I hated Love, Chloe too. I’m very fond of Broadway Nite!

I remember Chantilly from back in the day, and you’re right, it is very un-fluffy. 🙂

Of course.

Just went and checked Coty’s website (here: https://www.coty.com/brands#block-quicktabs-brands ) and they don’t list either Dana or Houbigant.

I managed to find my vintage Chantilly today!

I guess it does suggest the idea of the Chantilly dessert up top if you find real sandalwood creamy and notice a hint of maraschino cherry. But it’s a heavy perfume by today’s standards, with the soapy-powdery aldehydes in addition to that real sandalwood, and not sweet or fruity. Think Chanel No. 5 rather than Misia.

Is it owned by Coty now, as so much else is?

Ah yes, memories of writing all night for an assignments due at 9 a.m Deadlines motivate me, but only when I’m at the brink 😀

I have a small vintage bottle somewhere, but it must be hiding behind something else at the moment. I don’t remember it smelling anything like the name Chantilly or the 4160 Tuesdays description (any more than Blue Grass smells like grass).

Here are the notes from Fragrantica:

“Top notes are fruity notes, neroli, bergamot and lemon; middle notes are spices, carnation, jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose and orange blossom; base notes are leather, tonka bean, musk, benzoin, oakmoss, vanilla and sandalwood.”

I don’t think it was light and fluffy, despite the name. But perhaps it seemed so compared with Tabu. 😉

Hate when that happens! And sadly it happens all to often! LOL!
