Parfum D'Or

Affordable luxury in a bottle. This vintage beauty smells so good. I can't compare it to any other fragrance. Absolutely gorgeous and feminine. The flower stopper is lovely and the clear glass bottle is too. When you spray it smells like a delicious peach syrup and honey. The fruit top notes are coming through - orange with orange blossom front and center but mostly peach and plum. Juicy, deep rich fruit and fruit cake. Sweet fruits. There is a spiciness coming through (cloves?) and it's got a flower juice in the heart. To my nose they are simply a tame rose, carnation, jasmine and ylang ylang.Colorful floral not white floral. Smells more like yellow, orange and red flowers. Floral but sweetened by that peach note which remains the most dominant of all the notes. From somewhere a warm honey. As it dries it's mostly musk. I can detect amber (which could also smell like honey) but it's a very warm musk that I am picking up on. The scent is not fresh. It's warm and spicy, fruity-floral. Yes it is dated and if you buy this blindly you may not like it so it's best if you have experience with vintage fruity floral musks or fruity chypres (sandalwood and patchouli) i.e. Dior Poison, Giorgio Beverly Hills. 273 Rodeo Drive. This perfume is in that kind of vein. Last all day long and sillage is a bomb. Spray once and you're good to go. Beautiful fragrance for any season but best in summer and autumn. Formal but also good for casual 'girlfriends only' lunch. I love this perfume. It's like honeyed flowers and musk and again the sillage and the longevity are amazing. I like it when my fragrances last longer than 4 or 5 hours! This one lasts until the next day!

This scent is gorgeous, rich, opulent and delightful! It transported me back in time to the early nineties when I wore Ysatis and Amarige by Givenchy. It is very reminiscent of Ysatis to me, a well balanced floral on a woody, musky chypre base. There is nothing loud or harsh about this parfum. It's soft, powdery, sexy and elegant. I definately owe a debt of gratitude to "Your Foxiness" for suggesting this to me; you were right on the money honey--many thanks!! It opens with a burst of sweet citrus from the mandarin and orange blosson, transitions smoothly into the heart where the clove is blended so well it adds a touch of spice but is not overpowering and drys down into a sexy musky, sandalwood base with just a hint of patchouli (the dry sweet kind)...oh it's heaven, I adore this parfum. and it was a bargain to boot!! Less than $30.00 US dollars with shippingfrom ebay, for 100ml of the edp!...To my beloved Ysatis, I believe I may have found a new love, or at least Kristel Saint Martin Parfum d'or will be my favorite chick on the side ;-))

i tried this at a fragrance shop and spent serious time testing at nordstrom's afterwards. this effervescent beauty opens to me with almost a sniff of fresh wheat beer, or champagne, probably the pineapple. it then opens up to bubbly, bright fruits and a breath of flowers, while the patchouli and woods keep it grounded. really an underestimated perfume. it gives the feel of an old chypre somehow without oakmoss, or any mustiness. sunny, bright, very multifaceted. its a must wear to appreciate, this has a lot of average "fruity floral" notes, but has far more to offer. oddly, a feel of "coco m" style lightness with class. i bought the gorgeous bottle after wearing that test spritz for about 5 hours. it stays with you as well! an UNDERESTIMATED BEAUTY!

For some reason my posts keep getting remonved!! Not sure why. I will put my review here again. It smells a little like Jennifer Anniston's Lolavie. I think hers dries a little more beachy but this has a strong jasmine in it almost like Red Door by Elizabeth Arden. It is much nicer than Red Door. It is very strong but not offensive. The staying power is good. It smells like a mixture of perfumes like Dior's Poison Tendre which is now discontinued. The pink version of this is much more fruity at the beginning so if this one is too strong try the pink one. It should be much more expensive than what it is because the bottle is nicer than some of the celebrity ones and the quality is superb compared to some celebrity ones which charge twice the price.

what else is there to say @ this lovely fragrance other than it is refreshing, sweet and yummy. I got it @ such a good price on eBay it was insane I figured why not let's try it and I'm glad that I did buy it in the big bottle because normally I try out the mini's first before I commit to buying a big bottle but because of the price I indulged on a big bottle and I'm so glad I did. I'm now going to place several other orders because the price is outrageously low and would make great gifts for your friends, birthdays or holidays. I don't know how I found this fragrance but I'm so glad I did this is the best kept secret ever!!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
