Whether you know she loves Deneuve perfume, or whether you are just looking for something unusual and rare to give the woman you love, you’ll need to be prepared to put in some extra work to get this.

Of course, this makes it all the more desirable by those who love its intoxicating scent.
Romantic Christmas gifts aren’t always easy to find.
This floral chypre was originally brought out by Avon in the mid 1980’s.
Apparently Catherine Deneuve took personal interest in its development, which can’t really be said of many of the celebrity fragrances currently in proliferation.
Deneuve has a fresh green lightness, followed by a sunny garden and wood finish.
It has green top notes with Galbanum, Bergamot, Neroli, Basil, and Aldehyde.
A delicate heart of Rose, Muguet, Jasmin, Orris, Ylang-Ylang, Violet, and Hyacinth.
It is carried lightly on base notes of Moss, Musk, Cedarwood, Sandalwood and Civet.
Those who know and love this perfume love it passionately and use their supply judiciously.
You will find the original perfume on eBay from time to time.
There is also a copy called Cannes by Irma Shorell which claims to be a good imitation.
You may have to do some digging, but that just helps to put Deneuve perfume in the list of hot Christmas gifts.
