I've heard that Emeraude was a gorgeous oriental years ago. The current version (which I found at Meijer for less than $3, which should have clued me in) reminds me of baby powder and diapers.

Beautiful, pillowy, powdery - but only in its older formations. Got a collection of bottles from about the late 70s, in cologne and parfum. There is a definite familial resemblance to Shalimar,...

OK a shadow of its former self, but still a pretty floriental that is streets ahead of some of the awful fruit/fizzy pop swill that some young ladies like to douse themselves in.

This scent isn't for me, personally, but I associate it with my classy, kindhearted, red-haired Southern grandmother who passed away several years ago. This is what she wore when she sat me on her...

The old version of Emeraude was a classic which I loved in the 70s. The newer version (sold now) is urinacious skank. I'm only giving this 3 lippies because the newer version ruins Emeraude but I...

This is for the vintage version. This is one I associate with my grandmother. It was a soft, inexpensive floriental back then (70's), not too sweet. While Shalimar was always more beautiful,...

This is a review for vintage Emeraude (when it still came in a perfume or eau de parfum concentration, which hasn't happened since the late '80s). I found it on eBay for a song, and you can too if...

Yuck!!!! I haven't given this a sniff since the '80's when I'd see it in the drug stores and Woolworths. Old-lady!!!

When I first sprayed this it was a cloud of powdery citrus and I thought, Oh dear Im going to have to wash this off! Very quickly though, it softens down into a lovely, vanillic powdery oriental....

This wonderful scent has been a favorite for, gosh, must be 40 years now. Has the same wonderful impact now as then. Lovely bottle and great scent. Can't miss.

I had to buy a tiny falcon of Emeraude again after not wearing it for about 30 years. It still doesn't work for me. It's a cloying oriental with that musty note that won't quit. And it reminds me...

Emeraude is my favorite of the classic Coty frags, which also include L'Aimant, L'Origan, and Muguet des Bois. My mom used to call it "poor woman's Shalimar" (but she wore both!). I don't think...

Must be applied sparingly. Modern versions are lighter and less oriental than the vintage. Powdery, green, a strange but pleasant mix of citrus and opoponax-like notes, incense in the powder...

My grandmother wore this fragrance exclusively until the day she died at the age of 102. I loved it on her! My father used to say she poured it on by the gallon, which wasn't all that far off the...

This stinks bad. My mom likes this and that other stinky one, Tabu. I don't know which is worse. I guess on the right person it may smell okay, but I'm not sure. The bottle is nice, though. And it...

I think every woman in my family wore this when it first came out. That being said I DO like this( mainly memories and its comforting!)  I even tend to lean more towards this than Shalimar. ...

Updated review: I enjoy this when I'm in the mood for it. It does resemble Shalimar, but also has it own uniqueness - a sharp sort of tanginess in the top notes. Unfortunately, someone where I...
