Fifi Chachnil

got the edt today, and it's far stronger than expected. a few drops and it's lingering and swirling around me very nice. sexy deep powdery and smoky scent with some lucious hints of sparkling lemon and creamy rose... simple but very beautiful! it's not of those scents, who are trying to be sexy to a maximum whit loads of sugar and patchouli, it IS pure sexyness in a bottle with facetts of innocence and understatement naughtyness. it's not even a tad sweet in the first half hour but then the spiced lemony rose changes to a creamy sweetness of lovely flowers - truly beautiful and intoxicating, still slightly spiced, woody and smoky with an warm ambery trail. fifi perfume has a modern vintage-feel to it, what is very elegant and feminine, transporting a joyful creamy rose soap und powder vanity aroma. a very different interpretation to other vanity scents - and i think, this one is just on the right point. the tobacco isn t that noticable as someone could be afraid of... it's a golden blond tobacco, no darkness or dirtyness. it floats in the background, just to give this round perfume a slightly aromatic edge. it reminds me instantly to fragonards grain de soleil but way smoother and softer by same intensity. love it :D a perfect seducing scent. sillage wonderful, staying power exeptional! the bottle is soooo pinup!!! a masterpiece!

This reminds me of Rizzo from the movie, Grease. She's been wearing Kenickie's leather jacket and since they are fighting, he asks her to return it. She liberally powders her nose and spritzes on her favorite perfume (Chantilly?)to go meet him. On her walk over she smokes and snarles at anyone who makes eye contact. When she sees him she hurls the jacket at him, then storms off. Kenickie catches his jacket and and also catches the strong cloud of powder, cigarettes, sweat, and Rizzo's sharp perfume. All stale, and all mingled together. He hangs it outside to air out, but it still has that sourness several hours later. Oh well, it's not super sweet or floral, so no one will think he smells like a girl. Rizzo is a brash, mouthy gal. I think I'd rather smell like Sandy :) Update: Hubby picked this as his fav in a lineup. Apparently this French lingerie company knows what men like ;) I REALLY like it layered with something sweet. I just don't know if I'd pay for a fb to have to layer it. OK, I went from meh, to like, to love, to NEED A FB ASAP! Fifi has won me over and now I find this scent so addictive and comforting at the same time. Too bad it's so overpriced and hard to find in the US.

A gorgeous, pinky, feminine, tobacco perfume with citrus accents. I used to think this one was too feminine for me but now I embrace it totally...for a 'boudoir' style perfume this is pretty much perfect (review is for the vintage edt, i have the contemporary edp too but prefer the larger dose of citrus in the edt to balance out the richer notes) The bottle is substantial and the bulb sprayer works beautifully. Somehow quite a lot of care went into this and I so appreciate the coherent attentions to detail....the fragrance is actually almost neon in it's bright, light shimmering quality, belying an underlying electric heat from the spices (coriander mmm), floralcy, and amber. Do we have to know how clothes are constructed to wear them and have style? I don't think so, and I don't need to know how a perfume is exactly constructed to be given a conceptual mood...........a concrete but ephemeral idea of a feeling....the areas of my brain that perfume reaches are to me most precious!

I really do love this! On my wrist I can smell the rose in the first blast along with the coriander - I do get a sweet note from my skin. I don't seem to get any of the citric notes at all and I don't get any tobacco from this. At the middle stage the rose shines thru and I think it is only a few stages from sweetness to KM's Loukhoum. I do get a very gentle amber entwined with a feint rose scent in the drydown. This is very French and chic. I would say try the sample first and don't be swayed by the gorgeous bottle. But it is worth the money and a little goes a long way - thankfully as I don't think I could hawk the bottle and spray in my handbag or keep on changing the tops each time I went in and out!!! I do think it is a perfume that depends on your skin's chemistry as to how it eventually sits on you. I tested this against Loukhoum and, certainly on my skin, the to have an extremely similar scent and it is only the Loukhoum that is sweeter!!!

It is a very intimate, seductive powdery, smoky fragrance! The scent is perfect for the boudoir! The first spray is very sharp and is similar to lemon-scented cleaning supplies. The scent eventually softens, and becomes spicy, aromatic due to the coriander. The coriander causes the scent to be mysterious! As the lemon mingles with the coriander, the warm amber goodness is gradually coming through. There is rose in the pyramid but it is well-blended because I do not sense it at all on my skin. The smell of tobacco is the most delicious thing to me, it is here to round the scent and blends beautifully with the sweet amber. A touch of the lemon still lingers beneath the all of the notes keeping it from becoming a dark, deep scent. This is a very sensual fragrance! I have been looking for this for almost a year, a lovely person PM'd me out of the blue offering to sell me a decant of this, thank you so much!

This little luxury I can't afford arrived today, the only perfume in my wardrobe with an atomizer, and I've just enjoyed a first spritz (or four). Fifi is o la la lovely, peppery, feisty, spicy, sexy, coquette, a sweet french kiss with a bite, forbidden nectar with a kick! You can smell the BOMB in sexbomb, and she's not safe for work in any way, which is why I'm giving her almost four hours to settle down (I hope that's enough haha!). Fifi smells the way I imagine BB does (although her signature scent was Jicky by Guerlain); horny, untamed, high maintenance, dramatic, rebellious, hypnotizing, warm, crazy, feminine and threatening. I feel right at home with this fragrance :) Edit at the end of the day: I am in love with this fragrance, it brings out my naughty side big time!

I *really* have to stop sampling perfumes that mock my budget. But Fifi Chachnil is such a charming little darling that I'm willing to pay the price. It opens with a bright, sparkly citrus that has an edge of spice and spunk. A soft heart of rose sweetens things up, but only just enough to let you know that Fifi's a sentimentalist deep down. Then there's a gentle powdery note followed by a deeply comforting tobacco. That's right, comforting. For me, this qualifies as a comfort scent. It's so warm and inviting. I can't wait to order a full bottle of this... definitely not audacious... let's say, "charmingly cheeky" perfume. It's not a "bad girl" scent. It's a scent for a good girl with a sense of humor and a touch of sass. Delightful.

Don't let the pink fluff fool you. She's spicy, fun and doesn't give a flip. Just enough sweetness to add sparkle to her spice, Fifi does what she wants and your job is to keep up. I love this. The sweet, dry scent of fresh tobacco, tempered by tangerine and citrus, enhanced by coriander. There is a slight non-cloying sweetness that perfectly balances the piquant resin of the leaf. The amber is noticeable on my skin, but the rose is not; both of these notes lend the perfect softness to this blend. It's sassy, feminine, playful yet refined. This fragrance is hypnotic and dead sexy. Wear it to the office at your own risk.

After many years of lusting after this perfume, I now own it! It's a very feminine comfy, powdery pink scent. It's initial spray resembles men's cologne oddly enough, but only for a few minutes then it settles into a true perfume. It's not loud but very cose to the skin with great longevity too. The notes are complex enough with rose, amber, sweet citrus but I fortunately don't get any tobacco on me. Its not like other perfumes I can compare too, it is like the previous reviews.... Seductive, Sexy, French chic, classy and it comes in a perfect pink bottle! I feel fabulous when wearing it.

It's just as gorgeous as the bottle!!! Such a lovely perfume. It smells just like a 'boudoir', with so many different smells, including tobacco, which is lovely. It's citrusy, spicy, florally, powdery, ambery and tobaccoey! It's very sprightly, feminine, fresh and also very deep and sensual. Very very pretty and erotic. The dry-down of amber and tobacco is sublime!! And it lasts about 9 hours without fading. I get many many compliments, especially from males, and my husband adores it! I especially love the rose, amber and tobacco aromas. Gorgeous. And the bottle is beautiful!!!!

Wow this is certainly different to anything else I have tried for a while, beautifully strong and spicy straight away, almost too strong but quickly morphs down to something more manageable. I have to say my favourite part of this is the dry down - it is to die for! I thought my favourite dry down was with Shalimar but this beats it hands down. The first fragrance with tobacco that I would own, the sample I have is the EDT so keen now to hunt down the EDP. It's stunning! PS - it's really annoying me that I can't think of what this reminds me of - could it be Chanel Coromandel?

To me, this fragrance is like a baby pink chiffon scarf blowing in the spring breeze. It's incredibly girly without being sickeningly sweet, and a little sexy from the coriander, tobacco, and amber notes. I'm not a big fan of citrus scents, I generally find them to be just okay, but the citrus in Fifi adds a much needed hint of tartness and air to what could be an otherwise heavy scent. Fifi dries down to a beautiful rose that isn't dated or heavy. It can be difficult to find tobacco or amber scents that are suitable for spring and summer but this one is it for me.

What I find so enticing about this fragrance is that it feels like something that has been on the skin for hours when I first apply it. It's sexy as hell, beginning with a bright, spicy citrus that doesn't stick around for long on my skin. The amber is warm with smoky tobacco edges; with a not-too-powdery rose wafting in and out of the picture. I adore this---very feminine and sultry. If you love this, try Anne Pliska....her more experienced patchouli cousin. I have both on my arm at the moment; and they most definitely resemble each other. Mmm.

This is reaaallly lovely. Lucked out getting a bottle from a local perfume enthusiast who was downsizing her collection. While it doesn't smell identical to anything else I have, it does fall in line with lots of those great vintage guerlain citrus, resinous, powdery fragrances that hold a special place in my heart. If you haven't had the chance to smell this but you're a fan of vintage Guerlain fragrances, this would be an easy blind buy. I can't imagine anyone would be unhappy with this in their collection. It's a 10/10.

It was a great surprise, and I loved it. It's very identifiable. Fresh at the beginning, sweet and powdery with a mix of vintage notes (rose) and modern notes (tobacco). So powdery, so sweet and lasting power so long and perfect. It's a perfume for women who are extremely feminine and who love to be women. I'm very surprised to love it because it's very strong (usually I love sugary or fruity fragrances), but I think I love it because of this mix between sweetness and insolence.

This smells to me very much like Dior Addict. The opening is much more citrusy, but the drydown seems very similar -but less cloying- to me. It retains its slightly citrusy nature for a good while, but in the end, what it leaves is a warm, sweet amber with a bit of rose and vanilla. Very feminine, very very long lasting (more than 12 hours for the EDP), perfect for sexy nights and confident women.

p.s. Maybe I'm just grasping at straws but in "feel" this reminds me of the first "Lyra" by Alain Delon / Maurice Roucel in the yellow box. Lyra is maybe more sparkling citrus fluffy while Fifi Chachnil's citrus richness has a tobacco amber base, but something balsamic in the Lyra brings it close to the Fifi Chachnil. Both are stunning and in my opinion both are worth having.

Belle epoque Paris, frivolity, charming demoiselles breaking hearts. A naughty powdery juice, very playful and feminine. I can only think of a curly woman wearing her hair up, some seductive strands out of her updo, by her earrings, naked shoulders, and a tempting cleavage. She carelessly loughs and enjoys trying on lots of lingerie pieces she found in a secret room.

Upsetting :/ as this perfume was so expensive i didn t use it for 1 year. Now for a very special occasion wanted to wear it. I took it out of the package and horrificly regordnized it's almost gone ! Vaporized because of the spray bulp?! Just some ml left of the 30ml bottle! i did use only twice before :( best sexy parfume ever. What a shame :/

Reviewing the EDT Gorgeous ! Absolutely ! I have received today a "paper sample" of it and i couldn't stop smell my wrist! It is very powdery , comfy , and feminine (imao ) , but not totaly innocent because of the tobacco note . It suits well the brand image , i really really like it and it's one more on my endless wishlist .
