Classique

This is Maison Dorin-not Dorin-one, if not the only one, having its own museum.
It was founded by Mademoiselle Montasier ( real name Marguerite Brunet) in 1780.
It is a long and adventurous history surrounding the House, but I will go straight to the presentation of this perfume.
The first spray and...nothing! I was shocked because I knew that the House is using the best raw materials from Grasse, Turkey, the Middle East. And , all of a sudden, flashes of yellow, white, light pink scents showed up and kept pulsating, like a heart. Jasmine and heliotrope; jasmine and a light rose; and a glimpse of narcissus. You just want to sit and follow this developpment.
The real musk in the base, and some darker tones , like earthy, come to life. Everything is so well rounded and elating!
The longevity is good but the sillage is shorter than expected. Nevertheless, this is a great classique.

From the Chamber of Versailles

Un Air de Paris was created back in 1886, when the Dorin company had already been supplying the court of Versailles for over a hundred years, since 1780 (I was still very young back then, like a chick!).
And as one can easily gather from the fragrance, the residents of Versailles knew a thing or two about powdering.
I have smelled and enjoyed many powdery scents, as I am a big fan of powder and all things powdery, but this fragrance surpasses them all by far.
It reminds me of a powder compact that I once found in an old handbag of my grandmother's, from Coty, around the 1940s. The powder smelled exactly like this.
Slightly dusty, a bit sweet, somewhat cough-inducing, naturally powdery and rosy, and above all - like a beautiful woman.
I don't know why, but as a child, I thought all beautiful women smelled like this powder. I have encountered this or at least a very similar scent a few times in my life, and each time the image of a woman with a grand gown, dark curly updo, and lots of pale makeup, but with a small red cherry mouth appeared before my mind's eye.
Certainly not everyone's cup of tea nowadays, but unbeatable retro.

starts cool-green-distant and becomes increasingly warmer, powdery.... it’s as if the fragrance opens its floral-feminine heart.. enchanting!

With this, I feel like I'm in the 50s, with a cheeky little hat and fishnet stockings. Just a hint of dusty, powdery galbanum green, soft flowers.

For me, it's a rather classic floral perfume with moderate sweetness and a sandalwood-cream base. Only the galbanum in the top note adds a bit of edge.
