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!!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Have ordered this one blind, based on the reviews. This is trughly a tresure! From the very first sniff you are back to the late 80 ́s and mid 90 ́s. Long lasting. Transforms gently and becomes very classy and expensive smelling. It is not loud it is sexy :) Does not cost a fortune but not easy to find. Just got my second bottle from the Amazone. Usually, I am not buying few bottles of the same fragrance, but I sure did this time.

Though Parfum D'Or has a bit of a vintage vibe, it is not in that aldehydic or oakmossy chypre kind of way that smells like bug spray or nursing home funk as many otherwise beautiful vintage fragrances smell on my skin. Instead, Parfum D’Or mixes nectarous fruits with florals, creating a sweetened floral vibe that strikes me as elegant and appealing. I find this one to be quite timeless.

A cheapie but a beauty - spicy plum with a fizzy sparkly note along the lines of Yveresse or gucci rush. The plum is very noticeable reminds me of Versace couture. Also like a cinnamon free Feminite du bois Very delicious and glamorous in an 80s way but by no means passe. my other half loves this one on me.

Begins with a burst of clean jasmine and other flowers , intensified by citrus and aldehydes. Within 15 or so minutes, it softens with some sweet fruits and subtle oriental notes. Projects well and lasts for several hours. A classic white floral that smells much more expensive than it is.

Instant love, I love Cabotine therefore this one is great. Only difference is this is a slight richer than Cabotine making it a little better for the winter. I love it! Can be worn by all ages for all seasons. Very feminine. Happy Perfuming!

This is rich, honeyed and delicious floral fragrance. It is bright and full of life. I just picked up a bottle after being literally 'wowed' by it. Cheap and very very very cheerful.

beautiful honeyed vintage spring floral without strong aldehydes or woods; the main note to me is orange flower with peach then some ylang, rose, LOTV, jasmine and musk

It took a while for D'or to grow on me and finally it did. It smells nice and lasts at least 6-8 hrs. I have to wait 15 min. for the strong top notes to settle.

does anyone know about parfum d ́or elixir, the one with round bottle? does it smell similar, is it the same or not? we don ́t have it yet in the database here

This smells similar to Gres Cabotine, but with more sweet peachiness.Very pretty and feminine. Bottle is lovely too!

Another spectacular clone to Amarige De Givenchy.

Sweet surprise housed in a crystal paradise.

This one comes and goes in stores here and availability. 100 mills is available for 15 Aussie dollaroozies right now at various outlets and chemist's. It's a classic. Best value for money next to Jeanne Arthes fragrances. Which are almost impossible to source here as there are no distributors for Jeanne's range in Asia pacific. D'or I suspect is being released right now for Christmas. Many Nanna's will be getting this in their Christmas stockings this year. But I don't believe you have to be a granny to enjoy this. It's a very good scent. A good alternative to Estee Lauder's Knowing, but lighter, and little bit like Ivoire by Pierre Balmain. Cheers T.

This smells really nicely feminine, elegant and almost "vintage". But I am afraid it doesn't combine well with my skin, because after a while it just smells like furniture polish...you know the ones that are supposed to contain beeswax.And lots of almost over-ripe fruits. It is very affordable where I live( 10€)so I can't say I regret buying it. I enjoy wearing it now and then, but I won't re purchase and on the whole I find it too quiet and conventional. Anyway, I need to find some fresh notes in a fragrance, and it is not the case here. Well, gold is generally associated with warmth, I should have known better...

A sweet fruity floral, mainly a peach, violet and sandalwood mix with a pinapple infusion in the top. In the heart there are classic flowers like jasmine and rose. In the end it has a little dash of patchouli that adds a some creaminess, and amber to add some more sweetness. It's nice and wellcrafted but not very original. If I didn't have so many other perfumes Parfum d'Or would maybe be a good daytime perfume for me in the same way that I like Bvlgari pour Femme. But now, as the fragrance geek I am, I guess it would end up as a dust collector in my perfume cupboard, as it would have too much competition.
