It was 1969, and my best friend and I were prowling the department store cosmetic counters. I sniffed the newly-introduced Azuree and swooned. "I'm getting this!" But then I sniffed Ma Griffe, and...

Ooookay . . . bear with me, here. This sounded incredible, and it is incredible. Maybe not quite the way I thought. Maybe it's just me. I'm sure it's just me. Because I read about this...

I first discovered Ma Griffe when I came across a scent strip in a fashion magazine back in the 60's. This was no doubt the first beginnings of scent strips. I tore out the strip and put it under...

Such an interesting scent... a mix of sharp notes, greens, spices, yet soft. I tried and tried to like this on me, but it just didn't work with my chemistry. It never reached the airy soft stage...

An amazing smell!!! The pure parfum has very bright and sparkling aldehyde top notes which have just the right amount of powderiness mixed with a bit of citrus. Its green due to the galbanum and...

Ma Griffe is one of the great green chypres, and, sadly, almost unknown by the younger generation. Released in 1946, Ma Griffe was developed by the renowned nose Jean Carles who collaborated with...

<P>This is a truly classic fragrance. There are so many great chyphre perfumes, it is difficult to give this one a special place. Probably more than any other kind of scents chyphre fragrances...

Ma Griffe - - Good Grief! I had a physical reaction to one of the notes; it actually made me flinch. There is a smoky, bitter undercurrent on me that makes it smell dated (and not in a good...

Ah... another to add to my glorious collection of greens.
This is GUH-REEN! On my chemistry it is a magical green - still nicely "perfumey" - not green like hay or like forest - but a lovely...

I got this soap from Europe (England, actually) and it was a kind of mint green color. It was supposed to moisturize, but it didn't actually do that. It gave me the "smooth" feeling your skin gets...

If this perfume ever went away, I would head for the nearest bridge. This is a stunning fresh floral chypre, that lasts even though it is light. It epitomizes Gallic finesse in the making of...

To me, this is a light faintly green scent. Not offensive, but not great either. A slight bitter note which doesn't sit well with me.
It can be found quite cheap (like under $20) at tj maxx.
