“Ladies and Gentlemen The show is starting…
A cheerful buzz, burns of laughter, ladies in stunning evening gowns whose chypre perfumes are blended with gentlemen’s tobacco, ready to enjoy the show from their table in the front row. No matter what is their social status.
The enjoyment of the pleasure, a genuine “joie de vivre” that towards the end of the nineteenth century, following a wave of optimism, regenerating the great European capitals.
Even ladies, regularly attending the Cafes had fun by imitating the gestures and clothing of those women who drove so crazy their men… the “Sciantose”. A full-Italian folk, which flavour delivers pleasure to everyone. Unconventional ingredients such as black cherry, laurel and anise make the scene at the curtains opening. Fragrance heart’s flowers as heliotrope, altea and iris reproduce in surprisingly realistic way the smoky-powdery atmosphere in the cafès tying with benjoin, patchouly, vanilla and the final musk” — press release of the brand. Cafè Chantant Exceptional Edition was launched in 2015.

Being a fan of Café Chantant, I decided I should splash out and buy the Exceptional Edition. I was hoping it would be a deeper, longer lasting version. Deeper, yes. The baked cherry effect is more prevalent. But it isn’t longer lasting at all. In fact, quite the contrary. It doesn’t last anywhere near as long as the original Café Chantant. So I find myself having to use more of it just to get it to last a bit. And it doesn’t have all the wonderful nuances of the original, either. How disappointing! Now don’t get me wrong, it’s certainly not something to throw out. It is still lovely. But at twice the price, I had expected much, much more. Perhaps it will have a better effect in cold weather, and if so, I shall come back and edit my review. But for now (August, during a heat wave), it’s just not what I had expected.
