by S.T. Dupont
S.T. Dupont pour Femme is a deeply complex, vintage-inspired floral chypre that exudes sophistication and elegance. It opens with a sharp, bitter-green galbanum note over citrus and melon, giving it an immediate sense of intensity and maturity. The heart unfolds into a rich bouquet of white flowers—gardenia, jasmine, magnolia, ylang-ylang—laced with carnation and cyclamen, creating a soft yet powerful feminine core. The dry-down is woody and mossy, anchored by cedar, sandalwood, oakmoss, and amber, developing into a clean, warm, and subtlely sensual base that lingers for hours. It's not sweet or fresh, but rather mature, restrained, and deeply atmospheric—ideal for evening wear or special occasions. A few users note it becomes more approachable over time, especially in warmer weather, where its floral and airy facets emerge more clearly.
