Among the various types of perfumes, the "theatrical" ones are my favorites.
To avoid misunderstandings, I am not referring to categories like "Fougere, Gourmand, or Chypre," etc. But rather to the nature of their presentation. There are the "Linear" ones, which are sprayed into the world with a big bang and remain unchanged within it, only to finally fade away unchanged at some point. Or the "classic three-parters," which dutifully burn through their built-in countdown: top, heart, and base.
And then there is the theater on the back of the hand - I count "Henry Cotton's In Red" among these. On the stage, characters appear, often in unexpected order, and have their dealings and interactions with one another. Depending on the piece presented, this is by no means a chaotic or random affair, and something like the division into three or five acts will always be comprehensible. Just like in the music hall, where everyone is always in agreement, it will not be the case in a proper drama.
As for the cast in "Henry Cotton's In Red," the fragrance note directory above provides that information. There is no plot development here. Just the beautiful observation that the piece presents itself a little differently each time, every day. Didn't the leather type (who isn't even listed) have a dramatic scene with Lady Rose yesterday, causing quite a stir? And today, she is so cool towards him, yet now so playfully flirtatious with Miss Alpine Violet?
Let everyone draw their own conclusions. However, the show is not entirely family-friendly - and is clearly aimed at men. Strong, but not loud. A clear, direct address, no flattery - but in no way boorish. The piece is unfiltered and witty. With a self-assured woman, it must be a hit.
There is little information to be found about the perfume line of Henry Cotton's (though I haven't made a research project out of it). Clearly a textile merchant who indulged in a perfume triplet in 1989 and hit the jackpot. Later, there were a few sparse attempts to build on that, but the results seem to have been disappointing - I am not familiar with them.
So, now comes the bad news: those interested must hurry very, very much. The species extinction has actually long since occurred (the moon prices testify to that), but from time to time, a specimen still appears in affordable innocence.
The other two - "Henry Cotton's In Green" and "Henry Cotton's In Blue" - are brother pieces in spirit. I have miniatures of them, but they have retreated into the untraceable depths of distant boxes. However, the memory of them made me acquire "In Red."
I am already looking forward to the next performance.
