Tried this one yesterday, and its a women's fragrance I actually like. Doesn't smell to "old" like many other praised women's fragrances smell. My wife loved it too, so I think this one is a winner.

I owned this in the US in the late nineties, and recently got one of the last available mall bottles of the Givenchy Mythiques re-issue. I know that tastes change, memories too- but have they reformulated this, as well as changing the bottle (which was a perfect complement)? The initial hit seems so much harsher, the mids sweeter, and slightly more chemical than I remember. It could also just be the time and place....

Ouch-that's a big sock in the sharp floral/disinfectant part of my nose. If Pine-Sol came in "FLOWER" this would be it. I scrubbed the microscopic swipe of it off my arms, and then took a disinfectant wipe from my desk supply and gave that a go. The wipe was nicer (seriously.)

Very 1980s kapam, overall.

Just tried this today and found my new summer scent. Lovely green and dewy muguet scent. This is all but gone me after an hour though--too bad.
my only wish for this scent was to make just a little sexier and have that jasmin more noticeable. oh well, it is an "eau" after all. thumbs up from me

I sense Ylang Ylang behind the muguet epiphany. this one is a fresh green frags that suitable for both men and women. EdG also gives opportunity to layering with woody and incense hits. Feel free to explore the greenest area on earth.

A very pleasant green floral, in my opinion suitable for both sexes. It strikes a fresh-floral note and reveals the green and mossy woods aspects more and more as it dries down. Citrus, fruity, and green notes (with marigolds) in top lead off, followed by a floral bouquet of white flowers with honeysuckle, orris, and a light rose, all supported by a base of woods, musk, and moss. This is especially good to wear in fine weather; it matches the sunny mood. Its a pretty optimistic scent, giving one a feeling that everything is going to be just fine: "Everything's coming up roses and daffodils" (well, narcissus...). A very definite thumbs up for this Daniel Molière classic from 1982.
