    Simply because this beautiful vintage deserves a review in every decade. Beautiful gardenias, those old metallic aldehydes, bold and bitter galbanum (my favorite note) decorated with cloves and...

    Good Heavens! Did I really not write a review for this stunner? Ma Griffe (an older formulation - parfum in ring-notched glass bottle that came in green and white striped bag) was the first...

    I used to buy this for my Mom for Mother's Day, and remember the green and white striped box very well. She wore it for everyday, Arpege for evening, and I never considered wearing it myself...

    This used to be my holy grail perfume. Honestly I used to get butterflies when I unwrapped a Christmas parcel and saw the stripped green and white box. It was a beautiful green, clean smelling...

    I layer the eau de parfum over the body lotion, then add pure perfume at pulse points and the result is heaven. Fairly decent lasting power but of course have to reapply after a few hours. The...

    I recently got a bottle of this for cheap. I got this blind, I based it on reading many reviews. The initial scent is very strong and over-powering and causes my sisters sneezes non-stop. :( ...

    I recently found a bottle of vintage Ma Griffe parfum at an antique store and ooh la la, I like this! Oh who am I kidding, I'm in love with it! I mostly favor classic, vintage scents and my vintage...

    No offense to the MG lovers, but I found this to be incredibly boring and average. It's a slightly soapy green, woody chypre with a spicy (cinamony) & powdery drydown. Nothing interesting or...

    I like this. It's a very powdery greenish floral. I don't think it smells particularly elegant though. It's very pleasant and something Miss Marple (Agatha Christie's famous heroine) would wear....

    Recently sampled a vintage parfum mini of Ma Griffe. At first it is a blast of greenness and cinnamon, then it becomes more softened and refined, a tad soapy and dryly floral. I like how different...

    A True Classic This is a great classic scent for the truly lady-like - fresh without being too sharp, floral without any sugary sweet overtones, it's like a signature statement for class and...

    Eewww! I hated this one. Of course, with all the hype surrounding it, I just had to get a bottle for my collection. As soon as I sprayed a bit on my wrist, I wanted to gag. It reminds me of a...

    I have rediscovered this beautiful green chypre via the EDP which I am now stockpiling. It is the most well-bred fragrance on me, and despite it now being really inexpensive, it still smells...

    Delightful! I can't add much to the descriptions of this famous scent except to say that. It makes me sad that so many of the great fragrances of the past have been pushed off the shelves in favor...

    Ma Griffe is an pleasant soapy chypre that seems like a younger, more innocent cousin to Ivoire. The most dominant notes are vetiver, galbanum, moss and gardenia (just a hint). Ma Griffe is a...

    Ths deserves a 4 because it's so cheap! Unfortunately, in a way that detracts from its attractiveness because people like to think they're getting something luxurious. It is a fresh green floral,...

    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...

    Ma Griffe truly is one of the great green perfumes. It was perfect on me in my 20's when green, aldehyde and chypre perfumes blended wonderfully with my body chemistry. Times change and it no...
