Yes, they are the same sizes. I'm going to look at the site right now to see if they're really the real thing, in other words, read the fine print. Will report back.

Okay, decided I can't wait, will take the plunge. There is no "fine print," at least none I could discern, so I am about to make a purchase at classyperfumes.com (despite the unclassy name).

I adore Fracas by Piquet---Ummm....I can smell it now!!<BR><BR>Also love Amirage by Givenchy

Topsy

To the Top!

Annick Goutal has a wonderful line of perfumes. I know they can be purchased at Nordstroms and Bloomingdales in the US. And she has at least two boutiques in Paris which are likewise lovely. One is on the Place de Saint Sulpice.

o.k

Climat by Lancome is beautiful

tracy

My all time favorite is Rive Gauche by YSL.

Emily

Shalimar by Guerlain

Annick Goutal's Hadrian is wonderful for summer, but like all citrus perfumes, the fragrance disappears in 5 minutes. I spray it on my pillow. <BR>Joy is my favorite winter perfume. It's the next best thing to being wrapped in sable. Caron makes something interesting called Narcisse Noir that was the first French perfume I wore. If you are in Paris, Caron has a beautiful jewel box of a shop on Ave. Montaigne that carries their old fragrances.

besides all the "Cote Sud" fragrances, I like "vetiver" by Guerlain for men. I discovered this at lunch with a girlfriend of mine who is a Provencal. She smelled so clean and the fragrance didn't interfere with the food!

Marcia

Bal a Versailles by Jean Desprez.

Andi

I love Gloria and Lou Lou both by Cacherel (for women)- I've only seen this line in France. Please post a reply if you've seen this line in the US. Thanks!

No matter which fragrance any man prefers on his lady has no relevance whatsoever to whether it will produce the same effect for you. Every Frenchwoman knows that best is to select a fragrance for themselves, one they adore and would feel positively remiss without. And, they know that appealing to men is a huge combination of appeal in many more ways than their "scent".

I like this!<BR>Chanel No.5 is my all-time favourite.<BR>If you go to London, try "Joseph". Expensive, but mmmm! Can you get it in the States? I'm sure it's not sold on mainland Europe.

My favorite is "Mure et Musc" from L'Artisans Parfumeur. Don't know if they sell it in the U.S.A. It's light, fresh and its unisex.. much better (imho) on the olfactory senses than those cloying unisex fragrances from Calvin Klein. My boyfriend uses it too (he doesn't admit it but I can smell it!!!)

Dolores

this is for Christina.<BR><BR>You answered my note on the 6th. Sorry to take so long to get back to this board. I think I knew deep down that Opium is French<BR><BR>And fie on the House of Guerlain for not making Ode anymore! It was such a lovely fragrance.....rrrrazafrats!

lynn brown

Chanteclaire's Frangipane. Can't find it in Canada anymore.

Doloras, I loved "ODE" by Guerlain but it was discintinued. I went to the paris shop hoping they had some left overs at the time but no luck. Years later reading an old James Bond book, I read his love wore "ode"<BR>

Julie

For the last year, my favorite has been<BR>Noa by Cacherel. Unfortunately, I can<BR>not get it locally anymore (small Florida town). So I am looking for a<BR>new scent. I do like Coco...but a bit<BR>heavy for office wear (at least around<BR>the sensitive)

Its a secret
