Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Romantic

This juice is fascinating. I will explain shortly. But first, Fragrantica's pyramid is almost entirely wrong. There is no popcorn in it at all. My sample from Givenchy reads: "A gourmand fragrance as feminine as can be, with a deliciously addictive trail. CHYPRE GOURMAND" The notes on the official card are listed as: "Crumble, mocha and rose, patchouli" This is an extremely sweet, syrupy concoction. Sniffing up close, it smells like a generic rose-oud fragrance. It reminds me of so many of the Middle Eastern perfume oils I have smelled over the years, especially one that has peach in it, yet there's no mention of peach by Givenchy. Now back to why I find it fascinating. The product card describes a "deliciously addictive trail", and that's exactly what I get. If I do not sniff my wrist up close, the trail drifts up to my nose while walking around. I definitely detect chocolate and a pastry-like scent like peach cobbler. No coffee, no "mocha". I really don't like the perfume when I sniff my arm up-close, but I do indeed find the trail very addictive! I just think it's fascinating that Givenchy intentionally created a fragrance that so specifically speaks to the sillage. There's nothing chypre about this. Not sure why Givenchy describes it as such. Not really sure that there is anything "romantic" about peach crumble with hot chocolate 🤔. It's a yummy scent and a unique gourmand that I would buy if it was still on the market.

I am obsessed with this, it's so cozy and comforting, but in a very smooth and polished, mature, feminine way––without being either overly sweet or overly musky (the chocolate and popcorn notes are actually amazing). After a couple weeks of daily use I just ran out of the sample I found in the back of my cupboard and am now mourning what I'm realizing was a limited edition fragrance

This is my wife’s new signature fragrance. Pure silky magic. The subtle cocoa, sweetness and dark florals are perfectly blended. I detect some sultry oud as well, even though it is not listed as an ingredient. A modern, sleek chypre. Astounding.

I have been looking for this everywhere only to find out that it was a Limited Edition Fragrance. Please bring it back! Cherishing what is left of my precious bottle.

lovely! sweet at the beginning and it becomes more mysterious and sexy overtime.

“Romantic” smells like a simple, quieter version of TM Angel. I get sweet, patchouli, and oud on the drydown. It’s soft and uncomplex, a step above a Bath and Body Works splash, like Sensual Amber. (received a sample from Sephora)

Okay, I smell absolutely no popcorn or chocolate. This smells like MONTALE RED AOUD. It smells like rose and patchouli. And it projects like a boss. Feminine, rosy, winter or fall or a summer night where you want to sex it up.

I wish I was getting buttered popcorn. All I smell is another Angel variation of over-sugared chemical patchouli. On the off-chance that the Sephora clerk labeled my sample incorrectly, I’ll try it again in store, but I’m afraid this is really nothing but a quieter version of Angel - which I can’t stand - on my skin.

I smell something sweet like honey. Too sweet to my taste. I agree with one of the reviewers that it somewhat reminds Angel perfume.

One of the few times I was wise and didn't blind buy a bottle of this fabulous sounding perfume, and I am so glad for it! My carded sample arrived and the description on it reads: Chypree gourmand: crumble- mocha&rose - patchouli. I wholeheartedly agree, this is a rosy chypre, one of the categories I am not into at this time in my life (back in my 20s I loved chypres and unsweetened frags, now I shamelessly gravitate towards gourmands and warm orientals). On my skin there is no popcorn, no sweet chocolate or cocoa. The only edible or gourmand element is that of a biscuit like accord in the beginning, perhaps that’s what they call crumble in the description, but after 10 minutes it’s gone. Apart from the crumble, ultimately I get a very sophisticated modern chypre, powdery, that reminds me of the new Cartier La Panthere (not the vintage) plus some earthy patchouli (which can have some chocolate nuances, but come on!) It's very soft, ladylike, likeable, serious. NOT a powerhouse gourmand, not sweet or particularly playful on my skin, no chocolate in any shape or form. From the middle notes and towards the drydown I get a powdery makeup vibe, that also reminds me of Stephane Humbert Lucas' Khol de Bahrain, only that one has more salty ambergris and iris. Overall I do find Romantic fitting to its name. It's not trashy, it's nuanced. Very ladylike and soft. Not for me lol.

Woah! The opening of this scent is extremely foodie! It smells almost EXACTLY like popcorn & chocolate sauce. I wouldn't exactly describe this scent as "romantic", it's much more playful than anything. It's quite salty on the initial opening, then settles in about 3 minutes into a warm, buttery popcorn. The chocolate is there, more in the background, but it's there. It's a very saucy chocolate, not dark but sweeter and milkier. After drydown, which is about 15 minutes after first spritz, the foodiness lightens up and it becomes a light floral & patch combo, still sweetened by the other notes. it reminds me a bit of Miss Dior (2011 and 2012) I'm wondering if it smells like the original (which I've never tested) It also has a twinge of My Burberry. The sillage is light/moderate, I wish it was a little stronger. It's a really nice perfume, great for a night out to the movies or a first date for a youthful couple. :) *** Sillage: light/moderate Longevity: moderate

This projects on me like crazy. I give one good spritz to the neck and I'm choking everyone out. Never have i had this issue with perfume before. My advice is don't spray it right before getting in a car. Other than that, this perfume is awesome for nighttime. Love the dark, mysterious chocolate popcorn smell. I got a couple compliments wearing this, as well.

This one does not remind me of Mugler's Angel at all. I also don't get popcorn. What I do get is a nice, fruity, chocolatey patchouli. The longevity and sillage could be better with this though. I really like it but there is one note that holds me back from buying. I"m not sure what it is because there are so few notes listed, but to me it smells like civet.

I found this scent while living in NYC, extremely broke and trying to finish grad school. I couldn’t afford it, but I’d stop by Sephora in Union Square and visit it. LOL I’d LOVE to buy a bottle from a gracious seller! PM me if interested.

chocolate and popcorn-who would have thought those notes would make something this wonderful! i love it! its just that simple.....
