Deauville

To wellse: It does not suck, wellse, Deauville does exist as an EDP for women, read Olga's review below. There are dozens of online perfume shops selling Deauville for women. It is your fault you have not read the product description properly wherever you bought your bottle from. And if you did - just return it and try to find a more reputable retailer. Olga's review sounds so interesting that I just ordered myself a bottle! I hope to be at least as positive as Olga especially that it is my (yet another) blind buy lol I will leave my review soon!

I got this for Christmas about 11 years ago, and still love it for the fragrance I wear to family gatherings. To me there is a strong smell of cherry chiclets, and I love it, brings back memories of childhood. It's also a great fragrance for getting close, it smells edible!

I like it! Sweet and fresh. Its very oriental. Not strong but not weak. Cheap bottle falls apart. E-eh!..

I'd forgotten I had this in my drawer of favorite backups :) I originally tested it at a perfume shop and thought nice but not enough to purchase, they were asking $45 for a 3.4 oz for the EDP. A few months later I found a discounted 3.4 oz EDP for $8 at TJ. I bought and really didn't have any expectations. Fast forward to today and I pull it out of the drawer and try it. At first spray/first notes it smelled cheap and I thought rightly so. About a 1/2hr it began to change and it smelled so much better. An hr into the dry down it became a very elegant floral. Someone mentioned it smelling something like a flower shop and I agree, it's floral yet cool. On me, I get the Peony, Rose and Pear. I don't find it very sweet nor do I get the coconut, but I can add that by layering which I will try soon. Longevity on me about 8+ and projection is a bit more than that of a skin scent, so not loud but now so light either. Very pretty and most pleasant for everyday wear in an office environment. Pleasantly surprised. Some folks assume it's just a cheap perfume, but it is not. It is simply, very affordable now because it's been around for 20yrs. If you get a chance to purchase, I say get it. My box is pink with a light yellow tint in the juice.

This scent is a pleasant surprise. "Aquatic" fragrances usually disappear on me. However, Deauville, while light, has good longevity and is subtly delightful. I think the rose/pear combination is a more sophisticated variation on the popular fruity/floral genre, and the slight aquatic accord is more of an accent note that lends a certain freshness. The sillage is rather weak, but Deauville is an excellent choice for those occasions when a "sillage monster" would be inappropriate, such as a crowded restaurant or the office. The bottle is a lovely example of Art Deco/Art Moderne style, resembling an ocean liner (especially when the cap is removed, revealing the "smokestack" and "deck"). Summer update! : Deauville actually becomes stronger and lasts longer in humid weather. It seems to "come alive" in that kind of weather, but is never overpowering or inappropriate.
