Coty L'aimant Parfum De Toilette Spray, 1.7 Ounce

Rumor has it that both Chanel (#5) & Coty had the same fragrance note list for these two fragrances due to using a chemist that left Coty to work for Chanel. In 1927 Coty had another chemist tweek the notes and released L’Aimant. It’s so similar if you compare the scent profiles for both (and much more affordable!). L'Aimant by Coty is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance for women. L'Aimant was launched in 1927. Top notes are Aldehydes, Neroli, Peach and Bergamot; middle notes are Ylang-Ylang, Rose, Jasmine, Geranium and Orchid; base notes are Musk, Sandalwood, Vanille, Tonka Bean, Vetiver and Virginia Cedar. L’Aimant is a lovely aldehydic forward fragrance. It’s becoming harder to come by so if you’re into old fashioned fragrances, (Chanel #5, Shalimar, White Shoulders etc), be sure to add this to your collection. The bottle is a lovely Art-Deco designed glass reminiscent of the art, decor & fragrance from that era. A great price!

absolutely amazing! this was a blind buy based off several reviews of vintage scents from the era of chanel #5. oh my gosh--i cannot express how lovely this is. while it is not a "dupe" of chanel no 5, it was coty's answer to chanel no 5 back in the day. but its like a softer, mellower, more powdery version. like no. 5 with all harshness removed. i cannot belief you can get such a classy scent for such a reasonable amount. its such an amazing value! if you love vintage scents like chanel no 5, shalimar, l'air du temps even,,,you will love this and wonder where it has been all your life. not to mention the art deco bottle is a work of art! i treat my perfumes with kidd gloves and usually keep them boxed--but this bottle with be featured prominently on my dresser on a silver tray. just gorgeous to look at!

The fragrance is unbelievable. A great value for the price. You can wear it everywhere. Highly recommended

Smells awful. Nothing at all like Chanel #5. Very disappointed.

I'm not sure what sorcery this fragrance has but when I first ordered this and took a whiff I did not like. It smelled like baby powder, but after trying it on for a few days, it has really grown on me. I like the lightness of the fragrance. My only complaint is that it doesn't last very long,

This is supposed to be "Floral, Powdery, Woody, Sweet & Creamy." I get a little of each but nothing stands out & it's as if all the notes are muddled together. It's not unpleasant; it just doesn't come together. If I had to choose one note that tries to rise up, it would be the powder & not in a little old lady way. That's what makes this nice enough not to regret buying it. I can tell that this WILL get better if I let it sit for a few weeks (months?). This is one of those drugstore scents that work well for layering or (if you are patient) for smelling way more expensive than it is. (Look at how Emeraude - which is a sub for Shalimar - is suddenly so popular.) This is nice for the office or other places where you don't want to assault others with your fragrance.

This is one of the best budget friendly, long lasting, classic perfumes I’ve ever tried. While it’s not a “dupe,” it definitely reminds me of Chanel No. 05, and it wears incredibly well for the price. It lasts 6-8 hours when sprayed on clothing, and it doesn’t stain/discolor like some other yellow floral perfumes.

Quick service, great product
