Maxim's De Paris by Maxims, 1984

This is a delightfully full lipped aldehydic floral , and it is every bit as enchanting as its male counterpart. The denseness of the notes ensures a very deep, rich, floral experience that feels very luxurious. Despite the undeniable quality and classic feel, there is something very playful about MDP, a faint sweetness that pervades the whole experience and ensures an extra layer of intrigue and interest. It is a great shame that the Maxims concept never took off, the fragrances were absolutely first rate.

Chanel No. 5? I don't get the connection there at all -- not at all.

No, I find this to be a half-sibling of Paloma Picasso, only with more patchouli.

Loud, wonderful, earthy Eighties power frag. Closely related, too, to its male counterpart frag.

I didn't like this. I thought it was boring & forgetable. A powdery Chanel No.5 wannabe with non of the sass & class. The packaging is nice though.
