My review is for the 1995/current version. The original from the 1920’s has completely different notes.
A lively, fizzy, fruity juice comes popping out of the bottle. This has an incredible citrus high which I love. I am sure there is a sweet watermelon there too. This could be a delicious cocktail. The drydown is powdery but with a mouth-watering lemony background. The sweetness gradually fades and this becomes a good unisex scent.

This is very calone and I’m surprised not to see melon notes listed. If this is anything like the original, formulated in the 1920s, then it’s years ahead of its time. I suspect 90s fashions for aquatics and calones influenced the 95 reformulation.
All in all, it’s not a bad summer buy and if you know anyone who likes similar scents, they can’t go wrong with this. I found some on Amazon in a set with Je Reviens and Miss Worth, so it is out there. I can’t help liking it, even though melons are not my thing.

Apparently Sans Adieu is discontinued, but as of September 2013 the 1995 EDT in utilitarian spray bottle is readily, and cheaply, available on Ebay. It was reissued when Worth was owned by International Classic Brands, and I have no idea how close this version is to the original. Certainly the bottle marks a massive decline from the gorgeous green Lalique flacon! How I want that bottle! (But not enough to fork over the 2k it goes for.)
My guess is that that ’95 version is significantly reformulated. I smell the aquatic and the green, but there’s an ’80sish weight too and an oriental sweetness, like Guerlain’s Jardins de Bagatelle or Dior’s Poison. I like it and am quite pleased with this inexpensive blind buy.
