I was trying to figure out how to describe this one on my skin and really scratching my head over it, as it is VERY unique, VERY chypre, and yes, a bit dated (but oh, in such a good way!!)....

Oh my goodness. After an initial deeply awkward series of top notes that smell like your general dusty-old-ambery-florabl, my vintage PDT explodes into a to-die-for clove/carnation/cardamomy...

I received a vintage bottle of the pdt (same as edp) in a swap. I thought, going by the notes listed on Fragrantica, that it would be love at first spray. Unfortunately for me, it was a disaster...

I had the pleasure of trying the vintage fragrance from an aunt of mine. A bottle she kept boxed for many years and barely used--lucky me. I am not much of a Balenciaga fan when it comes to their...

RIS, and wanted to love it---after the first few minutes I smelled something VERY heavy and loud and musty-old, --then something like a perm (for your hair) so I nixed it as anything for me. Then,...

I've found myself thinking of Quadrille and Prelude in a pair, and loving them both mightily. Le Dix is not like her sisters. Doing a compare/contrast, they're both based on a rich, dry, peru...

This is a complex and very grownup scent. The one element I notice after the drydown is a very slight muskiness. I looked up a description of the scent and there is indeed musk in the basenotes. ...

And so it began-- I ventured into the vintage pure parfum category and now I am afraid I may never look back. They simply do not make them like this anymore. This is so well blended, so perfect,...

Lovely. I bought a vintage parfum strength and gave it a test drive today. Smooth and so well blended. Very grown up ... there is a softness like suede, but a spiciness as well. I see the...

My HG fragrance. I've loved it for years, and I also feel elegant and sophisticated when I wear it.

Hard to find but often not too expensive when you do. It's a chypre, like most Balenciagas. I don't like it much. It's too dry, and smells like a men's fragrance to me. Maybe I just don't "get"...

A quadrille is a very intricate dance performed by four couples and composed of five parts. Very impressive. I'm sadly lacking in the sort of coordination it would require...I'm quite sure I'd...

Quadrille is a spicy leathery chypre reminiscent of the 1960s. An impression of cinnamon and light violets on top of leather and soft woods. A complex fragrance for all seasons. If you like...
