I fell in love with classique edp just by reading reviews and notes here so it was a blind buy (of course it was a little hard to find)...but for me it is just something more than love The most prominant note on my skin is vanilla but not a gormaund too sweet one..it is a soapy vanilla and also rum(I usually don't like soapy scents.this one is my exception) When i first sprayed it i could feel a blast of powder reaching my nose,but not in a baby powder form,that was not even makeup powder,i could feel vanilla powder in the air,vanilla powder with taste of rum,also orchid & rose where transfered into powder,very special and diffetent from familiar perfums,something extraordinary,yummy,beautiful,chic,womanly,not only a perfume,a piece of personality,not too warm,not too sweet,just clean and romantic and hard to explain,a lovely signature scent.very soapy;powdery vanilla-rum+orchid+roses and when time passes it dries down to vanilla+sandle wood+amber(this woody-ambary-vanilla combo is a magic which i die for;i can't believe this deep,sexy,charming dry down) Classique edp is nice;fancy;deep and femminine,not dark but sensual, it has no age,and it reminds me womanity(not the perfume,i mean women's world)it reminds me heavy makeup,sexy socks,jewlery,it reminds me wearing lovely and sexy dress and then cooking a cake and waiting for your man to reach home,really great choice as a wedding perfume for a bride(in the case you like it)..it lasts more than 10 hours with a nice projection and the bottle is a gem itself P.p:not every ones cup of tea as couple of my friends dislike it,thanks god my man loves it on me,he claims that this one seems like your natural body odor,it sits on your skin as a silk and sexy dress فقط با خوندن ریویوها و دیدن هرم نت ها عاشق کلاسیک پرفیوم شدم و اون رو بلایند بای کردم(ناگفته نماند که بسختی پیداش کردم)نتیجه این بلایند بای رسیدن به حسی فراتر از عشق بود غالبترین نت روی پوست من وانیل هست،اما نه یه وانیل خیلی شیرین و‌خوردنی،بلکه وانیل پودری-صابونی ک انگار تو رام خوابونده شده وعطرش رو به خودش گرفته اما خیس نیست(من معمولا از عطرهایی ک حس و حال صابونی دارن خوشم‌نمیاد،این مورد از استثناهای منه) بمحض اسپری کردن حس کردم مشت مشت پودر تو هوا پخش شد و به مشام من رسید،اما نه پودری مثل پودر بچه،حتی خیلی شبیه پودر آرایش هم نیست،من پودر وانیل رو تو هوا حس کردم،وانیل با طعم رام،حتی رز و ارکید هم گویا تو این عطر به فرم پودری دراومدن و باحالتی متفاوت از عطرهای دیگه،خاص و غیرمعمول،زیبا،جذاب،شیک،خوشمزه،زنانه،عطری تیره و تاریک نیست اما تحریک کنندست،فقط یک عطر نیست،تکه ای از یک شخصیت و هویته،نه خیلی گرم،نه خیلی شیرین،رایحه ای تمیز و‌رمانتیک و تاحدودی سنتتیک و غیرقابل وصف رایحه پودری صابونی وانیل+رام+رز+ارکیده ک میتونه یه عطر امضای قابل قبول باشه با گذر زمان ردی از وانیل(البته وانیل نرمتر و‌کرمی)+صندل+عنبر ازش باقی میمونه؛این معجون جادویی چوبی-عنبری-وانیلی به حدی برام عمیق و جادویی و جذاب هست ک براش میمیرم کلاسیک پرفیوم برای من یادآوره اوج زنانگی هست،یادآوره وسایل آرایش،لباس های توری،جوراب های بلند وسکسی،عشق و حسادتهای زنانه،معصومیت دخترانه یه چهره زیبا و‌کم سن و سال زیر آرایش خیلی سنگین و غلیظ هست،یادآور اولین تجربه کیک درست کردن هردختری کنار مادرش(احتمالا بخاطر تبدیل شدن وانیل پودری به وانیل کرمی)،پرکل برام یادآور تمام تناقضات و تضادهای ذاتی و حل نشده زنان هست،برای همین نمیشه گفت کلاسیک پرفیوم چند ساله هست،نمشه گفت یک‌زن لوند ودلربا و تشنه جلب توجه هست یا خانمی موقروشیک و ژیگول یا دختری جوان باروحی پرازانعطاف،ماندگاری عطر روی پوست من بالای ده ساعت هست و پخش عطر درساعات اولیه بالاست،درصورتیکه رایحش موردپسند واقع شه میتونه انتخاب خوبی بعنوان عطر عروس باشه،بطری اون هم ک خودش فارغ از رایحه عطر،جواهریه واسه خودش،کدوم خانمیه ک باهرسنی یه مانکن کوچولوی خوش هیکل نخواد؟! پ.ن:این عطر همه پسند نیست،تعداد زیادی از دوستام ازش بدشون میاد شدیدا البته خداروشکر ک آقامون شدیدا می پسندتشو میگه این عطر،مثل عطر طبیعی بدنت هست و مثل یه پیراهن خواب از تور و ساتن میشینه رو تنت

This is one of my absolute favorite fragrances of all time. I prefer the EDT version because I am addicted to the powdery, ultra-feminine florals in the scent--and I will probably die if it is ever discontinued or changed. The EDP slides in right behind the EDT in my best ever lineup, but I must say that the two scents seem completely unrelated at first spray. Maybe to the more sophisticated nose there are similar notes, but they're so fleeting to me, mostly present in the dry down. Where the EDT is powdery and creamy throughout, almost cartoonish in nature, the EDP opens fresh & fruity with a dusting of powder, musks and warm notes, including a skin-musk note that is one of those minute yet intentional details that take the scent to another level.The smell is undeniably that of a woman. I smells like sex with a perfect woman you only thought about having in your wildest dreams. Funny thing is, the EDT used to largely turn me off as a teen in the 90's when it was released-- but I still bought it and wore it whenever I wanted attention. It's now part of who I am - I've run through countless bottles over the years, and I simply cannot imagine my wardrobe without it. The EDP I've worn less frequently, but still a staple that is worn far more than most of the other frags I own. These days I don't smell Classique (edp or edt) on anyone. Like I can't remember the last time I smelled it on another person. Young people don't seem into it and it hasn't reached that trendy throwback stage that all the heavy amber/orientals went through recently. Selfishly, I hope Classique stays off-trend. I feel privileged to have held the esteemed position of legit and verifiable over-sprayer for at least the past 2.5 decades. My grandchildren will associate it with "old lady" smell at some point, because I will certainly be wearing it well into my golden years. Reading through some of the most recent Fragrantica reviews, I am surprised and somewhat devastated, if I'm honest, to learn that the lace corset version is no longer in production?!?!?!?!?!? I'm about a quarter of the way through my latest bottle, which I just over-sprayed from head to toe prior to writing this review, and I don't want to even think of picking up the red/pink version and not smelling the same thing. I hope the visual/aesthetic differences between the two are not indicative of the differences, because they do appear quite distinct. Reformulations frighten me and they are evil. It's like going to the museum and seeing that your favorite work of art has been reworked. It's the same, but some of your favorite bits have been changed! Some people may like it better, but it's so emotionally taxing. So as a result, this is now on a list of bottles to overstock, thanks to my fragrantica friends.

So very sexy, warm, boozy, classy, softly sweet, creamy, elegant, unique, rosy, alluring, sophisticated, powdery, seductive, ultra-feminine, deep, sensual, inviting, and absolutely gorgeous! This is what you reach for when you want that full on straight up ultimate sexy feeling and/or a straight shot of confidence. There is nothing shy about her. She’s a total powerhouse that just can’t be denied and she is just oh so damn sexy, but in the most classy, elegant, and beautiful way. She opens with a warm, powdery, boozy, floral, vanilla rose scent. As it dries down the vanilla and amber that intertwine throughout the wear become more prominent adding more of a smooth and creamy warmth. The powdery and rose notes become more soft, but absolutely remain present. This is such a sophisticated, elegant, classy, unique, and classic fragrance. I still have my bottle from around 2010 (which is what I’m reviewing) when I was in my early 20s, and I still wear it to this day. I loved wearing this back then when I wanted to feel more grown up, pulled together, elegant, and sexy. Now that I’m in my mid 30s it’s still all of those things to me besides the more grown up part. It’s just such a gorgeous and really well done fragrance that I hope to always have in my collection. Her performance is truly exceptional! The longevity is incredible, I can still easily smell it on me the next day. The projection is excellent, it radiates out at least a few feet from me. A real powerhouse fragrance, so I only need 2-3 spritzes. I think that this makes it a good value since such a small amount goes such a long way. A truly remarkable fragrance! It’s a shame that the bottle has been changed and that there has been a reformulation. I’m hoping that I can make mine last several more years as I’m hearing the reformulated version doesn’t have the same performance as the original and that the scent has also changed some. As a side note, I don’t usually get drawn into rose fragrances, but this one completely captivated me. Possibly because of the sensuality of the smooth, warm, and creamy vanilla and amber. She definitely has something very special going on. As much as I love the super sweet fragrances that are so popular right now (even Pink Sugar!) I still adore this softly sweet boozy rose and vanilla fragrance. I can understand how she may not be for everyone though, especially younger women looking for something super sweet.

I wanted to do a short addendum for the EDP version of Classique, as it is almost certainly different from the EDT and worth noting. The “lace” version is creamier and more vanilla focused, and is indeed concocted with a lighter hand than its predecessor. Opening notes consists of a boozy vanilla, orchids, and rum phases which then passes into a rosy amber-y dry down that is largely florals and sandalwood. This is a dreamier version of Classique; though it more resembles the modest cousin than a direct sibling, the EDP is still very lovely if not bit more mainstream. Personally I am not a huge fan of the lace version simply because it just isn’t the same beauty that I’ve fallen for, the lacking of spices and ginger has turned her into a common–but noble flower. Classique eventually fades into a cloud of tonka bean, sandalwood, and boozy vanilla. Nothing extravagant, just powdery and feminine. Despite constant trials with either one, the EDP is NOT stronger than the EDT in this case. I have had many outings with both relatives applied within the crevices of both arms, and have constantly monitored their progress throughout the day. It seems that the original not only outlasts its rival, but also dominates in terms of projection. Frankly I enjoy Classique in all its variations, but the primary is certainly my favorite. This EDP is just too basic for me and frankly I can find better vanilla primaries than what it provides; the market is saturated with fragrances composing of the same features that the lace version tries to push. However I would suggest trying both as they often appeal to different senses. Vienna.Pink

Good lord! I feel like I took a risk bidding on this one, and I am not disappointed! Classique opens beast-mode, enveloping you in a veil of warm, spicy musk that leans heavily floral, though the powder-bomb that first greets you does lift off fairly swiftly. I am surprised not to see gardenia listed among the notes, as this is literally all I can smell! The composition does lighten slightly during the dry-down, but only very slightly, leaving you with some gorgeously rich sillage - ever so slightly soapy, though this is not overwhelming by any means. I can't say I can detect any of the rum, and even the rose is absent to my nose but, given how nostalgic I find gardenia in general, I'm okay with this. Furthermore, there is some serious vanilla drifting throughout, which adds warmth and dimension, not to mention sex appeal. Classique does faintly bring to mind Scandal le parfum with that vanilla-and-floral combo (and why do I keep smelling gardenia where there is none?), though Classique is nowhere near as sweet and sickly. This fragrance settles into a comforting signature-worthy scent that, in my opinion, feels timeless (while still being a subtle nod to the 90s by way of the associated nostalgia). It's sexy in a mature way, but doesn't stray into that hit-or-miss powerhouse territory the eighties provided us with, and instead treads a fine between potency and understated subtlety. In short, Classique is a scent that will age gracefully with you - matching the vibe of a woman who knows her worth, but doesn't feel the need to shout about it.
