinous-animalistic vintage feeling that I love.

This is a huge Masterpiece!!!

My goodness, this scent is scorchingly sexy; I LOVE it !! Very fruity and rich with a velvety dry-down :)

Blame it on just returning from Maui, but i do detect the pinapple here, and it is delightfully crisp and mouth watering.

I've read that pineapple contains an ingredient that is supposed to help with depression. Indeed, whenever I am anxious i tend to crave it. How interesting that this note caught the perfumer's nose in 1924, which was firmly in the grip of the optomistic, sky is the limit, roaring 20's.

This is a happy scent. It is also one of the few (the first for me, actually) Caron's that opens pleasantly from the get-go; there is no wait time while it develops.

During the dry down this does get sweeter, channeling that aspect of the 20s where people had too much of a good thing. Like others have said, it is a bit pungent, which works here by holding the jasmine at bay. This is another star on the Caron 'how did we do this week' sheet.
