Demi-Jour Houbigant for women

I don't want to give a review on this but I want to ask you all a question. Where can you get it from?

I agree with other reviewers. I used to buy Demi-Jour by the flagon in the late 1980s and early 1990s! I loved it and used it as a signature scent. In evenings or winter it was a good base scent to mix with more complicated oriental perfumes popular at that time. Now I use Chanel No. 5 as a signature scent.

The Demi-Jour scent is floral with an oriental undertone that is very elegant and pure. Then when I tried to buy more about three years ago, I found that Dana was making it. I bought two bottles of it. And it just didn't smell the same. It came off as 'fake' and chemical. Very sad.

This is more of a lovely floral than an oriental. If you wonder why the prices vary so much it is because the true Demi-Jour made by Houbigant must be marked "Made in France". Dana is making it now and using the Houbigant name. Anytime you purchase this from eBay make sure the dealer confirms it was made in France.

I have a lovely one ounce gift presentation box of the French Demi-Jour.

WAY TOO FLORAL FOR ME! Don't get me wrong Its not horrible but not absolutely gorgous either. Its a better looking bottle than the scent is in my opinion.

I liked it at the time (15 years ago) when i was going through a brief Spice Girl phase,but I'm not sure I would like it now- the bottle looks beautiful on top of the vanity table, though-

i smelled a sample of DemiJour many years ago and loved it, but could not find it. I found it on line a few months ago and bought it. CaraMia is right, Dana ruined it. I wasted my money on the new version. It smells cheap and synthetic.

Very elegant and powerful smell, top notes are lovely and very catchy. Once you smelt it you can not smell anything else for a while the smell lingers in you senses, middle notes are somehow strange to me, little bit stale but that clears away to leave you with very long lasting sweet but very pleasant note. I would recommend it! A whole rainball of aromas.

My sample must also be vintage. It is a lovely old-style (NOT old fashioned or 'old lady') floral that is surprisingly sparkling. It has similar notes to the classic orientals but lacks that heavy oriental base. Definitely an elegant evening-out perfume.

Houbigant's Demi-Jour is an absolute marvel of a floral aldehydic perfume. Elegant to the bones, it is an exquisitely blended bouquet with a delicious base of oakmoss, something you don't find too readily post-EU rule changes

Sadly, Dana bought this one and ruined it, but if you can find the original you will not be disappointed
