Tiffany

On my first trip to NYC 6 years ago, I went to Tiffany's on 5th Ave. I decided that I wanted to buy something for my mom that I could afford. The saleswoman showed me a box of Tiffany handsoaps that smelled divine, and I bought them. She put them in a large Tiffany bag, and then with a big grin, she mischievously gave me 2 medium-sized Tiffany bags in which she put 4 carded samples each of Tiffany and Tiffany for Men. I was on an upper level, and as I strode back through the entire first floor, carting all my bags, everyone fell over backwards to step out of my way, smile and wish me good day, presuming I had just purchased an arm and a leg. A funny trick in an otherworldly place! It just so happened that night I was invited to a party and met a handsome, bookish young librarian. He asked if he could accompany me to The Metropolitan Museum I was visiting the next day. So what did I wear? Tiffany of course! It lasted all day, and even when I when I awoke the next morning to take the train back to Toronto, there was a trace of it, reminding me of the kiss he gave me in Central Park at the end of our date, the intelligent conversation I managed to half hold up over Monet's Water Lilies, and the city's buzz so new to me. I wanted to save my stash for special occasions, and I wore the scent once more to a wedding before they were lost in a big move. Tiffany's (the store) is like a giant window through which you can view some of the most precious gems and artwork in the world. Tiffany parfum is like a window, too. It's clear, clean, precise and "almost too pretty". I agree with anomie et ivoire, that if you're going to wear a scent that's so, so pretty, you had best be multi-faceted, with a wild streak, otherwise the view - when someone looks at you through your Tiffany window - will fall a little flat. I'd buy a fb of this in a heartbeat, could I find/afford it. In the meantime, it's almost time to go back and get my mom some more handsoap! ;)

Tiffany is one of the most charismatic fragrances I have encountered, full of integrity, feminity and charm. It brings to mind Audrey Hepburn's character in the 1953 film Roman Holiday -- a princess raised in luxury and grace, escaping from her rigid schedule to quench her thirst for freedom and adventure. Tiffany doesn't olfactorily reflect freedom and adventure as we might interpret it today, with contemporary notes that might be categorically citrus aquatic or exotically spicy, taking us to far away places. Instead, the fragrance remains perfectly structured to classic Chanel-like standards with intentional rebelliously playful notes of iris, blackcurrant, and orange. Iris, rose, and sandalwood feature prominently in cool, powdered composition, but then is contrasted with warm, radiant golden accords of sweet mandarines, time-honored amber, exquisite white flowers and ylang-ylang. The blackcurrant is cold but luminious, without any berry character but with a little tannic undertone and dark green violet leaf that is reminiscent of the fruit's skin. Tiffany is truly a classic masterpiece that I originally didn't appreciate as much as I do today. Tiffany is evocative of a spirited escape from prototypical fastidiousness while never losing her virtue. So glad to be gifted with a full vintage bottle of this from the man I love!

Tiffany was my signature scent in my early 20's in college. Looking back, the composition seems a little advanced for such a young girl, but I just knew it smelled good. A very heady and rich floral fragrance that has some serious lasting power. This one really embodies the word "perfume" to me. I have not worn it in years, even decades, but was shocked to be reminded of it when I tried a new blind buy...Bijan VIP. Yes, to my nose this was so close to Tiffany's scent, and could it be that a $6.55 2.5 oz bottle could duplicate my beloved (but expensive - currently averages about $200 for a 1.7 on ebay) Tiffany? Well I had to research the notes, and here are the similarities: Both open with Black currant and mandarin Middle notes share Lily & Jasmine, while Tiffany has several others like violet & Ylang - VIP has Tiare Base notes share Amber & vanilla, while Tiffany has sandalwood & vetiver - VIP has musk Overall, they are quite close in composition, and on my chemistry smell almost identical. I share this so others who have loved Tiffany and choose not to spend hundreds on it may have a ridiculously inexpensive alternative that is still a high quality fume. For under $10 it is well worth the gamble.

Eek, there's a Coty reformulation? This isnt the place or time to get lost in Coty's history - I have respect for Francois Coty and much done in his name but two modern companies guaranteed to make reformulations that will cause trails of tears are Coty and L'Oreal. So it's a good thing that I am well supplied with a tall rectangular eau de parfum and an almost full ounce of parfum splash. Disability has forced me to retire early and move to my Dear Husband's neighborhood, far from anyone or anything I know. So it could seem pointless to keep stocked on a perfume like Tiffany - she's an uptown late 80s scent for dinner at the country club or something that costs money. Which means when I wear it to take a walk while waiting on my laundry I smell sooo marvellous. I don't know if there's anywhere that Tiffany would be an easy choice to wear in 2017 but it's a gorgeous, rich, sensuous perfume that you couldn't not feel tall in. Good thing for retired ladies, we're all considered potentially batty and thus no perfume is out of the question.

Fantastic multidimensial Damascus rose, its develops all the time, and entailing you further and further in your subconscious, you follow after it speechless and bewitched. It will make you its own slave time after time of wearing, you will see. The juice of mandarine and black currant is divine here, - same as in Tiffany Trueste that I admire as well - fruitiness paired with flowerness in a mesmerizing way, that logically people can only manage to succeed in another Universe, producing there nectar like flowers themselves, yet Demanchy did it on this earth and in our time. I would take him out for that) I beleive he was working at that period of time in collaboration with Jacques Polge, thats why these two fragrances from Tiffany have such a similar vibe. Its deep, but tender, persistant, but fragile, it is aristocratic, but gripping and thrilling. In many scents that I do vote "love" there is always something that I would want to improve slightly, not like that with Tiffany. Its superior, beyond perfection.

Oh Tiffany, how I love you......when I was 14, I lived in Newmarket - the horse racing capital of the world. That year Tiffany sponsored the 2000 Guineas and my Dad brought me a miniature of this. At the age of 14, I was a complete perfume virgin so I didn't think much of this as a gift. Then one day I dabbed some on. Even as a clueless adolescent, I knew this was something special. It is quite strong when first applied but the dry down is beautiful. I'm no good with notes but this is a gorgeous floral. The silage is amazing and the longevity is exceptional. I've had, and have, perfumes from other jewellers and I honestly think they're not a patch on this beauty. It is difficult to get in the UK and when you can get it, it's expensive. That said, I can't imagine not having a miniature of Tiffany. Masterpiece.

Keep in mind you read "Tiffany" on the box, while you should read "Chanel". This is a scent 100% developed and manufactured by Chanel in Paris, then rebranded Tiffany for legal reasons. Tiffany / Chanel is a really balanced floral done in the way only Chanel could do. It is delicate, classy, rich, opulent, alluring and sensual. It is delicate and strong at the same time. It smells rich and expensive, and you won't have any idea of cheap or synthetic aromachemicals. In fact, it was sold at premium price during its launch. Whatever your preferences, you will appreciate the composition and the blending of so many exquisite flowers.. The only con is that's not for young ladies. Apart this it deserves two thumbs up.

Update! Achtung! Attention! Uwaga! Do you want to have 118$ version of it for 4$ :) 1. Go to City Centre in Dubai Deira to Carrefour market :) 2. Go to Beauty Department 3. Go to body powder section. 4. Search for: Levinia "Vogue" talc from Malaysia :) 5. Open the box- sniff it- welcome to Tiffany world. I am 100% sure either way one of them have copied the formula. And I will tell you- they have mastered it :) The one different is Tiffany is liquid and ... Levinia is a talc. I have both :) This powder's font is violet and they said they have added - white flowers. Well Tiffany has iris and white flowers too....

I received a gift set including cologne, bath gel and lotion as a Christmas gift from my late husband. He joked that he wanted me to have something from Tiffany's and couldn't afford the jewelry he wanted...I've treasured the blue Tiffany box as much as the fragrance. I agree--it is very strong when I first put it on but in a little while it lightens up. Very suitable for the office, but I tend to use it as my special event fragrance. It is however, the sentimental connection that tugs at my heart and always will.

I have purchased it from 1-800 Tiffany number will arrive tommorow- this is what have happened...Saturday July 1st - Michigan Ave- Chicago we had 4 bottles left.. next day I went there at 11 AM and there was no bottles anymore. When I left the boutique I just have dialed: 8008433269 and they still had it. I love this scent on winter time. It blends nice in the summer but... winter displays the whole richness. I will open my Jan 8th 2018 for my B-Day. Thank you...Francois Demachy <3

One of the best scents to ever be released to the public. Hands down! Everything about this is so rich, bold, and regal. Younger noses may not be able to appreciate it, but I have no doubt eventually they will. One of my mothers signature scents, she was so hurt it discontinued. I was so hurt to see the retail price compared to the 2nd hand market price lol.

This has been a LOVE of mine since 1987. I was lucky enough to score 3 bottles from the Tiffany warehouse just after it was discontinued and still have 2 unopened in boxes. One of my favourite flower bombs to wear in the spring &summer months! It is very white floral forward but is exceptionally unique. There is nothing that even resembles this closely!!

one of my favorite, long lasting, heavenly fragrance! very classy. at first i think it is too 'old' for me but as i use it more i am addict to the strong woody feeling. it made me feel secure and confident. something too good to be true!

Beautiful truly femininely mesmerizing creation... what a class and warmth embraces me while the cold winter wind whispers its secrets and promises... such a high quality addictive perfume... how I wish I had a full bottle

This is a masterpiece of Tiffany - they do not do scents like in the 80s 90s anymore - cannot add more than what’s been stated!!! It is a massive compliment getter and it lasts so long

Powdery luxury and a statement of floral.

THE VERY BEST PARFUME OF ALL TIME.

Simplemente, amo esta fragancia...

So I was wandering around in a mediocre thrift shop, nothing really interesting there, just the same old wooden or ginger jar lamps, paperback romances, hardback best sellers, racks upon racks of used polyester dresses etc. I'm a treasure hunter. I love the thrill of finding that diamond ring lost in the tangle of costume jewelry. Therefore I had not given up. In the glass locked display case, wherein the better class of junk is found, I squinted through the smudgy glass... There was a gold filigree rectangular bottle. Hmmmmmm..... When I got my greedy little hands on it I knew it was... Something..... There was perhaps 1/3 bottle of perfume left and it was a rich dark juice. Was I going to leave this? Not a chance. I'd never heard of Tiffany perfume before?.. But Tiffany.. It had to be good right? Yes, yes it was. This was PERFUME. Serious, rich, intoxicating. I was still in the process of deciding what sort of perfume I liked (if any,I am exceedingly sensitive to smells and was not sure I could endure wearing any perfume) and this started pushing all of my oh yes this buttons. My mother's mother was glamorous and beautiful. She came of age in the 40s, when glamour was expected. She did not disappoint. She did not wear this perfume, but her perfumes were the real thing. True, unrepentant, luxurious scents. It was like I found my Mimi (uh, no indeed she was not referred to as Grandma,Granny. No.) again. So. Tiffany vintage is beautiful, not pretty or sugary, but.beautiful and extravagant.

I ENJOY this very much. Funny word to us, "enjoy", because usually I use words like "love", "like", for describing how I feel about fragrance, but that is the word that comes to mind when I think of this one. It is a heavy fragrance, lasting. I've had one bottle for years. A little has gone a long way. For me now, it is a special occasion fragrance. I would not wear this every day. However, the exception is for business. It is a dressier fragrance, not casual. I wear it in the daytime into night, but would not select it as my nighttime fragrance. It is a mature fragrance - not for college GIRLS and younger, but indeed for college WOMEN and older. A fragrance to be worn that commands respect and attention. Not a fragrance with which to flirt. You wear this fragrance when you are "doing something of importance ", not lounging around. I don't know too many women that know about Tiffany's fragrances, so you are likely to stand out in the crowd when you put her on. NOTE: I enjoy mixing and matching fragrances to create a unique fragrance experience and I discovered that Tiffany at my neck and Bvlgari's Omnia Crystalline EDP everywhere else works very well together. Tiffany is versatile in that it's late December now and I feel she is quite appropriate for this time of year and she really wears well in warmer months. Right now she smells very warm and cuddly, but in the summer, she smells very heavy floral.
