    This scent is stocked in my treasure trove of fragrance memories. I always have this fragrance with me; I do not wear it, but it is like comfort food to me. My Grandmother wore Ma Griffe and it...

    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 adore classic fragrances, especially Chypre perfumes so I didn't hesitate to pick up a couple of bottles of this when I saw it on discount. The first time I tested Ma Griffe it seemed to be...

    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.

    I totally agree with your reviews of Ma Griffe. It is a strikingly modern scent, and I would have a hard time imagining anyone creating today anything more avant-garde than this! At the same time...

    I agree that Ma Griffe is an amazingly wonderful perfume--very green, clean but with a "rounded" smell, not too sharp. My mother wore this when I was little (and still does) and it reminds me of...

    There is nothing namby-pamby about Ma Griffe. Nothing girly either. No voile dresses, no floating scarves, no ruffles or lace, no baby talk. Ma Griffe is, in my eyes, the perfume to wear when you...

    Ma Griffe was created in the 40s, if I'm not mistaken, but I think it is a very modern scent - sharp, green, fresh, but soft in the drydown - a real classic! It is so special that you would always...

    MaGriffe is one of the perfumes Judy Garland wore, that's why I bought it *HUGE Judy Garland Fan* and I find it to be a rather odd scent. Kinda overpowering, and "older-womanish" I'm an older...
