Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy

Eaudemoiselle is one of my favourite springtime fragrances, though I do wear it all year. It is a very feminine, classy, elegant fragrance, perfect for both formal and casual wear. It is a youthful fragrance that feels timeless. I can imagine a young woman wearing it now as easily as 100 years ago...and anytime in between. I find it a pretty linear fragrance overall. It is a green, lemony fresh rose from begining to end, though the lemon does fade a little after the opening. The lemon is sweet with a hint of tartness and the rose is fresh, dewy and pink while the basil in to opening gives a gently spicy greeness. I don't specifically notice the other notes, but they seem to round out the edges of a fragrance that could otherwise become a bit sharp and piercing. Even with a pretty dominant lemon note, this fragrance stays smooth and gentle. This smells like a pretty simple, uncomplicated fragrance, but it still a pretty unique fragrance in my collection. I think it's that hint of basil that makes it something a little different from all the other citrus rose fragrances out there. Eaudemoiselle smells like springtime in a bottle to me, but I do wear it the rest of the year as well. It is my go-to for slightly formal daytime occasions. I can also see it as a great work fragrance since it's a refine and tasteful scent that is pretty easy to like. The performance is excellent for me. For the first 3-4 hours the projection is pretty strong, reaching beyond arms length. After a few hours it settle quite a bit and stays pretty close to the skin. Someone in your personal space will still notice the scent for 8+ hours. I have worn this to a couple weddings and was still able to smell it on my skin at the end of the night without reapplying. The bottle suits the fragrance so well. It has that same classic and timeless style as the juice inside. It's pretty and simple and looks quite nice displayed on a vanity. It feels good quality, with heavy glass, a good atomizer and a well fitting cap.

Givenchy Eaudemoiselle -- an instant LOVE! This afternoon, I tried out a mini I'd bought off Mercari and within an hour had ordered a full bottle -- sometimes the jus just speaks to you! It's airy and transparent, yet interesting and tenacious, a slightly green (maybe the basil?), lightly citrusy, refined sweet rose that has almost a sneezy/dusty/peppery quality without having any pepper note. Something about its smell reminds me of the way that you taste powdered sugar in the back of your throat, a sensation as well as a taste. Kevin, the reviewer from Now Smell This, calls it a "citrus-tinged, sugar-dusted rose," which describes it well. It's effortlessly elegant and unapologetically individual and strikes me as unabashedly Parisian. You have to enjoy florals with this one, but there's nothing heavy about it; it creates a diaphanous, subtle though assertive scent bubble. It's in no way overwhelming; it kind of plays peekaboo as it wafts gently. I can't think of too many perfumes that do this; such a wonderful effect! It's appropriate for all occasions and times and is one of those scents I find interesting as well as absolutely lovely. ------------------------------------------------- Edit: The day after I wrote the above review, I did actually think of two other perfumes that do not at all smell the same but still have a similar peekaboo quality and sweetness-in-the-back-of-the-throat that I adore in Eaudemoiselle (though I think I love Eaudemoiselle more...): Carven Le Parfum -- a sweetpea/hyacinth/apricot/osamanthus scent -- and Paco Rabane Black XS Potion -- a syrupy liqueur-type amber. I wonder what aromachemical, or combination of chemicals, creates that effect?

I totally understand what some other reviews mean by this fragrance smelling 'vintage'. It smells like some fragrance you've smelt before, but it is also entirely unlike anything on the market right now. You cannot pinpoint when or where you think you smelt it. It is also unlike the classics such as Chanel no. 5 or Guerlain Shalimar. The result is a scent that smells vaguely nostalgic, like summers bygone. Eaudemoiselle opens with a fresh, sweet, citrusy rose. This phase lasts for about 3 minutes. The first hour or two is a rosy bouquet tinted with ylang ylang, with some bitter notes peeking out. Afterwards the scent grows more bitter AND sweet. The bitterness I would assume comes from the basil and some sort of wood(although wood is not listed on here); and the sweetness is honeyed in a non-gourmand way. Bittersweet and classy. Sillage and longevity is very good for an EDT. 2 sprays would suffice, or else it might turn sharp. If you scroll down you will see my review of the same fragrance from about 3 years ago. I thought it was not unique enough at the time, but over the years I have not smelt anything quite like Eaudemoiselle on the market. I find myself gravitating towards this fragrance over and over again, and it is fast becoming a favourite of mine alongside Chanel No.5 L'eau and Farina 1709. In my opinion Eaudemoiselle is suitable for most occasions except for going out at night. Bottom line: Eaudemoiselle is not the cheery, giggling type of citrus-rose. It is a photograph of a happy summer memory long ago -- bright, but underpinned by a quiet sadness.

The first spray is a blast of natural smelling turkish rose tincture (pink spring roses of the jardin the tuileries arise in my mind) and a bit of lemons which freshen the head note up. Then the fragrance melts with my skin to the light powdery and at the same time fresh smell of a make up purse filled with expensive powders, lipsticks... Maybe that's why many people find the scent so familiar. In the end the scent warms up like been hit from the first rays of sun in spring while it's getting sweeter and less fresh. I also get the much described 80s feel of Eaudemoiselle and it evokes pictures of chic french women and sunny french countryside castle rose gardens in me. – But here everything sunny has a shadowy, slightly melancholic side – an edge! I love the fresh and stylish top and the heart – Eaudemoiselle would be the perfect floral for me if the drydown wouldn't be so sweet. Anyway I love this one, the longvity is okay, sillage is good, if just the heart would be there longer...

One of my favorites of all time. It smells floral, citrusy, bubbly (reminds me of the smell of champagne when you first pour it into a glass), and a touch soapy. I am someone who detests soapy fragrances, but this is ever so slightly soapy, and in a way that is so tastefully done that I can't even fault it. Once the citrusy champagne-esque opening passes, you're left with a gorgeous clean and fresh tangy rose with a bit of musk. It's an EDT but it performs with the longevity of an EDP. It's still a light and airy perfume, so it's not very loud. It's elegant and reminds me of sipping a mimosa in a flower garden. Projection won't be beast mode, but then again, it clearly wasn't designed to be. It's very dainty and delicate. One of Givenchy's finest. I believe that it's discontinued, so I've stocked up on two large backup bottles for when mine runs out. If you haven't gotten your nose on it yet, I'd do it. In my 100+ perfume collection, this is easily in my top ten of all time.

I am a serious rose junkie, so naturally when I saw Eudemoiselle (which we don't otherwise find in Indian retail stores) at a discounted price online, I thought "Hmm, I've got to give this a try". It was a blind purchase, so I spray it with anticipation, and Voila, is it love at first spray! The basil-musk-rose notes are definitely something I've never come across, and I'm so thrilled to have found it! I get a musky, sweet rose, tangerines and citruses first, and then this develops into a beautiful basil-vanilla aroma. I do get what people mean by the 'vintage' rose here - ever smelled a rose pressed in an old book? This is what Givenchy has captured here. Lasts for more than 10 hours on me though it becomes fainter towards end. Has a decent sillage - those around me never fail to notice when I wear this. Since Givenchy fragrances are not yet vastly commercialized in India, I'm going to bask in it's uniqueness.

This began as a sample when I purchased an unrelated fragrance and it ended as an obsession. I love this scent, I love everything about it. It is a white floral and you could hose yourself down with this - yet it will never overpower. It is delicate and thin, there is no weight or heft behind it, just a feather light kiss of fragrance wherever it is sprayed. I wore this to work one day last week and a female coworker said, "omg that perfume you're wearing!" I thought she was going to say that I put on too much, instead she said it smelled fantastic and asked me to write down the name of it. I like the bottle, it is a little retro 70's and I really like that this is not a common scent and that not everyone has it. Eaudemoiselle is an uber fem fragrance. No worries about coming across as unisex, this one is all woman!

A very pretty scent, sweet, easy, almost fragile. I would imagine it suits a demure delicate Mademoisel who doesn't like the limelights but when she speaks, heads turn and people listen. The citrusy start gives this scent a masculine feel but to me it morphs within minutes to a gentle floral. The rose and musk take over in the dry down with a faint hint of tonka bean. Eau de Moselle is long lasting, well into the evening, if sprayed in the morning. It also has a lovely soft sillage for the first four hours, after which it's more of a skin scent. This perfume is a pleaser and I have even had compliments from my four year old nephew, bless his little socks. He came downstairs in the morning after I got dressed and said " umm something smells nice down here". And he has hit the spot. It is just that... Nice.

I never expected to love this perfume as much as I do. In fact, I was relatively underwhelmed by the first sample I had. And then I went through a second one..and a third. I found that I was starting to not only crave the scent but it was perfect for just about any situation. I've now not only bought a full bottle but I bought a bigger bottle as a back up! At its heart Eaudemoiselle is all about fresh classy roses with a supporting cast of ylang and musk to keep it from ever being sharp or overpowering. The basil adds a slight touch of spiciness similar to a hint of patchouli (but nicer, in my opinion). Eaudemoiselle is classy, elegant and timeless without being outdated or stuffy. It's easy to wear and every time I do I feel so ladylike and put-together.

The scent: First blast is pure roses for me. Fresh and clean like rosewater. After it settles the ylang ylang projects, deepening the roses. To be honest I am slightly disappointed as I thought this would be a more complex perfume. All I can smell are roses and ylang ylang. Mostly roses. Not the most compelling scent. I do like the vintage feeling it evokes, but for now I don't want to wear anything too feminine. The quality: Excellent quality. Cannot complain about its sillage for an EDT. Dabbed a little on my wrist and I could smell it even when I'm walking with my arms down. Edit: After four hours I could finally detect the basil! What a pleasant surprise! Sadly it doesn't project and can only be noticed if I put my wrist close to my nose.

Elegant arrogance in a bottle yet likable. Underrated but exquisite in every aspect. Gorgeous, youthful rosy scent for spring and summer. Apart from rose, I also notice soft whiffs of lemon, with a touch of sweetness. It gives me a sort of crystal freshness, like icy water. I don't get much of the musk really, which is kinda weird but positively surprising. It's there, but it isn't overpowering as in multitude of fragrances, when one ends up smelling like cheap soap. Add to it the spiciness, and a great fume is complete. Definitely enjoyable and long-lasting (8h+). A bit retro, old glamour type, yet really modern and light. Good job Givenchy! I have to add that it just screams quality and smells expensive and luxurious. *****

I was looking around Sephora, and a lady at the perfume dept gave me a piece of paper with this perfume sprayed on. After a while, the scent drew me. I asked which perfume is it. She told me this and said it is the 2nd best selling perfume in the country. She told me a lot of college student bought this (I am also a college student). She said most customer who bought this didn't have make-up on or have very minimum make-up on. I really like the scent and it lasted for 12 hours! I woke up on the next day and the scent is still on my wrist. Really love this. It gives off an innocent feeling (?) I don't know how to describe but I think most young ladies should love this.

Is a beloved perfume for me,even if I don't choose it so often to wear. If you find Givenchy creations heavy or bold or classic,this one is surprisingly modern and fresh. Yes is feminine,yes is well done,yes is long lasting and changing all the time. Rose,tangerine and basil are the first "kicks" and stay there till the end.The dry down is the best part for me,but I can't describe which notes are responsible for. The overall feeling from this beauty is something nostalgic,intensively nostalgic, with the bittersweet meaning of the word. Attention!Don't overspray,it will be terribly bitter and harsh and you gonna ruin the phases this perfume goes through.

I have circled this scent for over 6 months, loving it but not wishing to spend the $$ I was fortunate enought to pick it up in a post christmas sale at 50%. Im so happy I got it, it is a carefree beautiful scent. (i think it a happier sister to Chloe intense) The blend of citrus/rose with a hint of basil makes me think of summer in france in the 1950's. The bottle makes me think of an antique birdcage. Sillage is lovely, I never realized until a colleague started wearing this also and I noticed it on her. Also the glass bottle isnt too heavy, fancy or cumbersome so its reasonably transportable to freshen self on the go.

Very bright & "fresh" smelling. I get something green, clean, classy. After a few seconds, I get the same "rush" I used to get back in college when I would wear White Linen. It has amazing potential to be a masterpiece, so classic, elegant, lady-like. But sadly, it fades quickly leaving just a whisper behind. I think I may eventually splurge on a full bottle of this because the bottle is beautiful and I think I will always crave this scent. One of those fragrances you spray on and feel confidant, sexy, and womanly.

This perfume brings back some of my most cherished childhood memories. I first discovered it in elementary school and instantly loved how elegant and lady-like it smelled. My mom and grandma, however, always said it wasn’t for me (obv) and took it away. Now that I’m older, every time I smell it, I’m flooded with those moments of being a little kid, curious and fascinated by how grown-up it felt. It’s more than just a fragrance, it’s a beautiful reminder of the warmth and love of my family and those special times.

I am a bit more familiar with the Eaudemoiselle Eau Fraiche but I did manage to get a nice whiff of the original Eaudemoiselle at a profumeria.. Now I can see where Eau Fraiche gets all of it beauty from.. Eaudemoiselle is a very classy sophisticated fresh floral fragrance.. Givenchy did a great job with this scent and the Eau Fraiche.. The original has a classic vibe while still smelling very modern.. I highly recommend this scent to all the women out there!

The bottle looks very vintage and clean and it is made of sturdy glass ( yes, I dropped it a few times, it's still in one piece ). No complicated shapes, no flowers and hugs and kisses and chirping birds. The soft-sweet-sour scent of rose water enriched with lemon and basil can be a go to on sunny summer days and on colder spring days. As it is an EDT, you can spray it on lavishly and it stays fresh all day long.

I completely love this fragrance. I don't see the citrus aspect that people are saying. To me is powder, comforting. Yesterday I use it during the day and at night I put 2sprays of Lataffa L'éclair and with no intention I creat a GREAT combo. Please try this if you have the two. Is just amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩 I will do it again to test the people reaction❤️ ( I did again the combo and got a lot compliments ❤️)

I'm certainly in love with this, on 2nd or 3rd bottle now. This is an EDT which beats most new EDP perfumes with longevity and quality like 9-1. It has this ability to be different at change of weather. This is one of my permanent love affair, I might cheat on her, but I will be back. She has a lot of style, female with plenty of cleverness, same quality level with Hermes.

Based on this all negative reviews...I was afraid to test this perfume... but OMG , I was totally wrong. I dont understand why is being so underrated.... I think Is the best of this house...made in this 10 years...Better than very irresistible or Play Its soo cool, refreshing, femminine...elegant and absolutely not old ladyish. Its not floral at all... but Fruity floral

This is not for Basics. (LOL) You must be a confident woman, classy, and sophisticated with an affinity for the finer things in life. Down to earth and likes to have a little fun, but always in good taste. Not at all arrogant, but for the woman who knows exactly what she wants, when she wants, and how to get it. Timeless, Chic, and refined. Wear this with an LBD.

elegant floral. eventhough it has citrus in the opening, but the citrus blend really well with other ingredients. its not like your tipical citrus opening. on my nose, i can smell the floral also in the top notes. rich floral musky woody. i don't know why this so underrated while they're so beautiful 💕 i am using this for 10years and still can't get enough

Very pretty, light rosy fragrance good for spring and summer. I like the citrus in this. It's there but not overpowering. It gives just a little kick without going overboard and becoming bitter or sharp. I think the light musk and tonka are keeping it in check. I am really enjoying this now. It's a very strong like. I'm glad I bought it.

Although i'm not into flowers at all, i love this scent. I got it as a present and i'm not dissappointed in any way. For me its a classic perfume, very stylish, a scent that will last long. Not a perfume that you put on and are bored using after a month.. Its a stylish, classic very feminin scent, and became one of my favourites.

This is a light, fresh feminine floral. Starts very sharp, then smoothes out. lots of flowers but so well blended that after the first blast of green rose and citrus smoothes out & the flowers are indistinguishable. Has a vintage feel to it too, nothing sweet about it which is perfect for me. It smells classy, elegant & expensive

This little beauty surprised me. I quickly sniffed it, expecting an esoteric fragrance. Then, the citrus gave way to a delicate rose aroma. And then the sweet musk and florals hit. I absolutely love this gem. It is very understated but there is no doubt--it is a sexy combination that gets the job done.

Airy, elegant and classy. Smells very refined and isn't too citrusy (it's almost a chypre), which makes it appropriate for the workplace etc. Beautiful dry down that has a "glow" to it. A perfect warm weather fragrance that is sophisticated and polite. I only wish it lasted longer than 4 hours.

uhh I miss this so much. I was a teenager when I smell this for the first time at a local shop. In that times, everyone has 1-2 parfums at the wardrobes. I was probaby using something with a cute pink bottle, so never intended to buy this. Never forgot this even almost 20 years later..

Beautiful pure ingredients. The rose here is so real, one of the realest I have ever smelled in any designer perfume. It smells similar to Rooh Afza. The basil and ambrette gives it the herby, spicy, vegetal kick. Mmmmm...so refreshing. It brings up so many good memories. I love it.

Là mùi hương khá dễ dùng, phù hợp với mọi thời tiết và hoàn cảnh,và mọi độ tuổi luôn.blend mùi rất mượt,có chút sang trọng quyến rũ nhưng lại tươi sáng chứ ko hề tối,không quá ngọt,lưu hương trên da khá lâu tầm 8 tiếng,còn trên quần áo thì phải giặt mới hết.

This is like sticking your nose inside a bouquet of freshly cut dewy roses!... Very, very floral and etheral. Love it. It's a romantic kind of scent, like a bride would wear on her wedding day. Long lasting with a nice sillage. One/two spray go a long way.

As the daughter of a florist, and a child of the 80s, this gave me such beautiful nostalgia. This is: tangy lemon sherbet dusted over potpourri; the Valentines Day red rose from your high school crush, dried, and sprayed with hairspray. Nostalgia.

The most lovely rose I ever felt in a perfume! Wrapped in honey and basil so it's fresh and very natural. Funny and sofisticated at the same time. Quite long-lasting on my skin with a moderate sillage. Reminds me of an early sunny morning.

Gorgeous! Smells vintage with a modern twist to me. Classy and girly. It feels so "cosy" and cheering to me... Not the kind of scent you'd wear when you go clubbing,i'd say it's perfect for the day, at work or on a night out with friends.

I adore this perfume!! I think its wonderful and powdery.. Im 20 and think it suits my age and personality very well I know that some people think it smells old and grandma-like, but I just choose not to listen to these stupid comments

i cant stop myself and i bought it today,very fresh but not citrusy,smells like garden of a rich mans house,lovely tangerine melted with amber.i wish everybody smell like this.

i just discovered it today in a sample and i can't stop putting and sniffing it on me i'm really falling in love with it but unfortunately i think it dosen't last so much on me

This one is rose classic. But true, deep and powerful rose not kitschy sweetness, but rough, erotic mature appeal. Wear it in winter- its so intimate and deep.

Ysatis?? Is that you?! This is like Ysatis's modern and lighter daughter! I never could get along with the mother, but this is gorgeous!

My experience from this scent is that i only need one spray! If i do two it will be too strong but with just one it is so lovely!

We are the Moon, Eaudemoiselle is our halo, beautiful circle of sophisticated, white light around us. Unearthly translucency.

now also is available Eaudemoiselle Eau Fraiche someone tried this one? I cant find any review about it on Fragrantica.

A gorgeous light floral perfume with a hint of steeliness in the amber and musk basenotes. Beautiful bottle too!

I wear today is my 2°bottle of it. Is soap in the right dose. I feel comfortable embraced using this fragrance.

Vintage modern beauty. If you want so smell expensive, peaceful.. beautiful.. this is where you go :)

Very hard to wear it for me, I dont know if I should wear it for every day or to dress up for it??

Non American not in your face perfume. Subtly sexy,not trashy. A very fine composition..

To me, this is Bvlgari Petits et Mamans a little grown up <3 My happy comfort scents.
