Empreinte Perfume by Courreges, Become spellbound by the rich and illuminating Empreinte, a dazzling women’s fragrance by Courreges. This tantalizing perfume blends floral, woody and earthy accords for an altogether stunning concoction that is sure to have heads turning from every direction. Top notes of plump peach, shimmering bergamot, green artemisia, spicy coriander and various aldehydes introduce the scent with a sweet and spicy mix that’s a perfect balance. Middle notes of juicy melon, soft rose, night-blooming jasmine and delicate blue iris incorporate a decadent bouquet that’s highly feminine and chic. Finally, base notes of golden amber, Virginia cedar, castoreum, oakmoss, heady patchouli and Indian sandalwood wrap up the entire fragrance in a sultry, warm essence that’s pleasing to the senses.



The creative nose behind this 1970 masterpiece is Robert Gonnon, working under the supervision of the French fashion designer Andres Courreges. The brand has been successful for decades, selling ultra modern fashions and over 25 unique and delectable fragrances. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

Hey everyone, Rachel here. And today, I'll be reviewing on Empreinte by Courreges-- a woody, herbal scent for women. I think this one is really great as a spring or fall scent for either day or night. The scent for me opens with aldehyde, coriander, and oat moss. These notes are supported by strong notes of castoreum, artemesia, patchouli, and bergamot. As well as notes of jasmine, rose, sandalwood, iris, peach, melon, and amber. Well, that's all for today. I hope you enjoyed this review. Don't forget to follow FragranceX on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat, and don't forget to subscribe to us on YouTube.

Amazing perfume!!

This perfume is absolutely wonderful! It's a lighter version of Clinique Aromatic Elixir - just a bit softer and the price on this website makes it even more pleasing!

Pretty good

Reminds me of Chantilly. Not as sweet or strong but has a nice spicy scent. If you dont want to spend a lot and don't mind a bit of spice, this isn't bad at all.

I love this fragrance

I have used Empreinte for years, I love it and always receive many compliments when using this fragrance. I always purchase Eau de Parfum since the strength is quite weak which means a lot of re applying. However the price is so good that I don't mind.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Lovely fresh fragrance

Always receive compliments when wearing this fragrance, particularly if I've just sprayed myself. I used it years ago in the 70's! I'm sure it was stronger then and longer lasting. I buy the Eau De Parfum strength which is the most concentrated - shame there isn't a pure perfume

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Not even close to original from 70s

I cannot determine by packaging whether it's knockoff or not but smell is not even close to original perfume from 70s. Probably attributed to different manufacturing process as many ingredients used 40 years ago cannot be used now.

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

I love yesterday's perfumes

This is one of the best in my perfume collection. I love old style perfumes. It is long lasting, once I spray on my skin in the morning, I feel it all day along, and I love it.To me Empreinte is better for cold weather. I can compare this fragrance with Sikkim, Ellipse, Jai Ose, similar style, which I love much.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Wonderful fresh fragrance

I use this fragrance very day and am so often complimented. Unfortunately it doesn't hold and needs reapplying frequently it's hard to believe its classed as "Eau de Parfum" because the strength is mor "Eau de Toilette" I used Empreinte many years ago in the 70's and certainly remember it was stranger and longer lasting.. However I still love it and just make sure I always carry it with me to reapply.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Awesome perfume!!!!!!

I first bought Empreinte when I was traveling in 1979 in Paris. I went inside a fragrance shop on the main street and was testing several fragrances. I decided to buy Empreinte and they also gave me a sample to take with me. I loved the smell of this new fragrance I had never heard of, etc. When I got back to California, I couldn't find the fragrance anywhere so I asked and was told to try a shop on Post Street. To make a long story short, I shopped there until they didn't carry it anymore. I found Fragrancex.com and discovered my favorite perfume was there. Thanks Fragrancex for carrying my favorite perfume.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Empreinte Courreges is my favorite perfume I am wearing it every day, once in a shopping centre a lady stopped me to ask what perfume I am wearing and most of my friends asked me to write down for them the name as it is hard for them to get the name, anyway I am so Happy with this Perfume and I will always use it.

I won't buy from anywhere else

I am using my prefume daily, and I liked this perfume when my brother visited our family from Italy and he brought it to me as a gift, since then I was looking for this perfume all over the world, once a friend of mine went to France and bought it for me, I was so excited and I bought on line 3 bottles for the price of one from France, so from now on I know the way how to place an order on line and save huge money. Thanks FrangraceX.

omg I've finally found it!

I found Empreinte in the 80's when I was 20 years old and then I went to Paris to the Courreges store and found it there. I've been wearing this scent for over 30 years now and it is exquisite! I haven't been able to find it for many years until I found out about Fragrance X. I'm so happy they have it. Everyone asks what I'm wearing. It is a fragrance that is classic, and I wear it everyday.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Empriente Perfume

I first purchased this fragrance back in 1979 while on vacation with my brother and his wife in Belgium. We went to Paris, France and I decided to shop in a perfume shop and that's how I found this awesome fragrance that I absolutely love. I was having a hard time trying to buy it after I got back home. I used to purchase it from a shop in San Francisco, but they weren't able to get it anymore. So I decided to give Fragrancex.com a try. I'm glad I did. I'm happy they carry this fragrance. Finally I have this great smelling scent to wear again.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

My sister used Empreinte during many years. She loved the perfume. But now we buy it again at FragranceX, the pefume we received was not the one we knew so well! We pay customs, taxes etc... and, at last, received something so far from our wishes! Completly disappointed! Be carefull before buy it: I don´t know if changes the formula or ...

Unforgettable....

This is the most unforgettable fragrance that I've ever worn and I've worn many... I was introduced to it by a very chic young French woman (named Helene also!)who was studying in Spain with me back in the 80's. I have not found another fragrance that has this same appeal to me--it's sophisticated, chic, elegant and yet everday wearable. I wish I had bought extra bottles during my last trip to Paris in 2008--if it was still around. I bought my last bottle in 2005.

Best perfume ever

This is my favorite perfume of all time. Yes, it reminds me of my very chic friend Helene who wore it and introduced it to me. But it's been over 30 years, I still come back to it and can't find another signature fragrance that I like better. It's fresh and fun but also sexy and exciting! I always get a thrill when I wear it! Like one of the reviewers said "You'll love it forever."
