I used to love this one. I still like it but I'm not in love with it. Its very distinct, not easily mistaken for something else, and for me I always picture a champagne bottle when I smell/use it.

Not the best effort that I have come to expect from the House of Guerlain! I find this a little pedestrian and a little too sweet. I should state the disclaimer that I am not a fan of sweet florals, even though I like Insolence. My sister, on the other hand, IS a fan of flowery scents and she loves this. My advise...get a sample before making a purchase. I have never smelled the original formulation, so maybe I am judging unfairly.

Bubbling, sweet opening, then... very, very average, TOO sweet and stuck-in-the-back-of-your-throat cloying floral - and although it's definitely a Guerlain, it's my least favourite. The scent lasts for ages too, which is unfortunate if you don't like it.

It's just okay. Classic and refined also can be boring and unadventourus. To me its just a "perfrume" smell with nothing special. I gave mine away to someone who liked it better than I did.

I am a fan of Guerlain perfumes. This being said, I am not a fan of Champs-Elysees. Although it starts beautifully, it does have in the end one ingredient that keeps bothering me. It feels like it is there all the time and I cannot get rid of it. It may work on somebody with a different body chemistry than mine.

When i tried it several months ago what impressed me most, was it's staying power (edp). At 12th hour it was still completely on my wrist. At 24 hour it was slightly but barely there. At 36th hour there was still a undefinable smell on my wrist. I haven't experienced something like this before. This means a good chemistry between us. So i have taken this as a sign and bought one as soon as possible. For the last months it was my favorite.

I agree with the scent's characteristics. Really joyfull and sunny. It is also extraordinary with the two uncommon main characters almond and mimosa blossoms. The strong silage of those almond blossoms plays a good trick on my mood. It makes me feel like bold cool lady with a thin wrist in tight bodice and a big artsy hat; walking on champs elysse in the early1900's. This really puts me up. sure i will order one more.
