About
Chamade by Guerlain is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Chamade was launched in 1969. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Paul Guerlain. Top notes are Hiacynth, Aldehydes, Rose, Jasmine and Bergamot; middle notes are Galbanum, Rose, Lilac, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley and Cloves; base notes are Tolu Balsam, Benzoin, Peru Balsam, Amber, Vetiver, Vanilla and Sandalwood. Chamade was created by Paul Guerlain in 1969, and it was inspired by the Francoise Sagan\'s novel “La Chamade”. In the time of Napoleon, ‘chamade’ was a very fast drumbeat that called to retreat. This perfume is meant to emulate the heavy heartbeat of a person in love and its fragrance is based on hyacinth, heavy and green, and blackcurrant that can be sensed through the oily hyacinth richness. The fragrant love story is rounded by a pretty bottle in a shape od upside down turned heart, pierced by an arrow – a symbol of surrender to love. The main notes are Turkish rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, lilac, blackcurrant buds, lily of the valley, galbanum, sandalwood, vetiver, musk, amber, iris, and Tonka bean.

About
Le Dix Perfume by Balenciaga is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Le Dix Perfume was launched in 1947. The nose behind this fragrance is Francis Fabron. Top notes are Aldehydes, Coriander, Peach, Bergamot and Lemon; middle notes are Lilac, Orris Root, Ylang-Ylang, Lily-of-the-Valley, Rose, Jasmine and Almond; base notes are Civet, Sandalwood, Musk, Benzoin, Vanilla, Vetiver, Amber, Peru Balsam, Tonka Bean and Patchouli. Le Dix Perfume was launched in 1947 as a gentle, classic floral scent for evening. Delicate, powdery, dark violets can be felt through a sparkling veil of bergamot and lemon, giving the main motive to the whole composition. The opulent heart opens with rose and ylang-ylang and, after a while, their strong floral scent is toned down by aldehydes. Subtle vanilla dominates in the base bringing an interesting accord into this classic composition. The notes are: bergamot, lemon, ylang-ylang, rose, lily-of-the-valley, iris, musk, vanilla, sandalwood and vetiver.
