Ellipse

I have a mini bottle of Ellipse pure parfum. This is a sharp green chypre, very much of its time period, the 1970s. It also clusters with other sharp, bold green chypres like Sikkim de Lancome, Givenchy III, Cialenga, Mystere de Rochas, etc.

Cabochard + Knowing Something in between is Ellipse Great longevity, beautifully unfolding mossy chypre with pine and some aldehydes

My mom used to wear this when I was very young. Powerful. Definitely a classic. Do they sell this now? I have not seen it anywhere.

It was my favourite, perfect for evening time to wear. Why it is not produced any loner?! Will never forget it, love for ever!!!!

Just looked trough my big perfume collection to sort out a bunch of forgotten perfumes in a box. I found a small glass bottle with a black plastic cap - a full 25 ml. I can see that the text is exactly the same and when I tried it it ozzed of green beautifullness. A bit sweet in the beginning but now 30 min later mostly green. I must say it is a glorious perfume. I really wonder where I have gotten it from. Well exciting to have such a legendary perfume.

Discontinued, but legendary! Thanks to a celestial Fragrantica member, I was able to experience Ellipse . . . finally! It has been on my unicorn list since I found out about it! What a glorious perfume! Zinging with a galbanum accord, there's a undeniable green feeling that has an elven feel to it! Mischievious, worldly and with a gorgeous woody oakmoss frame. Real oakmoss in its most potent incarnation! Strident galbanum gleaming in a dynamic setting; warm, hearty woods and spice creating a foundation for them to shine. This is a statement perfume for the gamine! Only discontinued because of in-house business conflicts, it has remained in the hearts of aficionados for almost half a century. Ellipse started out as a department store perfume, and is now on all the Top 10 lists as one of the most expensive perfumes in the world thanks to lovers of this scent vying for the remaining supply. Now that I've worn it, I know why . . . it has a spitfire appeal that once smelled, you long for again. In the genre of Estee Lauder Estee and Niki de St. Phalle, which also feature oakmoss in a starring role, Ellipse is much easier to wear and more engaging. The legend is deserved!

After passing through 2 phases ,which means being similar to 2 other perfumes , this darling ends up to be a twin to vintage Ô de Lancome.

Wow I still remember the deodorant spray in white bottle with silver top, it was hot item in 80s in USSR. Woody floral chypre.

A micro mini perfume bottle of Ellipse arrived and I am in perfume heaven.A rich,dry ,woody chypre in all its glorious beauty.It developes minute by minute on the skin,beautiful in all its phases.I am a die hard chypre fan and this is one of the most beautiful that I have smelled.The only other perfume I can compare it with is Sinan by Jean Marc Sinan(the vintage one with the cream colored crescent moon stopper)

Gone, but not forgotten vintage. Very green for me, very chypre, and a little dry to the touch. It was nice knowing the scent.

I have a fatal obsession with the Perfume! SOS!)))))

Loved it, miss it. Still have a few drops from 1984.

Lovely perfumes, my mom used to wear it back in 1978. I just remember that it was dry warm scent. I really would like to buy one for myself. Any idea where can i get?
