• Review of Parfum Sacre by Pearl Drift

  Created by Jean-Pierre Bethouart in 1990 for the house of Caron, "Parfum Sacre" is a divinely oriental, spicy floral frag. A lush, heady and rich opening of rose, jasmine and exotic spices permeate ones senses, while the dark and sultry incense develops heightening the drama,.. as it is joined by the vanilla, powdery and woody musk, rose and jasmine to create an unforgettable experience of sheer bliss for the fortunate wearer. "Parfum Sacre" has great longevity and magnificent projection. It is very chic and elegant, and is quietly seductive. It is intimately sensual, profoundly feminine and intoxicatingly rich. It is for the mature woman, who is confident of the Goddess residing within! A great classic from the house of Caron!

• Review of Parfum Sacre by Scent Hound

  Though introduced in 1990, Parfum Sacre fits in perfectly with Ernest Daltroff's creations from the 1930s and 40s, and I mean that as a compliment of the highest order. A classic oriental with frankincense, cinammon and spice, and a rose note that is green rather than lush. Powdery and woodsy in the drydown, with that rose lingering in the background. A very sexy yet subtle scent.

• Review of Parfum Sacre by Smells Good

  Parfum Sacre opens on what is to my nose a very fresh frankincense note, no the smokey type of burnt frankincense but the slightly tangy fresh incense with a hint of citrus deckling the edges. This is incense before it is put in the censer. And as one wears the perfume one becomes the censer, providing the warmth to turn this to a lovey clean fume of the best incense as if the grains were placed on a hot plate rather than a charcoal. No smoke, just the rising of the churchy notes in a peaceful fragrance.

• Review of Parfum Sacre by Quincy June

  Well. No pepper, or any other kind of spice. No orange blossom. No jasmine. Lots of powder, though, for about two hours. Then the drowsy incense wakes up and peeks its head out, and is shortly joined by pallid vanilla, but both soon get bored and head back to bed, leaving the powder to do a whirling dervish thing all on its own. I had convinced myself after reading reviews that I would absolutely love this, and I'm quite perplexed that I don't. The powdery note is exactly the same one I get from Nuit de Noel, but NdN is much spicier and richer on me. By comparison, Parfum Sacre barely shows up on my skin, and what's there is rather bland.

• Review of Parfum Sacre by Cheryl Lukasiewicz

  Caron classifies this scent as "oriental spicy", listing notes of myrrh, musk, vanilla, rose, jasmine, pepper, cinnamon and coriander on their site. I'd classify it as a rose scent "with a kick", having an overall powdery and slightly spicy feel. I am a big fan of Caron scents. They are very well blended, and not your run-of-the-mill department store type scents. Parfum Sacre fills a gap for me when I want to wear something different, so it's not something I'd wear every day ... but is enjoyable in the right mood.

• Review of Parfum Sacre by Jo Roccuzzo

  Parfum Sacre is a distinctive and unusual oriental that opens with a peppery note on a floral bed of rose. As it dries down, the pepper recedes and softer florals and spices, including vanilla, emerge, but the fragrance never loses its drama. This is perfume from another age -- not for the shy or for little girls. It has been in my perfume wardrobe for many years and will always have a place there.
