Snuff Elsa Schiaparelli 1977 Eau de Toilette

So he must have been, the man of her dreams. The man in the imagination or in the real life of Elsa Schiaparelli. The man who touched her heart and awakened her desires. A strong shoulder to lean on. Masculine and charming. Confident and strong in spirit and soul. A man who dried her tears or made them flow. A man who could silence her with a single glance when she raged and boiled with anger. The man who was her equal in all situations. Who knew how to take her with skin and hair and all her quirks. A man who carried her tenderly-dominantly in safe hands. Perhaps she also wanted the perfect mix of her wishes and ideas. A gentleman, dandy, gigolo, or rebel. One who united everything she desired. She wanted the perfect man. And when she created Snuff, she had at least already created his aura with it.

The Fragrance
Snuff begins with a distinctive soapy lavender note. Slightly underlaid with an almost metallic bergamot that makes the top note appear cool and fresh. Very bright and fresh-soft, herbal-green accords further emphasize this introduction. After a while, Snuff begins to change. It becomes darker green in its projection and heart note. Nuances of pine and patchouli weave through the perfume. Earthy and ethereal-woody, Snuff glides into darker realms while still dragging the lavender note behind it. In its base note, Snuff subtly becomes smoky-leathery through oak moss and a very delicate incense note. Through a minimal vanilla accord, it also slightly shifts into a tobacco note. This note is not as easily perceived on the skin as it is on clothing. There, it is better recognized. The lavender also runs through Snuff from the top note to the end in the base like a red thread. It gives the fragrance lightness and freshness throughout its entire progression.

Conclusion
Snuff is a man through and through. He wears a large XY on his forehead. The chromosome set of masculinity. Unmistakably, unmistakably, and unmistakably male. He contains all the attributes that Elsa Schiaparelli must have wished for in a man. Snuff is tenderly-confident, masculine-marked, elegantly-charismatic, and subtly-dominant in his aura. He is never too loud and not too quiet in his sillage, and he is loyal and long-lasting in his durability. Snuff is a gentleman and a gigolo. A good friend and a romantic rebel. Snuff is the fragrance for me when I want to be a real man. Through and through. Snuff is the fragrance that positively underscores and brings forth all the attributes in me as a man. No unisex and no gender swap in the fragrance. Masculine, male, unfiltered, and pure. Whatever Elsa Schiaparelli thought when she created Snuff. This is how a man's fragrance should be or how it smelled,...He!

One cannot always be a hero, but one can always be a man.
