Lace Fragrance Reviews

I was blown away by how much I love this perfume. im 23 and by reviews I have read before I thought this would smell ''old''. nooo... I would call it more classic. like a trusty black dress, or a favourite red lipstick. I am in love with the feminine florals and I also like that this has no fruity notes in it. I have too many fruity perfumes. when I wear something else I kind of feel like I am longing for the lace smell. it might have been around a while, but I love this so much I cannot find fault with it.

This smelled very old-fashioned to me, powdery, heavy. I didn't immediately think 'rosy perfume!' when I smelt it. Definitely try before you buy. It would've been an unsuccessful blind buy for me.

Smells like an expensive, floral French perfume, very strong rose... but there's a mysterious, sad, and (dare I say it) sexy undercurrent here that sets it apart from the likes of Tresor. Definitely gets better after a couple of hours, after that violent rosiness dies down. Spray lightly!

Nice, pretty, floral, ladylike perfume for a nice girl. Or when you want to smell like one ;)

I sprayed this and initially I wasn't impressed---I thought it is a bit unbalanced and dirty. However, I was preparing a decant when I realized that the first spray must have been off or something because what I smelled after the decant was this really feminine and soapy fragrance I cannot seem to get enough of.

I will give it another shot. It could be an HG material now that I think about it.

I used to wear Lace in the late 80s and early 90s here, in Uruguay. I remember it as an elegant, feminine fragrance, of the "anglosaxon" type.
I'm only able to find Lilly of the Valley, English Rose and Lavender by Yardley here, in Uruguay. I wish I could buy all those excellent fragrances by Yardley we use to have here about 25 years ago now!

This is a typical 80's perfume in my opinion. However, I do not say this as a negative as I love so many of the fragrances of that decade. Lace has always been excellent value for money and it smells exactly the same as it did 30 years ago.

The moss and the rose are very well blended, being given a fantastic "oomph" by the aldehydes. This fragrance starts out as a dark earthy floral with powdery overtones. I am always amazed that this was called Lace when I first smell it during the first few minutes as it doesn't seem delicate or ethereal enough to be likened to Lace. The drydown becomes a lot more powdery, but in a comforting way. It strangely reminds me of those comforting smells of childhood (you know that rag doll or blanket that you mum was never allowed to wash). I don't mean its a dirty smell, but it is just so comforting and soft on the drydown. It's at this point where I can see the Lace epithet being fitting.

This perfume has excellent longevity and sillage and
I would recommend everyone try this beautiful fragrance. It is not a typical rose fragrance, so if that is what you are looking for perhaps try before you buy. But at the price it is, its worth a try.

This is such a nice delicate flowery perfume. I first bought it in a nice bottle with lace. Now i have found it again in a small simple bottle, in a local shop, for 12 dollars.Sealage is very good. It stands to me together with classic feminine fragrances of post 80s. Still contemporay now. I do not recommend a body spray-suffocating and looses it's top notes.

To 79transtar :

Don't know which part of Australia you're from, but in Melbourne (where I'm from) you should be able to find Yardley 'Lace' in Chemist Warehouse/My Chemist or Priceline.

I have worn this for many years and I am finding it hard to now buy it in our stores here in Australia. Anyone have ideas where to get it easier over here??

This takes me back. On my skin it smells fresh, creamy, floral and very feminine. The longevity is amazing on this and I have to say although this is a very old perfume it does not register as "Old" on my skin.
quite the opposite. This perfume is deserving of what it is, feminine, a class of it's own, floaty, fresh and easy wearing.
I am glad I purchased this and would happily do so again and again.

I had a strange revelation today when I put this on it reminded me of how Ysatis smelled in the 80's pre reformulation, more creamy/woody/floral than the woody aldehyde it is now. Try it if you liked Ysatis better before, as I did!

This is one i often smell on older ladies and i remember it from my childhood-it's lovely and classic but not at all dirty. I never wear it but absolutely love smelling it on others- powdery and feminine.

I'm shocked to say it, but this is a really lovely fragrance! It has excellent sillage and longevity and is extremely feminine in a late 70's Jane Seymour way. It is to my nose a realistic, creamy freesia scent rather than rose and It will sit aside my Guerlain where it really belies its cheap price tag - hang on! Dominique Ropion - that's why!!
I must add that I have worn this stuff more than a lot of my expensive 'fumes lately. It seems to demand nothing if you know what I mean - just fits your mood and lifts it.

Oh gosh, its one of those ubiquitous 'discount cosmetic store' fragrances!

I find Lace a little outdated, mainly because of the compostion of classic florals - it's as if they never bothered to 'modernise' the rose and oakmoss elements. Also, I always get an outdated powdery scent that somewhat reminds me of old grannies.

I like this one, very feminine fragrance.

Strange, but the smell reminds me of a rainy morning in spring. Perhaps its the oakmoss in it.

This perfume was "mine" during the high school.
Very nice perfume, long lasting with strong oak moss in the base.
The aldehydes at the top, and the strong floral heart are very nice combined.
Maybe it is just a nostalgia ( wear it 20 years ago), but I would be very happy to have this perfume again.
