I would consider La Mome to be a warm oriental, with a strong musky (never my fave) note that drowns out the flowers for quite a long time.
This intense muskiness takes a few hours into the drydown to dissipate, and then the flowers and myrrh tiptoe in.
At that point, it wears extremely close to the skin and is very feminine and soft, with but an utra discreet whisper of musk.
I don't know that Edith Piaf would not have worn a scent like this, it is after all, intense, sensual and different.
And I do think La Mome is a special scent, especially if you are very fond of musk, which I, alas, am not.

An average type of fragrance, mimicking the classical "Van Cleef" by "Van Cleef and Arpels." No innovation, very nice packaging, though. A collector's item, I guess. Not unpleasant, but far rom outstanding. Piaf will never ne forgotten, this perfume soon will be.

I like it!

Not sure whether Piaf would have chosen a perfume for a message, but I can see her wearing something full of Myrrh and roses.

The fragrance is warm and musky and I plan on wearing it a lot this fall and winter. It's mt SoTD!

A rather disappointing fragrance.
It's a bit of a mess, maybe the parfumeur wanted to achieve too much and could not make up his mind into which direction he finally wanted to head. Edith Piaf would not have worn such a perfume which does not have any clear message at all. It is neither pungent, nor fresh, neither powdery nor sweet, it is just a mixture of many ingredients we all have smelt before, but in a better context. I bought it for my collection though, and because I'm a fan of Edith Piaf - but I think the stuff is not wearble and does not inspire me with any postive feeling at all.
