Spicy citrus and floral accords. It's "weak" for a feminine scent in EdT formulation. A ho-hum run-of-the-mill perfume.

I love the drydown of Coup de Fouet. It is so very Caron: a dark floriental, slightly powdery, mossy and sweet. For the first hour or so it is CLOOOOOV-ey, like biting on whole cloves. I almost washed it off at first because it seemed so overwhelmingly clove. Bellodgia remains my favorite Caron, and carnation, to date, but this is her bossy great auntie.

FOr me this is the fragrance for Christmas/New Year....a truly elegant and complex fragrance that really stays with you all day/night.

My husband doesn't like my other carnation scents but this one is okay with him, which pleases me very much. (I have a lot of perfumes I wear to work when he doesn't have to smell them on me) Coup de Fouet is a wonderful, strong hot and spicy carnation scent. If you like carnations, this one is a knock out, assuming it works with your skin chemistry. Gorgeous.

I love and own Caron "Poivre," and a tester of Coup de Fouet was given to me as Poivre's "alter ego." The heart of the scents -- spicy carnation -- is the same, but the Coup de Fouet is to my nose more feminine (floral), lacking both the spiciness and complexity I like so much in Poivre. It's a very pretty and well-constructed scent, with the classic Caron base. Just not enough to make my "A" list.

This is exactly the type of vintage scent I don't "get". Sort of sour/dry/bitter/musty and nondescript. I can't really pick out notes but I wouldn't oppose to pepper or carnation being in it. This type of vintage scent just isn't wearable for me, it will never become a skin scent, never comfortable, just stay sharp and strange and offputting forever. "Sophisticated" maybe, as in "my perfume smells like Perfume and not like anything pleasant because that would be cheap".
