A "real" perfume…..
Durer is one of those magnificent vintage fragrances for which my heart would be quite inclined to pay the exorbitant eBay prices that are sometimes called for ……
Durer is a "real" perfume……and by "real" I mean deep, full-bodied, intoxicating, sensual, excellently composed, and of extraordinary sophistication…….not to mention it is made with all sorts of ingredients that one could potentially die from nowadays (according to IFRA) ;-P…….
Although it is fundamentally a floral chypre, there is still a distinctly noticeable leather nuance that gives the fragrance both substance and depth, while simultaneously protecting it from "blümerant" excesses…..essentially, the floral aspect is hardly noticeable…..
Everything in Durer tends to be dark…..the flowers, the barely perceptible fruity notes, the moss, the deep-dark green galbanum, and last but not least the almost smoky-balsamic and wonderfully "real-woody" base……
Despite the aldehydes, there is nothing clean-soapy to be detected here…..on the contrary……DURER exudes a sultry-lascivious and velvety-animalic aura that still comes across as polished and exceptionally noble……
Terra mentions TABAC BLOND as a comparison……and I can certainly understand that……Durer smells different, but creates a strikingly similar scent atmosphere……
If this fragrance were still available for regular purchase, I wouldn't hesitate for a second……

Durer should be sold in Nuremberg at the Dürer House, in the Handwerkerhof, and at the GNM shop.
I can imagine that the scent is quite multifaceted. A vintage chypre that’s right up your alley. And then a full 10 points... And now we have a problem... glorious scent, but it’s no longer available. That’s a real shame... for dear Susan... :@))
You’ve gone against your principles... :@))
