An 80s Fragrance with Plump 70s Femininity
sorry Camey,
but I must absolutely disagree with you. I don't smell anything that even remotely leans towards a masculine direction. Based on your description, I bid on a rare specimen on Ebay and I'm really stunned by how you go from Alpha 1 to BOSS 1?
Yes, it's true that this is truly a knockout fragrance dated back to 1980, but in reality, it's a true 70s scent. Where natural femininity was emphasized by such lush fragrances (that would be something for mini-golf). Characteristic of the 80s was that the boyishness in femininity was allowed to come to the fore and the feminine in men was no longer a source of embarrassment. Ziggy Stardust, New York Dolls, The Sweet, Alice Cooper, and many more celebrated the feminine side of men as stars on stage in the 70s, and in the 80s, it transitioned into the fashion mainstream. However, the 70s were extremely feminine, characterized by (for example) "Flower Power," cosmetics, Playboy (the image of women by men), and miniskirts - so were the fragrances. For men with thick sideburns and tight slacks, there was aftershave.
It opens with an opulent sea of flowers, perhaps lily, carnation, rose, lily of the valley?
Alpha 1 by Aubry swims in an egg-vanilla liqueur, very intoxicating and it extends and then transitions into a feminine-soapy scent. This is how the secretly sniffed ladies' restrooms used to smell with all their soaps and scented waters.
The floral-soapy-liqueur note remains dominant and lasts all day. No need for re-spraying.
Truly an alpha female in the 80s pack, without shoulder pads, carrot pants, and baggy hairstyles.
