   |  Visiting France in 2005, I stopped in a perfume shop and caught this scent fitting just my mood. To me, its iconic, sophisticated, & of a past era. Just perfect when a special exotic scent fits the mood. I happen to love the jasmine & amber notes, but it is a scent for those more dramatic women with a firm perspective on life.05 August 2009 |
  |  I received a decant in a swap, and I've been trying to get acquainted with it because I love jasmine, but I'll admit defeat with this one. It's too overwhelming. I feel self conscious wearing it. It seems like there are good quality ingredients in it, it's just that this composition is too strong, too thick and heavy, too depressing for my taste. It's unbearable - it wears me, I don't wear it. This is one you would not want to take a road trip in. I get the off putting sour note that Vibert noted throughout, as well as the sassafrass-type note that Purplebird mentioned. It's interesting for its antiquity and its place in perfume history, I suppose, but I don't find it at all wearable.22 April 2009 |

| This is warm, elegant, classic and very wonderful! One to wear when I want to feel sophisticated and confident. I love it! 24 February 2009 |
  | 19th century in a bottle, heady but not too heavy - but beware, use only a small amount. It's my favourite Creed scent currently but perhaps only because it is so unlike the more wearable others. Note: no one ever comments on it even though I can tell they notice it (it is impossible to not notice, even with one spray). I wear it only for myself, I know others don't know what to make of it. It is hard to know how to match it with clothing - it is entirely a 19th century scent. It's a bit like Christmas fruit cake - it is good but only in small doses, only once in a while, and it is not something people rave on about. 21 December 2008 |
 | Heavy, gloomy and dusty as classical furniture from an old palace which now resting behind red lines in a museum. You would not like to sit on them. But you can pay to see them. After half an hour you get out of the museum and meet the old familiar jasmine vanilla buddies. i can imagine how marvelous it has been after all these heavy Arabic oils. think; we are talking about a time that electric bulb was not invented and people were sitting under real candle chandeliers. Eugenie should be avant-garde to use such a modern and extraordinary scent. I think all these and leave the museum area; walk into the city to the real life... Do i advice to visit this museum? No, no need to... 13 July 2008 |
  | Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie opens with a rich jasmine and white rose accord, joined after a few minutes by a soft wood (sandalwood?) note and a very brightly rendered amber. The resulting heart accord is at once sweet, luxurious, and sprightly. The jasmine takes a back seat during the drydown, leaving a rather sultry amber and wood base exposed. The prominent amber note makes this a surprisingly sexy fragrance for something of this vintage! I did notice that the amber drydown includes an odd, sour not that I cannot place. Off-putting, frankly, but I suppose it keeps the accord from being too sweet and conventional. OK overall, but it's never going to knock my socks off. 12 March 2008 |
