Berlin Fashion Czar
At every "Berlinale" of the post-war period, one met models by Heinz Oestergaard; every woman, every star there wanted to be seen in a gown by him.
This smart gentleman became Germany's fashion czar of his time.
Not only Maria Schell and Zarah Leander, no, later also the customers of the large mail-order house "Quelle", gladly wore his dressy, ladylike fashion.
(Incidentally, after 1971 also the police; the from then green service dress drew Heinz Oestergaard)
I can still remember hearing his name over and over again as a child, and my astonishment when I saw it written for the first time: "Östergart" - which I understood - sounded a little bit different!
I only learned that there were fragrances under his name when I got the flacons from the "estate trash" of a deceased neighbor from her sister. (I reported about it.)
I was very amazed: but why actually?
Have but fashion designers for a long time their own fragrance lines and no one thinks anything about it!
So why not Heinz Oestergaard!
After I had cleaned all the flacons, which apparently stood for decades in the very back of the laundry compartment of a closet, I of course had to try what I have "inherited".
Unlike the other fragrances, "Oestergaard" put me but something on the test:
There is no information about it; so now it must once again fix my nose.
Temporally, I would assign the Eau de Toilette "Oestergaard" to the late sixties, rather still early seventies.
The Flacon seems simple, but is just thereby tasteful and elegant.
It houses a fresh, slightly floral "everyday fragrance", which is still very appealing today and would certainly have its friends.
Well-dosed lemon and bergamot aroma forms the prelude - pleasantly fresh and interspersed with some "green". By the slightly peppery nuance I would guess bergamot.
That would also not be unusual in this fresh combination, but does not have to be.
Because also with "Oestergaard" Eau de Toilette the wheel was of course not reinvented.
A pretty floral bouquet follows this light entrée; not huge or dominating: no, just fitting to a fresh fragrance with level.
I perceive roses, not the heavy ripe variety, but rather something lighter, and of course the scent of the wonderful white jasmine. (Which, like lily of the valley, I can never get enough of.)
Something subtle and spicy was also tied into this pretty handy bouquet: Carnations, so well-behaved and staid yet so delightful with their inverted ballet skirt-like blooms, it might well be.
Finishing off this charming fragrance being sandalwood, possibly patchouli and something mossy: whether oakmoss, I'm not sure.
Everything here is round and successful; so completely according to the motto: "Spray on and carefree enjoy the day!"
I can imagine "Oestergaard" well as a faithful companion for a few hours, for example, after sports, shopping or simply in the office; only for the winter I do not see him.
Once again, I find that the neighbor, whom I knew only as a very neat old lady (she would probably have turned 80 this year), is nevertheless brought quite close to me by her fragrances.
She must have been a stylish woman with that "certain something" at a time when we had not yet met.
So I came to a pleasant fragrance, which is like the fashion of Heinz Oestergaard was at that time: dressy, with a touch of elegance!
