Azurēe Estēe Lauder 1969

The pure, white queen
Gres’ Cabochard, Balmain’s Jolie Madame and Clinique’s Aromatics Elixir come to mind when spraying this marvellous scent. I love the purity of all of them - to some a bit harsh, chalky and synthetic but to me clean and pure. I bet I could wear three days’ clothes and still feel I just came out of the shower.
In one way or another, I just seem to find this one better than the others. I checked the notes and see that there are differences but it does not actually explain my preference. Anyway, I have all four fragrances so I do not need to worry.
My mum used to wear Jolie Madame, and I remember that when she did I found that she smelled of flowers. Later I found out that it was the Gardenia note that I could smell. In Azurée it is the same. Apart from the aldehydes and the leather I get a rather strong Gardenia note. Just lovely! The dry-down is even better. Patchouli and leather for several hours. So warm and cozy.
Bernard Chant did a great job with this one. Magnificent sillage and longevity - a scent you want to go on and on…
17/365
