Chaldee Parfum by Jean Patou (30ml)

Fragrance Family: Floral Oriental

The author of the blog, Vetivresse, wrote a wonderful review of this fragrance. Here is an excerpt:

"Chaldée was inspired by the ancient Babylonian empire which, I guess, stood out in Patou’s mind as a mythic dream of sun-drenched ruins and cerulean seas. Like Shalimar, which preceded it by two years, Chaldée leveraged the popular opopanax-amber accord in its base. Its formula was deceptively short, with notes of orange flower, hyacinth, jasmine, narcissus, lilac, the aforementioned accord and a warm nuzzle of what can only be (now-illegal) nitromusks."
