About this deal

It's also a scent that is instantly at home in the beauty salon as it would be in the interior of a woman's bedroom. The lasting power is absolutely incredible - today I put on a t-shirt I wore 5 days ago and I still get very clear whiffs of it. In fact, after a few hours I think it smells very similar to Jovan Musk for women (original orange topped amber liquid joy! I wore it out and got lots of negative feedback, with the general consensus from friends and family that I "smell like an old lady".

But, the exact opposite happened: although L'Aimant was very successful, it also succeeded in increasing the demand for Chanel No. I like the elegant old-style bottle, and the fact that it is a PDT is intriguing, as it is a rarity. It smells like really lovely old school rose soap, and lathers up all creamy and full of soapy suds, in a bathroom with a pale pink shell sink, gold taps and fluffy pink bath mats. After the top notes have gone, it settles down to a cosy, powdery clean scent, very similar to the dry down of Chanel No5 Eau Premiere.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Get ready for exciting updates on our latest offers, product launches, and exclusive beauty content. The first thing I noticed was that the cream had no hint of the delicate pink I was expecting (the original was creamy powder pink). For example, some top note citrus scents smell stronger immediately upon application, while a lavender middle note may be sensed after some time from application as the top note evaporates. The soapy character in L'Aimant is additionally stronger, going toe-to-toe with the musk, and hints of something spicy.

To tie the fragrance together, you’ll also be able to detect rich floral heart notes of rose, geranium, jasmine, ylang-ylang and orchid. Cuir de Lancome does this as well: in the air it smells very different than it does sniffed close to the arm I’ve put it on. I should have made this point on my Emeraude review, but failed to do so – both of these fragrances become more noticeably powdery when sprayed from a decant bottle. VINTAGE l'aimant - warm, sweet, pink roses, summer flowers wafting on an evening breeze, pink swansdown, deliciously feminine, and dangerously innocent!

The first time I wore her I was dolled up as Marilyn Monroe and a friend of my mother suggested I look for this fragrance so I went to a rummage sale in Palm Beach Gardens my neighborhood in Florida.

The Chanel has more depth as you might expect, but L'Aimant is a fantastic little budget alternative. Then, out of nowhere, it takes a turn and loses all traces of flowers and soap and cleanliness and takes on a heavy warmth, and a spiciness, with a hint of powdery sweetness like the well-baked edges of a pie crust. And here we all are to hear who it was - if that old bat Madam Coty still has it in her to figure out the murderess in our whodunnit - for surely it was a female, poison after all is the woman's weapon. The great Coty vintage L'Aimant (1927) (The Magnet) was sold with the tagline "The most attractive perfume in the world. I've never received compliments on it or anything, but then in my circles, I am known for wearing all different kinds of perfumes.

I know that it had tremendous staying power because I could still smell it on my dress the next morning (and that was after dancing all night).

It smells sweet and rather delicious, in the manner of L’Heure Bleue, which in turn was emulating Coty’s own L’Origan (more on that relationship soon, I hope): not entirely gourmand, but both floral and edible at the same time. Product Description Francois Coty first created L'Aimant Parfum de Toilette in 1927 for the love of his life, putting all his love, romance and affection into this fragrance, no wonder it was such a success and sparked the start of the largest fragrance company in the world. It is a very lovely scent: smooth, powdery, elegant, with just the right amount of fruit (I do detest fruity scents BUT I do adore fruity notes in many scents if well balanced and not overdosed) and with an excellent lasting power.I don't actually think she smells like Chanel No 5 in detail, but there is a definate connection in TYPE. It has a sweet peach note keeping this thing fruity and sweet, fresh, suited to summer time and day wear.
