la vie en fourure

the ultimate hippie-chic perfume for fur-wearing ladies from the Taunus in 1978; clean and dirty at the same time, it truly reminds one of the scent of old furrier goods, when they were still so to speak 'politically correct' and unproblematic. chamomile, patchouli, and oakmoss play the leading roles here, the overall effect is completely different from many Bernard Chants of that time, which all somehow revolve around Aramis and/or cinnamon/clove. this is a classic chypre and in its combination with patchouli, unique. diluted, it makes a great ironing water (which I certainly do not mean disrespectfully)! the scent to the film 'Eyes of Laura Mars', in which Faye Dunaway plays the female version of Helmut Newton.

Very accurately described. Cinnamon, cloves, old furs, hippie vibe - everything I don't like in a scent today...

Yeah, I actually add my signature scent to the ironing water too ;-)

Don't let the witch read this, or she'll wipe out all the remaining stock!
