Champs Elysees (for women)

a bit vintage

I wore this quite a few years ago and enjoyed it so much. I won a bottle of this not long ago, and I'm so happy to have it again. It's so beautiful. Feminine, french, soft, and gentle. It's a classic for sure, and the bottle feels divine to hold!

I'm in love with this perfume, I wanted to buy it for my College Degree ceremony but it wasn't available, however the saleswoman applied it on me from her exhibition sample and I absolutely loved how long lasting it is, this is definitely a perfume to make an impression, the scent even remained on my car for several days.
It is romantic, elegant, classy and feminine, another work of art from Guerlain.

Instant headache and nerves! i don't know why. The scent itself is very feminine, light compared to other Guerlains, a fresh whif of mimose on a sweetish woody base, bright and elegant. I can't simply wear it or even smell it without feeling sick.

Champs Elysees is a lot more luminous and floral than the other Guerlain fragrances..only in the base notes does it become very "guerlain".To me it embodies the typical french perfume..elegantfull bodied, but also very feminine and well balanced!
a 5 star scent!!

Here is what I have HEARD about Champs Elysees: It's cynical. A jaded, bitter, and hopeless act, perpetrated by the too-great-for-the-modern-nose, master perfumer JP Guerlain. He demonstrates that he can crank out a bore, and that he understands what drivel comprises the "best seller". He leaves all artistry and magic out of the quotient... And low and behold, it is a runaway success. Don't we look foolish!

Here is what I THINK: It is a well-done, classic fragrance. It demonstrates JP Guerlain's mastery in a really impressive way, since he could easily venture into a less-than-"exciting" genre, and raise the proverbial bar! Granted, it is more "accessible" than other Guerlains. But it *will* stand the test of time. It is a classic already, face it.

And on a personal note: it's the only make-upey, creamy, floral mimosa fragrance I know that I want to smell more of!

Bravo.

This is one of the most interesting perfumes for me, it's truly feminine, delicate, mysterious. Lasts long giving me this exquisite flowery fruity experience each time I wear it. I bought a few bottles over the past few years, cannot get bored with this extraordinary composition of scents. It is fresh, but miraculously fresh, not just ordinarily fresh. No young/old age limits here. I may try other new fragrances and like them for a while but to this one I always come back like a true lover

Champs Elysees is a delightfully fresh, yet non-overpowering fragrance. It is light and airy and brings me back to the sweet, inviting smells like Le Jardin des Tuileries or Le Bois de Boulogne I walked through when I visited Paris last year!
It is light and sexy, and can be worn during the day or for a night out.
I love this perfume and receive many compliments - from friends and from strangers!

I have the huge 3.4 oz of the EDT. A gift from my boyfriend. I had wanted it for some years, and it can be an airy and delicate scent if you spray lightly. I never push the nozzle all the way down, just half way. I think it's absolutely the mimosa that makes this fragrance. The yellow flower is what makes it "French". It's powdery and overwhelming if you spray too much. This is an all events perfume, I wear it everywhere and any time of year. This is chic, feminine and like Spring. I don't smell this often on other women, so it is a signature for those who love it. I'm sure the EDT and EDP differ greatly. I want to smell the EDP eventually, but this is hard to find. He had to order online, and I'm sure some time from now I will too. Edit- Now that I have had the EDT for some months, the lasting power is incredible. How much more impact can the EDP hold? A mystery, and I must find it....

It was a present for me and i did not like that scent. always tried to use it aiming finish it sooner...

I got three perfumes from a program through where I work - this was the only one I hadn't smelled before, but I thought "no risk, no gain, no chance for pleasant surprises"! And it was a pleasant surprise. The powder-soft lilac and mimosa that opens the scent is just lovely, and as it dries down the floral scent opens further, becomes less powdery and more sharp and clear, roses and other florals coming to the fore. I really love the scent.

guest_babyboo

this has been MY perfume ever since It came out in 1996... I've been wearing it for 12 years now. It's like my signature smell. The thing I like the most about it, is that it is not a typical perfume. Although that fact makes it difficult to find in some perfumestores. I've had to order it in the past year because they don't stock it anymore

mellybee

This is a jolly joker scent, you can't go wrong with it. I wear it all over the year. As anise is my most hated note I was afraid not to enjoy this perfume but it totally settles into the composition, I can't smell it.

guest_Rebecca

It's beautiful, and so wearable. It's definitely a classic and signature fragrance. The lasting power is amazing, just a small spray of the EDT goes all day. I imagine the EDT and EDP are different.

FANNY

it smells like a fruity sampoo on my skin! i wanted so much to like it but it seems that it's not my taste's choice!

tessture

Gorgeous, light and airy, this has no lasting power at all on my skin in the Edt. Fruited top notes pass away quickly in a mad rush past the florals down to the sweet vanilla base then vanish as if they've never been. Too bad, because it's lovely.

sjanira

I think this perfume is delicate but in time. At first it can be a little strong and smell a little off. As it settles on the skin it becomes softer and sweet still maintaining that Guerlain style. I like it, it's very different and feminine.

Kittycat63

Champs Elysees is a lovely perfume. It's floral, fruity, slightly creamy and very distinctive. It stands out from so many other perfumes out there which are bland and smell-alikes. It's very feminine and elegant but could be worn by any woman in any age group. It has excellent staying power without being overbearing and can easily be worn at any time, day or night. I can highly recommend this perfume.

BethAshley

Champs Elysees is a delicate fragrance that flutters across your skin. It is light and cheery with predominantly floral notes, most notably lily of the valley and rose. The fruity notes stop it from becoming too "old lady" with their juicy freshness.

For me the best part of this fragrance occurs 30 minutes after you first spray it on. The florals are still evident but small kisses of almond start to peek through.

This is a wonderful choice for a day scent weekend or office use.

tessture

Light, airy, lovely, with absolutely no lasting power in the Edt.

blue_bear

Not sure I like it... all I can smell is lilly of the valley and something like wine... I'm not impressed as I expected to be. And it's pretty expensive.

Taliera

I usually like florals. But this one... uurgh! The first 5 *seconds* are pleasant, attractive, fruity. Then I feel so nauseous... It's too sweet and ridiculously fruity!

hollivomitsyou

if i tried to think of one word for this it would be feminine. it's clean without being cold. i would like to wear this on a summer day off. but i think it is more multipurpose than just a summer day as well.

Migotka

At present I am wearing Verry Irresistible Sensual- it does not seem very strong. I spray it before I leave home, and it lasts pretty long. I got quite a few compliment on it as well. If it was too strong, my boss would certainly made a point, since we are not allowed to use very strong perfume at my workplace.
Othersiwe- Femme might be a very good choice. I had it for quite a while, it is a very subtle, floral fragrance. My sister has recently got it for work as well.
Another great one I just thought of would be Omnia Amethyste by Bvlgari.

Gracias, Luciana!
A mi si me gustan fragancias citricas y las de bergamot, pero con tu opinion tan circunstanciada me hiciste mas interesada en probarlo!!
(Sorry, no tengo acentos aqui en la oficina!)

Migotka,
I also wear V.Irresistible in the office but it seems to aggressive and strong (although mild and floral), or am I wrong? Actually, this is the reason for my new search of an office-scent.

Luciana

Una vez que pruebes cualquier perfume Guerlain estarás perdida. Yo conoci esta gran marca francesa gracias a una muestra de aqua allegoria que me regalaron con mi compra en una perfumeria. A partir de entonces me anime a probar otras variedades de guerlain para conocer cual era el perfume que mas se ajustaba a mi.

El Champs Elysees es un perfume de gran calidad, de larga duración. Tiene una gran personalidad por lo que se te hara dificil encontrar algo que se le parezca. Nunca vi un perfume imitacion que recordara lo mas minimo a Champs Elysees, y mira que hay imitaciones buenas.

Tiene una base de vainilla, con corazon de mimosa y suaves notas de rosa.
La verdad es que no es un perfume que pueda usarse a diario debido a su sofisticado caracter, por lo menos a mi no me parece que sea el mas adecuado para llevar en la cola del carrefour. Es mas bien un perfume de ocasion, destinado a ayudar a recordar momentos especiales.

Viene presentado en un frasco muy clasico, de lineas rectas, y por supuesto con el sello de guerlain.
El precio es un poco alto, pero como comentaba en otra opinion sobre otro perfume, lo bueno se paga. No se puede comparar la perdurabilidad de este perfume con la de uno barato por muy bien que huela.
Las que están puramente interesadas en las fragancias cítricas o en las orientales no van a encontrar en este excelente perfume de Guerlain LA COLONIA DE SUS VIDAS, sin embargo yo pienso que incluso ellas se sentirán contentas de variar sus perfumes habituales para usarla alguna mañana soleada de primavera.

Dani-G

Does it it for the office? Not many of you said "yes" (only 4%), so pls. advice all other office-favorites of yours to know, if it is ok for me, since I can't test it in the next 1-2 weeks. Thanks!

ANTIPARFUM

I try this fragrance today and I was very surprise by the freshness of this perfume. It's perfect for a good daily time, very light, airy and sweet. This fragrance smell young, happiness, joyfulness. This is the perfume of great day and it introduce poeple in a playful disposition.

Malegria

For me it is an autumn fragrance - it is so optimistic and joyful! I like to wear it in the first cold days, when the air is cold and crispy and the smell of fallen leaves is around.Somehow it works very well with this perfume - autumn and Champs Elysees coexist perfectly together!For me it smells like ripe, juicy pears, yellow with pink bellies.So fruity and sweet, and has a gift to bring out happy memories...

Jasper

I always have Champs-Elysees on my dresser. It was the first perfume I bought the second bottle. Now I'm using the fourth! Love the warm sweetness of it. The scent is well blended. Nothing sharp, heady or overbearing about this divine-harmoneous perfume even on the very hot day. The elegant floral notes envelope me like a magic. Classy but never old. It IS a true love for me.

golden

A truly exquisite and palyfull fragrance.
Reveal the inner beauty in you. With it's unforgettable aroma, Champs-elysees welcomes you into a world of abundance.I have worn this perfume for many a years and i still count this one as one of my no1 scents. With fresh melon and warm rose and almond it represents both class and elegance. I will never tire of this perfume as it is easy to wear yet so classy!
I adore you champs-elysees. You remind me of my time in beautiful paris walking down the champs-elysees, where i discovered you.
I will always hold you in my heart. Forever.

Moszatka

Very elegant floral fragrance! Top quality and delicious smells! Very feminine and clear fragrance! Perfect for theathre, cinema or wedding days! Guerlains are good quality fragrances, but Champs- Elysées is the best floral Guerlain! Classic and modern at the same time. It's great!

PR

strange, the familiar old-fashionedness and floral softeness of this a little nostalgic scent attracts me today so much.
If I hadn't already the whole row of the scents I want, I think I would bought Champs-Elysees on impulse, though I am not in this sort of scents at all, I am puzzled

PR

Couldn't disagree more, it is very memorable smell to me. I tried it once, and it looks like the most distinguished scents from guerlain, so far from those which I tried(have in mind floral and fruity groups). But it doesn't smell new, rather as a scent thatI knew from some time before. It is elegant and somehow innocent, very floral, but tender.For some reason I find it melancholic, but it is my subjective opinion. Can be easily used in summertime or spring too, though it quite universal

Ester

I remember perfumes very well, but no matter how often I test this one, I can’t remember it the next day.

BelleBeryl

very lovely floral elegant fragrance my favorite I have used 8 bottles so far and going to buy bottle nr 9 next shopping trip

worshipmoments

It does smell nice, but too strong for me, and makes me sick....cos for my chemistry the peach so so so strong.

KalteStern

Light, delicate, sweet, floral, cheerful - in other words great for work, as it is not going to annoy anyone, and is the sort of frgrance where people are going to subliminally think you smell nice rather than think 'Ah, Champs Elysees!'. Not a signature fragrance either- so a bit anonymous and inoffensive

ljubica

If you're looking for grand, owesome and magnificent, you're looking at the wrong Guerlain.
Champs Elysees is a young Parisienne, flirty and romantic, she greets you with a sunny smile and takes you to stroll down the streets of Paris, in a perfect spring day, full of joi d'vivre and romance.

Mitsouko

Very characteristic, recognizable floral, subtle smell. Romantic delicate inhabitant of florals and ligh oriental notes. But I do not know can adjust, because neither youthful, neither for mature women, besides - it's some such unreally. But to smell for bottle - super.

Carmel

It's my number one also. I try many others and love to try new ones but I always come back to this. Nonstop comments when I wear it and a sense of absolute happiness.

Gwendolyn

This is one of my absolute favourites! Guilty pleasure... I saw a review once stating that wearing this fragrance is like wearing a small yellow dress. Well, so what? It makes me feel happy.

klee0206

Somehow, this makes me feel positively angelic, like I'm floating on a soft, fluffy white cloud. Very delicate indeed, yet long-lasting.

bebina

My favorite perfume of all time. When it first came out, I couldn't stop smelling it. I always get compliments whenever I wear it. My #1 scent.

Nuppu

Feminine, positive and very french-chic.

elgab89

Very elegant fragrance. Long lasting. A true Guerlain - classic and chic.
