Pros & Cons
- ✅ Most find it a joyous, sophisticated floral that screams springtime in Paris.
- ✅ Cheerful and mood-lifting scent, lovely, powdery mimosa scent, yellow, sparkling scent.
- ✅ Pure French opulence in a bottle. It opens with a sweet, honeyed melon, cut through with a light, tart blackcurrant note.
- ✅ This is spring in a bottle! A divine creation by Jacques and Jean-Paul Guerlain.
- ❌ a vocal minority can't stand the powdery mimosa, some even detecting an odd cat-piss note.
- ❌ The newer batches are a pale imitation compared to the older bottles.
- ❌ Today’s version smells nothing like it. No depth anymore.
