Our verdict on Champs Elysees: Acquired

Champs Elysees is a divisive but ultimately beloved classic. Most find it a joyous, sophisticated floral that screams springtime in Paris, while a vocal minority can't stand the powdery mimosa, some even detecting an odd cat-piss note. If you're after a happy, light floral, it's a solid shout.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Fall

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its fresh, clean floral accords make it versatile, leaning towards casual and date wear but still appropriate for office given its moderate sillage. The sweet and fruity elements elevate it for romantic settings, while its brightness makes it less suitable for formal, very serious settings or sport.

About

Imagine strolling through a blooming garden in early spring; that's Champs Elysees. It opens with an almost effervescent burst of fruity sweetness from melon, peach, and blackcurrant, quickly joined by an almondy, powdery floral heart of mimosa, lilac, and violet. The drydown is a soft, comforting whisper of sandalwood, cedar, and vanilla, retaining that delicate, airy floral powder throughout. It’s a bright, playful, yet elegant perfume that evokes a sense of lighthearted femininity.
