On male skin, it loses it's feminine touch and smells surprisingly 'unfloral' and the vanilla, amber, musk and clementine notes tend to dominate this close-to-the-skin perfume.
I'm delighted to have it in my collection and pleased to be able to let all you adventurous parfumistos out there that you can certainly wear this elegant fragrance with confidence.

I avoided it because once me and my friend were reading magazine and I saw the ad for this frag, I said- this ad is really beautiful- she replied - I sniffed it - it stinks...
Well.. now I know it doesn't.
There is a pleasant thick vanilla note after few hours, but flowers are still there- sweet and rich. Yum. It doesn't remind me cinema or movies, but old vintage dresses.







I´m using it today, the weather is hot as hell, but I´m very confortable with it. I also have the summer version, but is very light compared to the amazing edp.


Indeed it is not for bubbly girls nor it would match with casual or sporty clothes.
It is my favorite scent for formal occasions. I don't think there is any scent more perfect than this.
I sometimes wear during the day with a business outfit or a ralph lauren polo but you need to know that this scent gets a lot of attention. Not only because it is unique and one of a kind also because it is very dominant (even if only little is used).
Of course it gets you compliments but this perfume fills out a whole room so mainly I would say it gets you noticed. Its a good thing, yes but not always wanted. So you will have to be aware of it.

Having said that, I still wonder who named this ladylike scent "cinema"? It's nice -- very nice. But avant-garde, daring, and glamorous? No.
It doesn't feel like me.

For strong and emancipated women. Not that I am one, but I want it.
Although my friend said that the perfume was for older women.



this is one of my fav scents i have ever tried. love love love it ............





This fragrance makes you feel like a star walking down the red carpet to claim your well deserved Oscar prize. For me it has this nice retro touch that I associate with first big stars of the silver screen. Featuring jasmine, clementine and peony, it also includes brilliant roles of musk and vanilla, my two favourite perfume stars.
The scent is sweet, but not heavy. Very elegant and classy, but not too serious. Romantic, but not frivolous. Sentimental, but not melancholic. It is a journey in the past, but the fragrance is still modern and suitable for all.
I never thought I would like it, I have tried once ages ago and it did not make a huge impression on me back then. However, today I sprayed it on my wrist, and later on when I was shopping I could smell it on me for a very long time afterwards- an amazing staying power!



Personally 4 me its 2 strong so i wear the festive d'ete during summer and autumn!


The top notes, first 10 minutes perhaps,are confusing to me, because for some reason, each time I percieve them differently. But general impression is good complexity, elegance, not too modern, but somehow manages to suit almost every age.
I am not raving mad about this scent, because somehow it doesn't hook me anyway. And perhaps drydown and what I smell later explains that. When I smell Cinema after an hour it is So Painfully Familiar! don't know from where, or who used to wear it in my environment, but I know it for ages! And it starts smelling too floral for me..but such a familiarity of scent, even without trying it before, True Classic..

Before I smell it, I didn't think I'd like it, cos I don't like "oriental" perfumes. However, this one is really great, not overwhelming at all & I guess a woman of any age can wear it to feel special :)
I've choosen this fragrance to wear on a presentation tomorrow , just for the way it makes me feel




Well balanced, elegant, gentle, beautiful - like a dream...
I like a "retro touch" in this aroma. I admire a certain "smoky" note in the base, which brings me into associations with old movies and historical times when in cinema was allowed to smoke... I imagine blue smoke in the blue light of cinema, mixing with hundreds of different perfumes...
And the movie is about love!


I had this perfume and I will get it again...
It is a an elegant, feminine and sexy perfume!

Too heavy and cloying for daily use, but great for an evening out.
