Indiscret Lucien Lelong for women

I bought it because I heard Lauren Bacall used it and I wanted to be an actor for the big screen - and I thought she was goegeous

I got a 0.25 ml vintage EDP and I really don't know what to think of it. I'm not sure if it's supposed to smell like this or it's changed due to its age, but it does have that "vintage" smell that you would never detect in contemporary or reformulated perfumes.
At first it is super strong, sharp and bitter, but after about 20-30 min it mellows out and has some sweetness to it. It's not by any means disgusting, but I can't say I was enjoing wearing it either.
I will give it another chance but looks like it will be one of those perfumes I will appreaciate from a distance.

The day I received my bottle I had a severely stopped up nose and did not like the opening. However, after about 15 minutes the florals kicked in and the fragrance was lovely. It has excellent sillage and longevity. I also do not see this as a fruity floral. My nose (which is now better) smells a woodsy floral in Indiscret.

Another plus about this fragrance is that you will smell very unique. It is hard to find and not sold on the mass market sites. Check the Lucien Lelong official site for information on this scent. They also beat the pricing of the few perfume sites that carry Indiscret.

I must say the more I wear Indiscret the better I like it.

This is not a floral fruity to me, this is as vintage as they get! True classic, ultimate masterpiece, would LOVE to have a large amount of it.

I own a small bottle of vintage parfum, and found its opening to be gloriously fruity (I seem to smell peach as well as citrus) and opulent. The heart is voluptuous and rich, with rose-geranium, orange blossom, and the creaminess of ylang ylang. I had been unfamiliar with Indiscret before buying it unsniffed, and I was really, really enjoying it... and then the resiny base showed up. I have never been a fan of Youth Dew or Opium or their ilk (no offense to their fans), and to smell the deep bitter notes of resin in the bottom of this scent just ruined it for me. I was disappointed.

I have always loved this fragrance, and I finally got my hands on some vintage - wow! As Tessture says, it is a whole different animal - not sharp or fruity but deep and spicy. I can still tell that the two are related, but there is a luxurious carnation and orange blossom depth to the vintage that is just enticing. The new version does dry down to a spicy feel after the sharp opening, and I really don't know how many of the top notes are gone in the vintage, though it was never opened until I got it. Either one is well worth trying, as both are very sophisticated.

The original is a smoky, smoldering orange-blossom delight, all slinky curves and powdery decolletage. Love the vintage. Would be interested to see how the reformulation smells by comparison.

I'm a bit surprised to read that this one is being classified as a "fruity floral"! That title always makes me thing a fragrance is light and airy and modern. Indiscret is none of those things. Zero. Like many scents developed during the decade that gave us Garbo and Deitrich and Hedy Lamarr, Indiscret is a full blown floral femme fatale of a scent.

True it starts with a bitsy weeny bit of citrus, but lets not confuse that with fragrances that traffic in melon-ious assault or riotous quantities of sugary pears or raspberry waffles. Indiscret is a grown up womanly scent all full of orange blossoms roses and carnations. It is heavy duty and opulent, almost decadent in its bouquet.
Calling it a "fruity floral" is like calling Louise Brooks or Gloria Swanson "a starlet".

Indiscret is seductive in a straightforward and mature way. It's not an eyelash fluttery giggly scent, it's a romantic "I'm here to be noticed...by you" one. It's a bit intimidating and would not try to be unobtrusive and quiet. The florals are big and inrusive and the sillage is first rate.

I love this scent.
