Pierre Cardin pour Femme l'Intense

Feminine white musk floats like a cloud around a beautiful bouquet of gentle flowers. A hint of bergamot gives a clean feeling. Vanilla and sandalwood blend with powdery heliotrope as a touch of violet leaf adds an uplifting aura. Warm, cozy and rich, this fragrance works surprisingly well in cooler weather. This is a truly lovely perfume, very pretty, very pleasant, not offensive. Moderate projection on my skin for 2 hours before fading to wear close to skin for another 3 hours. Gentle scent lasts 6 hours longer on fabrics. Great worn anywhere, any time of year. I love this perfume ! Special thanks to HighCountryEsq for calling attention to this and Cardin Pour Femme EDP in reviews and on the forum. Both perfumes are excellent, well blended and extremely affordable treasures.

Holy Moly. This is my favourite fragrance I have purchased. Sweet, but not overwhelming. Powdery, but not baby powder type of smell. Last for a long time, at least on my skin. This is going to be my new signature scent, 100%.

This one was a blind buy, and although it didn't disappoint I find it a tad annoying that it is presented as a flanker to the original " Pour Femme". It clearly isn't, just have a look at the pyramid ! That said, I am thrilled I now own a typical winter fragrance, warm and dark but neither cloying nor "in your face"... being definitely a lover of lighter, spring-y scents, it has always been a bit of a challenge for me to find a cold weather perfume which I feel confortable with. It is mainly woody and sweet to my nose, with the bergamot peeking through like a ray of sunshine in interestingly and beautifully grey winter skies. Sensual and mysterious, but maybe not very original.

Oh, for some longevity! The scent is pretty but disappears too quickly. Tested in mild weather, perhaps cooler temps may be more suitable. Yes, it can be inexpensive, but I want to dress and stay dressed, not have to keep reapplying my lipstick every 10 minutes.

for me, this one is quite similar to Lolita Lempicka without the strong licorice note. This one is lighter, with more violet and vanilla.
