Our verdict on Calandre: Favourite
This isn't just a perfume, it's a personality. Calandre is your elegant, no-nonsense pal for spring and summer, delivering a smooth, metallic rose that's often compared to - and sometimes preferred over - the iconic Rive Gauche. It's a timeless classic that holds its own, though some find modern iterations fall short of its original glory.
