Armaf Miss Grandeur Perfume for Women - 3.4 oz Eau de Parfum Spray | Floral Fragrance for Date Night & Special Occasions

This was a blind buy for me (I’m obsessed with perfumes this year and have finally graduated from Bath and Body Works lotions and sprays since they started discontinuing my favorite scents lol) but I was impressed with the bottle design – it is quite bold and exquisite. I liked that Miss Armaf line (the other line isn’t) was formulated in France so you’re getting your money’s worth as French perfumers are some of the best in the world. I had bought the Miss Armaf line for our adult kids for Christmas and my eldest son who walked into our house wearing one of the Armaf male colognes that I had bought for him blew me away. He even stated that he gets so many compliments at work wearing it.Anyways, I did a sniff test of the Miss Armaf line but I was immediately drawn to the Catwalk scent. It’s not heavy by any means. It reminds me of an early summer afternoon when you’re at the beach. I’ve never smelled Jimmy Choo and it seems that this fragrance is similar. I have Tom Ford’s Portofino and while it’s not the same scent, again, this perfume reminds me of a warm day with summer around the corner like the end of spring when you get a hint of a summer scent on the breeze. There is a discerning note of lily, some citrus, and jasmine and yes, it’s quite floral – just not overly heady like when you get a whiff of night jasmine permeating the air. Someone said that you can smell like a classy old lady in this (it’s usually because the scent just doesn’t agree with your body chemistry) but that shouldn’t be the case with everyone – everyone says that Freesia is the fragrance made for me and I’ve yet to find a perfume fully made of Freesia, but I digress. Maybe the word class is the correct word but old lady I don’t think so, perhaps, sophisticated is more like it or feminine. It can be worn during the day, at work, and it can easily transition to the early evenings. It doesn’t last as long as some of the reviewers stated here, it was about 4 hours for me. This isn’t your heavy-duty date night perfume, its more of your casual day or early night type of fragrance. Any woman could grace this perfume, but it doesn’t smell like granny! Lol
