Eau de Courreges (new)

I have always been surprised of how little known this perfume is, well, I absolutely love it, I think it's one of the best in its category (citrus chypre, for me), much better than Cristalle, Eau de Rochas, Ô de Lancôme and so on, maybe I'm partial because it was my mom's and one of my aunts' signature perfume for many years and it reminds me of good times but I can't think of a better option for summer. When I smell it I think of a 70's stylish free-spirited woman, just the kind of people who made this scent their signature. At first it's very citrus, like lemonade, then it settles like a fine chypre and stays like that for a couple of hours, it doesn't last very long but I don't mind if I have to re-spray, it's exhilarating, very recommended for people who like classic citrus-chypre scents.

One of my favourites and very close to Ô de Lancôme except on the longevity side which is rather weak. Not a problem in itself as it is always a pleasure to reapply as the minty citrusy notes are a great uplifting combination. There is also an absinthe note which gives this modern "eau" a classy old fashioned style. Any man of style should have this perfume a part of the "big threes": Ô de Lancôme, Eau de Rochas (for women) and a Eau de Courrèges. Not very easy to find though. In London, only Selfridges have it. I have not seen it online. Shame...

Very refreshing and crisp,ideal for hot weather.I agree with Jerrythecat re:longevity,it fades very quickly. It is available online,I got some from allbeauty.com for a very reasonable price. I thought I would try this for a change as it's fairly new,I like it but will probably go back to Eaux de Caron Forte when it runs out.

Smells great like a Margarita or Mojito. 1st wear... warm day. I'll let it sit a little longer to see if the longevity and Sillage grow.

A very nice, fresh, eau. Very unisex, perfect for a summer day. Brought an instant smile to my face.
