Chamade Eau de Toilette

Chamade Eau de Toilette from Guerlain, released in 2021 for women, is a green floral with a sweet, woody base. Everyone who describes it calls it floral, most add sweet and green, and a third find it woody, which fits a classic French structure of bitter greens over flowers and vanilla.

The notes come as a single list. Galbanum opens with a sharp, resinous, almost bitter green note, joined by black currant and currant leaf and bud for a tart, slightly catty fruitiness. Hyacinth gives the heart a cool, dewy, green-floral character, while jasmine and ylang-ylang add a rich, creamy warmth. The base is sandalwood for a smooth, creamy wood and vanilla for a soft sweetness that rounds off the greens.

Reports on how it wears are still few. Its character suits spring and autumn and both day and evening, for someone who likes green florals in the old Guerlain manner and wants the eau de toilette's lighter touch.
