Unfortunately many French cosmetics driven by insane marketing are just a fraud. When you use polyphenols (from wine), vitamin E and many naturals with exotic properties but you cannot control the free radicals of your own cosmetic base what you sell on the market has little cosmetic activity and the effects are not positive.
You can imagine that I write this because I have in front of me some samples that surprised my nose.
My advice: always trust your nose when you buy cosmetics advertised with no preservatives and other very useful ingredients!

). Il devient un vêtement invisible doté d'un pouvoir magique. La société contemporaine oublie souvent les symboles très anciens préservés par les cultures locales lointaines.

In fact, Orgueil is the updated version of both original Chanel No5 extract (not what is sold today) and Liu. Yet the theme (floral aldehydic jasmine-orris-rose) has something different and original. It is also chypre-fruity and less jasmine (Liu). We can consider Orgueil as a synthesis of No5-Crêpe de Chine - Arpège and Femme. The original note inside is brought by a base similar to Epicea (Synarome) - spicy clove nutmeg-rose ylang and sweet lactonic, an idea also found in Prunol (de Laire). That's why, while smelling the delicious Orgueil (Lucien Lelong) several perfumes are whispering in the aldehydic background - Rumeur (Lanvin) and Femme (Rochas). Femme was reinventing the chypre fruity in that period while Orgueil was reinventing the floral aldehydic theme bringing new shades that did not exist in No5 or Arpège. It is a very complex perfume in terms of notes. Almost symphonic, Orgueil presents all the known facets (even soft leather) under the floral aldehydic dominant. The floral bouquet is classic with a jasmine-rose-orris theme and a great milky tuberose note over a soft sandalwood, sweet powdery and ambery dry down plus a light chypre coda. The creamy sweetness combined with a soft fruity note (plum, peach) gives an amazing velvety feeling under the sparkling aldehydes. The drydown is of a remarkable beauty and lingers forever on the blotter with its delicate animalic civet-honeyed notes. (I will not tell you how it's on the skin ... pure heaven!)
