Pierre Cardin pour Femme

Thanks to member HighCountryEsq for mentioning this perfume in the forum. What a hidden treasure ! Cardin Pour Femme perfume is stronger at first spray, with medium projection for about 2 hours, then wears close to skin for about 3 more hours. Delightful scent, well crafted, this perfume does not smell cheap. Cinnamon, apple and orange at first spray remind me of apple pie. Fruits and flowers blend well. Within a few minutes, amber and tonka appear, then hawthorn, patchouli and vetiver combine to balance this fruity floral. Sandalwood, vetiver and cedar are smoothed out by a touch of vanilla and caramel. . Musk is light, creating a sheer, uplifting powdery feel. Cinnamon and woods last all the way through the drydown. Very pleasant crowd pleaser, non offensive. Perfect for anyone, any season. Very French ! Unisex ? Sure, why not ? I'd love to smell this on everyone !

Kind of reminds me of a peach/nectarine pit. Woody pit , soft essence of remnant fruit juice, drying out in the sun - powdery soft essence as little sugars turn to a single drop of caramel dew. The white/green florals are soft and just give it a little lift. Soft gentle fragrance. Discounter had it for $9 and it's worth that. It isn't similar to anything else that I own. I love the comment below, haha. The old days where a flip through a magazine wofted a soft fragrance at you.

Lovely scent! Very long lasting on clothing, I sprayed once on a sweater yesterday afternoon when I received this in the mail and it’s still going strong 15+ hours later. Getting better even over time, as it’s beginning to soften very nicely. Will definitely be in rotation as a daily for me, very easy to wear and non offensive

Spicy fruity vanillic juice perfect for coming winter months. It is soft and particularly pleasant in cold weather, it possesses the wow factor but unfortunately it is short lived. The fragrance does not last more than a couple of hours and has a soft, modest silage which, considering it is an Eau De Parfum concentration, does not deliver. The only suitable ocassion I can think of wearing it, is bedtime, as by the time you fall asleep, the fragrance will go puffff which is a great shame as it is truly a great combo of spicy cinnamon, vanilla, wood and fresh fruity notes. I will not repurchase, as reapplying the fragrance every couple of hours is not what EDP should deliver.

This is a nostalgic, quiet yet happy and comforting fragrance. I am not into sweet notes generally speaking, especially when they dominate, but this is more "yummy" or "gourmand" than sweet.It is a wholesome kind of sweetness. Caramel and nectarine bring back childhood memories while the powdery flowers give this scent a kind of retro romantic side. The bottle looks great. I do not think it matches the scent, though. Neither round nor feminine enough. Lasting power is average. Very easy to wear. Sophisticated enough for an evening out but suitable for a weekday too.
