1969 Histoires de Parfums 2006

Acquired in the 15ml miniature as a kind of extra to another fragrance. After the rather mediocre judgments here I have already written him off - and planned to offer him immediately in the souk, perhaps a curious Parfuma zugreifen.

But miracles still happen, I am positively surprised.

Yes, peach, yes, slightly fermented, yes, a bit sultry, but 1969 doesn't get sticky in the process and can just pass for unisex. Cardamom and a bit of clove add spice (I think so too, that's where that fermentation impression comes from), the flowers hold back ...

But the biggest surprise for me is the coffee. In the drydown, it's a slightly unripe greenish spiced coffee with residual fruit.
Chocolate and musk support as warming ingredients, patchouli I hardly smell.

I've unsuccessfully tried a few coffee scents, many are too gourmand for me: Kilians Intoxicated is great made, but too heavy for me in the long run, Olfactive Studios Close up a bit fresher, but too cherry-sweet.
A*Men I found already at the time too sugary when it was launched. For others gladly ... who can get away with it. But not on me. But he could at least arouse interest in coffee as a prominent fragrance ingredient.

And now this nice surprise, I would not have suspected the coffee so perceptible, the subjective perception yet always strikes capers.

1969 holds out long, becomes more pleasant with the hours and does not impose itself too much (in the job probably nevertheless inappropriate, but that would be to check).

Conclusion: No masterpiece, but also no grip in the expected fermentation bucket.
