Charming fragrance accompaniment through the decades
To write about Chamade I have longer back and forth thought; I actually think that it needs for this classic no more large or explicitly detailed commentary; this fragrance is its own statement, an institution!
Ageless, it has been nodding charmingly at us for decades with its soft elegance, its fine flair; knowing its charisma. Choosing him consciously and with a little respect, make the wearer ambassadors of the sovereign art of living.
Floral-spicy is in the characterization; with spicy one usually associates a rather strong, dominant fragrance behavior, which I would like to deny at Chamade but as far as the perfume is concerned! For the Eau de Cologne and the Eau de Toilette this may be more true; both I know and especially the Eau de Toilette is a very lively variant of the beautiful fragrance.
With the Eau de Parfum, on the other hand, I could never make friends; strangely enough, each time I had the feeling to have a completely different scent in the nose. It develops on my skin a highly ladylike mix of Sortilège and Narcisse noir and a few cologne variations also resonate. The actual Chamade character is thereby hardly to be recognized.
With "flying flags" I am therefore enthusiastically returned to the Eau de Toilette, before I then bought the perfume after years and with slight skepticism yet. If already the Eau de Parfum is so completely different, how will the perfume do on my skin?
I was surprised in the most pleasant way, because the perfume has seduced me immediately with that fine vanilla Scent, which I already knew from the Eau de Toilette and the dreamily smiling can consider whether one can be taken out in perfect robe for strolling or with open hair and blowing robes the evening sun in the summer on the terrace enjoys...
This quiet, intense Scent, whose ingredients in the Parfum stronger, warmer and softer than the much livelier Eau de Toilette the senses around, is what makes the fragrance a classic.
Vanilla in soft and pleasant concentration; not oppressive and drowning out everything else added. Jasmine, rose, carnation, lily of the valley; all flowers whose beguiling scents also like to push all others aside, are kept in check by a confident bergamot and muted by sandalwood, which has absorbed the flowers and thus mellowed them. The aldehydes are quite noticeable, but not dominant. They are more prominent in the eau de toilette. A fragrance to fall in love, without completely losing control...
For a long time, I feel comfortably wrapped and caressed by Chamade, this fragrance, which was assigned as a matter of course to the feminine world when it appeared.
I am convinced, however, that he will find in one or the other concentration quite with the gentlemen likewise!
Allow me one more explanatory note:
Since I have also had different experiences with the various concentrations of Chamade, I thought I would note them down. Perhaps the / the one or other Leser/in shares my experiences and I would be happy to hear more about it!
I wrote my comment under the Eau de Parfum, because Parfum is not available and my input for this was rejected. Under the Extrait I also could not / did not want to write, because this is unknown to me and I do not want to adorn myself with "foreign feathers".
