great class, unfortunately lost

Medusa00 has already commented excellently on this forgotten masterpiece, there is nothing to add.

This fragrance was one of my mother's absolute favorites for years, and it was very rarely available in Germany; the former perfumery Thomas in Aachen was the only known source in NRW.

I found the following composition in my H&R fragrance atlas from the 80s:

Top notes: Peach, Raspberry, Bergamot, Aldehydes, Green note
Heart notes: Jasmine, Clove, Rose, Iris, Ylang-Ylang, Hyacinth
Base notes: Patchouli, Amber, Vetiver, Leather, Moss, Civet, Incense

The fragrance is described there as fruity, aldehydic, spicy, floral, balsamic, sweet, powdery.

A small remnant in the 240ml splash that I hold in my hands, although now tipped, still hints at the great class of this fragrance..... :-)
I would see it as an elegant light version of the grandiose 7e Sens by Rykiel. By the way, the house Durer, like Weil and Revillon, originally started as a fur manufacturing company.

I still have a decant of the lovely Lily, and it hasn't gone bad!
