Sympathizer
When I worked in the city of Salzburg back in the mid-nineties, a new colleague joined us.
Most people didn't like her because she wore too much makeup, was too loud with her fragrance, and wanted to be "good friends" with everyone too quickly.
At first, I secretly found her a bit too extroverted as well, but that changed when we discovered that we were both fans of this scent by Scherrer, and still are.
I had always held back a bit with perfumes at work, but she did not, so some things came off a bit too heavy, just not this SCHERRER.
This fragrance enchanted most of the people we encountered, as it was probably this combination of different notes, which I couldn't name myself (you can read about it here), that immediately drew people in with its charm.
I should also mention that we of course didn't wear Scherrer on the same day, and it smelled different on each of us anyway. She is a blonde, I was still dark-haired back then (now silver-gray), which probably contributed to the different scent perception.
I've lost touch with that colleague over time, but whenever I go to Salzburg, I think of her by wearing Jean Louis Scherrer. An extraordinary perfume, it hasn't lost any of its charm.

However, I'm sure it has been reformulated.
What do you think?
It's still wonderful and unmistakable - but not as deep, complex, and rounded anymore.
Somehow, it's surprisingly too loud for me now...
I found it more intimate and cozy in the 80s/90s, despite the crisp chypre.
