Madame Charrier

Charrier

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Charrier Madame Charrier is a women's fragrance that opens with a fresh blend of bergamot, mandarin orange and aldehydes, moves into a floral heart of jasmine and rose, and sweetens in vanilla and sandalwood. The top notes of bergamot, mandarin orange, rosewood and aldehydes give a citrusy, slightly green and bright start. At the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose lead, with broom alongside them. In the base, vanilla, benzoin, sandalwood and patchouli sweeten the scent and settle it into a woody, powdery finish. Voters spread their picks fairly evenly between day and evening: leisure and business are chosen most often, with night out and evening close behind. It is meant for women. Chanel 1932 and Dior Dune have a close profile.

Charrier

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Charrier Orient is a spicy, sweet and resinous oriental fragrance made for women. It opens with pepper, orange, pimento and cinnamon, where the citrus freshness is balanced by warm spice. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose and clove add a floral layer. The base of patchouli, benzoin, opoponax and vanilla settles into a sweet, earthy and smoky foundation. Voters find its longevity strong, though the number of votes is small, so this rests on a limited sample. The scent reads feminine. Honoré Payan Ophélie and Real Time Life in Motion have a close profile.
