This classical fragrance for women which is now available in the concentration of eau de toilette, in the golden bottle. The top notes include sensual, sweet, fruity accords of peach and plum, and spicy-woody accords of cypress, cardamom, coriander and rosewood. Sensual floral bouquet of tuberose, jasmine, rose, iris and ylang-ylang enriched with a spicy clove is in the heart. The complex base is composed of patchouli, oak moss, amber, civet and vetiver. The perfume was created by Roger Pellegrino in 1987.

Love this stuff, very sensual and classy at the same time. I never even heard of this fragrance. My mother and I were talking about the fragrances she used to wear: Tocade Rochas, Opium YSL, Eden Cacharel, ... and then she said 'Gem'.

She secretly went to the perfume store and searched for it. But it's discontinued so she had a hard time finding it. But we have a perfume store that wants to be a bit 'exclusive' by selling Tom Ford, discontinued fragrances, ... They had it in stock. Only 3 bottles. My mother sprayed it on a paperstrip. She came home and I smelled it. Mmm I really like it.

I'm thinking about buying a bottle for my mother's birthday next week. She'll be so happy.

@gemlover
If you don't like "Femme" - have you tried "Coco"?
I think there is nothing that really can replace Gem, just try to find a scent which makes you feel good, comfortable...or however you want to feel with it ;-)
I changed completely and I am now on Mitsouko and Jicky...

Gem is my all-time favorite fragrance and very difficult to find in the USA :( I search for this anytime I am in Europe. Absolutely adore Gem.

Gem c'est mon parfum préféré!
Il est somptueux, sensuel, voluptueux...

Les notes de tête sont pétillantes et audacieuses:
notes fruitées délicates (aura légère de pêche et de prune veloutée par la vanille gourmande) associées à l'accord vibrant de l'armoise d'Egypte, de l'essence de cyprès et de la myrte de Tunisie.

Le coeur du parfum est une rencontre magique entre les fleurs et les épices.
Fleurs opulentes, capiteuses (jasmin, tubéreuse des Indes) et fleurs vibrantes sous-jacentes (ylang-ylang, rose orientale, iris, jacinthe des Indes)
Ces fleurs composent un bouquet aux accords exceptionnels.
Ces accords vibrants de fleurs se conjuguent avec beaucoup de complicité à des traces tenues d'épices solaires et colorées (girofle, cardamome, coriandre, sauge...)

Les notes de fond :
animales(ambre,civette) + douceur et sensualité grâce au patchouli et à l'infusion de vanille qui donnent de la profondeur au "chypré".

.....................................................
Au départ, les notes fruitées sont ensorcelées de vanille, ambre et patchouli, ensuite, les fleurs capiteuses sont chauffées de girofle, de coriandre et de notes animales.
C'est la magie des fruits, des fleurs et des épices sous le soleil où tout est lissé!

J'espère que l'on n'arrêtera jamais la production de ce petit bijou de la parfumerie...

Gracias por vuestra gentileza,

I got a tiny gem-shaped vial of this (think its EDP) at a vintage boutique last week, and tried it on Saturday (in the privacy on my own home in case it was too ovewhelming for others!).

I couldn't stop sniffing myself, but even at the end of the day when I had to use a sea salt and clay soap to remove the scent, I wasn't sure how I felt about it. At one point about an hour after applying it, I started to get a headache and my lips and face began to tingle...very interesting! But that passed in about an hour, and I just kept sniffing.

Very heavy, fruity and woody, with something kind of rich and filthy underneath (the civet maybe? - sorry I don't know the best descriptive terms yet). Definitely a chprye, and that's probably why it fascinates me so - I adore the chypres even when I don't understand them.

At some points throughout the day it smelled the way I imagine a very high quality courtesan's bedroom would smell after the orgy (excellent!), at other times, it evoked a slightly unwashed old lady who wears diamond brooches over soup stains on her cashmere twin sets, and happened to be in the kitchen of a house with too many male cats, baking gingerbread (not so great). Sigh. I have so much to learn!

This is a great scent from my past! I can't find it anymore and now I would like it back. I know it has been discontinued and wonder why.
I wore it many years ago while at University. It's so complex, warm, refined, very ladylike yet seductive. Not everyone enjoyed, but a girl enjoyed so much that the day after she came around wearing "my" Gem! I felt it like a robbery and stopped wearing it!
