The unexpected often happens
I got this great fragrance from a very kind and generous perfumer, thank you so much Barbara, you are the BEST.

It was in a package that contained a beautiful fragrance that I bought and the big surprise was THIS HERE, which was also still in it.

The fragrance starts off very full-bodied, I have no idea what I'm smelling, but immediately afterwards it takes a twist into the realm of summer flowers, finely tuned with jasmine, which doesn't smell stuffy and heavy (which is sometimes the case, but not here) but instead rushes through fresh and breezy, accompanied by something "white-flowery" that comes out a little more pompous, but still within tolerable limits, because then something comes to light that I would describe as woody, but which is also not listed, but I like it.

I can smell the rose faintly, but it is more of a hidden scent, not as present as others might perceive it.

I consider this water to be more of a chypre fragrance, at least that's what my unprofessional nose says - although it says otherwise. Even if it's not vintage (at least that's what I assume), it still smells like one, hence my association with chypre.

My bottle looks exactly like the one in the picture, but it says PARFUM DE TOILETTE.
I don't know if that had any effect on the fragrance notes. In any case, there are many more and different ones included than are listed here.

It may smell a little old-fashioned, but I like that, and after testing it several times, I can say that this fragrance will definitely be one of my favorites.

The powdery notes do come out a little, but only at the very end and only very slightly. A beautiful fragrance, smells much more expensive than it costs, a treasure that came to me completely unexpectedly and now greatly enriches my collection.

"Sandalism" - A flower motif
Once again I get to know a fragrance that has long gone down in the annals of the unfortunately discontinued fragrances. And "inherited" it from my mother's sister who moved. And discovered all sorts of perfumes while clearing them out. She herself uses only "her" a scent, and so I took the good pieces "in care" and am very happy about the great "treasures".
As the second after the "old Tosca", I have now taken on "L'Aimant" from the "perfume king" Francoise Coty, which he composed together with Vincent Roubert.
And WHAT's going up my nose is very "classic" and very interesting. It is flowery, finely woody and powdery, but in a special way that I like it very much and how it only occurs in real retro fragrances. Quite simply because the ingredients have not yet been "censored" and have not yet been reformulated.
What particularly strikes me here is the soft radiation of the scent, which can only be achieved with a lot of real sandalwood. An almost powdery reverberation framing the roses and jasmine, possibly carnation and definitely iris, like a nobly designed picture frame an excellently depicted flower still life of a painter of earlier times.
Although shelf life and sillage are very good, the scent of L'Aimant is never intrusive. It accompanies as a pastel-colored "cloak" throughout the day, is wearable at any time of year and on many occasions and would probably inspire not only Luca Turin and Tanja Sanchez (authors of some well-researched perfume description books).
It is a wonderful witness of past perfume art and a "feast" for the nose.
