If memory serves me, this scent was reformulated sometime in the last decade, and the current version, while lovely, makes me yearn for the version I fell in love with in the early 1980s. The spiky floral beginning is still great, and the drydown is very much like the 1980s version of the scent, a dreamy, creamy amber. The middle part is where, for me, the new Le De really takes a departure from its 1980s predecessor, with much more emphasis on the lily of the valley, and far less emphasis on the lilac. All in all, though, Le De remains the class of the field of Givenchy scents -- rich and radiant, discreet and delicate. And gorgeous.

Eek! Alcohol alert! Soooo green to begin with it gave me a sharp headache right away...then, as I tried to bear with it & understand it, it eventually becomes a herbal bath soak complete with gallons of freshly drawn water. The coriander, tarragon & bergamot save the floral assault - but it stays far too sharp for far too long on my skin.

This is not my kind of fragrance at all, but I do understand it defines a time. Freshly polished wooden staircases & G&T would go well with this ol' gal.

Based on the description and history of this fragrance, I really wanted to like it. While it has many delicious notes (bergamot, jasmine and others to start, then sandlewood, amber, musk in the drydown), to me it smells powdery and old fashioned similar to Chanel 5, a fragrance I like on others but not on me. This is one of the few perfumes that gives me a headache. When first sprayed, there is a lot of alcohol and harsh floral scents; later dies down to "old lady" powder - mild but not especially pleasant.
