The Bare-Breasted Lady and the Tiger
Who or what is Anjou? Unfortunately, there is not much to find out, but Anjou was a true Argentine! Certainly, there were branches in major cities on the American continent, such as New York, but the origin was in Argentina. The bottles all had the same shape - they resemble a cut gemstone.
The advertisement for Devastating was quite daring for its time. A naked, or at least bare-breasted, lady is lustfully embraced by a tiger. A photo would have been too bold, so it was "softened" a bit through a drawing.
The scent itself is a fully-fledged chypre of the greenest kind, with a strong animalistic undertone.
Immediately after the aldehydes at the start, it begins to bloom green, but these blooms have no sweetness; instead, they are caught from the very beginning by moss and musk. Identifying any flower here is nearly impossible.
The spices thrown into the mix also contribute green notes - I would guess cardamom and allspice. Perhaps there was once a version with amber, but my test version does not contain this warm, sweet, and gourmand note.
On the contrary, it is a very animalistic musk that seems to have been used here.
It is a surprisingly well-made chypre that could very well come from a French house. It is elegant and feminine and should be a delight for chypre lovers.
Perhaps they will then start singing "I'm a tiger, I'm a - tiger, I'm a tiger, I'm a - tiger r r r r r....
