Homer, Amazons, and a Sheriff from New Mexico
8th century BC
Homer describes Amazons who went into battle like men.
1974
Clay fights Foreman
(.. I was allowed to watch with Dad at half past three in the morning. Since I was also socialized through football, it is probably thanks to my mom that I don’t drive through Austria’s toll roads shouting and cursing .. )
Nixon resigns, Schmidt follows Brandt.
Fittibaldi becomes world champion. Thöni, Stenmark, Klammer, and Rosi Mittermaier ski.
FC Bayern becomes champions. ( already back then mia san mia )
Abba wins with Waterloo.
The cuddly faction listened to Holm's "Tränen lügen nicht," while the leather jacket crowd listened to Nazareth with "This Flight Tonight."
The former danced in Elysium to Paul Anka's "Having My Baby," while the latter struggled with the fundamental understanding of Golden Earring's "Radar Love" and switched to Eric Clapton and his report of a murder of a sheriff who was supposedly from New Mexico.
The duffle coat wearers taught the common school folk that Terry Jack's "Seasons in the Sun" was a cover version of the one true Jacques Brel and his "Le Moribond."
However, the pre-Christian Amazons also made an appearance in the 70s.
They wore miniskirts and white patent leather boots and preferred to sit in the back seat of a Beetle rather than attend Saturday evening mass.
In 1974, Hermes launched its fragrance Amazone.
Nomen est omen? - .. bold, daring, ready for battle, combative, …?
Not at all.
Amazone starts mossy, plush, and green with gentle aromas of blackcurrant supported by hyacinths.
Even as it develops, the blackcurrant (that was the name of the deputy back then in New Mexico)
shows up, flanked by various flowers to merge into a soft, long-lasting base with sandalwood, iris
and a hint of cinnamon.
A Hermes fragrance that showcases the classic of Caleche (1961) and seamlessly transitions to Diva (83)
and 24, Faubourg (95), appearing youthful, exuberant, and subtly restrained while
still allowing the Amazon to flash through now and then when a hint of vetiver and noble wood wafts into the nose.
Companions of Amazons, gentle poets, and dark-humored Monty Python gentlemen would also find Amazone quite fitting.
Comment refers to a version from 1976.

Great shoes and clothes, the best music, and the absolute best perfumes. - It's a shame I didn't know that back then; otherwise, I would have probably stocked up on some vintage classics! ?
Except for the ellipsis about what happened in the back seat ;-)
I'm now even more excited for my upcoming tasting of my vintage minis :-)
I got the Amazon when I was 18... I found the name so tempting for the reasons you mentioned. However, I hardly wore it; it was a bit too chypre for me, and I thought it suited a more mature woman better. The bottle sat around three-quarters full for a long time until I gifted it to someone years later.
I have a distinctly different impression of Amazone. I don't find it youthful and carefree at all. For me, it's actually a scent for a confident (not necessarily mature) woman who knows how to assert herself, with its herbaceous-powdery base that never turns it into a floral, playful perfume.
