Chantilly Houbigant for women

This one brings back memories of my childhood.
Its nice for women in the 45 + age bracket.
Its a really powdery scent and I'm not a fan of overly powdery scents.It reminds me of Shalimar only much much cheaper in price.
Its not my cup of tea but It smells nice on other women.:)

Yet another FANTASTIC blind buy!

I don`t know if my nose are playing tricks on me, but this smells like a mix of my two favourite perfumes ever: Hypnotic Poison and Obsession.

This smells like:
* Old fashioned face powder/make up
* Old fashioned Ivory soap bar
* Old fashioned shaving cream for gentlemen
* Pledge furniture polish
* Toothpaste
* Citrus
* Amber
* Vanilla
* Spices

Very sexy scent, more masculine than feminine I would say! No noticeable flowers or fruits, just how I love my orientals.

I can`t believe this perfume was made in the 40´s...

Fantastic price too. Not available in Sweden, but can be found on Ebay.

I HIGHLY recommend this to all oriental lovers.

I was cleaning My Mother In-laws Room and came across a .47 fluid oz of Houbigant Chantilly touch tip concentree, and the Smell Immediately took Me back to when I was a Child never knew the Name until now, but I have Seen the Current packaging in stores now that I know what it is I'm Intrigued about the Smell if it would be the same. Now I curios about the Purse I found It In.

When I was in high school, in addition to fumigating anyone within 20 feet of me with Bonne Bell Skin Musk, I used Chantilly Cream antiperspirant. I love the smell of Chantilly perfume, and the antiperspirant used to smell absolutely irresistible. On various online sites, a "Chantilly deodorant" can be purchased these days, and it smells nice, but it's nothing like its vintage counterpart. In her classic formulation, Chantilly was akin to Hypnotic Poison, having an enchanting, slightly powdery, vanilla drydown that was purely erotic.

I reviewed Chantilly a while back but I wanted to add that I wore this perfume today to a concert my kids put on at school. As we sat next to each other, waiting for her to go sing, my 13 year old daughter told me I smelled "awesome". This is the ONLY time my fickle 13 year old has ever complimented me on my perfume! I was so pleasantly surprised I had to share. :)

I'm into scents of all kinds, and when I saw this I figured I would try it. When I was three years old, my grandmother would sit me on her lap and let me test all of her scents. She's very French and rather high class and her perfume collection reflected that. This scent reminds me of many of the perfumes she owned. This scent gives me the same comforting feeling of being in my grandmother's lap. I don't like the scent on me, but I take the bottle out on days I'm feeling tense and spray fabrics with it. I'm not sure if it has more to do with the emotional connection or the scent alone, but this is the most calming scent I've came across.

I bought Chantilly as a blind buy. Walmart has a bunch of mini Dana perfumes for around 3 bucks a pop around this time of year so I figured it would be an excellent time to try it. At first spray, it brought me back to working in a nursing home. I even thought I could smell something similar to rootbeer, lol. I was a little bummed but about 20 minutes later the scent softened and changed. It was beautiful! A very comforting sent! I am pretty new at fragrance so I am not sure what notes I could smell at the opening or what it dried down to but I can say it dried down to something worth waiting for. If I have learned anything with my new found fragrance interest is that, it pays to be patient. Very happy with Chantilly!

Edit: I am really curious on how to learn to detect and identify different notes and scents. I would love to know if there is some way I can teach myself and if anyone has any advice, websites, etc. that can help me I would be forever grateful!

Pretty! I love this!
It has that classic powdery floral soapy smell that I love but it's dry and a little spicy too.
For some reason it reminds me of holding a baby.
It's a very comforting scent with a warm vanilla.
They sell this 2 bottles for 6 US dollars at Walmart.
It is strong so light application goes a long way
If you are a fan of Revlon's Ciara you will most definitely be a fan of this! :)

Having never tried the original, I got my hands on a tiny bottle of the new stuff, which is now produced by Dana but has the same bottle. I must say this smells a lot different than I was expecting. It's cool and green. I can smell mostly the lemon and neroli, and I can detect the off-putting note in here that Scarlette mentions. I think it's likely the leather, or it could be the oakmoss. It gives it a slightly cold metallic feel. I find that if a very light spray is used, this particular note doesn't stand out. I am using the EDT and I do find it strong so a light spray is just fine. I don't detect any of the sandalwood, vanilla, or benzoin that are supposedly in here. Overall, this isn't bad. I'd love to try a vintage version.

EDIT: The drydown smells so pretty and soft and powdery, and lasts all day. I really like it. If the vintage version is even better than this, I have to find it.

Today is my first day with Chantilly. Another blind buy that has turned out to be overly successful!
On me the opening was sparkling fresh and instantly mood-lifting, and over time it seems to grow more and more elegant and beautiful. The sillage is above average on me - it's been 6 hrs and it still lingers on.
Chantilly is really classy with that old-fashioned feel that I love. Both elegant and fresh, I find it suitable for any occasion, any season, just depending on the amount you use.
Only few perfumes have such an impact on my mood. First spritz just made me feel joyful, lighter, and more lady-like (well, mentally) than I was a minute before.
Wow.

Note: this is the new EdT, I never smelled the vintage version.

This a an old fashioned classic! To this very day it has to be one of my all time classic favourite fragrances. I usually wear it at Christmas, as it seems to suit the ambience of the holiday season. One of the worlds most romantic fragrances in my opinion.
It evokes romance, and a certain element of mystery.
Upon writing my romace writing projects, a wee dab of this can surely get my muse going..
All summed up.. utter romance, bittersweet, dreamy.. all the things that falling in love can be.

This is a lovely scent. Soft,spicy and powdery with a whiff of orange blossoms. My dressing table is never without this classic perfume along with the powder and lotion. even though the formulation has indeed changed, it retains some of it's former beauty and is well worth the effort.

Had the urge to wear Chantilly after several years (had a bottle when I was 15 given to me by my Grandfather as a gift). I just HAD to buy a bottle! Bought a big 3.5 oz. bottle of Chantilly Eau De Toilette Spray at a "Rite Aid" drug store near my home. Got to the car and could not even wait until I got home to use it. Had to sneak a spray when I got in my car! Ahhh...pure Heaven in a bottle!!! Immediately I was lifted into a more beautiful place and time...cannot find the words to describe how much I love Chantilly. It is one of my all time favorites. Nothing that is out now can compare with this timeless classic! Can't believe I went for so many years without wearing this gorgeous; feminine and classy fragrance. Every single stage of this fragrance is beautiful and works perfectly with my body chemistry. When I spray this on I think of pearls, lace, and all things feminine and beautiful. It is so me. I know this may not be the original Houbigant formula, but Dana has done an amazing job in capturing an almost exact essence of the original Chantilly. Very happy this perfume has stood the test of time. Also love the beautiful design of the box with the lace over the pink background. So pretty. The shape of the bottle is lovely, too. I will be buying the Chantilly Bath powder at the same place I bought the perfume. For those who don't know this, Sears also sells Chantilly; the EDT Spray, Body Lotion in a pump bottle, roll-on deodorant, and bath powder. I prefer Rite Aid because everything is under lock and key so that nobody tampers with it and your perfume is full and unused. The bottle I bought was fresh and new, thank goodness! Another great place to get Chantilly products and gift sets is a website called danaclassics.com. I am very picky about making sure I get a fresh bottle of perfume and not something that's old and rancid from sitting around on a shelf forever. Hope my review helps!!

This is my best friends favorite perfume. Is there also another called Chantilly Lace? or is this the same thing? someone let me know please!!!

Chantilly has been a favorite on my dresser since I was 15 years old.

I do hate the watered down reformulations. I have original version of fragrances such a Heaven Scent. Next to the watered down "imitations", the imitations are nothing in comparision. The "re formulated" watered versions lose the creation, don't last and smell cheap. The originals were from eras in which everything was created, manufactured with care and pride. The originals have class.

Dana has special fragrances. Tabu and Ambush are the best known. I think Tabu is the only fragrance that has not been "dumbed down". There were others bottles. I remember a white bottle and I think a turquise one. How I would now love to experiment and try these. When I was a teen and in college, identity wss still building. Now I can experiment and still have my identity.

Please don't cheapen and dumb down classics.

This is a review of the reformulated EDT by Dana.

Upon first spritz, Chantilly is sweetly spicy and peppery. The warm, dry sandlewood is present from the start, undercut by a subtle zing of citrus and aldehydes that prevents everything from feeling too heavy.

At this stage, Chantilly really does evoke the image of a glamorous French woman's boudoir: small jars of creams, toiletries, and cosmetics on a beautiful antique vanity topped by a vase of freshly-cut carnations.

Sexy in a vintage way, and possessing a surprisingly clean, powdery-fresh feel despite the heavy-sounding notes, I would've bought 5 bottles of this ridiculously inexpensive scent had it maintained its gorgeously spicy opening and heart.

Unfortunately, Chantilly dries down to that blandly sweet vanilla powder I dislike in both Shalimar and CK Obsession. If those two work for you, grab a bottle of Chantilly from your nearest drug store. For its overall quality, even reformulated, this one's a "cheap thrill" winner.

@spiritkind..Aw-thanks:)

SandraV love your review.

Ah how I love this perfume.At Christmas I found a giftset of a 1oz. cologne and matching 2oz. lotion for 5 bucks-I figured it would be no great loss if I hated it....boy was I in for a surprise:I absolutely love it!It is extremely powdery yet after the initial drydown it is soft and comforting.It makes me want to dress up in vintage clothes with bright red lipstick and my hair in pin curls...It is such a nice change from the current trend of fruity florals that dominate the market these days.I guess some would say that this would fit into the category 'old lady perfumes'.I hate that phrase as we are *all* hopefully going to be 'little old ladies' one day and it seems so disrespectful to me but I digress...
This scent IS powdery and it IS old-fashioned but it has stood the test of time for a reason.I doubt many scents out now will still be here in 60+ years.I can see this being a love/hate fragrance for sure as it has strong sillage(and that powdery note) but it is just so lovely to me.I think of so many women back during WW2 who worked in the factories while their husbands/boyfriends were off at war...I wonder how many of them put a little money aside at a time so they could buy a tiny bottle of this and scent letters to their loved ones with a drop of it.It isn't just the fragrance itself that I love but the 'idea' of it as well.This would be perfect for a wedding or to have high tea with the ladies-it's definitely not a 'going clubbing' scent.It's far too demure and classy for that.It's wonderful to wear to bed in the winter as it feels like a warm blanket around you.
This is my favorite comfort scent:I had to be rushed to the hospital once and had sprayed this on my wrists not long before...the next morning I woke up in that strange environment and could smell a trace of this lingering...it felt like home:)

This is my pure "nostalgia" fragrance; it was the only perfume my mother wore and I can remember giving her birthday and mother's day bottles of this scent.

It is not quite as I remember it on her, likely because her version would have been the vintage scent, however, I always have it on hand to wear on those days when I feel I am missing her more than others.

It has a bitter opening, with a strange, metallic undertone, then develops on me into a powdery oriental with clear orange notes. Lovely and delicate overall. I will be looking for the vintage version for sure!

I LOOOOVE this....my alltime favorite scent. I have never smelled the original Houbigant formula, only Dana. My mother had this when I was young and passed it on to me. This fragrance, hands down, recieves the most compliments of any scent I wear, women love it and men are entranced by this...I am always stopped and asked which scent it is. It does start out strong, almost manderin/lemon-like, but then dries down to the sexiest incense/leather/powdery vanilla-like smell...very French and expensive smelling. Most do not believe me when I tell them it is a drugstore brand. I normally like oriental/vanilla fragrances, and I have a collection of sweet scents I indulge in as well. But this, Chantilly is my signature fragrance, worn for twenty years and I will never tire of it. Absolutely beautiful, incredibly timeless.

This is such a great quality fragrance for its price. I agree with other reviewers who have pointed out similarities between Chantilly and Emeraude or Shalimar, two other all-time perfumes of mine. The top notes are very bright and crisp, but as it mellows on the skin, a soft, powdery rose-cinnamon-spice blend emerges. Subtle leather notes soon appear, but never disturb the balance of the scent. Just heavenly. On my skin, it wears even better than Shalimar, too!

I read the positive reviews of this perfume and decided to blind buy the Houbigant version. My initial response to this was, "Aaargh!" as I got a hige dose of benzoin straight up my nose. This induced a shocking headache and shattered my dream of having a successful blind buy. It's now been about an hour and I'm starting to smell the rose, bergamot and orange flower, with something slightly spicy hiding underneath. This is interesting but I'm just unable to get over the hurdle of wearing this for long enough for the benzoin to mellow!

I was excited to try this after I read the reviews and am sad to say that I wasn't thrilled with it. It had a soft, soapy, powdery smell and I have yet to pick up on the fruity notes. This would make a great introduction to oriental fragrances for someone who favors florals.

Dana Chantilly Edt: At the beginning smells like a intense combination of fruity notes combined with lemon. I think Fruity notes temper the lemon. So this is way different than Shalimar or Emeraude sharp critric opening. I must admit that it smells a little synthetic when you first put it on, however i find it more pleasant than the first minutes of shalimar.
The drydown of this perfume it's very vanillic and musky mixed together with benzoin and tonka bean, it smells different than it did when first applied.


Dana Chantilly Edp: WOAH!! I smell hints of spices, leather-sandalwood, vanilla and a little touch of lemon. The drydown is more warm, very powdery with amber and incense. This concentration is way better, compared to the edt.


The edt is a more young and fresh version of the edp, the edp is richer and warm.

Is a interesting fragrance but this is not one of my favourite oriental.

Beautiful, very "French" smelling perfume...like a distant cousin to Shalimar or Emerude. I like the smell of the powdery dry down. It is so pretty on others, but it hurts my nose :( Don't be afraid to try some of the oldies but goodies! If you like this you may also like Wind Song, L'aimant and Lutece. Cheers!

The review is for original formula, not made by Dana.

On me it opens very green and woody and very pleasant, but then it turns to powdery scnet indeed. But not too much powdery as i would expect. i still get some bitter note mixed with powder and that´s whay it is still pleasant to me. I don´t know if my version is old or nw, it has not the same shape as on the picture above but more voluptous.
Quite nice but it is also not my favorite. I wouldn´t mind to have a bottle of it in my collection "just in case". I still think that i have to grow older more to like this more. It falls into category "nice typical fragrance" and i wouldn´t call this outstanding since there are many others that are quite the same.

This smells ok but it did not last for more than 2 hours on my skin. It kind of reminds me of Shalimar only weaker. Not really my cup of tea as I prefer strong perfumes.

I love Chantilly! All the women in my family have worn it. I can remember taking chantilly bubble baths as a child and using the hand cream as well. I'm in my mid 20s now and I just purchased a bottle of the Dana version for myself. This formula isn't quite as I remember (this is slightly fruitier in the opening), but it's close and still wonderful. It starts out a wonderful spicy, citrus scent, with hints of florals, becoming more woodsy and floral later on, working beautifully with my body chemistry. It eventually transforms into a powdery scent vaguely resembling shalimar in the drydown. It is a truly classic, elegant, unique fragrance that gets me a lot of compliments, and lasts a very long time. This is one of my husband's favorite scents on me.

PS I also love how I can purchase the body powder with this. That's something newer fragrances just don't offer. Which is a shame, because I love wearing powder on extremely humid days, when even an edt runs the risk of becoming too much. A powder is just a nice soft, subtle scent, perfect for hot, humid weather. Plus, of course, there is the added benefit of it preventing me from sweating ;)

great! as a theater director i'd give the following vision: scent of a boudoir, shining feminity, sensual in depth, but not lustful..couragious but not bold, evokation but not screaming, classy and superior- yet not cold&haughty; powdery; strong in presence without the need of many words, intuitive, carnal, empathetic, fleshly, demanding dominance of boudoir

a classic. my mother's favorite. soft, pretty, powdery, calmly sweet and a little citrusy. dries into a lovely, lingering mist. still a favorite.

You wonderful ladies will have me spending all my Christmas cash in the bargain section...LOL

Great reviews gals. I always wrote this one off as "old", now (with my newly acquired vintage "mania") I want to sniff all the oldies but goodies and try them all!!!!

My favorite. I've worn Chantilly for 45 years and although I love to try new fragrances this is the one I always come back to.

The original Chantilly was a true oriental: warm, sweet, thick, and spicy. The opening was an explosion of oranges. The heart was more oranges with sweet Middle Eastern spices. The drydown was a soft powdery vanilla and sandalwood mix.

Today's Chantilly is a reformulation. The original notes are still there but much softer and lighter. Much cooler too thanks to a heavy addition of cedar in the drydown. I'm not sure Chantilly is still an oriental. With that predominant coolness it now has it is more of a chypre/chypre floral. It is reminiscent of Aphrodisia, Crepe de Chine, or L'Air du Temps. Despite the changes I still consider it the most wonderful of all perfumes, the always and forever star of my perfume wardrobe.

Felt nostalgic today and wore Chantilly. It was my first woman perfume. Is not the same , but not that different. But it smell real good and last a long time. its been 8 hour since I use my roller and its smells so good and strong .It made me feel really good today. Just loving it!!! I may buy myself a gift set. Its sexy and kind of mysterious.just loving it.

I am testing the Chantilly available now by Dana. It still smells good but I think it has changed. What I remember about Houbigant Chantilly is the sandalwood. Is it possible that they tried to lighten it up a bit ?
Something is different and it's not quite the same. However, the pink dusting powder containers and pretty bottles for less than 10 dollars make it a nice little gift for a traditional lady . It would be better than another box of candy to ruin her waistline.

nice but where to purchase from?

Chantilly is a timeless beauty.WAy ahead of its time.When other fumes were all floral,here it came with the opening of fruit! In a few moments,u r treated to an orange jasmine flower(IF there was such a thing)! THe drydown is the best part!!! Leather of all things with just the right touch of vanilla finished with oakmoss which does give it some sillage.Still unexpensive but signature worthy.In fact my lovely (SIS)has this for hers.

Since vintage Chantilly is one of my favorites I need to review what I love about this fragrance. It is a lovely floral on me that has good sillage and a better than average life span. I love the entire line including the lotion and the wonderful powder. Despite Chantilly being around for almost 70 years, I do not see it as old fashioned. To me this means it is a classic that has held up for many years against huge competition. We should all be this durable.

I had the opportunity to test the new Dana Chantilly and found it to be pleasant, but weak in comparison to my vintage. It is much brighter and lighter than the vintage. I don't know how long it lasts on or what type of sillage it has since I just gave myself a quick spritz in the store.

the first perfume i bought for my wife when we first started dating ten years ago....i buy her a bottle each christmas

I don't know what anyone is talking about with the referance to "powder". I have been wearing Chantilly for years, and it has never turned to powder on me. On my skin, it starts out very fresh, clean, almost aquatic, and lemony. After that, it settles into a soft and romantic floral. When it had reached its' fading point, I am left with a soft "baby magic" kind of smell. It's sexy!!! Everyone compliments me on it. Men especially.

I'm only 31 yrs. old, but I must be an old soul because I remember falling in love with this scent as a very young girl (one of my 1st perfumes)and I still love it today amongst others that are labeled "old fashioned & old lady" (shalimar & emeraude). These perfumes were WAY before my time, but they speak to me and marry well with my skin...

Powdery, pretty, inoffensive... and as someone said before me, Victorian. An ideal scent for a little girl. To give it due credit, I would agree with many that it is a classic. I just used up the last of mine to reduce the clutter of so-so perfumes and make room for those I love...

This was the first perfume I ever bought. I remember it well. I think the reason that it reminds people of their grandmother is that she probably did wear it since it is from the forties. I still like to smell it from the bottle but would not wear it anymore. It has too many teenage memories attached to it for me. I think it is too old fashioned for young women today. I kept an empty bottle in my lingerie drawer for years just for nostalgia.

bonjour!
Je cherche la maison qui maintenantle distribue au québec,car maintenant ledistributeur Dana a fermer c'est porte et j'ai des clients qui me demandent ou nous pourrions le trouver.Je suis représentente.Merci de me répondre

Can someone give me an explanation the difference between this and Chantilly of Dana house? Is this the same perfume
or it just changed the license production? Thanks

Hmm, I wish I tested before buying...from the bottle, a nice old fashioned scent...on my skin, it turned to lemon and baby powder :(

For what it is, it's okay. It is an old fashioned, powdery fragrance. I don't know what notes I'm detecting, but I immediately get that Victorian, girly feeling when I smell it.

Rosy, soapy, powdery 'old lady' smell for me. Sorry I know some you hate this reference but its the only thing I can think of. I wouldnt wear this if it were the last perfume on earth. Reminds me of those classic pouffy smells like Shalimar. No sale.

This is the kind of fragrance that surprises you... pleasantly. Once you spray it on, the initial scent is overwhelmingly different. It smells like your Grandma's lingerie drawer, oak with baby powder, and citrus mixed with carnation, rose, and vanilla. After the initial impression of antique lace and old leather... you sense a light, powdery, floral smell that is very sweet and pleasant. I didn't think I would like it at first, but an hour later I am writing this here to tell you I love it!

The opening has a strange plastic opening a reminiscent of a pink dollhouse. i just don't know it smells
like plastic to me.

I am happy owner of huge vintage botle of it! Actually I bought it only because of name and love to Demi-Jour and Apercu of the same house.. After reading reviews I was nicely surprised to like this one as well! I found it in a way similar to Shalimar, but this one I love even more that great Guerlain, because it has less of that dusty/old-closet smell in it;)
Great found! Love it!

just don't over do it. little goes all the way and it's suitable for the whle day.

One of my very favourites. So clean and fresh smelling. It's a soft lingering luxurious fragrance.

This was a good teen-age perfume for me but it's a strong powdery puff of fluff so no longer my style. Strangely, I don't feel nostalgic about it all...

A vague hint of the scent I remember buying for a mom every mother's day until I found out she likes Shalimar. Dries down to cheap soap.

This fragrance was one which reminded me of one of my ex-friends; provocative, annoying, loud, and predictable. Once worn, most recognize its overstated appearance. It has/had the potential of being a contender in the "one of the best" category if it only it were more subtle in its presence. Many church ladies in my community wore this fragrance and they wore it LOUDLY!

Chantilly is the best perfume I ever had. As I could no longer get it in Germany I went to another perfume. Dommage!
Sigrun Schaefer, Germany

Chantilly is another of those "classics" that one might feel slightly guilty about not liking, especially if others in the same olfactive category happen to be favorites. Chantilly can be cloyingly sweet, powdery and even a little like the air freshener in a fancy restaurant's ladies room (and I speak of the original, haven't smelled the new formulation) in the same way Youth Dew can stink up a room. And yet, just a drop or two of either can be a lovely, transporting experience. Just goes to show that buying scents unsniffed because of the olfactive category can be a disaster. Hard to believe Chantilly is in the same category as Mystere de Rochas, Must de Cartier and Habanita, but then Youth Dew is classed with Fendi's Theorema... go figure!

No words to describe how much I dislike this one. Just when I think of it makes me sick

I have a bottle of the old Houbigant and the new Dana versions of "Chantilly", and I like them both. The old "Chantilly" is a deeper, stronger scent that highlights the resin and musk- this is a very sophisticated scent perfect for evening wear. The new "Chantilly" is much brighter and sweeter, with the emphasis squarely on the orange blossom. Obviously, this is much more of a daytime scent. You can tell these two scents share some DNA, but the older version is a world-wise, sophisticated older sister, while the new version is a fresh faced, well-scrubbed teenager of the bobby socks era.

The original by Houbigant is a true classic and more unusual than you would expect. Not a girly composition but a feminine musky blend of carnations, roses, orange blossoms and Ylang tempered with spice and gorgeous juniper or pine needles.

Beautiful and full blooded.

Very powdery, sweet and innocent. It's a classic "girl" fragrance, not in a way that defines the age of who may wear it, but in that it is pink and lace and all things 'girl'. This is the exact opposite of masculine anything. It's the sugar and spice and everything nice part of the equation.

I have at least one small bottle of perfume (1/4 oz. and NOT eau de anything - just perfume) that I received several years back for joining Cosmetique. I say "at least one" because there is a chance there are more of these back at my folks' house. Anyway, I digress - the point is that I've liked this scent for a number of years and just recently sort of "rediscovered" it - I have noticed that several stores around here have Chantilly in a "gift pack" form for a really great low price, and am going to go pick one up - I just hope the "Eau de" forms are as good as the pure one.

This is a lovely, spicy scent - warm, soft and easy to wear. There is enough floral and fruit in the scent to give a softness that many Oriental scents don't have. Reading other reviews (not necessarily for this product), I've noticed that people will call a scent that was originally put out decades ago as "dated." I think it is better to think of these sorts of fragrances - such as Chantilly - as classic, and having met the test of time.

REminds me of my Grandma. A very vintage scent. I can't wear it. Onme, it is overly sweet and cloying.

I absolutely love this perfume!! Very classic and chic. Wouldn't wear it for regular office wear, but once in a while, or a mild spray is fine. Great for evening wear... or if ur going 'out' anywhere during the day too ;).

I am pretty sure I had this when I was a kid. My father had bought it on a buisness trip in France. I remember it as a powdery, light perfume.

This one now is produced by Dana
