Cologne girls have beautiful names
"Tosca" is almost 100 years old. That alone requires respect. What perfume can say that of itself today, that alone shoots the fragrance into a selected circle. Even if the current version or even my test version from the 90s (?) probably has little to do with the original of 1921... But what can the feminine flagship of 4711?
"Tosca" is without doubt 4711 and looks like a more feminine version of the Cologne water, only with a more floral base. Green and grey and fresh. Dusted would be a nice way of putting it. It's a floral aldehydomi where every woman around me thinks of her grandmother. You don't like to hear that here and you don't have to mean anything at all, but these are experiences and opinions that can't be dismissed. "Tosca" is very classic and old-fashioned. A simple everyday fragrance from back then, affordable and refreshing. Once. He hasn't lost that character, and that's a good thing, because denying his roots and DNA is even worse than dusty and smelling like falling out of time. "Tosca" is fresh, light and summery, never of high quality and properly rusted. Sparkling or modern is zero here. Even a little pee-pee, old laundry and cleaning agents creep into the questionable fragrance experience. You might think the scent is about to tip over, but I'm almost sure that this is part of his pre-war character that you don't smell too often these days. A scent like a photo album. Nice, but past. But what could be nicer than remembering your grandmother? I don't believe much. And that alone still gives "Tosca" a raison d'être. And the labdanum at the base can be smelled.
Flacon: there are many, mine is unspectacular and typical 4711
Sillage & durability: inconspicuous and after less than 5 hours already away
Conclusion: a classic, but today very dusty and (not positive) out of time. Finding a woman under 30 who thinks "Tosca" is good will probably be a difficult undertaking in 2019..
