Attraction

The first time I bought Attraction, was in 2005 and finnished the 100ml bottle, loved its intensely warm woodsy sweetness. White floral? Yeah maybe... Never really knowing how powerfull this perfume was. Last year I bought 100ml and 50 ml because I read that production was discontinued, knowing how much I liked Attraction at the time. Tastes change. The overwhelming sweetness is just too much for me nowadays, every time I try again. Wishing to find the florals in it, but not finding them. That part hasn't changed, although I was never looking for a thing like that in those days. The little bottle is more than enough for me. Longevity is absolutely amazing. If there is someone who really wants a 100ml bottle, sealed, never touched (waiting to be used by the right person) please tell me so, maybe we can arrange something. It makes me sad there are people longing for it, and me never finnishing my 50ml bottle, although there are things about it to make me spray again every time. Don't know what it is about Attraction, I'm bouncing. I'm not a guest, I'm brangie.

Agreeing with other people here: It smells like your (and my) mother. If a perfume could be described as perfect, this would be it. Neither too strong nor too light, doesn't induce a headache, notes are all mingling together without anything screaming through or punching your nose. In the bottle it smells like a good whisky. On the skin, it gives a bright, soft, orange smell that is almost creamy- kind of like the smell of a silk shirt, in a way? It also gives a cinnamon-ish underbody to it, but in the sugary sweet way instead of overly spicy. I enjoy it immensely. It's a good perfume for most any situation and usually lasts you a good few hours. Weirdly enough, it pulls like cucumber and baking soda in some cases.

I had this in the original bottle and loved it. We were younger and poorer (still not well off) so I used it sparingly for years. Then it was re-bottled and sold in supermarkets and I haven't tried it but others say it's not the same as when my husband bought it for me. It was lovely on me and I would re-purchase again if I could get the original. I loved the flacon! So classy looking and classy smelling on me or so I've been told by others. I don't really like sweet fragrances but my body chemistry responds well to them and even if I think they're cloying in the bottle or on others, neither I nor anyone else thinks they're cloying on me.

I just must to say that this perfume is just so beautiful in every sense of it. I first tried it at a nearby perfume shop when it first came out in the market. At that same minute, I fell in love with it! I bought myself the biggest bottle that same day and saw to it that I'll never run out of it. I get so much compliments from my friends and strangers (men & women) whenever I wear it :) Now it's unfortunately discontinued :(... but I happened to find it again at a local internet shop here in sweden =) and they only had 3 bottles left(3.4oz bottle).. and guess what? I bought them all! :D

I was younger and poorer when this fragrance was gifted to me so I never got to repurchase it before it was discontinued. It was my signature fragrance for special occassions. They repackaged it for supermarkets for a while but I wasn't curious to buy it that way so I can't comment on whether it was reformulated or not. I really wish they'd bring it back. It wasn't heavy on my skin but lasted all evening and into the night.

Beautiful scent, although does not leave a tail. Tuberose but calmed down, musk, iris and gardenia. These beautifully combined notes give the skin a nice, warmth effect. This fragrance is not kiler one, but it has a sensual charm, durability good sometimes 4 hours, sometimes 6-7 hours, I do not know yet what it depends on. I have a 30ml EDP. Really pleasant, not screaming one, not boringone, safe fragrance.

What a discovery !!! Lancome made a great masterpiece !!! Was a blind buy ...i dont't like bunch of flowers in my nose and i had afraid that. What a surprise !!! The first snif is a little strong but not flowery. Just seconds later everythig changes in a wood,musk,sweet and AMAZING smell. Make me feel classy and very smell good !!! Why discontinued ????????? And i have just one bottle.....

I don't wear it very often but I love that it is there for me. It is soft and sweet and very comforting. It is like a duvet that I can wrap myself in when I am stressed out. On me it is powdery with no sharpness. It is like a lullaby. Sort of hypnotic. I wear it to bed on bad days. It makes me feel secretly beautiful and very safe. Aromatherapy.

This was my signature scent for a number of years in the 00's and now it ́s gone! Why! Soft and sexy sophisticated and chic. You can never go wrong with Iris, Musk and Cedar. Please please please, bring this scent back.

I'm in love with this one. It's so feminine. Like the original, natural, wild and mostly hidden femininity in every woman. I love it on myself but no one else does, so i had to stop wearing it. Curses!

I love this perfume So much, got lots of compliments when I wear it;P. somehow it reminds me Brahms Waltz, elegant,sophisticated,polite and humble.

I really love this one! I dont know where to buy this in my country now! Can any one show me another product like this scent! Thanks first!

I love this fragrance and used to receive lots of compliments wearing it. I really do not understand why it has been discontinued.

I really love this fragrance. This fragrance has rave reviews from the male counterpart! Perhaps that is what ATTRACTS me to it!

Beautiful fragrance. I love the musk in it, but I like all things musky ;) Has a sweetly clean and feminine smell.

Please please :-) I want it again in stores... This is one of best fragrance....

This is a very feminine, very sophisticated, and expensive-smelling scent whose composition renders it to be a very unique perfume. In fact, i think one of the reasons it could've been discontinued is that it's the complete opposite of the types of scents that became popular on its heels and are the current trend: sweet and gourmand scents. Perfumes like this one are in its own category and just aren't made anymore. This fragrance does give a vintage feel, as someone else mentioned. Very much ladylike, vaguely citrusy, but also unmistakably and very unapologetically floral and musky. This isn't a scent for young girls. Even in my early thirties, i sometimes still hesitate to put some on as i have to feel like i'm dressed a certain way and in a certain confident and world-wise mood to pull this one off. And while it's white floral, it packs QUITE a punch. One too many sprays could render you dizzy as it is extremely sharp upon initially spraying and lingers that way for a brief period of time. It's powerfully sweet, but not in a sugar-sweet, saccharine way. It's more like... a musky sweet that can overload the senses. Anyway, it isn't an "old-lady" smell, as some less polite people would put it. It can just be so strangely robust, despite being a white floral perfume. Perhaps it's due to the very wide array of floral essences in this, combined with the musk. Either way, this is very much a day-time perfume, despite its strength. It doesn't smell seductive or sexy enough for me to want to wear it at night. But regardless of when one chooses to wear it, it smells undeniably pricey and extravagant. My mother gave me a gift set of this perfume that came with the lotion right before it was discontinued. I was still in my very early twenties then and did NOT like it at all. I shoved it in the back of my perfume cupboard and only recently dug it out and decided to give it another try. I can't stand the first several minutes of wearing this. The white floral and musk overwhelm me. But when it settles and dries... that's when the magic of it can be enjoyed in small doses. One has to be patient with it. And perhaps with this being such a fast-paced world full of instant, synthetic, aromatic gratification, the fragrance was quickly dismissed. I finally feel like i am old enough and confident enough to occasionally pull off wearing this one, and while i do not wear it every day, and most times, not even every month... i don't think i'd ever part with it. It's so singular and different from anything else i have. This is the type of fragrance that you're either gonna love or hate. But if you're looking for something different from the seemingly endless array of sweet gourmand perfumes that seem to be a dime a dozen AND want to feel like a feminine, diamonds and pearls, skirt-wearing lady, then you might wanna give this one a sniff, if you can find it. I do think it's a gem on the right person with the right chemistry and attitude.

I needed to wear this a few times yesterday and last night in stages together; fresh, drydown, basenotes...because I admittedly don't have a lot of experience with perfumes like this. It's really lovely and makes me feel that things are bittersweet because they'fe changed. I too like others here, have the impression of a successful, confident woman who knows her direction. However, she *was* that way until she happily went into retirement and now hosts the best gin rummy nights in the best neighborhood in the county once a week; has 4 beautiful grandkids, and has a modified Chinook van to go glamping in Pedernales Falls. She's a woman with a golden heart, but she's not *sweet*. The iris is quite intense and honestly, it challenges me. Geranium isn't listed, but it smells slightly like my bottle of essential oil does, along with the soothing presence of ylang ylang. I struggle for a few minutes with this until it settles into it's amazing heart. To me, the middle and drydown smell like "laundry, but elevated"; very, very clean with some woodiness. Overall, extremely interesting and unique when compared to fragrances of this time. Composed, clean, confident "grown up" florals with wood. See if they have samples of this at your Lancome counter! The lady chuckled one into a baggie for me along with Idole and LVEB. I probably never would've had this on my radar otherwise.

This is warm, creamy, vanillic, floral, lightly sweet, lightly ambery, very womanly scent. I agree that it is mature, but I am not saying that it should be worn only by mature women! In fact I can't stand this ridiculous "age categorization". Who is to certify that a light fruity-floral is the only good thing for a teenager or that only a strong, classic fragrance should be used by a woman over 50? Plenty of young girls will wear very well a rich, "mature fragrance" just as a light, frivolous scent can be perfect for a grandma! :-) It would seem that this fragrance sits differently on each skin as there are plenty of reviewers who find it strong, potent and overly intense, just as there are plenty of those who think that it's weak and short lived. Myself - I don't find it overpowering or particularly lasting, but I would not call it weak either. It lasts around 2 hours on me and remains pleasant throughout the time. I must say that I am rather enjoying Attraction, however, it does remind me slightly of various other fragrances (several Boucheron or Elizabeth Arden creations), so in this regard it's nothing outstanding. Still I will happily wear it from time to time, especially now in the gloomy winter months!

I ALMOST really like this. Looking at the notes, it's something I thought I would love (blind buy). I bought a used bottle that is about 3/4 full. It looks perfectly good, no darkening of the juice, no sediment. I did my usual several sprays in the air to clear the nozzle of any stale perfume left behind after letting it settle for a few days. Because this was a blind buy, I can't say with certainty that this smells as it should, but the cedar and perhaps the patchouli are too prominent on my skin. I think that the iris - which I usually love - is pulling woody as well. I keep waiting for some creamy gardenia to break through and soften it, but never really get it. In time, the cedar/patch calms down and the florals peek through and it becomes prettier. Daniela Roche Andrier is one of my favorite noses, particularly because she is the "Queen if Iris", but in this case, I'm glad that I didn't pay through the Nose for a full bottle. I feel a bit disappointed! I like it, but can only see me wearing it as a bedtime scent. Silage, projection, and longevity are all moderate. Needless to say, I will not be searching for a backup bottle.
