Chypre Charnel

***Update 4/12/26-2 months in*** Again, wWOWw! So as with 99.999% of fragrances Chypre Charnel has definately gotten EVEN BETTER than when Id first smelled.it 2 months ago. The Peach Note seems more prominent but still remains "Grown Up" and not as playful as one might think. The OakMoss note is also more noticable giving it the "Chypre Aspect" and man does this smell Classy AF! That Beautiful, fresh, clean Peach and White florals along with the OakMoss, Patchouli and Vetiver? Outstanding. IMO Chypre Charnel may very well be THEE MOST Underrated, more affordable Fruity Chypres Ive EVER smelled. Also the performance has improved quite a bit lasting a good 7 to 8 hours on skin and easily till the following day on clothes. Score has gone up from an 8 to a (very rare from me) 10 outta 10! A modern Fruity Chypre with a Classic edge and imo worth WAAAAY MORE than the $60+ pricetag it goes for. Again, a criminally underrated true "Hidden Jem"!! Unisex leaning Feminine.. CHEERS! ------------------------------------------------------ ***Initial Thoughts**, Wow! Chypre Charnel smells really fantastic! Starts off smelling "Vintage" but as it dries down that Peach note starts appearing and its such a fresh aromatic peach, along with the white florals.. MAN! Smells great imo! The Patchouli, Vetiver, Musks and woods help Chypre Charnel smell more "Unisex" although with a feminine lean, but as a man I am 100% comfy wearing this amazing scent! Id say that the longevity is slightly above average, say 6 to 7 solid hours on skin and ofcourse much longer on clothes. Projection more moderate, but its sorta hard to rate these things until I test it out more, plus with Maturation and all. Someome had mentioned how Chypre Charnel is like a "Classic meets Modern Chypre" and I couldn't have said it better myself. Also, although this is a very fruity Chypre, its definately for "Grown-ups" and couldn't emagine someone under the age of say, 20 years old rockin' this beauty! Chypre Charnel is an 8 outta 10 fragrance minus points for performance or lack thereof. Still an amazing scent from the AWESOME house of Molinard! LOVE!

I am absolutely in love with this fragrance, and it is now my signature scent. Not only do I love it fresh out of the bottle, but my natural chemistry and this perfume create magic together. I'm so happy to have found this. I'm going to step away from the standard talk about notes. Everyone can see those above. I'm going to talk about the feelings. I helped my brother build a log home with trees and stones he harvested on his own piece of forested land. We'd strip the logs in the heat of summer. We'd carry the heavy stones. There would be coffee and his wife would bring out fruit pies to stave off the great appetites we'd work up. This perfume speaks to me of all of that. The woody resins, the subtle mineral tangs, the sweet fruit and ambery feelings of coffee and cocoa. The smell of wildflowers all around us. Somehow it takes me right there, to one of the best times of my life. The only down side for this perfume is that it is now repackaged in a hideous purple and bronze bottle.

Oh my this is such a beauty! I craved it for the notes, but was slightly worried it might be an 'old' perfume. I was so wrong to worry. This is very classy, elegant, 'rich' and also mature, but not old. Very sexy and intriguing. For me this is a very successful, elegant and confident scent, for a strong and confident woman. My new signature for sure. It is surely earthy, woody and musky, with some powder and sweetness. It is so thick, but somehow light. Enravels you in a lovely cloud of scent, without being cloying, sickly or too intense. Soft, warm, tender,yet strong, sophisticated and sexy. Very different from all out there, unique and beautiful. A Modern Classic. I can see why some people call it posh :) The bottle is also very attractive and love the little pump, that locks for safety. Charming and practical. Brilliant new addition, love at first whiff!

Chypre Charnel By Molinard: To Me anyway this Perfume is deffo a lighter version of Lancome's Magie Noire!! As on first spray on my skin it opens nearly the very sameway but then lightens up considerably which really isn't a bad thing as I also happen to love Magie Noire by Lancome & actually wear/use it!! This is deffo a light fruity Chypre that actually get's nicer the longer it's on your skin!! My All Time Favourite Molinard Fragrance is still Habinita,L'Espirit Habinita & La Cologne Habinita followed by this!! Without a doubt I Absolutely love any Fragrance that seem's to be Chypre Family based!! If you haven't yet tried Chypre Charnel in my opinion you don't know what your missing out on!! & Yes like some other reviewer said Molinard seem hard to track down in any Perfume Shop's in Paris/France unless you visit the large Molinard Boutique itself!! This could be them following now in Guerlain' s footsteps!! This deffo is a very beautiful soft,creamy well put together Perfume that is deffo worthy of it's Molinard heritage!!

I've generally stayed away from fragrances with oakmoss as the prominent note. Today, I come across Chypre Charnel and voila, I'm in LOVE. Another lesson well learned, always experiment !!! It is a sexy, sensual floral-fruity Chypre backed up with musk. Welcome to my wardrobe, you definitely will be appreciated without any seasonal restrictions.
