Calandrewomen Eau De Toilette

I wore Calandre in 1974 while living in Paris. It was a time when fashion was influenced by wonderful menswear ease and tailoring. I don't know whether it is true, that this fragrance started out as a mens' cologne-- but I certainly recall the clean, grassy top notes with a very slight hint of what parfumers use to call "tobacco" bottom notes; yet it was intensely feminine and unusual. I thought I might try this fragrance again, after all these years, and was very disappointed. I can detect the "herbal tones" clearly, and unfortunately it is a little medicinal when first sprayed; it will soften down, however. I understand that I am not alone in remembering a fragrance differently, but this was way off the mark. C'est la vie!

Love the light scent of Calendre! Have been wearing it for quite a few years. People (usually men) stop and ask me what I'm wearing.

People always stop me and ask what perfume I'm wearing when ever I have Calandre. It is my favorite scent! Nancy

Absolutely love my Calandre by Paco Rabanne. I used to buy it duty free years ago and am so happy to have found it again. Thanks FragranceNet.
