LOL! Five out of six is still an A+ lol. People seem to like Lancome's La Vie Est Belle on me - which is a good thing because I like it on me too lol. I can understand what you mean. I think it's because it's so musky. I love the underlying tones - the surface ones not so much. The great thing about it though, for ppl who like it, that is, is that it lassttttssss! I have to try that Jasmine Rouge you like!
Good lol

To me the tobacco is quite strong! Some find it sexy but I can't stand it.

I have Velvet Orchid and like it as long as I only spray a little, I made the mistake of spraying too much and instantly had a bad headache. However I do like that it lasts a long time.

I love the pink Chanel Chance but so many people wear the Chance fragrances that when my sample ran out I didn't buy it. However I'm now reconsidering or maybe I'll like the new Chance.

Has anyone gotten any promo gifts from Chanel lately???? We live in two states. I have everything from Chanel sent to me in the staet where I spend the lion-share of my time. For whatever reason Chanel sent a box to my alternate address and I'm dying to know what it is. I haven't ordered anything from the web site in quite some time.

Yes. It annoys my senses!!! I was surprised that I disliked it because it seemed to be all the rage----I thought I
was abnormal or something!

Fragrance can invoke so many memories too from long ago. I was very little when my grandpa died, as in around 6. Yet, last night there was a hot guy and his fragrance as soon as I got a whiff of it, BAM, out of nowhere, it brought back memories of my grandpa. He was wearing a fragrance from Creed. Which is what my grandpa wore. No clue which one, but it was weird, in a good way.

I think D&G Light Blue gave me headaches like that.
  [COLOR=0000FF] That's good.  The combo is quite interesting.  I wonder how they came up with that one.[/COLOR]:sigh:
Maybe a woman with a vanilla perfume strolling thru a smoke-filled gentleman's club? That mix could be appealing. I don't remember the other notes, will have to check Fragrantica or something lol

I will let you know when mine arrives. I get these on a regular basis. Which means I spend too much money at Chanel.

Yes. That's so true. Whenever I smell gardenias I think of my grandmother----it makes me smile.

I second Insaisissable and Melodieuse ♡ Those are two of my faves. Have to add Fougueuse, Incandescente and Excentrique.

Oh yes! Good call AWS-------I forgot about Rouge Allure Luminous Intense,Fougueuse (Bright Pink) 138, Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte, La Diva (Electric Pink)
44 and Rouge Allure Luminous Intense, Craquante (Luminous Pink) 146.

I totally ignored the pinks-----some of my favs!!! I don't think I have the other 2 that you referenced.
