Typical 70s...
...is already evident in the bottle design.
Orange was quite "in" back then - often combined with brown tones or yellow. (An even clearer example would be the old "Magie noire"). Much was designed in these colors: "Die Sendung mit der Maus" (which I enjoyed watching), fashion and everyday items of that time, and apparently, Berlin Tegel Airport was built during this period, judging by the architecture... My childhood was in the 70s, yet these three colors are completely taboo in my wardrobe; I prefer cool tones in other areas of life as well. However, I find the nostalgic 70s charm of the Ravissa bottles quite appealing.
With the scent, the typical oakmoss note of the time initially hits my nose (unfortunately), but I only catch a brief whiff of it. Then follows a spicy-autumnal fragrance that displays floral and coniferous facets at times. Not as green-herbaceous or bitter as some others from that era, but also not sweet.
Unfortunately, a slight plastic note clouds my enjoyment of these old treasures, both in the EDT and the Extrait. Perhaps a sign of age... Who isn't affected by it?
