Champs Elysees was created by Joelle Nealy. This scent evokes swaths of cherry blossoms, a thin-rimmed porcelain cup of black tea infused with citrus, honey and rose petals, a tempting display of pastel-colored macarons and crisp linen tablecloths. It is a water-based fragrance mist.
Reddit: Champs Elysées is quite rose-forward on me, but it's not a really juicy, jammy rose but a very dry (yet un-dusty) rose that goes beautifully with the dainty pink cherry blossom. I adore Poesie's black tea scents but I actually don't find this one to be very tea-forward - the tea is in the background along with the porcelain musk and linen. Altogether it's a very pretty and sophisticated scent, with a dry and standoffish quality that actually feels kind of perfectly in line with the popular idea of Paris in the springtime.
Reddit: This perfume fits into what I think most folks conceive of when they think of a "Poesie" fragrance. Their beloved black tea note, lightly floral, sweet macarons, honey and a warm clean cotton type note. This is a very pretty scent, and quite cozy too with the addition of the clean cotton. Clean cotton notes are not always my favorite because they can be kind of cloying to my nose (or maybe my mom used too much of those clean cotton air freshners growing up) but here it's well balanced. I think Poesie's tea note is A+. Here it's MAINLY a black tea scent with honey, accompanied by florals and clean cotton. I don't detect the macarons other than a subtle sense of sweetness. But I wouldn't properly identify it as "Gourmand".
