Princess Grace / Grace de Monaco

Fabergé · 1998

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Fabergé Princess Grace / Grace de Monaco is a women's fragrance that moves from a fresh, citrusy opening into a powdery, sweet floral; it has been discontinued. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters link it mostly to spring and summer, then autumn; it leans towards night-out and evening wear, though daytime and office also get votes. More than half of voters call it feminine, and some find it classic. In the top, mandarin orange, orange blossom, ylang-ylang and pot marigold give a bright, lightly fruity start. Jasmine, tuberose and May rose take over in the heart, where the floral side becomes clear. In the base, sandalwood, iris, vanilla and tonka bean settle it onto a powdery, woody, sweet footing.

Eau de Toilette

Fabergé Cavale Eau de Toilette is a discontinued chypre for women that anchors bright citrus with green notes and oakmoss. It opens with lemon vervain, citrus fruits, green notes and vetiver, sharp and fresh at first. In the heart, herbs and patchouli pull the green toward the earth, and the base of oakmoss and leather dries down woody and leathery. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily wear, leisure and business come up most often. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine, though many call it classic. Guy Laroche Eau Folle and Guerlain Coriolan have a close profile.

Babe (Cologne)

Fabergé · 1976

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Fabergé Babe (Cologne) is a fresh, powdery feminine scent that moves from a bright opening of bergamot, raspberry and aldehydes through jasmine, rose and iris to vetiver and sandalwood; it has been discontinued. The opening pairs bergamot, raspberry, aldehydes and hyacinth, so citrus and fruit bring coolness while a green edge keeps it lively. In the heart, jasmine, lily of the valley, rose, iris, honey and carnation build a floral garden feel, with the honey adding a soft sweetness. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, musk, tree moss and amber settles into a woody, powdery chypre floor, and a slightly synthetic sheen shows through here and there. Its profile is close to Mülhens Janine D. (Eau de Toilette) and MCM Blue Paradise.
