Old-fashioned but good

This was given to me by my Aunt who doesn't like wearing fragrances. I actually have the original bottle from the 40's and 50's. The perfume surprisingly has not gone off. Even though it is a mature scent, I often wear this to bed or around the house. It's a musty, woodsy scent with a slight green tartness. I'm probably making this scent sound horrible, but it really isn't that bad. I've certainly smelt worse.

Fantastic vintage

Whenever I see a bottle of this in a thrift store or antique mall, I snatch it right up. Such a gorgeous, earthy moss scent. There is a seriousness to it, definitely not for a girls night out or a seduction. It would however, make a wonderful signature for an intellectual or just someone with fashion taste on the side of classic/retro. I've watched the movie "Gosford Park" too many times and in the scenes where it's shooting party day I picture the ladies smelling like this in their tweed jackets and jodhpurs. Actually, I think this is the smell of that entire movie. Seriously evocative of an overcast day in the countryside.

1930s woody floral beauty

At an antique store today I happened upon vintage 3.5 Oz bottle titled Bouquet Lentheric-Tweed. It was going for a song and I noticed it was still quite potent for its age. I guess its from the late 40s or early 50s.

Its quite proper and refined. It is a splash and goes on easy. It has classic leather notes that play with real oakmoss and vetiver. The floral notes take a back seat and stroll comfortably though this autumn classic. There is nothing fancy or attention grabbing about Tweed. I suppose if I put this in a spray that would liven it up a bit. Its a smart everyday kind of scent that recalls an easygoing life.

I remember it most when my sister had a cream perfume and wore it at the height of the 1960's British invasion. I don't get the swinging London scene she was trying to capture. This is more Wind in the Willows.

The English Announcement!

At North Cothelstone Hall, the estate of Lord and Lady Hesketh-Fortescue, besides their youngest son Meredith, are also the cousins Priscilla and Gwyneth Molesworth from the neighboring villages of Middle Fritham and Nether Addlethorpe, as well as an uncle of Lady Hesketh-Fortescue, the 79-year-old Jasper Fetherstone, whose property Thrumpton Castle is currently rented to Lord Molesworth-Houghton, a cousin of Priscilla and Gwyneth Molesworth. Gwyneth Molesworth had procured a tie for Lord Hesketh-Fortescue in Nether Addlethorpe, but left it at Thrumpton Castle with Lord Molesworth-Houghton. Lady Hesketh-Fortescue suspects her husband of spending last weekend with Priscilla Molesworth in Middle Fritham. At the same time, Meredith Hesketh-Fortescue finds on a carriage ride with Jasper Fetherstone from Friddle. uh. Fiddle Mith...Middle Fritham to North Cothelstone Hall in Thrumpton Castle the tie from Nathel.. Naddle... Excuse me... Nether Addlethorpe...

Who doesn’t know the wonderful sketch: The English Announcement! (Evelyn Hamann)

Tweed immediately reminded me of it. It smells so damn English. A robust, soapy Chypre of the old class, which I can wonderfully imagine on a "Rottweiler," as Lady Di affectionately called them, or even on Princess Anne. Priscilla and Gwyneth Molesworth, as well as Lady Hesketh-Fortescue and her son Meredith, could also have enjoyed it.
~
The opening is herb-citrusy, but is softened by cinnamon and jasmine, drifting directly into a dry-soapy finish. A pleasantly unsweet floral bed spreads in the heart of the fragrance, but retains a slightly musty undertone throughout the entire scent journey. It somehow reminds me of the smell of an old laundry room, where clothes are also mangled and starched at the same time. Lavender and orange blossom water are sprayed on the laundry to scent it while smoothing. The soapy haze of the lye still lingers in the air.
There is no trace of floral frill, feminine nonsense, nor any freshness kick or cuddly effect. Tweed smells clean, but in a completely unfashionable way, very conservative and straightforward.
In the dry down, it convinces with a soapy-dry and charmingly mossy Chypre base. The longevity is excellent!
~
Conclusion:
This fragrance is very retro, very British, and totally conservative. All of this makes it somehow quirky and gives it a special charm. It pairs brilliantly with a tweed jacket and a great vintage briefcase. Of course, in combination with a crisp pair of jeans! I, for one, will wear it when I go pheasant hunting with Prince Charles.
~
It's definitely worth taking a sniff... um, excuse me, a whiff!
~
(Where to get it? Best to fish for it in the English bay.)
~
And I found this as well:
Tweed is a sensual woody floral fragrance with an emphasis on a dark, captivating rugged-woody mystique, with floral notes adding an intoxicating feminine touch. Despite its rich depth and mystery, Tweed is not too heavy or pretentious. The base is very seductive; neither sweet nor soft, more with a sense of perfect balance of natural essences. Described by Maryel Tweed in 1933.

1933 vs 1950s

I couldn't shake the fact that Risque tout was marketed as Tweed in the USA.
My testing indicates: from the 1950s onwards, the bouquet resembles Lenthéric (without "au") and the Tweed Cologne Spray very much resembles Risque tout, the English stiffness has faded away.
The Cologne starts warm and spicy like Risque tout. Sometimes, from the old Tweed, a grass blade or a fern frond pops up… Lavender, Neroli, and Ylang-Ylang smooth out the green notes.
Overall, the Cologne remains very balsamic, sandalwood-like, and it becomes just a tiny bit earthy with catkins.
One comfortably settles down on the leather couch and chats. Oakmoss and vetiver provide a perfect backdrop.
A bit of the original Tweed has been preserved in the version from the 1950s, fundamentally the post-war Tweed is warm(-hearted) and spicy.
