December 2014: One of my favorites. I've owned my 1 bottle for at least 3 years. So versatile. I wear it day or night, all year round. To me the fragrance is VERY classy, but yet I don't feel that it needs to be reserved for special events. I would not restrict myself with this fragrance. I wear it to bed, often, because it has a soothing, calming effect on me. It also makes me feel very pampered. I wear it casually and formally. It is definitely a snuggle fragrance. My husband is comforted when he smells it on me and we embrace or cuddle. CE draws you in. It is alluring. I've read the description and was surprised that it is considered a gourmand and there are fruity notes in it. I smell the powdery part real well, as well as the floral. I absolutely smell the vanilla. It is a distinct fragrance. It is long lasting. Because of its softness, it is appropriate for business and situations wear you don't want an overpowering smell, but you want others to smell you. If I had a baby, I might spray things in the nursery with it. It is not a clean smell as much as it is a pure smell. If it were a color, the color would be white. If it were a texture, it would be fluffy, like down. I have nothing bad to say about it. I will do my best to always have a bottle in my collection. I just hope they don't discontinue it or reformulate it. The bottle is quite lovely too, feminine and elegant. 4/4 stars. It's really a wonderful perfume.

This was my first introduction to the House of Guerlain, which is now one of my favorites. This scent doesn't contain the typical "Guerlainade" as found in so many of the vintage, and even some of the current fragrances (L'Heure de Nuit, I'm looking at you!). That it doesn't contain this house's backbone is a good thing. The one I'm wearing (vintage, not the bee bottle) opens up like a very *very* tame Giorgio of Beverly Hills with white floral and iris, and none of the oakmoss or patchouli. The peach is present but definitely not as present as Lancome's OG Tresor. The middle notes of lilac, almond blossom and rose are present (I never get the LOTV), but the dry down is the best, warm vanilla and creamy almond. Not good for a blind buy unless it's a vintage mini from eBay. This beautiful perfume is rich, maybe borderline cloying at first, but also a perfect fragrance for a perfect day (I wore this in 1997 for my wedding). While the marriage didn't last, my affair with Guerlain thrived, and my affection for this fragrance has never ended, despite the bittersweet memories of days past.

I wear this all year round to bed. It is soft and powdery to my nose, comforting. But I agree with previous reviewer who described it as elegant and posh. If I choose to wear her out in public, the event is special and dressy. Not necessarily formal, but definitely not casual jeans and Tshirt. She is Sunday church, luncheons and special parties. She is great for professional business as she is noticiable, but not overwhelming or intense. At night, she draws your man in for slow dances on the dance floor or cuddling up anytime during the date, because she doesn't project far. He'll want to get close and stay close to keep breathing you in. She lives long. You are likely to smell her gently lingering on skin the next day or in your scarf or clothes the next morning. This one is not a common fragrance. IMO it is for the mature ( in mind and attitude, not necessarily in age) woman who has arrived; elegant, sophisticated, posh, confident, and who loves expressing her femininity. She's a 4/4 for me. I will try to always keep her on hand.

I loooooooooooooove Champs Elysees. Just love love love it. I don’t like the opening. Its chemically, sharp, a little damp, unpleasant. And it gets even worse in the following 10-20 minutes. But within an hour or so it magically turns into this exquisite floral spring bouquet of flowers. It is simply one of the most delightful floral symphonies I know on the fragrance market. Its layered, sophisticated and joyful, sunlight falling on a bouquet of fresh yellow and white flowers in the drawing room of an beautiful French chateau. Its really amazing that such lightness and natural, non coying sweetness can emerge from underneath that opening. This a showpiece of complex perfumery knowing how to create these layers that eventually finish in this celebration of beauty. Its truly an exquisite floral perfume, I cannot stop smelling myself when I wear this, kind of like when you can’t stop drowning your head into a bouquet of flowers you are carrying.

On me: compared to the EDT (c. 2010ish), the EDP (c. 2017) is smoother, less fluffy, less of that clothes-from-the-drier nose prickle. The nuances are more apparent too. I could never get anything other than mimosa and lilac from the EDT, but in the EDP I do get the melon, almond, peach, a little violet and rose, and something almost green -- perhaps the 'almond tree'? In general, it leans more towards soapy than powdery on me, whereas the EDT is much more powdery. It's slightly fresher, fruitier, maybe a little airier. The EDT feels drier to me, while the EDP has a little juiciness. I already loved the EDT, but I think the EDP might actually beat it! I blind bought it hoping for more longevity but I do think it might be superior (to my nose at least). It's the EDT upgraded. :) In feel it reminds me of vintage Diorissimo -- there's that sparkling, sweet, champagne-like floral, with a hint of greenery, and a soapy dry down.

Still one of my Top 3 favorite perfumes of all time. I wore it when it first came out, it was my signature. After that, it became harder and harder to find, and I reluctantly moved onto other scents. While chypres have become my favorite type of fragrance, Champs-Elysees will always be in heavy part of my rotation. It's mimosa, apple-y, slightly powdery scent smells almost like ice-cold wine. This is the scent I always imaged when Anne Rice had Lestat describe all those drunken philosophical conversations with Nicolas. It is classified as a fruity-floral, but it is so much more than that, and certainly head and shoulders above most of the modern creations. I will always love this, and plan on stocking up in case the worst happens and it becomes discontinued. I know I said most of this in my earlier review, and that Luca Turin can stick his review where the sun doesn't shine, but felt like it bears repeating.

My signature fragrance. Received as a gift from my best friend in the 90s. I was in my 20s living on my own. Young, beautiful, in love, and having a wonderful time. Wearing the fragrance today still makes me smile. There are so many components. The lilac, almond flower, violet, and anise makes this floral fragrance unlike most. Its a complex floral for me it starts off open airy then floral to a powder and the final sweet vanilla sandalwood stands on its own or a great base to layer a more seductive peppery fragrance for an evening out. I always wear it for myself to feel pretty in a floral scent. My office, lunch with the ladies or just a day out and about. I never thought of it as a man grabber fragrance. A review mention someone using 5 pumps! Lord! It is not overpowering but the silage can fill a room. I’m in my 50s now and have a greater collection of fragrance but I never stop loving this scent.

It's very rare that I buy a frag more than once. It's mostly b/c I simply get tired of it as the bottle empties. This is the ONLY frag that I have purchased, not twice, but three times! My daughter was getting married this past January, and I went on a research spree for a suitable frag for myself. Since it was a destination wedding at a beach resort, I wanted something light but not fruity, something not 'too out there' as I was the mother of the bride. When I couldn't find anything I thought was suitable, I simply purchased the Champs, b/c I knew it would be perfect. I dunno what it is about this frag...the initial hit is oh so wonderfully floral without that cloying overly sweet way some florals can be. I don't know if it's the mimosa or the peony, but it grabs my nose and holds it...in a great way. Sometimes you just have to go with what you know and what works.

I wrote a review for this fragrance some time ago, but I think I accidentally posted it on the page for the EDT... It still applies to the EDP, and is as follows! I just love this. On first application, it's very floral, but within the first hour of wear, the almond notes come forward like crazy on my skin. Such an interesting and unexpected transition. I was actually really surprised that "nutty" was not one of the main adjectives used to describe this fragrance. I absolutely love this scent's creamy dry-down; it's like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket, and it just goes on forever. I've been wearing Champs Elysees for about 11 hours now, and I'm still catching whiffs of it. Ugh, just gorgeous. For any time of day, occasion, or season; thinking it might be the perfect lift in the fall.

I've had Idylle for some time now, and I'd been debating with myself for weeks whether I really need another Guerlain floral... but today I finally gave in and purchased Champs-Elysees. I'm wearing it right now and, honestly, this stuff is divine. The opening is a bit harsh, with anise and almonds obscuring the flowery heart, but after only a couple of minutes it morphs into a gorgeously flowery-powdery luxurious bath. While Idylle is dominated by the rose, the strongest note in Champs-Elysees is mimosa (and I absolutely adore this modest January flower), although the rose is also there, together with lilac and peony. In terms of projection and longevity, Champs-Elysees actually beats Idylle by a wide margin, yet it's never intrusive. Truly a masterpiece.

I have loved this for years and decided to buy another bottle after getting bored with my newer buys. I love this so much. It just makes me happy! I have to use sparingly because a little goes a long way but the champagne smell just does it for me. It's got a fizzy, floral scent that warms up/down and has a yummy vanilla-y smell, at least it does on me. I'm a little sad that I can only wear it in the cold winter and maaaaybe pull it off if it is chilly enough in the fall. But I cannot, will not, dare not wear this in the summer. I imagine the heat and humidity of summer and the warmth of spring would turn me off. I'll see, but I am so glad I remembered liking it and biting the bullet and buying a new bottle. Even with the reformulations, it's still nice.

I've known this ever since I was a little girl and I distinctly remember the golden recipient lodged in a beautiful pink on the inside box. To my then nose, this magic potion smelled like apples. Not green or red or any kind of wordly apples but golden apples, the kind you hear about in bed-time stories. I guess it was because of the recipient and the golden box mixed with the mildly sweet, powdery yet still fresh fragrance. Thing is, to this day, Champs Elysees (although a bit dilluted from what I remember) still retains that enchanted luminosity from my memories. It is still beautiful, distinctive, sweet, fresh and, to my utter surprise, the longevity and projection are excellent. Springtime french classic, always a love.

The aroma very parisian. For me this is first of all a beautiful white rose, not cold, not soapy & not powder - she is a live. And not solo - this is a huge bouquet of white roses without a thorns. At the first moment when applying i hear the green composition of fresh leafs, petals and a drops of dew, like in flower stores. The dew leave... and i breath in fluffy haze of mimosa. The fragrance slightly bitter & tart ( maybe this is petals of lilac with an amber ). And of course purple violets, luxurious powder of violets - brand chord of Guerlain, clearly feels in aroma. The Eau de Parfum sounds loudly. In my vintage bottle with a shoulders there's not much left. I'm wearing it neatly of course in the spring time .

To me it's narcotic. I sniff myself obsessively when I wear this. I think I might have a problem! It is perfection as far as floral scents go. It is creamy, well rounded, strong and hypnotizing and yet it maintains a completely natural vibe. So many flowers here, I think you might need to be aware of bees. The fruits are playing the support role and they are mature and elegant while the vanilla and benzoin warm it up so skilfully. (This has nothing to do with the majority of fruity-florals that keep popping out on the market today with their synthetic cheapness and screechy notes.) I find it extremely romantic as well, in a torrid, passionate way. My advice is to go for the edp, it is more refined and lasts longer.

A wonderful scent that starts out crisp and fruity with black current, melon, and peach, bursts with flowery scents of lilac, mimosa, peony, almond blossom, and violet, which soften a delicate rose, and ends up woody with cedar, sandalwood, and almond tree. A lovely combination! Champs-Élysées is not like those old-fashioned grandma perfumes of yesteryear with one cloying scent to drive you mad. This is Guerlain at its most modern, most subtle, most delicious. Yes, it is a delicious fragrance that makes you long for Sunday brunches with champagne mimosas, almond pastries, and crepes with strawberry jam. Note: Perks up considerably when you layer it with Jicky. **** 4 out of 5 stars.

Almonds, mimosa blossom, peaches, lilac. Hibiscus and peony to blend and mix all notes. Cedar, vanilla and sandalwood ground the sweetness of the more fruity notes and help the more volatile flower notes stay. This is the most glorious, classy yet sassy floral gourmand I have ever smelled. It is just perfect. Long lasting yet delicate enough not to be offensive to others. The dry down is sweet but clean, never clogging, making this a perfect fragrance for the warmer months, that is still cozy enough for autumn / winter. Champs Elysees EDP is a grown up yet playful, joyful scent, complex yet so well balanced it never gets odd, not in any of the stages it goes through. A true beauty.

another marvellous classic from guerlain-i came to a conclusion that the older generation women smelled more classy then the women nowadays the opening reminds me of the houbigant's quelque fleurs probaby because of the dominant lilac and lily of the valley-it is almost soapy and litte "old lady like" at the beginning but after few minutes the magic starts and it suddenly transforms itself into a magnificent and very feminine scent-a little powdery mimosa mixed with "something else" it is light- not offensive but very distinguished and classy i like to use it before going to bed it cuddles me to sleep-so relaxing and pleasant definitely one of my favourites

Oh Guerlain, you always know the way to my heart, be it your perfumes, skin care, or makeup. This is such a happy, cheerful, elegant, refined, beautiful perfume. It truly is a joy to wear! The Almond Tree Flowers and Mimosa are so true and jubilant, and accented gorgeously with almond tree wood. As you inhale the sweet, soft yet bright florals, at the tail end you can detect the soft, nutty, waxy texture of the almond wood. The Hibiscus seeds are like the ribbon around the bouquet. The almond and Mimosa/Almond Blooms together is beautiful. This is elegant, Sophisticated, beautiful, feminine, soft, and deliciously intoxicating. I cannot get enough of it!

There was a scathing review of this perfume that questioned the mental capacity of anyone who enjoyed this perfume, calling it the second-worst perfume Guerlain ever made. To that, I say the critic can stick it up their jumper. Yes, it can be sharp at first, but it settles down to a lovely, powdery, mimosa. It almost reminds me of ice-cold Apple wine. It is very much a "yellow" scent. One of the previous reviewers said it sparkled, and it really does seem that way. In the end, perfume is supposed to make the wearer happy and Champs Elysees makes me happy. The perfume is a little richer and less sharp than the eau de toilette, in my opinion.
