COLD RETRO FLORAL
In times of war, a chamade was a drumbeat or trumpet call signaling the enemy, often to propose terms or deliver a message. In the same way, this perfume is more than a scent. It is a declaration, a powerful feminine statement created for those who march to the beat of their own drum.
Vintage Pure Parfum (Extrait):
- The fragrance opens with a green, powdery burst dominated by galbanum.
- Subtle aldehydes add a soft nuance without overwhelming.
- Clean white florals appear, abstract and cold, far from hyper realistic.
- The initial impression is oily and green, carrying a chill that feels unwelcoming.
- The drydown reveals a bitter, powdery amber note, old fashioned...
- It is strong, clean, sharp, and attention grabbing.
Regrettably, the overall character feels extremely dated, making it difficult to wear casually in a modern setting. Still, it holds great value in a collection, much like a vintage book or work of art.
In some ways, this scent feels related to Vol de Nuit Extrait , though it comes across as a more clean and modernized version. Personally, I still prefer Vol de Nuit, even though that one is more bitter green and carries heavier vintage powder. Chamade falls somewhere in between, neither fully here nor there.
