Classic leathery-jasmine chypre that’s sadly been discontinued. I am excited to finally having acquired a full-size spray without breaking the bank and it’s everything everyone has ever said about it … rich, traditional, and quintessentially masculine with an elegant retro 1930s vintage vibe. Think Clark Gable on an exclusive cruise ship with art-deco furnishings everywhere.
There’s history too with a nod to the SS Normandie (aka the ‘French Line’), one of the most celebrated cruise liners ever built (1932) … and which was also ‘discontinued’ as it ultimately burned-down and capsized in 1942.
Fresh bergamot/lemon at the top … then a very masculine full-bodied rose note … followed by the heavenly drydown, an ambery-musky leather that’s rich and unforgettable.
A rare, elegant and truly ‘first-class’ fragrance experience.

I used this back in the 80’s and loved it so much! I spent all my pocket money on a bottle (why buy computer games if one can buy French perfume?) and savoured every drop. I remember this scent as an 80’s powerhouse, with lots of sweet sparkle in the top and a long, long drydown with warm spices (for some reason I remember the smell of cinnamon in there), combined with generous servings of amber, musc and patchouli. I’m intrigued by the mention of coconut. Could very well be…
To me, it didn’t smell like Antaeus at all, which I find much more virile, dark and leathery. French Line was sweeter and more of a party……

Lipstick, powder, leather and rose, mainly leather and rose–gee, were they thinking romance when they made this. A very good scent for a sophisticated man on a date, I think. It’s just a bit too sophisticated for me lol. At times it’s a bit jagged too: some of the notes stick out too much for me. For sure it’s a nice scent and unique. The drydown is very comforting. Not something I would wear in the heat or at my age of 34, though. Save this for at night. 7/10 overall

I agree with cosmicfred.
This is almost identical to vintage Antaeus. In fact probably better, “richer” !!!

It reminds me of vintage Antaeus in the drydown, but weaker.
Easier to find and cheaper than the vintage CHANEL one.Very good.

French line is a man`s scent. There must be some mistake in the database.
It is a very classic, very dry chypre, and it takes guts to wear it.Something about it is so alike with Trussardi Uomo…they could be kissing cousins.
