Chantilly FOR WOMEN by Dana - 104 ml EDT Spray

Product Information

The notes in this perfume start off with a hint of apricot, water lily, and apple. It’s such a soft, sweet fragrance that leaves behind a sweet aroma. This perfume includes heart notes of chocolate, guava, and tuberose. Then, it finishes with hints of vanilla and amber. Vera Wang Princess hasn’t been around as long as some of the other perfumes on this list, but it’s slowly making its mark as a timeless perfume. Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds If you would like a more contemporary interpretation of Chantilly I would suggest Coastal Carolina Victorian Vanilla something else I have in my collection. I was smelling it this morning and it really gave me those same vibes but it is more of the "now", if you know what I mean.

As others have pointed out, the affordable Chantilly is several classics rolled into one without coming across as cheap or derivative. It opens with a heavy dose of aldehydes and lemon balanced with a sweet, spicy vanilla musk. The development on my skin, however, is disjointed as the aldehydes remain jagged and piercing next to the sweet oriental base. The lemon curdles the cloying cream as the composition falls apart. these terms and conditions in full.

In the beginning, the fragrance seems sweet, even overly sweet, despite the citrus - but the white spicy heart shines though sweetness, feeling rather solemn and majestic. It feels sublime and exalted, not earthly - like a bride at a wedding, or a ballet performance. With the smell of purity, powder, and the dust of a velvet theater curtain. This perfume is basically like a less expensive dupe of a Classic Guerlain like Shalimar or Mitsouko, although I would say it actually reminds me of Mitsouko a bit more.

The Chantilly composition I was able to meet (Essence de Chantilly, Parfum de Toilette, late 1960s - early 1970s, "watch-type" bottle below) can be described based on the citrus-amber standard of Emeraude-Shalimar, in which the fluffy vanilla and resinous oriental parts were reduced. Marcel MIllot is credited with making this perfume, which is part of the "lot to talk about" I mentioned at the beginning. He is a virtual unknown to the world of perfumery, despite having been a key collaborator on several important perfumes of the era, like Amour Amour by Jean Patou (1925), which is credited solely to Henri Alméras. Millot also bares no relation to the house of F MIllot founded by Felix Millot and famously perfumed for by Jean Desprez for a time. Marcel Millot in an article written in 1966 for American Perfumer and Cosmetics, talks about his involvement with Chantilly being a collaborative one as well, implying most perfumes made in the labs he worked during that period were typically not purely solo efforts. In any case, whoever the unknown co-contributors to Chantilly are, they helped give Millot his sole perfume credit. As for the fragrance itself, Chantilly is fairly typical for the time, being a mash-up of chypre elements and oriental elements, a compromise between Chypre de Coty (1917), Chanel No. 5 (1921), and Guerlain Shalimar (1925) as it were. This kitchen sink of notes opens with aldehydes, because of course it does, and then moves through sweet citruses of orange, lemon, and neroli, before moving to indolic florals. The rose and jasmin bring their virility, which is flanked by a fat carnation note and given a slight soapy edge of orris. The powdery resinous base of benzoin, vanilla, and tonka is boosted by a Mousse de Saxe leather note full of oakmoss and warmed with sandalwood. The leather here isn't butch per se, but it adds a unique punch. In it's original form, Chantilly was very expense, and rather expensive-smelling too, but a softer and more-glowing counterpart to aforementioned women's classics. Wear time and projection vary by vintage, but there isn't a weak formula of this anywhere, just strong and stronger. Best use is probably in colder months. Either way, you're going to smell like a madam, and you know what kind I mean. Instead, the fragrance has been given a powdery whiteness with carnation and spicy eugenol, and the floral bouquet has been increased in size, and complemented with sweet honeyed orange blossom.

As a child, I never understood that we were not “well off” and part of the reason for this was that my grandparents would spend the whole year saving up for Christmas to ensure that the whole family would feel special and cared for. My grandmother spent very little on herself, but she took pride in her appearance by applying makeup to her miraculously wrinkle-free skin and regularly covering her gray hair with dark brown dye from a box. She carried herself with dignity in spite of the polyester dresses and rough southern Italian accent. Chantilly is a classic feminine spray that has a very soft, sensual smell. It has hints of floral and sweet spices that heighten the senses. The aromas are from this fragrance are romantic and perfect for a night out on the town.
