Guerlain Chant d'Aromes Guerlain for women

As jtd says below,it's a powdery, aldehydic, lactonic floral, it has exactly no notes listed here that make a chypre and I detect nothing chypre about it.
Sherapop sums up my views on this fragrance: I paraphrase by saying it is a sunny, very wearable beauty, a good introduction to the serious classic Guerlains. A lovely sunny day and butterflies scent but nowhere near the sheer breathtaking beauty of the fresh raindrops on purple flowers of Apres L'Ondee.

I never know what to make of Chant d’Aromes. It seems more of a powdery, aldehydic, lactonic floral than a true chypre. Yet the hint of a chypre base, more vetiver than moss, combined with the remnant of the peachy lactone of equal duration, is the only part of much interest. And this final bit is so faint I have to strain to make it out.

The powdery, indistinct opening used to give me a bit of hope that maybe the diaphanous air might coalesce into something haunting or interesting as Vol de Nuit does with its can’t-put-my-finger-on-it top notes. Unfortunately, the undefined but pleasant opening grows increasingly vague. Chant d’Aromes seems clean in that it’s blandly unadulterated, but not heightened or expansive like the best floral aldehydes. Despite aldehydic perfumes often being considered old-ladyish, there’s just something more girlish than womanly about CdA. Not so much naïve as inexperienced. It’s as if CdA could be any other indistinct designer sweet floral fragrance with a bit of aldehyde added.

CdA has a pretty smile, but not a lot of chat. Equally undemanding and unrewarding.

This was my introduction to the wonders of Guerlain. I bought it in the mid sixties when I was in my teens. I hadn't realised before,that a scent could have such a physical effect and my tummy did its first little Guerlain flip. This took me on to Shalimar and L'Heurre Bleu,my all time loves.

Jani, zkuste e-bay. Pekny den! J.

I was given this perfume when in France in 1962, it came in a beautiful refillable container, tall white with a pattern of flowers and leaves, I managed to get a refil a few years ago, but cann't find it again, I love this perfume it brings back so many wonderful memories of Paris, and it is different to all the other Guerlain perfumes, and gets nicer the longer it is on you skin.

This has to be one of the less aggressive and inoffensive scent created by Guerlain. I can detect gardenia and plum notes. It's extremely powdery.

Chant d'Aromes Is a 'More Friendly' Chypre than Parure.

The EDT is true to the parfum, but requires many reapplications.

This scent really needs SKIN! No use sniffing this from a card, it needs the warmth of your skin for it to reveal it's ultimate beauty.

I LOVE Chant d'Aromes!

Like it's name suggests, it is all in one when it comes to 'aroma's': The clean feel of a 'clean' perfume - at first spritz, it made me think of Estee from Estee Lauder, but during the developingproces, I got: the elegance of a Guerlain, the flowers like they're meant to smell if it's up to nature and finaly the powdery breeze when 'cuddling up in your own aura'...

So lovely!

Less outspoken than L'Heur Bleue or Mitsouko and therefore suitable for more occasions if not for any occasion and that, to me, is in it's favour.

Love it, love it, love it!

I came late to loving Guerlain. I have a small amount of vintage Chant d'Aromes, and it is beautiful. The peach note is so soft, like a watered velvet. If it had a voice-- it would sing like Diana Ross.

CHANT d'AROMES strikes me as an excellent introduction to some of Guerlain's serious masterpieces, especially L'HEURE BLEUE, which is so intense that wearing it becomes an entire event in and of itself. No need to make plans to go anywhere or do anything while wearing L'HEURE BLEUE, which is such a rapturous experience that you may as well simply surrender to its power to captivate and bewitch.

Wrapped in the arms of CHANT D'AROMES, which to me is more a symphony than a song, I feel a vague resonance with L'HEURE BLEUE, but CHANT does not melt me into dysfunctionality. This is a sunnier, happier, but still lovely fragrance in which a small bundle of tiny multicolored flowers mingle harmoniously among more intense chypre elements. However here, in contrast to the Guerlain chefs-d'oeuvre, the chypre elements are never permitted to dominate; they never steal the show.

Despite being considerably less intense, CHANTS d'AROMES is a fine, eminently wearable fragrance with its own subtle form of beauty. And one which can be worn in public, even in broad daylight, I might add!

I was three years old and playing in my mum's room. I used to love applying fragrant powders on me. I would put on so much that I ended up looking like a powdered donut...nose & neck were completely white from the powder. But I was all grins.

Oh how this brings joy to my nose. Something in here is bringing childhood memories back to life. VERY floral and somewhat powdery...but so lovely! (And this is coming from someone who is not too keen on floral fragrances). I can't pick out ANY note in here. It's a wild mix of florals and something slightly woodsy/spicy/mossy, but it's an unforgettable frangrance to me! It smells like those pretty packaged, scented powders that come with a puffy, pillow-like applicator. Softly romantic, classic, and nice to my nose. Last pretty long too--8 hours on me.

My mother's all-time favorite. She would go to Tijuana to get this in the 80's when you couldn't find it in the States. I remember it as if it were a part of a dream- a sweet, soft scent that I admired even when I hated most perfumes because they gave me a headache. I'd like to try this one again with an adult nose.

I just got the EDT version of this. When I first apply it, it goes on very alcoholy, but then it dries down to a very strong bergamot on me, a bit sweet with powdery notes at the end. Wearable, but not my favorite, I'm afraid.

This one is surprisingly decent considering it's an old Guerlain fragrance - I find the older ones very potent and aggressive... reaking almost. I think the plum, ylang-ylang, vanilla and heliotrope are what make this wearable and interesting.
