This is one of my favorite perfumes, one of my “signature scents”. A unique luxurious floral with heady intoxicating orange blossom, cistus, honey, mimosa, carnation, drying down to slightly ambery- sandalwood like beeswax. It is a floral that can be warn any time of the year. I have never been to France, but I imagine when I smell it that I am in Grasse in the summer time, walking amongst fields of flowers. It also layers well with tubereuse.

When I smell Parfum De Grasse, it immediately brings me to a classic era. I am a classic movie buff, and it strikes me as a scent I would have smelled in an earlier era. I like to buy antique perfume bottles, and occasionally I will open one that has a lingering scent that is still quite nice. You can distinguish that the scent is not from this time. To me, this scent is similar. After dry down, I am left with a scent that smells like the smell of warmed mimosa soft like a non-overbearing scented powder.

There is a little bit of a crisp sharpness in the opening of this scent that mellows beautifully into something I can’t stop sniffing. It’s sunny and bright, yet gentle and pink.
There is something that is both unusual, and yet, familiar, with this scent. It’s classic with a contemporary hint – definitely on the list to recommend to someone.

A masterpiece of floral lyricism–naturally bedded, transportive in its seasonal spring freshness (I can almost smell the dew on the petals), so sweet, yet without a single cloying or acrid, ‘dusty’ note.

I’ve been to a beautiful place outdoors. Fields of grasses and flowers. I spent the day in this place. I walked, touched and brushed against everything growing, I sat under a tree in the shade, next to some moss and took a nap somewhere along the way in one of the fields. That’s odd because I really don’t do that kind of thing – nap in a field.
Apparently, leaves and flowers, pollen, bees and a gentle wind collected all the scents together on me.
After I tried the sample, I didn’t write any notes down in my sample “notebook” – I placed an order.
Recommend to get the Vdp, you are going to want to spray it head to toe.

When I wear Parfum de Grasse, I feel I can smell sunshine and soil, dewy moss, beeswax and a warm spring breeze carrying with it a remarkable melody of jasmine, rose, carnation, everything blooming and green and alive. There’s a resinous thing in the base that reminds me just a little of Parfum d’Hermes. It’s as if I was a young girl sitting on the log bridge we kids had built across the brook at the bottom of my grandparent’s meadow in May. Gorgeous. (I have the parfum version)

Received my vial as a free sample and was pleasantly surprised. Truly a masterpiece, with perfect balance between floral and mossy, an exquisite chypre in the classic school. In the same vein as Rochas Femme but not as strong and not quite as animalic. A perfume for every occasion. Thank you Dawn!

This is so lovely. There are many days where I wake up in the morning and put this on straight away! For me it’s very fresh and calming. I do like neroli and I smell a lot of that here and as it dries down a bit of powder and carnation. They staying power is lacking but since it’s all natural that makes sense. Plus, this way after enjoying it all morning, I can switch to something else later on:) I’ve almost used up my little bottle.
