Le No. 9 by Cadolle: launched in 1926.
The luxurious Cadolle No. 9 was created as an answer to Chanel’s famous No. 5 perfume.
In 1989, this exquisite oriental perfume was reformulated and relaunched. The result was a powdery soft oriental fragrance that was available in both eau de parfum and eau de toilette forms.
So what does the reformulation smell like? It is classified as an oriental fragrance for women.
The firm is now known as the House of Cadolle and can be found at http://www.cadolle.com.
Cadolle No. 9 was still available in selected retailers in Europe up until around 2008. It is discontinued and fervently hunted by loyal fans of the legendary fragrance.

Shortly after, L’Oreal purchased Paquin, and Cadolle No. 9 was then purchased again by their namesake firm, Poupie Cadolle, Herminie's great-great-great granddaughter, who incorporated Cadolle Parfums in 1986.In 1989, this exquisite oriental perfume was reformulated and relaunched.
