Cinnamon oakmoss 80s masterpiece

Whatever you do, if you plan on buying a bottle of Halston Z-14 please make sure it's a vintage bottle. The current version is nothing short of embarrassing. Thank you IFRA. I hope your building burns to the ground for what you people are doing to perfumery. Anywho i just picked up a vintage bottle of Z-14 and it's simply a masterpiece with that sharp cinnamony spicy opening. Lots of notes in this one and they all compliment each other beautifully. The sillage and longevity are fabulous. I swear i could rock this every day. I fondly remember my dad splashing this on back in the late 1970s and i fell in love right there. I really can not say enough about it except that the price for the vintage juice is well under $50!! Definitely a steal. If you are interested in anything made in the 60s 70s 80s and 90s, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS go the vintage route. IFRA be damned!!

Absolutely correct. IFRA should be banished from existence. Who the hell pays those unelected bureaucrats and what is their real mission??? My theory is they are a marxist organization who are socially engineering all of the great things of the past, out of existence. They don't want people knowing or remembering how great things were back in the day, so they are DESTROYING the past. They say they are removing the natural ingredients and replacing them with chemicals for health reasons. LIARS!!!

Not really correct. As a perfumer i can say IFRA exists for a reason. And the regulations they put out are perfectly reasonable, the thing is, companies wanna save up before making a proper reformulation, even if it costs 50 cents more. And they save up and give these bs reformulations. Not IFRAs fault.
Non rectified birch and cade tars are carcinogenous, oakmoss and treemoss without compliance and in such high amounts are highly allergenous, spices like clove, cinnamon, peppermint, cardamom and pepper, whether synthetic or natural, can cause chemical burns if used in a higher amount to the IFRA regs. Musks need regulation because of several reasons, mostly for protecting wildlife and avoiding the use of animal origin products in perfumery. Some naturals are even phototoxic, meaning that if you expose to light the skin impregnated with the material, it's going to cause a very serious wound and bloating of the area. So, not really IFRA's fault, y'know
