Champs-Élysées Eau de Toilette

Oh my God. This fragrance is amazing! I blind bought it because I was looking for a mimosa fragrance, I saw it also has buddleia (which I love as a plant and I had never seen it in any other fragrance before) and I found a bottle at a very good price. I read some reviews prior to make my purchase and they were very promising, but this scent definitely outcomes my expectations. I know it has being around since the late 1990s, but I did not check it before (I was a young girl back then, looking for less sophisticated fragrances...). I have the current formulation, never smelled the original one, but I find it so good! It is floral, a bit fruity, a little aquatic (almost slightly marine), there is also something creamy and lotion-like. It is so positive, youthful and uplifting, but elegant and refined at the same time. I do not think it is a scent for a mature person (despite the fact I thought so, back in the days), I think it is quite suitable for anybody at any age. I will use it a lot this spring and summer and I am very, very happy of this purchase.

This is an overlooked Guerlain gem. A jewel in my small collection. A favorite floral. I find the mimosa flower note in this EDT to be so lovely. Light, airy, almost aquatic and ethereal. Champs Elysees has an intimate silage with a 3 to 4 hour longevity. But what a pleasure it is for that time. I don’t have the reference to former formulations, but this Les Legendaires version, with it’s beautiful bottle & heart shaped glass cap, should not be discounted. Anyone loving mimosa might want to seek it out at a Guerlain counter to test. It’s a perfect fresh & light fragrance for the summer & and exquisite for an ‘at home’ winter day. If this isn’t a Legend, it is at the very least a Classic.

At first, I was a little confused, maybe because I wasn’t expecting it. But then, I fell in love with it. The mimosa note is beautiful. To me, it has personality, and it is a very feminine perfume. It carries a subtle touch of nostalgia, yet it is not sad. It’s dreamy, as if it holds a memory within it... I find this scent addictive, while still maintaining it’s elegance. Mature and vintage, which I like, although I understand that it may not appeal to everyone. Inherently vintage yes, but in the most graceful way. I think I understand now why it is called that. Very classy scent.

It's a grey and drab winter day at the end of the year. It keeps raining and the light is already fading into darkness in the early afternoon. Scent-wise, it's a good day to wear something very sunny and uplifting, like Champs-Elysees. An intense energy boost which makes me think of spring, Paris, apples (For some reason I smell apples in it, do you?), a frosty glass of champagne and the Valentine's day... Just dreamy, dreamy, dreamy.

Champs Elysées is one of my absolute favorite scents ever. This EDT is gorgeous, same DNA as the original, less fruity, more floral. Wonderful fragrance, a lovely bouquet of flowers. My most complimented perfume, elegant and feminine. This new bottle is beautiful! Masterpiece.
