Aunt Tosca is still posh!
Aunt Tosca is still posh!

Aunt Tosca is born in 1924, still fit in the head, but otherwise (due to age) a bit frail.
Aunt Tosca sleeps in linen bedding, which is still starched and taken to the hot mangle. White she must be, snow white! Colorful microfiber stuff does not enter her bedroom. She is afraid of bedding with animals on it.
Aunt Tosca has a private nurse who helps her with her personal hygiene, washing her at seven in the morning with a tart soap that smells citrusy and very clean. The nurse has to wash each finger separately.

Aunt Tosca wears only blouses with white collars and cotton underclothes, which also have to be starched and ironed.

Aunt Tosca never married and still lets herself be called Fraulein, although she was not at all Fraulein-like in her youth. After all, she used to be pretty and she did it with the Allies on the threshing floor after the war.

Aunt Tosca keeps a floor cosmetician, also economic help, who brings her once a week a bouquet of roses and carnations mixed. They must be only fragrant flowers, not sterile roses, which look beautiful but do not smell.

There is a jasmine bush blooming outside her window.

For her 90th birthday, she got a huge bouquet of flowers. Spring flowers, daffodils and daffodils. She dried it and it still stands on the Jugenstilanrichte, which she inherited from her mother.

Coffee is always served at 3:00 p.m. sharp. Every day there are vanilla buns. Even when there is an earthquake, they do not deviate from their routine
Once a week the antique furniture is polished with oil. There she knows nothing!

I have to close now, because exactly at 18.00 clock will eat dinner!

La vita e un opera
I know neither the opera of the same name, nor its content. The enchanting perfume all the better. Rather, it prompts me to give today times my thoughts on this rather inconspicuous and little noticed fragrance to the best.
I am currently in the process of extremely reduce my collection, what is not worn regularly, goes.
Tosca I had not put on for a long time, I dug it out.
It's an unexciting and simple bottle in the old version, which I've had for what feels like ages.
As is my way of describing fragrances without breaking them down...
My workday becomes a stage, the curtain rises, I play the lead,
the lighting is perfect, the dress fits like a glove, make-up and hairstyle
It's the best, it's the best.
The orchestra kicks in, a symphony of the finest flowers, aromas and elegance.
Nothing disturbs, nothing is too much or too little, powder and pollen, vanilla and violet, a little forest , a charming veil. Not screaming or intrusive.

I forgot I was wearing work pants and safety shoes, my hair hastily pinned together, and it's 6 a.m.

On any given day with Tosca, my life is an opera.
A dream.

A long dry spell
Switzerland suffers from a persistent "Tosca drought", as it is not available in local shops (why??). Fortunately, I am able to take a little stroll to Germany on foot every now and then to replenish my running out "Tosca stock". But with the borders closed during the Covid pandemic I literally sat on dry land! A dry spell began...

My always well-organized and pragmatic grandmother (who immigrated to Switzerland as a young woman from Germany) did not know such problems, her "Tosca stock" was always well stocked, even the powder in a mysterious turquoise tin was not missing. How so? If you lived in the Swiss Alpine region, it must have been difficult to get hold of Tosca? And shopping tourism or online shops did not even exist at that time! The solution to the mystery: just keep inviting your relatives from Germany and have them bring you the scent! Very clever.

That is why I was able to enjoy this flowery-powdery vanilla yet refreshing fragrance throughout my childhood. Tosca can easily compete with high-priced fragrances, for me even more beautiful than Chanel No. 5! While I have an on-off relationship with "Echt Kölnisch Wasser", my love for Tosca is pure and unclouded :-)

And then it lasts forever! It's just a fragrance for eternity.

The past is pretty real....
...at least in terms of a scent I know but haven't smelled yet. A vintage EdP from "Tosca". Made in the late '80s, early '90s. And DA hadn't reformulated the scent yet. I can clearly see that in comparison to a new batch.
A chypre fragrance that many a more expensive fragrance can only dream of. It is made in the classic manner of an (equally good) N°5, has a slight resemblance to it at first, but then develops quite differently later. After the citric-aldehyde start, the warm, earthy-vanilla "base" comes into contact with the light flowers from the very beginning, and manages the balancing act between fresh-flowery and ambry-powdery with irresistible class.
The newer batch smells very good, but in comparison to the "old" one it lacks a lot of enthusiasm and depth. The latter is a brilliant, not fading photo from the twenties of the last century. The "new one" a picture from the fast camera, which says goodbye already after few years slowly however surely...
A "contemporary witness" of an original fragrance, undamaged in its bottle, although "used"....

Olfactory nostalgia
In my memory, Tosca exists solely as "Omaparfum".

My grandmother only ever used three perfumes - cologne, Nonchalance and Tosca. Tosca was therefore an old-fashioned women's fragrance for me all my life, and it never occurred to me that I might like it almost three decades after my grandma's death.

By chance, I came across some positive reviews of Tosca on Parfumo and realized that this fragrance was available for a few thousand euros in the drugstore, so I spontaneously decided to buy a bottle. If only for nostalgic reasons, to smell my grandma's perfume again...

However, I have to admit that I like Tosca much better than I would have expected. Maybe it's because I'm no longer a child or a teenager, or even a young woman, but am fast approaching 50. Or maybe Tosca is simply not such a "granny fragrance" as many of us always think, precisely because grandma used to wear it all the time. Maybe she did back then because it's simply a great perfume...

After a citrusy-fresh start, Tosca develops a wonderful powdery-floral soap scent. And "soapy" is not meant in a negative way at all. It really smells like a really great, high-quality soap that is too good to wash your hands with and that you put between your laundry instead so that it always smells good. This powdery soap fragrance is perfectly complemented by a subtle spiciness of ambergris and patchouli and a warm, sweet hint of vanilla.

More than 25 years after I last smelled Tosca, I can't detect anything stale or old-fashioned about it. Rather, I smell a very solid, beautiful, floral everyday fragrance that has surprisingly good longevity and sillage for the price. I even find Tosca quite elegant and sophisticated. The image of a very well-groomed, pretty woman in a chic suit and matching leather handbag with pumps immediately comes to mind. One who still uses fabric handkerchiefs.

Just like my grandma back then...

The fragrance is really pure nostalgia and yet wearable in the here and now!

Her image needs a BOOST! Tosca EDP is a lovely perfume with outstanding quality and performance. Her heartbeat is the one Chanel no 5 lacks.
