Not the same scent
I would never buy again
As so many reviews have pointed out, the new Le De is a poor replacement for the original. I was so excited to see it was available again so I ordered it. My granddaughter said it smelled like bubblegum! It sits unused on my perfume shelf. Christalle is my go to now which is often out of stock. A decent replacement for the original LeDe but nothing will ever measure up to the Le De of yester year.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Not The Same
Bears little resemblance to the Le De I wore in my college days! Betty Davis, who wore this scent exclusively, would be very disappointed in the new formula. I was!
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Slightly disappointing
I use the product every day and the atomiser is easy to apply

Spring lily and lilac
nothing in commun with Le De from the 60ties, but a very soft lily of the valley and lilac fragrance. Too weak IMO.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

'Tis Amazing that this even exists!
I usually buy at least 2 bottles when they are in stock. I keep one in the icebox--which I notice is a (popular AND) wise place to store your stash privee'. There were a few years when this scent was not made anywhere on this earth in any form. Today's scent is lighter and does not last as long as the original formula. Buy plenty! But to critics, I say--be glad of today's gifts and enjoy. To FragranceX--merci. If you love florals that are not overpowering that men like, Diorissimo (it IS original formula) is another favourite of mine. I use it as a special ocasion fragrance especially in Spring and Summer--and FX has it, TOO!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Thank you!
I was thrilled to get this perfume which has been unavailable for so long. However . . . while this version is delightful, it is only an echo of the original perfume! Some of the original notes can still be identified, but the deep, sensual notes that made it essentially Le De are missing. Please - bring back the real Le De!
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Not what I expected
This perfume was a "re-launch" which, in perfumer's code talk means "re-formulation." This scent bears no resemblance to the original Le De and anyone who orders it will be disappointed. The sexy, intoxicating but never overpowering Le De is apparently gone forever. The original was an unforgettable smell -- there was nothing like it. I don't know why Givenchy tinkered with a good thing, unless it became too expensive to make. Jasmine, violets and coriander were some of the ingredients I remember that went into this perfume. Although it does not smell bad, "ce n'est rien de special," as the French would say. Nothing special. Weak, nondescript -- and expensive.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Not the same scent
I first bought this scent in a fragrance boutique in Tours, France, in 1968. I bought the eau de parfum strength. I also purchased it in the US until it suddenly disappeared. Unfortunately, what is available now is a feeble eau de toilette, and it bears no resemblance to the eau de parfum or the eau de toilette I remember so well. It is a weak reforumulation and lacks the floral (jasmine), spicey characteristics that made it so distinctive. When I smelled Le De for the very first time, I could not recall ever having experienced such an original fragrance. I thought I was standing at the gates of Paradise. That wonderful smell is obviously gone for good. The only positive thing I can say about this eau de toilette spray is that it is inoffensive and you get a lot of it -- but this is NOT the intoxicating fragrance I remember. I am heartsick.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

At last!
I used this fragrance exclusively during the 60s and 70s, and paid about $100 an ounce for parfum. By the 80s I was having trouble finding it, and purchased it for the last time at a duty-free shop in Fiji in 1988. I have been searching for it ever since. The scent brings back many memories of my days and adventures as a young bride. I am thrilled to have found it once again!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

New look and smell
I purchased Le De because I have used this scent since the 60's. I don't think it is just a new package. This Le De does not smell like I remember. I doubt I will buy another bottle. I will find another scent.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Delighted! Le De my favorite!
I have been looking for this relaunch, since it is very hard to find. Looked all over internet. Found one 2oz for $200.00. I didn't want to pay that much. Had small amount left of old bottle...still smelled great. Found and bought this relaunch from FragranceX. Great order experience and thrilled to get it. Got the last bottle you had in stock. Yay! This is a wonderfully complex and feminine scent. I compared the two on each arm. So close, the difference is hardly noticable. In my opinion the classic fragrances are the best, especially Givenchy, Dior & Ives St. Laurent. These are my favorite fragrance houses. In my opinion, they are the "creme de le creme" of the French houses. Their fagrances rock!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I Love this perfume
I only buy French perfumes and it all depends on my moods as to which one I wear on that day. This perfume makes me feel like a hundred dollars and elegant. Does not hold. If sprayed on wrists you may not smell as well than if used between the breasts which is where I spray perfume, then only have to bend my head to get a nice whiff!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

[...]
I first used LeDe in the early 60s. Could buy it locally but in the 80s had to order from [...] in New York. [...] Love it and there is no other like it. Even though it is expensive, it is definitely worth it.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

The most beautiful perfume I every wore.
Back in the 60's when I was in my 20's, I wore it when I had a very important date. I wore it for special occasions - it's a dress-up kind of scent. I never forget its fragrance nor the way it made me feel when I wore it. It is my all time favorite but it has become very expensive over the years and has almost priced itself out of my budget.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Happy Le De is Back
Missed Le De when it disappeared. Used to use the actual perfume, but am happy to have the scent, even in the Eau De Toilette Spray. But no scent should come in such a large bottle. It doesn't give the user a chance to finish the bottle before the scent fades.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

GLAD ITS BACK!
I HOPE THAT GIVENCHY CONTINUES TO MAKE THIS SCENT AVAILABLE.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
