White Chantilly

This is an old favorite for me! One that I need to replace. To me, this one smells fresh and sweet, kind of smells the way moscatto tastes. A light, slightly floral, fruity smell with a dash of champagne quality. The silage wasn't particularly strong, but I remember it lasting well throughout the day.

Smells very classy and at a very low price. I only wish it lasted longer than 3-ish hours.

There is nothing amber in this. This fragrance is a vintage a drugstore white floral that is pretty enough, like Le Jardin with aldehydes and oakmoss.

White Chantilly arrived today. I was so anxious to try this new version of my old favorite Houbigant Chantilly. What a huge disappointment this turned out to be. It only smell like cheap floral. There is also a huge chemical issue for me as I have nerve damage from a root canal and my mouth is tingling non stop from those chemicals. Nasty doesn't begin to describe how this fragrance is for me.

The Dana version is a water down version of the original by Houbigant. Not that it's bad, but if feels more like an after shower splash, with lots of alcohol that evaporates in no time. It's "nice" and non intrusive and it makes you feel fresh. However, it cannot be called a perfume, it's not longer in that category, unlike Houbigant's that can hold a candle to any of the high priced classics. Another one bites the dust.
