by Courrèges
Sweet Courrèges is a highly distinctive, retro-inspired fragrance with a bold, synthetic character that evokes 1990s glamour and youthful nostalgia. It opens with a sharp, zesty burst of aldehydes, citrus, and green notes, creating a crisp, almost medicinal freshness that many describe as "chemical" or "odometer-like." Over time, it settles into a lush, sweet floral heart of jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, and tuberose, wrapped in creamy vanilla, honeyed amber, and a subtle musky-woody base. The experience is dynamic and evolving—some describe it as reminiscent of frosted candy, glossy perfume-mist, or even expensive laundry soap, while others find it deeply nostalgic, transporting them to youthful, carefree moments. The scent is notably long-lasting and radiates a strong, voluminous sillage, making it impossible to miss. It performs best in spring and summer, especially on warm days or in the evening, and while not universally liked, many appreciate its uniqueness and emotional resonance.
