Rabanne Eau de Calandre is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1969. Eau de Calandre opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Geranium, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Rabanne's Eau de Calandre carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive vintage scent that embodies a paradoxical duality: simultaneously fresh and 'old school', elegant and assertive. It's not for everyone, but those who love it, really love it. If you can find a vintage bottle, go for it.

About

Opens with a brisk, bright wash of lemon and geranium, immediately giving way to a rich, verdant floral heart. Lily-of-the-valley and rose are prominent, enveloped by a distinct woody-mossy undercurrent. The dry down retains a clean, slightly soapy feel, grounded by vetiver, sandalwood, and a soft, sensual musk that balances the initial freshness with a creamy, sophisticated warmth.
