the woman from Gaul
The fragrance starts herbal-citrusy-fresh with a very pleasant combination of bergamot, coriander, and hyacinth, one with nature and with a watchful eye.
Rose and tuberose blend wonderfully into the bouquet of lily of the valley and jasmine, with balanced facets: sometimes one side flashes, sometimes the other side of the characters emerges, but never loud or brash, always in harmony with the bouquet itself.
A brittle charm settles on the sandalwood swing and dangles its feet above the vetiver grass. The evening breeze brings a hint of nutmeg. A few aldehydes still dance in the dim moonlight. The moss smells earthy and green (…. and far and wide no vanilla in sight).

After about 5 hours, I am embraced by an amber-colored, warm-spicy, slightly leathery chypre that develops towards Tabac Blond and Knize Ten.
Now the winking parallel to the cigarette brand reveals itself to me, to neutralize the unpleasant smell of cigarette smoke.

This fragrance envelops the gentle fighter in the urban jungle and in the pampas like a protective aura.

Fumeuse francaise
After getting to know and love tobacco scents, and having become pain-free through increased exposure to EldO fragrances, I dared to approach an old treasure of mine that I have owned for about 15 years but never had the courage to test:
Gauloise by Molyneux.
The formerly great perfume house, which even dared to mock Chanel's No. 5 with a fragrance (Numero Cinq), actually had a scent of this name on the market in a cigarette box-style packaging. The extrait even took the shape of a flattened cigarette, in white with a blue band. Maybe I'll find a picture of it; if so, it will appear below.
I find the idea of using the name of the most French of all cigarette brands amusing - and typical of Molyneux.
Is the scent as the name promises?
Yes, but in a very muted form.
Initially, a fresh-sweet tobacco-like note comes through, although the top note must have certainly suffered due to its age.
The heart note is spicy-herbaceous and has a slight hint of peppermint, underpinned by floral notes that I cannot further decipher.
The base reveals a slightly piercing wood and possibly amber.
All in all, quite bearable, and by no means intrusive or typically feminine or masculine. It would not be a wallflower among niche fragrances today, but could certainly succeed in the wake of the tobacco note hype.

Not really my thing, there's a musty note to it. But it could also be because the scent is almost 40 years old.

Great herbal chypre, but the top note is a bit off, though it doesn't really matter. Feels a bit out of time.

How cool is that? Named after the most famous cigarette brand, it smells like "unfiltered" on a perfumed beauty!
