Example of the Innocent Side of the 70s
In the 70s, I worked in the field for a subsidiary of Juvena. Now and then, a conference would take place in Baden-Baden, and we had the opportunity to find treasures in the staff purchasing. These were mostly items that were being discontinued or had minor defects or slight damage to the packaging. At that time, Juvena distributed Gainsboro. Well, that's not entirely accurate, as the brand was still called Gainsborough back then. An atomizer from Silver Line was always part of my haul. Then the fragrance disappeared, and I never expected to come across it again until I stumbled upon it on eBay. You can surely understand why I jumped at the chance.
When I opened the package, I had a terrible premonition: The box was damaged. Still without an EAN and certainly without any declaration. The atomizer still contained propellant - may the ozone layer forgive me. But I suppose this circumstance is what allowed the fragrance itself to survive the decades unscathed.
Silver Line rightly bears its name. It is a cool, bright, elegant scent, whose aura slightly resembles a tamed No.5. A fragrance perfect for everyday use back in the field, discreet and self-assured, without excessive sillage, and for perfume lovers who adore the extraordinary and distinctive, perhaps a tad too innocent. For me, it is a gentle, aldehydic all-rounder, with which I always felt safely and appropriately perfumed when with clients. Silver Line is a good example that not only blockbuster fragrances were on the market in the 70s, and it certainly does not belong to the flower power or patchouli scents.
I was delighted to experience it once again, but since I try not to let my collection overflow for nostalgic reasons, I am happy to fill sample sizes for interested perfume enthusiasts. The limitation must, however, be: While supplies last, because as you can see in the photo below, the amount of content cannot be seen. But I think it will last for a while yet.
