This is for CALANDRE. If you are one who LOVES Calandre and/or Metal, please let it be known by writing to Paco Rabanne directly. If several of us will do that, it might make a difference in their...

This one and I don't get along at all. Green bergamot, sharp woods and super-sweet sticky florals make it dense, dark and over-complicated. This is so not my thing.

I am pretty sure Calandre doesn't exist anymore or at least not in the formulation I used to love. My husband was never nuts about this scent, but I didn't care because I wore it for me. To me...

I'm coming to believe this house was on to something. These three-Calandre, Metal and La Nuit are reallly special. Why the latter has become unavailable is beyond me. It is the sexiest perfume...

I've been dying to try Calandre ever since finding out about Metal (which is an awesome frag btw). Calandre is a completely different fragrance from Metal however, Calandre does have a metallic...

If Halston was my mother's dressed-up-for-going-out scent, Calandre was certainly her dressed-up-for-work scent. It is both the smell of mom going to an interview or important meeting and of...

Calandre is a gorgeous, bright green floral. It's not too floral, not too sweet, not too green - very well balanced. It has a citrussy bergamot opening on me and then becomes more soapy, opening...

A true avantgarde perfume, very modern indeed - but so loud and aggressive - we used to spray it on flies in our room when we were kids (our mum got a bottle of it as a present and hated it as much...

To all my friends out there, this is my best kept little secret since many years. I am learning so much from MUPAlley that I am happy to share this with you. Calandre is fresh, flowery and a bit...

On the quest for the HG scent I stopped to look back and remember who was first. Could there be a connection - the first experience so good, a lifetime quest results? And what if the first was the...

I got the best compliment recently from my son. I had just applied Calandre when he said, "Oh, Mama, you smell so good! Are we going some place special today?" Actually, no, we weren't. I find...

This review is for Calandre by Paco Rabanne. The name is what intrigued me about this fragrance; French for a car's radiator grille. And in the initial burst it does contain a certain metallic...

Bergamot, rose, jasmine, lily of the valley, sandalwood, amber and musk. These are the notes according to some, and I would say this sounds right, except there does seem to be an herbal note...more...

It's a shame this lovely scent is not more out there. It's chic, fresh, but as all of Paco's, very very personal. Not green, not sweet and not too femenine.

Although Calandre is similar to Rive Gauche, I prefer way better Canlandre. It does not have the harshness and bitterness of Rive Gauche. Calandre has a honey note that it very pleasing. I wear...

I dearly love this scent! The first time I tried it, I thought it smelled old and dated. Then I tried again. I really enjoy it. For me, the John Oakes description is dead on. He describes it a...

I've loved Calandre since the early 1970s. It's similar to Hermes Caleche but less superclean and has more jasmine than Caleche. I think of Calandre as a light, green, jasmine floral classic. I...
