It is the best classic parfume ever...
Gorgeous perfume. Haven't worn this fragrance in years and it's better than I remember. So different from all the flowery scents around - feels individual.
My husband purchased this for me as I have been using it for years. Always enjoyed wearing it, as it is not a perfume readily available in the stores, it makes me feel special.
Good produce, my wifes favourite
excellent value and sent promptly
I dont have Creation , but your composition remember Mystere by Rochas . Top : Galbanum, cascarilla , coriander, hyacinth Midlle: Violet, narcissus, may rose, jasmine, tuberose, lily of the valley, carnation, ylan-ylang , orris Base: Cypress, oakmoss, cedar wood, musk, civet, patchouly, styrax
Really disappointed in this one, because I love Ivoire. Jolie Madame is really smelly, the spiciness and leather is really old man/old lady. It reminds me of the way my grandpa's big old car used to smell, like cigarettes and Old Spice. Also sort of reminded me a bit of Red Door (blech!). Definitely try before you buy on this one!
Sylvie: Interesting compairison between the "high class" Jolie Mme and the "drugstorefragrance" Creation. I also have both fragrances in my collection and will try them both in the near future. As I rememberd them there is a hint of violets (orris)in Jolie and that Jolie is more "green" than Creation which is more sweet, white flower. And I also remember a pineapple-note in Creation.
A Balmain-must-have-fragrance for collectors and vintage-addicts!! Dry-down: Elegant, mossy, sweet-warm chypre and leather. - Here a description for JOLIE MADAME: "Year Introduced: 1953. Scent Type: Chypre-Floral. Top Notes: Gardenia, artemisia, bergamot, coriander, neroli. Heart Notes: Jasmine, tuberose, rose, jonquil, orris. Base Notes: Patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, musk, castoreum, leather, civet." - To my surprise: Jolie Madame shares some very similar notes with CREATION by Ted Lapidus. The dry-down smells nearly similar! Dear PE-ladies, if you love Jolie Madame, please give Creation a try!! Let me know if you can smell the similarity. Happy sniffing and greetings to all, Sylvie.
After spending thousands on all the newest scents and never finding anything that really thrills me, I am going back to Jolie Madame, a fragrance that I wore years ago. It and Charles of the Ritz are two of the prettiest fragrances ever developed and both are real men attracters. The newer fragrances just don't have the depth of staying power of these two oldies. What a thrill to find others on this list who also appreciate the elegance of this fabulous fragrance.
is one of those distinct scents from the past that I can always pick out in a crowd of people, whether it be at a night club, a benefit, or the theater. Usually, when I have traced Jolie Madame to the wearer, she invariably winds up being the most interesting, mysterious and complex woman in the room. I first smelled it on a music teacher in high school in the 60's. She had that pre-Beatles, ladylike demeanor about her & the Jolie Madame really ehanced her personality. Tweed suits, stockings, heels, and pearls seem to go hand-in-hand with this fragrance, however, a gamine-like woman in a leather jacket wearing pearls could also pull off wearing this classic. It spells paris with a capital "P" for sure.
I used to wear this in High School! I can't believe that it is back on the market again....I looked for it several years ago and it was nowhere.....It brings back memories of my first love....its sensual, rich and sexy!
most interesting scent. drive the beasts crazy. crazy wildmen come running when smelling. wonderful.
I love violet fragrances in the spring and summer and hate to give it up in the fall, especially Violetta di Parma, so Jolie Madame is my fall and winter violet scent replacement. This is a pretty ladylike fragrances that is warm and beguiling(it is so unique this is the best word to describe it) and also sophisticated but in a youthful way, it makes me feel perky and energetic and I just love it!
My father used to buy this fragrance for my sisters and me in the 50's. We thought we were so special to be able to wear this to school(and we were). I am please to find this fragrance and to be able to purchase for my sisters, the perfume brings back so many good memories.
This is so pretty! I am so glad I discovered it. Smells like violets and powder along with the exotic leather/chypre smell.
A sophisticated, ladylike but upretentious fragrance. Warms you and everyone around you on a bitter cold or chilly, damp day. Gardenia comes through to make it sweet but not cloying like newer scents. Very rich but not musty. Love this one.
My mother wore it. It reminds me of my childhood in Paris, her warm hugs and elegant style. Now I wear Jolie Madame and I am getting compliments on what I am wearing. One young hip hop girl followed me at a video shop she asked me what I was wearing and asked me to write it down. Awesome fragrance.. I wish they had the soap, the powder and lotion.
A timeless scent. Refreshing and soft brings back memories of yesteryear. It makes you feel like you are in Paris everyday.
This wonderful perfume takes me back to my teen years but it also takes me forward as it is a truly timeless scent. Exquisite.
Takes me back to when I worked for the telephone company in Chicago and my husband was going to school....We watched all our pennies and I splurged and bought me some Jolie Madame and only wore it on special occasions....Never thought I could find it again
A good soap, that's what I thought of first. Green with flowers, fresh, unobtrusive.
Fresh greens/herbs mixed with sweetness(florals?); citrus; light pepperiness; light chalkiness; a hint of men's shaving cream; softens down to a light soap-like fragrance.
I love this perfume, not only because it is a great classic, but because my mother wore it for YEARS. I cannot smell it without thinking of her.
Exquisite, classic, mossy floral. I had a college professor who wore it often; the halls in our foreign language center smelled so French and elegant. Very sexy. Warm. Smells like nothing else. Try it!
