S.T. Dupont pour Femme

Perfumes have a life of their own, and this one is a case in point. I bought a sample, which I first tried in cold weather and found a very good office scent, all ready for that adept, cool professional look... except on a person 2-3 decades ago. Tried it again today in warm, slightly humid weather: pure indulgence! The lady has taken off her business jacket, has let her hair down, her office is now closed, the hours are golden, and she surely means business... that is, the business of enjoying herself. It's like all the senses awaken, and her perfume awakens too: sensual (but every bit a lady still), full, well rounded, almost opulent but still controlled, never succumbing to excess. An Ava Gardner kind of personality. Flowers and woods, true, but there is also something about the blend (cyclamen, magnolia, carnation... how unique!) that makes it unmistakable. And timeless. I guess I understand its needs and nature now, and they agree with me (and I with them). I'm gonna buy a full bottle soon...

This one is rather complicated to me.I bought it together with its younger sister S.T. Dupont intense pour femme, but they are very different scents (blind buys, by the way). This one starts very bitter on me (probaby the galbanum, a bitter green, according to the description), but after a few hours it becomes a soft, clean and sophisticated scent (really clean, no detergent-scent). Very nice, but the topnotes were a bit of a scare. Worth its (low) price, but the "intense" is easier to like. Edit: After another day of sniffing my arm it starts to grow on me. First thing, this morning when I woke up there was still a trace of pleasant clean-ness left, so it has very good staying power. And now after a few re-applications during the day to familiarise myself with the bitterness in the topnotes, I really start to appreciate it. It has a crispness that comforts me. I am going to buy a 100ml bottle. In my experience the real things of beauty take some time to appreciate.

I used it 20 years ago and I loved it. Bought so many bottles of it as a back up back then so I still have one bottle left. I took it out couple weeks ago and oh I still love it! It’s classy, elegant, sophisticated, sexy. I obviously had a great taste even when I was young! 😂 It’s woody, sweet, some white flowers and amber. Very feminine, elegant and seductive. Maybe because it’s already an old bottle, the smell is very strong. I Only spray once and the scent takes over the room. Not sure if the current versions are as strong as this one. It’s definitely an evening perfume, very feminine, for a beautiful date dinner with candles and champagne.

A chic classic chypre that is both light yet noticable. It has a timeless quality and is not too retro/vintage in its composition. Well blended, sophisticated and works well for both formal and casual settings. It opens as woody-floral with a slight powdery element and gets ever so slighty sweeter as it dries down. Something you/your mother/grandmother could wear easily without any age limitations. Affordable, elegant and smells more "expensive" than it actually is. In addition, it has great performace (up to 8 hours). Very happy with this purchase.

My darling Bertrand D. thank you for this pure feminist cold but vibrant perfume. This is the smell of power, the smell of the 90 top Executives women next to the late Escada Tender of the deceased feminist brand Escada who was killed, unfortunately, after the death of M.L. My dear potential ladies, if you like Chanel 5, La vie est belle, Alien or other fragrances for mimosas let the Dupont for your stinky hands, it isn't for you, this is for Top. This is the scent of Safra C. not of the Kardashian family.

St. Dupont pour femme is a modern interpretation of floral chypre. Means, it's wearable, non-offesive, and contains only fair amount of oakmoss. I enjoy wearing this for daily office setting. It has a classic vibes in it but with a modern touch, i think the musk and woody notes prevent the oakmoss and galbanum from taking over this perfume. Pretty, crisp, and elegant. Noticeable but definitely not a statement. I love the bottle.

Allright, I have been looking around on the web, and the à la Française version is just different. Not a chypre, but a floral fruity. That doesn't make my heart sing. Notes: Top: lemon, grapefruit, citron, bergamot and lime Middle: Lavender, rosemary and verbena Base: Neroli, iris and benzoin I think I will stick to the original. More elegant and quirky in my opinion....

This was a blind buy after reading all the reviews from here. First 10 min i was really dissapointed, smelled like a 70years old lady perfume. I couldn't believe...after all this good reviews. But, after that 10 min it changed, it is a different perfume.i am not good in picking the exact notes, but i can say that is an amazing woody-floral.

I have new version. it is a light simple chypre floral to me. Clean and powdery like makeup scent. If I want to smell fresh and clean while I feel dizzy with a strong scent, yes, this is my best choice, not overpowering but still noticeable. I got compliment while wearing this. Great for everyday use.

I like it very very much. I always prefer classy, chypre notes. As for me this perfume you can wear every day , you can be stronger and more daring but you will stay a real Lady. I always thought it was launched much earlier than in 1998. Maybe I smelled the similar scent before?

Does anybody know if the "à la française" version is different from the regular one? The bottle looks the same except for the addition of the above mentioned subtitle. I love the Original, and this made me curious.....

Beautiful. Rich, full-bodied very womanly perfume with very well balanced notes. Smells much more expensive than it is actually. I detect carnation and amber, a perfect scent for fall. I want it asap.

One of my loves for sure. I find it classical, but not out dated. Great silage and longevity. Just one spray is enough to smell wonderful for hours. I find it a gem.

I used that very often in the 90s...very womanly, very refined, perfect for Business or formal occasions ...I love it! I will purchase it again very soon ...

I got an old version of this... OMG! This is truly amazing and classic perfume. I am so not to chypre category, but i absolutly love this one.

Beautiful,elegant scent. reminds me of Coty's "Masumi" which I used to wear long time ago. Perfect for Autmn/ Winter time.

One of my favourite perfumes of all times. Inexpensive, amazing smell and crazy long lasting. I love it since 10 years.

I love this perfume forever! It is the most Elegant aroma, which I know. Smells of luxury.

I had it in 2002 and it was wonderful. So sad that the new version is totally different...

I am amazed that so many people do not like this one! I LOVE this classic perfume!!!
