Several of the girls in my high school wore this one, and I always enjoyed getting an occasional whiff of it in the classrooms and hallways and at the basketball and football games. I’m sure the formula has been changed in the intervening years, and it’s either the fragrance or my memory that has lost some of the sparkle. Chantilly is essentially an amber fragrance and the amber that is used now does not seem to be as full and attractive as it was fifty years ago; however, it is still a charming, pleasant, bright little fragrance that is so much better than its unbelievably low price would indicate.

Of all the store bought perfumes, this is one of my favorites that my mom wears. Why can't she use just this, instead of those stinkies Tabu and Emeraude? Or worse, that chemical waste, patchouli oil. Chantilly is soft, powdery and feminine. It's a comforting scent that's light. I would even use it.

This was my grandma's signature scent! Even as a small child, I have a distinct memory of her smell. The spicy floral sweetness of Chantilly is delicate, and intricate - just like chantilly lace. Suprisingly well blended, and possesses a distinct amber base! My favorite product in this fragrance line is the after bath dusting powder. Using it is like traveling back in time to the 1940's! So glad it's never been discontinued.

A happy fizzy scent--easy to find. We got a gift set last year with the body lotion and my daughter loved it.

My grandmother wore this fragrance. It reminds me of her. After she passed, I craved it for myself. I have the dusting powder. Wearing it makes me feel like I am lost in a soft, warm hug. It layers beautifully with everything in my wardrobe. I never want to be without it.

One of my favorite fragrances. Thank goodness there are still plenty of vintage bottles left, if one searches, nothing is quite like the original extrait
