Yes, I agree it's a like a primitive version of Shalimar. But it's purer and hasn't the industrial chemical sidenote. I detested these two fragrances a child, but now I huff them! There's nothing better.

I owned a bottle of this in the 80's and loved it. Now, I understand, the new bottles available for sale are utter dreck - a synthetic mess.

But I just won an auction for VINTAGE (possibly 70's? certainly older than my 80's rectangular bottle with the white plastic top) Emeraude parfum de toilette, and it came in the mail today. It smells just as gorgeous as I remember, and even softer, without a hint of sharpness. The citrus in the top is very mellow, like marmalade or liqueur, and it flows lazily into the floral heart, which in this vintage formulation seems composed of natural jasmine, rather than the slightly-screechy synthetic that I remember. The benzoin/vanilla base permeates throughout the entire experience, as plush as Scarlett O'Hara's velvet-curtain dress. The fragrance seems designed to nestle in cleavage and behind ears, perfectly feminine.

I disagree with those of you who feel that Emeraude is a version of Shalimar. It may be that since I actually wore Emeraude for a few years and have a whole set of memories associated with it, and since I've never regularly worn Shalimar, I see the differences more than the similarities. True, they're both orientals with vanillic bases and citrus up top - but to me, Emeraude smells romantic while Shalimar smells sexual. Shalimar is genius in its own way, and possibly made with better raw materials, but I prefer the soft loveliness of Emeraude. Of all the fragrances I've ever worn, Emeraude is the most "me."

I would AVOID the currently-available stuff and go straight for the vintage on ebay.

I totally agree that this fragrance is a very close relative of Guerlain's Shalimar. Their bases are almost identical, just Emeraude is a little lighter, less sweet and it does not cause me headache like Shalimar. A really great fragrance!

P.S. This review is for the vintage Emeraude:)

This is a really pretty scent that smells almost identical to "Shalimar" by Guerlain, for about 1/10th the price.

I was intrigued by the lime color and long history of this scent, so I bought it- and realized it was very familiar! Someone from my past wore this, and I instantly recognized it. I love the citrus, especially the lime in the topnotes, and the warm, powdery drydown is lovely. An oldie, but a goody- it is better than it's price would suggest.

Powdery, soft, greenish, but not in an herbal way. It smells it's age, but not dated, somehow. Feminine and soft. Notes gleaned from online are: Top: lemon, bergamot, and orange. Mid: jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang follows, B: balsamic finish of vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli.

I wish I could smell it.
I read about it in a book, where one of the characters, a sexy librarian, wears it all the time. I especially like the name, it sounds very mean and seductive in French.
I picture it as a head turning smell, a real killer (in a good way, of course).

LOVE this stuff. I'm not ashamed that its a 'Drugstore' perfume either. The women in my family wore this and it brings back great memories. This often gets compared to Shalimar but, this is way better in my opinion. To me, Shalimar smells like a band-aid thats been dusted with baby powder. I love wearing this in the fall/winter. Would love to have a vintage bottle of this.
