Champs Elysees by Guerlain: launched in 1996 ,created by Jacques Guerlain and Jean-Paul Guerlain. The name was inspired by the 1904 Guerlain scent Parfum des Champs-Elysées, which has been discontinued for many years.
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a fruity floral fragrance for women.
I tested a vintage 1990s sample and it started off with sharp aldehydes and pungent citrus, then the sweet jasmine, powdery mimosa and delicate rose became more prominent. It's dry down was soft with a blend of sandalwood and vanilla.
The success of the fragrance spawned a flanker scent named Champs Elysees Too Much..? in 2000, as a more intense, fresh summery version. It is classified as a floral green fragrance for women with a dominant mimosa note.
