Chamade was created by Paul Guerlain in 1969, and it was inspired by the Francoise Sagan's novel “La Chamade”. In the time of Napoleon, ‘chamade’ was a very fast drumbeat that called to retreat. This perfume is meant to emulate the heavy heartbeat of a person in love and its fragrance is based on hyacinth, heavy and green, and blackcurrant that can be sensed through the oily hyacinth richness. The fragrant love story is rounded by a pretty bottle in a shape od upside down turned heart, pierced by an arrow – a symbol of surrender to love. The main notes are Turkish rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, lilac, blackcurrant buds, lily of the valley, galbanum, sandalwood, vetiver, musk, amber, iris, and Tonka bean.

The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Paul Guerlain.

A dear friend of mine uses Chamade. It is p e r f e c t on her, so perfect that I must try it on. Even though it's really hers.
She used Shalimar before, and this is so much better.

Hmmm...I can't follow the excitement about this parfum. I'm on trying all the old Guerlain and Estee Lauder classics, but this is old-lady-like to me. It doesn't have any charm, like Youth Dew or Shalimar has. I'm disappointed.

Chamade was my first Guerlain fragrance - 15 yrs ago, and became the "training wheels" to my growing love for the Guerlain classics. I bought it (based on the top notes and was the favorite of the 3 scents I tried) while vacationing in SF at a Guerlain boutique. It smelled so lush and elegant! It didn't take long for me to grow to love the powdery drydown. So feminine....

Slightly powdery dry down and a bit dated, but rather nice in an old fashioned way. Over notes are a bit like cosmetic powder, but under notes are creamy floral. First application is dreadful, but passes quickly

Chamade from 1969 is nearly a perfect fragrance, but there is some component in it which I do not like, some green, biting undertone. It becomes a bit aggressive when I wear it - or vice versa - I become aggressive. Too bad, I would have loved to buy it because of its beautiful flacon (the extrait).

I tested Chamade, and in a way I liked it. It seems to be very special, very "different" scent... Difficult to describe.

But it is so very, very strong... To me it seemed to be the strongest scent which I ever smelled. I can't imagine appropriate situation for wearing this perfume, although I like it.

Chamade is a mixture of woody-flowery and amber notes (ambré, fleuri, boisé). The top notes are rose, jacinthe and lilac, then in the heart you smell bergamote and plum and the dry-down is very warm, with jasmine, amber, vanilla, oakmoss and patchouli. This perfume has a radiant smell, yet there is a sharp, fresh note in it. It was announced as the perfume "qui se rit du temps qui passe" - and has become a timeless classic indeed.

Love this one ... rich green florals, sharp blackcurrant bud, plush sandalwood and orris notes - piquant with a hint of powder.
