Description
Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy is described as a floral edition interpreted in couture spirit with emblematic aristocratic values of the house of Givenchy. It is placed between the traditional and the modern, and it is ideal for young, contemporary women.
The minimalistic flacon with discrete curves is crowned with a cylindrical golden metal stopper. It captures a composition created of tangerine, Italian winter lemon, shiso (Japanese basil), rose, ylang ylang, musk, ambrette seed and tonka. The fragrance was created by Francois Demachy, who described it as ‘an imaginary rose in dewy morning’. The perfume is available as 50 and 100ml EDT.
Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy was launched in 2010.

This is for the Lady Bosses.
It has an Elegant, Classy and Expensive vibe.
I would try and get my hands on the orange version next.

I never expected to love this perfume as much as I do. In fact, I was relatively underwhelmed by the first sample I had. And then I went through a second one..and a third. I found that I was starting to not only crave the scent but it was perfect for just about any situation. I’ve now not only bought a full bottle but I bought a bigger bottle as a back up!
At its heart Eaudemoiselle is all about fresh classy roses with a supporting cast of ylang and musk to keep it from ever being sharp or overpowering. The basil adds a slight touch of spiciness similar to a hint of patchouli (but nicer, in my opinion).
Eaudemoiselle is classy, elegant and timeless without being outdated or stuffy. It’s easy to wear and every time I do I feel so ladylike and put-together.

This is the daughter of Amarige. I get a bit of that same sunny spiciness in the heart, but this is light, thin, clean, inoffensive and unassuming. I could see this being a good first perfume. It’s a good fragrance for a girl with classic taste (the mature, bookish girl who excels in ballet class type …), but I couldn’t see anyone over 22 wearing this anywhere but to the gym or running errands. Safe gift for a sweet 16.
ruitispress – :
This is a light, fresh feminine floral. Starts very sharp, then smoothes out. lots of flowers but so well blended that after the first blast of green rose and citrus smoothes out & the flowers are indistinguishable. Has a vintage feel to it too, nothing sweet about it which is perfect for me. It smells classy, elegant & expensive
nachalnik – :
A Very different offering from Givenchy! I love Givenchy because I find they typically put out very bold, intense, dark tempered, fragrances. This one is fresh, clean, bright and classy. If I had smelled it blindly I’d have NEVER guessed the house to be Givenchy. It does smell “expensive” to me, you can sense the quality easily. It lasts well for a EDT. It almost has a aldehyde undertone but looking at the notes I’m guessing that impression must be coming from a super clean musk note because no aldehydes appear to be used.
It kinda reminds me of how it would smell to be sitting in a beautiful garden composed of both flowers and herbs while folding clothes fresh out of the dryer. lol Clean laundry, florals and herbs… in a good way though. I probably wouldn’t have bought it myself (it was a gift from a friend who knows I love Givenchy) because it simply isn’t my typical “type.” However, I’ve actually reached for it more than I thought I would have. It’s nice.
xsf667Bessinepome – :
It is a guaranteed “smile on your face” kind of scent. Rich and sophisticated. Totally worth the cost. Became my signature perfume ever since I have applied. 🙂
Ahriman – :
There is something timeless about this fragrance. It’s soft and clean. It’s not really a fruity or a floral or an herbal. It sits somewhere in the middle of all of it. It’s quite classic in its balanced presentation.
This is one I like, but I probably won’t repurchase. It’s so classic that it’s a bit boring. It’s likeable but forgettable.
pavel n72 – :
Strong at first, but after a moment from opening it settles softly on my skin. There is this ‘Givenchy’ vibe about it, definitely. Chic and ‘expensive’ scent, extremely far from being cheap or commonly worn, like somebody sophisticated who knows the true meaning of good taste. I would think it is for more mature women, and not for youngster.
sachapex – :
This smells like a good laundry detergent. So it is a nice scent if you like to smell like newly washed sun dryed clothes.
But you could just buy a quality laudry detergent instead. It would be cheaper.
sergey45 – :
The scent: First blast is pure roses for me. Fresh and clean like rosewater. After it settles the ylang ylang projects, deepening the roses. To be honest I am slightly disappointed as I thought this would be a more complex perfume. All I can smell are roses and ylang ylang. Mostly roses. Not the most compelling scent. I do like the vintage feeling it evokes, but for now I don’t want to wear anything too feminine.
The quality: Excellent quality. Cannot complain about its sillage for an EDT. Dabbed a little on my wrist and I could smell it even when I’m walking with my arms down.
Edit: After four hours I could finally detect the basil! What a pleasant surprise! Sadly it doesn’t project and can only be noticed if I put my wrist close to my nose.
HawSwellRaw – :
Eaudemoiselle is a beautiful, modern classic. It’s elegant and well crafted. The musk mallow works well with the citrus and basil in keeping this sweet scent fresh. The longevity is the only let down. It’s sharp for the first minute or so and then calms when the ylang ylang pushes forward. After 3 or 4 hours you are only left with rose and musk. It doesn’t matter to me though. The wonderful vintage feel of this scent for the first three hours makes it worth having. Not to mention the exquisite bottle. I’d like Givenchy to release a EDP concentration of Eaudemoiselle. Lastly, the ad does not suit the fragrance. It is a daytime scent but it’s not at all gothic.
YuStar – :
Very bright & “fresh” smelling. I get something green, clean, classy. After a few seconds, I get the same “rush” I used to get back in college when I would wear White Linen. It has amazing potential to be a masterpiece, so classic, elegant, lady-like. But sadly, it fades quickly leaving just a whisper behind. I think I may eventually splurge on a full bottle of this because the bottle is beautiful and I think I will always crave this scent. One of those fragrances you spray on and feel confidant, sexy, and womanly.
Sniff – :
it smells good but it bores me to death sometimes
EDIT : I love wearing it when i’m sick or anxious it helps calm me down and relax i also love spraying it on my pillows to help me sleep.. the scent is very soothing.
avasil – :
Just came in the mail today. I love it! Light and airy but lasting. Perfect for spring. Yay!!!
diuverbu – :
That day was a day of confidence, of being self-assured and highly overflowing with contentment, so nothing better than to elect Eaudemoiselle Givenchy to represent me. Its creamy flowers that jiggle around in contact with skin seem so vivid that the desire to live in us is instigated. I love your Rose accentuated with touches of Ylang Ylang and more Tangerine juice; it comes from a citrus balanced so that no reprimand in any way, even if used in the scorching heat, and that’s good! Like your order musk with sweet of Tonka and more roses and roses, this combination make it one of floral best I’ve ever had the opportunity to experience, so much so that I met in the shoes of a lady in a Lojas Americanas of my city, which exuded everywhere … I could not resist, praised asked, I wrote down and got!
Word of the day: balance… (day 03)
wiktor1970 – :
Is a beloved perfume for me,even if I don’t choose it so often to wear.
If you find Givenchy creations heavy or bold or classic,this one is surprisingly modern and fresh.
Yes is feminine,yes is well done,yes is long lasting and changing all the time.
Rose,tangerine and basil are the first “kicks” and stay there till the end.The dry down is the best part for me,but I can’t describe which notes are responsible for.
The overall feeling from this beauty is something nostalgic,intensively nostalgic, with the bittersweet meaning of the word.
Attention!Don’t overspray,it will be terribly bitter and harsh and you gonna ruin the phases this perfume goes through.
shadow0015 – :
This is a very pleasant well crafted perfume. On the opening the tangerine is definitely dominant. Then it settles down and the florals start to show. It becomes very much like Elizabeth Arden Splendor right down to the bottle design.
This is an okay perfume but not something that I would purchase. I won this bottle in a raffle. I’ve reached a point in my life where I am over the fruity florals and prefer something more sophisticated. I think this would be fine for a young woman in her late teens or early twenties.
len-art – :
Feminine,Fresh,Fabulous
kkyudyfs – :
This has a very fresh, lovely opening that mixes with the floral middle notes for hours. Top notes don’t always last super long, but in here they have a strong 5 hour life. Very late into the fragrance I get an ambrette seed musk mixed with roses and ylang ylang. It isn’t very sweet, and ambrette smells almost ambergris-y.
I can tell this was made with quality, and I like the composition as it’s a floral that is neither too heady for me or too boring.
ikf157JeomiWogkig – :
A real surprise as I had never heard of this fragrance when I was given some.
It is indeed a lovely classy fragrance with good longevity:It seems to have a perfect balance of notes.
A favourite of mine now!
Mr.Viper.ru – :
Love ,love ,love.
This little gem ,of unusual high quality for our days can develop into the most elegant and expensive scent.
It will last for days and weeks if one can detect the right fabrics to spray it on from a distance(not spot on).
Some wind jackets fabrics are v good keepers and developers of perfumes from my experience. Hair also.
I am using it even under my ears and arms or on the decollete’. Anyway ,no pulse points.
Thank you Givenchy for this very french class creation and Pleeeease don’t “improve” it .
ural1975 – :
Eaudemoiselle é um dos melhores florais da atualidade.
Floral sério, limpo e atalcado, saída forte predominante em limão e almíscar. Após 1h evolui, mantendo forte o almíscar, mas ressaltando as rosas e o ylang ylang que o torna atalcado, c/ fundo discreto do manjericão.
Fixa bem, exala bastante, principalmente nas primeiras 3h de uso, depois fica mais confortável.
Não se engane pela composição simples, poucas notas, porque são bem equilibradas e o tornam muito chique. Perfume p/ ser usado em qualquer ocasião, desde reunião de trabalho a encontro romântico, sem fazer feio, mas não em qualquer temperatura, pois não combina c/ o calor.
Me remete à personagem de Nicole Kidman (Shanon) no filme Um Sonho Distante, uma dama, chique, destemida, forte e determinada.
anuska1986 – :
Gorgeous. Rose, mellowed and sweetened with a very smooth (not sharp) tangerine note. Definitely very feminine and good for spring/summer. Fades pretty quickly though, into an indistinguishable drydown. But, worth it for how absolutely heavenly it smells when you first put it on. Beautiful! The quasi-goth photos above from the ad campaign make me laugh though, particularly because there’s nothing remotely dark about this one. All sweetness and light. Great for a daytime office scent, nothing to offend, and that slight mood lifting effect that citrus can have if it’s done correctly. Hurrah! Bottle is underwhelming though, looks kinda masculine and doesn’t convey how beautiful this frag is. Scent: A Packaging: D Longevity: C
Cawelelay – :
One of the the most elegant, divine fragrances I’ve ever had! Light, fresh, dreamy! Reminds me the feeling of falling in love. ☺️
Now I want to try the rest of that line.
ZJHoward – :
This scent puts me right in the sunny spring time, fresh sheets blowing in a gentle breeze, birds chirping, all that corny cliche stuff. Very light, feminine, but unique in it’s own amongst the bazillions of fruity floral fragrances. I feel preppy and pretty when I wear this, and I always feel like a rich b*tch when I wear anything by Givenchy.
arci – :
This is not for Basics. (LOL) You must be a confident woman, classy, and sophisticated with an affinity for the finer things in life. Down to earth and likes to have a little fun, but always in good taste. Not at all arrogant, but for the woman who knows exactly what she wants, when she wants, and how to get it. Timeless, Chic, and refined. Wear this with an LBD.
singlemdeuro – :
I am a bit more familiar with the Eaudemoiselle Eau Fraiche but I did manage to get a nice whiff of the original Eaudemoiselle at a profumeria.. Now I can see where Eau Fraiche gets all of it beauty from.. Eaudemoiselle is a very classy sophisticated fresh floral fragrance.. Givenchy did a great job with this scent and the Eau Fraiche.. The original has a classic vibe while still smelling very modern.. I highly recommend this scent to all the women out there!
BroavaLog – :
Another favorite. It’s soft yet polished and has an unpretentious aristocratic air that I just adore. I find their description, “an imaginary rose in dewy morning,” to be rather accurate. There’s also something melancholy about it that I can’t quite put my finger on. I will wear this one for a long time.
Стальной воин – :
Absolutely beautiful spring and summer perfume. I’ve worn this almost every day for a month! Light citrus combined with rose and a hint of basil. Not overly complex or sophisticated, just fresh and clean and reminiscent of a cool spring morning on the Amalfi coast.
illelsRilioro – :
From the first time , i love it so much. Wear it everyday
Vitamin-ua – :
It’s a nice vintage rose, but I wish it lasted longer. I guess that depends from one person to another, because I got it in a trade and the original owner (not a rose lover) thought it was too heavy.
Uzer473 – :
Fresh florals, elegant, and has a cool feeling like a young lady taking a walk in her luxury mansion garden, as their ad represents.
I love Eaudemoiselle since first sniff it from the test paper, I always want the rose dominant without powdery feeling. It smells beautiful and last long on test paper, but sadly, not on my skin.
At first spray it has moderate sillage, but drops to soft level within 2 hours. Overall, I’m a little dissappointed by longevity and sillage, but not too much since the scent is so right.
qatezrly – :
In 2010, the Givenchy House released this fragrance that captures the vintage style and the aristocratic legacy, through a bottle that has lines inspired by the high perfumery, blending the modern and the classic, in addition to bringing a box with black and white photos, framed like the olden times.
The composition combines notes of Italian winter lemon, Mandarin and Shiso (Japanese Basil of green or red colors), just in the output. Then, Turkish rose, ylang-ylang and orange blossom, in the heart. At the base, crystals of musk, ambrette seeds, cedarwood and tonka beans.
This “Water for girl” (literal translation) has a fresh and delicious explosion when it reaches the skin. During the first hours, the sour of the lemon was very noticeable on me. The floral aspect is very yummy and reminds many older scents with nuances of ylang-ylang (known for its aphrodisiac properties). The crystals of musk, along with ambrette seeds – which are also derived from the musk – confer a more vegetable and metallic base, in equilibrium with the creaminess of the tonka bean. The result is basically a perfume of 3 stages: slightly citrus, floral and musky.
The perfumer was Francois Demachy (currently, Dior’s perfumer), who managed to combine elegance and sophistication in a perfume. On my personal olfactory trip, I imagine it would be the ideal perfume to be chosen by the young girl, who wants to be the Homecoming Queen at school, in the movies of cinema. It’s that special moment in which the dress matters, the partner matters even more and the girl doesn’t want to be seen as the young virgin in high school anymore, but as a woman about to enter at the University.
After this creation, more than 5 different versions (flankers) of Eau Demoiselle have already been released. And as a huge fan of Givenchy, I confess I’m curious to meet them.
Finally, it is worth reinforcing that the projection is pretty strong for about three hours, with durability of more than 10 hours on the skin (very present for about 7 hours).

I was looking around Sephora, and a lady at the perfume dept gave me a piece of paper with this perfume sprayed on. After a while, the scent drew me. I asked which perfume is it. She told me this and said it is the 2nd best selling perfume in the country. She told me a lot of college student bought this (I am also a college student). She said most customer who bought this didn’t have make-up on or have very minimum make-up on. I really like the scent and it lasted for 12 hours! I woke up on the next day and the scent is still on my wrist. Really love this. It gives off an innocent feeling (?) I don’t know how to describe but I think most young ladies should love this.
rasimka – :
I am a serious rose junkie, so naturally when I saw Eudemoiselle (which we don’t otherwise find in Indian retail stores) at a discounted price online, I thought “Hmm, I’ve got to give this a try”. It was a blind purchase, so I spray it with anticipation, and Voila, is it love at first spray! The basil-musk-rose notes are definitely something I’ve never come across, and I’m so thrilled to have found it!
I get a musky, sweet rose, tangerines and citruses first, and then this develops into a beautiful basil-vanilla aroma. I do get what people mean by the ‘vintage’ rose here – ever smelled a rose pressed in an old book? This is what Givenchy has captured here.
Lasts for more than 10 hours on me though it becomes fainter towards end. Has a decent sillage – those around me never fail to notice when I wear this. Since Givenchy fragrances are not yet vastly commercialized in India, I’m going to bask in it’s uniqueness.
moclobaltette – :
I totally see what you mean Acid –
This has a vintage vibe to it that I still cant place….I thought it reminded me of a friend of my mums who used to come around alot when I was a kid- during the 80s, but Im sure I can smell Barbies also!
Very chic, vintage and nostalgic.
I think this is rather unique and could actually make you stand out in a crowd. People will feel the need to follow that strangely familiar, sweet scent they keep getting a waft of…wandering what it is, and why it intoxicates them so!
uuueeeeehhh – :
Floral, classy, nostalgic. Simple but original and also extremely beautiful.
The weird part is that this fragrance reminds me of my childhood (90’s)… and Barbies. I’m pretty sure I had Barbies and some other plastic dolls that smelt just like Eaudemoiselle… or very, very similar. I don’t think my brain is fooling me that hard. Now I need to go to a toyshop and check if Barbies still smell like this, or if I’m just being silly.
Healtsjaite – :
This is beautiful & one of Givenchy’s best .
Citrus is not my thing and I rarely try them.
Big loss for me had I not tried this one.
Very sharp beginning, then settles quickly to an elegant floral , that seems to softly float in the air even with minimal spraying.
Longevity is great .
Classy scent that can be worn anytime IMO.
Alex73 – :
Beautiful, classic floral fragrance which makes me feel very special when wearing it. I love it!
psymusik – :
This perfume is sharply floral. I think it’s ylang-ylang, which makes it weird. I don’t think there’s a similarity to the eau fraiche version of this perfume, because eau fraiche was rather nice.
There are good flankers of this perfume, but this one is not the one for me. It’s too musky and weird kind of floral, because I don’t think this is how rose smells.
I keep on looking better perfumes from this line.
Den.Za – :
Very delicate and lovely – a favorite! 🙂
medvejonok_tmn – :
This little beauty surprised me. I quickly sniffed it, expecting an esoteric fragrance. Then, the citrus gave way to a delicate rose aroma. And then the sweet musk and florals hit.
I absolutely love this gem. It is very understated but there is no doubt–it is a sexy combination that gets the job done.
ApothDeu – :
I found this scent really boring, kind of sharp, and short lived. Absolutely not my cup of tea.
I must say- the current givenchy fragrances don’t hold a candle to their classic scents.
jewkosher – :
Non American not in your face perfume. Subtly sexy,not trashy. A very fine composition..
unicargo2 – :
A battle between Rose and Ylang Ylang on my skin. Its a delicate sweet battle in which Rose wins. And just when I thought ylang ylang has given up, the musk becomes relentless. This smells vintage…like they don’t make stuff like this anymore. And I love it. Does it have a hairspray? It would be divine. You will make a statement with it. Oui Madmoiselle!!! Very French. Very Chic. I’m yet to perceive another floral perf like it. Nicely done Givenchy.
ruzden – :
This is French chic in a bottle. Elegant, tamed and the prominent basilicum topnote makes it a bit tart – I imagine young Francoise Sagan to wear this. A fragrance that could have been quite popular around 1965 in Paris.
LifeInColour – :
It just doesn’t last at all on me – less than fifteen minutes and it it completely gone.
Such a pity – while it is there, it is very nice.
v69 – :
A few years ago, I saw this pretty bottle with the shiny cap and bought it blind. It is a non-offensive rose scent I cannot stop smelling my arm, I love the rose in this. The first spray is a big acidic lemon that is very uncomfortable for me but after a time I smell the rose coming through but it is very soft here then it dries down to a sweet powdery musk. It is a citrusy rose scent. The sillage is very soft here I believe but it lasts for hours! This scent is not quite what I am looking for so I will not purchase this again.
Dimi3 – :
The bottle looks very vintage and clean and it is made of sturdy glass ( yes, I dropped it a few times, it’s still in one piece ). No complicated shapes, no flowers and hugs and kisses and chirping birds.
The soft-sweet-sour scent of rose water enriched with lemon and basil can be a go to on sunny summer days and on colder spring days. As it is an EDT, you can spray it on lavishly and it stays fresh all day long.
melindastilesvm – :
This is the only flowery perfume I love. Usually, the flowery scents are a little too much for me; like Pleasures by Estee Lauder; but this one is just perfect. It is sophisticated, gentle, feminine.
kulibin55 – :
This is not simple at all, this is a complex, interesting unique perfume…it is feminine, in a woman way, not girlish…It has sophistication, it isn’t oldish, yet not exactly modern.. Fresh floral with an aromatic vibe. The basil is strong on my skin….I detect the ambrette, the tonka, also, mixed in nicely, the scent has a certain sweetness, it makes it appealing… I dont find it casual though..I like that the lemon isn’t overdone, and in the drydown, the scent opens up very nicely. It isn’t the type of fragrance that I usually wear, but I like its character so far. I think I am on the edge with it, kind of liking it, yet it isn’t really that attractive to my nose..
RazRV – :
A very simple but lovely, comforting fragrance. Nothing mysterious or complicated, but you don’t always need that. As it states in the composition, I get only a mixture of citrus and rose which I find very smooth and calming. I was a bit worried about the citrus note but when ylang-ylang blends in with the two, it’s subtle and warmer. I’ve got a mini bottle and although it’s not in my urgently-wanted fragrances list, I’d like to get a big bottle some day.
Igroman – :
If you love roses, you must try this.
This scent takes you on a stroll in a secret rose garden in full bloom. The fresh sweetness takes you by surprise and wraps itself around you, albeit too tightly. I’m afraid this perfume is too dense for me. The rose garden is too enormous, the scent too overwhelming. I love roses but I’m not a fan of saccharine fragrances. It is a lovely scent, however, so I do encourage you to give it a test.
As for me, I doubt that I would be getting a full bottle after I finish my miniature. But then again, one never knows…
unissomouse – :
El secado se parece a scarlet, pero muy al final, sin embargo son perfumes muy diferentes, el scarlet es muy floral, dulce y se nota mucho (al menos en mi), en cambio el givenchy es como un agua, suave, dulce, pero con un tono cítrico muy delicado.
Su duración es moderada y su estela es suave.
Se ha convertido bien rápido en otra de mis favoritas.
Phoenix966 – :
Very hard to wear it for me, I dont know if I should wear it for every day or to dress up for it??
lp0ko9 – :
I was considering this fragrance to be my spring fragrance, but, having just tested it for the third time, I have changed my mind. Simply, it is too greenish for me!
Moreover, I can smell a lot of lemon. I like lemon, but I don’t want to smell like one!
All in all, it is recommended for someone who loves green, clean, unsweetened scents.
Mixer-X – :
I got this beautiful perfume in a swap yesterday and I have to admit, I like it more than I thought I would! It is beautiful. I would describe it as a citrusy, musky, creamy rose. The musk in this reminds a little bit of Chloé and also a tad of Narciso Rodriguez, although it is much more tame and the citrus gives it something extra that I feel is perhaps missing from the other two mentioned. This is a very versatile and sophisticated fragrance that can be worn anytime, anywhere. Can’t imagine this offending anyone. And the bottle… simply stunning.
Cartoon – :
The most lovely rose I ever felt in a perfume! Wrapped in honey and basil so it’s fresh and very natural. Funny and sofisticated at the same time.
Quite long-lasting on my skin with a moderate sillage. Reminds me of an early sunny morning.
psa1974 – :
A light powdery but fresh floral, but a bit bland on my skin. It’s all but disappeared one hour after I sprayed it.
c080808c – :
I thought the top notes were OK nothing special but after 10 minutes the musk begins to come into play with the roses and makes for a lovely scent. Perfect for the office or bright spring day…makes you smile.
iamtossya-elli – :
This fragrance is beautiful and i believe it is a masterpiece, i love it! The rose is so strong in this fragrance and i love rose notes, it is so strong and creamy mixed in with muskiness and the tonka bean it is delicious added with the citrus that gives it that freshness and that oomph and a general kick. It is a lovely fragrance it smells expensive classy formal sophisticated yet fresh and fun too. It is strong and really long lasting. finally i have found a strong long lasting fragrance with this one, it is beautiful, it is mature and classy yet childlike and innocent at the same time. It is a perfect autumn and spring fragrance.
unsereeduck – :
in my opinion, the factor which partially determines the attitude towards a fragrance is the notion you get when you wear it – good moments, prcious time with the beloved, sunny days, etc. for me this one combines both good memories and exotic freshness, which is not common, boring scent. it feels that this is not just an ordinary cheap fragrance, but is light enough to wear every day. well done for eaudemoiselle!
sanek1989 – :
Wonderful! Got it for my mommy. And me and her are like Gilmore girls. She smelled the bottle,closed her eyes,inhaled…..and was soooo happy.
icferriesf1 – :
I just received this today and I’m so pleased by this blind buy! It’s lovely- hooray me!
Eaudemoiselle starts out with a gently sweet citrus breeze. It’s hard to say what the basil does, but I think it’s what gives this a “cold” feeling that made me think of the vintage Diorissimo elegance. Here is where this fragrance becomes warm- I have had problems with ylang-ylang before, but this was not the heady overpowering type; instead it blends quite dreamily with the rose, giving the perfume a creamy touch. At this point it is really quite interesting because there is something softly fruity about this mixture, which I can only attribute to the tangerine (but it is not citric). The musk settles the fruitiness as the ambrette seeds and tonka beans give this a slight earthy feel. In the end, the dry down is like a happy rose budding from damp soil, petals unfurling gracefully.
The advertisement is perplexingly darker than I would have imaged Eaudemoiselle to be. It would make so much more sense if she were in a lovely laced dress than in a dementor’s drab. I have to say I was really confused with reviews tossing vague labels of “retro” and “modern” to Eaudemoiselle. There is nothing masculine or old lady about this with my chemistry. To me, she is a youthful lady that lives in the today, but fantasizes of the past- aristocracy, luxurious gowns, proper etiquette, ballroom dances, and classical music are all things that invigorate her, but she is grounded into the reality that she lives in modern times. Except it doesn’t stop her from dreaming with an optimistic outlook and vying to keep the old sophisticated values alive.
Eaudemoiselle is a light floral rose with a slight fruity and earthy edge to it. The silage is moderate and lasts 3-4 hours until it becomes soft. On clothes it lasts even longer. I can see myself wearing this in the spring transitioning into fall, and then winter as it gives a certain coziness and comfort. I would say if you enjoyed Chloe EDP and O d’Azur, you might enjoy this too.
She’s a keeper for me, and I’m glad I took the risk! 🙂

Great scent,can’t understand the reason of many people said this is old-fashioned…
Lanselot – :
I ordered this COLD in a 3.3 oz Moisturizing Body Mist from Niemans’ online..cannot wait to try it! I love Le De by Givenchy from the 60’s, and am hoping to get my hands on something to call my own signature classic Givenchy. I also dearly love that it is a moisturing body mist–more holding power perhaps, or good with layering?
plovecAS – :
This is a fragrance that really grew on me. It very quickly evolves into a lovely, uncomplicated rose scent. Perfect for weekends when I just feel like wearing something simple and pretty.
day.b – :
Radiant, lumineuse, a modern classic, with tears of vintage, very elegant, truly chic.
Beautiful and feminine, a virginal seduction. Dews and lemon flowers. A daily springtime.
This could be the scent that Audrey Hepburn keeps inside the mailbox in Breakfast to Tiffany.
gorunov-email.ru – :
This is a really lovely scent. I find it starts off with a burst of fresh citrus and florals which fade fairly quickly and then dries down to a light, creamy, powdery rose. I really love this one.
4manua – :
Fresh rosey scent on my nose, with good sillage and staying power more than 5 hours on my skin.Lovley for spring and also I would try it early fall.Well balansed perfume imo.
slyubaev – :
I’m all about the early stage here. I love the fresh and almost crisp floral opening, it’s a real genuine floral smell. Like a perfecly blended bouqett that you picked your self.. Absolutley a high quality scent, don’t let the edt fool you. It has impressing sillage and lasting power.
However on my skin the musk and the roses tend to dominete the perfume after a while. Im not too crazy about either smells, I do really enjoy the perfume, but the musk and the heavy rose puts it down a bit.
But it’s really great for spring time, so enjoy!:)
KpoJIuk=) – :
I thought I should like it, but the scent is a bit cold. A bit formal, I don’t think it is working well for me, it has a bit of an aromatic edge also..
All in all, a no for me.
