Calandrewomen

Have worn this perfume for 50 years. My husband wouldn’t know me without it. He loves the smell that stays in my cashmere sweaters. Have tried many other fragrances but nothing is me but Calandre!

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
