1933 vs 1950s
I had no peace about the fact that Risque tout was marketed as Tweed in the USA.
My testing says: from the 1950s onwards, the Bouquet Lenthéric (without "au") and the Tweed Cologne Spray are very similar to Risque tout, the English stiffness has given way.
The cologne starts warm and spicy like Risque tout. Sometimes a blade or two of grass and a fan of ferns emerge from the old tweed... Lavender, neroli and ylang-ylang smooth out the green tips.
Overall, the cologne remains very balsamic, sandalwoody and a tiny bit earthy with catkins.
You settle down comfortably on the leather couch and chat. Oak moss and vetiver provide the perfect backdrop.
A little of the original tweed has been preserved in the version from the 1950s onwards; basically, post-war tweed is and remains warm (and hearty) and spicy.
