Lace

A fuller description of the notes, according to the website: A green floral chypre fragrance opening with a green citrus top which leads to an aldehydic and floral heart of geranium, jasmine, ylang, cyclamen, lily and rose. The base entwines warm amber, moss, cedarwood, sandalwood, musk, patchouli and vanilla. It really is an under rated little beauty, with great staying power. Thank you to World Class Perfumes/ Taylor of London for keeping it in circulation.

this is a lovely, simple, romantic and nostalgic scent firmly entrenched in the early 80's with its obsession with romanticism and nature. I like it when I'm not sure what to wear and I don't feel like making a statement. Sometimes some nice, cheap, soapy flowers hit the spot - and it's by Dominique Ropion! What have you got to lose?

Blind buy but a disappointment. All (too) bitter Jasmin and aldehydes, futhermore I distinghuish a flavour I describe as 'off flavour' 'too old' but this could be civet or the oakmoss, I don't know. I would not recommend buying this one blind, although it is quite cheap. Edit: I am a bit more tolerant now, the 'off flavour' seems to have gone after extensive spraying :-) It is a sort of strong soapy jasmin scent, I can imagine people like it if they are prepared for such a strong soapy flavour, than it reminds of being freshly washed as a kid...

i tryed one and dont like it much im not keen on the oakmoss in this perfume. the perfume almost smells like old ladys

Wow this was a find! £4 on EBay, I looked it up here and saw the magic name, Dominique Ropion! Well had to be worth a punt for that alone. I wasn't disappointed! This has some guts but still falls into the ultra feminine category, if you like a predominantly, white floral perfume, then I don’t think this will fail. Lace isn't wishy-washy as many in this price bracket are, it has a decent longevity and dry down is soft. I don't profess to be able to indentify DR's work but I know when I smell something good, even if the price and name is hiding it. This perfume may have been from DR’s early days but his talent still shines through. This one is hiding in the cheap bin ladies and it’s obviously still getting under the radar, if you like your perfume to have oomph, staying power and a little touch of skank (don't know where that note comes from but it's there) then this is a brilliant buy, it really is good. The bottle isn’t wonderful typically plain and boring but for the price I can live with that. I usually end up paying a fortune for something not half as good quality as this so I'm very pleased. If you get the chance grab yourself a bargain, a lovely perfume for a great price :-))

I received Lace as a gift for my 13th birthday (29 years ago!) and had completely forgotten about it until it appeared near my favourites on Fragrantica. It arrived from Amazon today and I love it! Clean, soapy, aldehydes and a little rosey (but more white floral). I would compare it to Arpege, No.5, White Linen and a softer less metallic Rive Gauche. It dries down to baby powder, like Shalimar without the bergamot. A very happy blast from the past that smells very expensive and classic. Not surprising given the nose behind it also made Dune!

.....really????? I thought this was an oriental fragrance. Maybe it's different from Lace by Yardle! I may be confused........

Desperately seeking this in any form besides “deo spray.” Even a sample. Will pay 💰 or trade.
