En Avril un Soir Reedition Collection 2007

And Persephone, you are so right comparing it to Rive Gauche, which I unfortunately are not able to smell. So this is my personal answer to that concept. The Parfum de Toilette you are referring to also has a sister in Madame Rochas Parfum de Toilette. They are VERY similar, only En Avril Un Soir has more of a purple edge to it. Needless to say, I ADORE Md. Rochas in the original formula. So this one too!!

Gypsy and Persephone, are these the notes of the vintage or the new one? I have been looking for the vintage notes forever!! I have both and think the new one is very good too, but the vintage is heaven! I have tried to get it in the database here too, but because I had no notes available, it didn't make it yet. Maybe you could help me out??

Hi Sherihan, Yves Rocher does not supply a lot of information about the notes in a perfume. En Avril un Soir is NOT like Vie Privee. En AVril Un Soir is a Floral Aldehydes like Calandre/Rive Gauche/Ma Griffe. Vie Privee is a rich white flower bouquet like Azzaro no 9. Good luck! Action

This is a very sophisticated a la Rive Gauche chypre, only darker and more sensual. Excellent and unfortunately impossible to find. I have a lovely parfum de toilette bottle thanks to my dear Action, I will surely guard it.

Wauw Juliette!! What an amazing review, I never knew about the complex construction of the base! It is indeed pure Art, the vintage formula.

A supersophisticated aldehydes! a five star! Where Rive Gauche is a ́cannot smell it ́ for me, this one I CAN smell and HOW MUCH SO!

I had a sample and then a bottle of this perfume back in the '80s and I loved it. I recently tried it again from a tester and it smells a bit different. Anyway I agree on the Rive Gauche's similarity. En Avril un Soir is less heavy than RG EdP but it's quite sharp in the opening with aldehyds like any good chypre from the '70s. It smells old in a good way, positively old for me, but not wearable because of memories. It's like being dragged back 25 years.

Il partage le même nom que son ainé mais c'est tout ! Pour le reste il complétement différent. Il fait très lessive sur ma peau. La mousse de chêne a complétement disparu. Les aldéhydes bien plus notables en quantité ne sont pas à la hauteur de celui des années 70 en qualité. L'ylang-ylang est beaucoup plus proéminent mais il est aussi revu à la baisse en terme qualitatif. La pyramide est largement raccourcie et linéaire. Chaque senteur joue son rôle sans surprise sans empiéter sur les autres. Je m'ennuie très vite. De là à passer une journée entière avec ce parfum, non ! Et le reste je ne veux même pas en parler tellement que je suis déçue ! On est loin de la caresse fraîche et douce d'un soir d'avril que son aîné promettait et assurait. Dommage.

While searching for a more accurate notelist for this scent, I was disappointed to not find it on Basenotes nor osMoz... However the Russian Fragrantica when translated with Bing! lists these: TOP-ylang, orange, aldehydes HEART-freesia, jasmine, rose BASE-butterscotch, sandal, musk Interesting, no?...

For your information, this is not a new perfume. Yves Rocher have re-launched it. It was popular in the 70s. I still think it is the nicest fragrance in the world

I love perfumes and I love Yves Rocher. I really like this scent but it's too old for me. In my opinion it's more for the 'older woman'.

am wondering why the men's version isnt listed here.the bottle is gorgeous and yes the smell is dated but very very lovely
