Thief of the night
If the little word "if" and "would have" had not been left in the sorrow box.
But that's just the way things are. Great things from the American East Coast were robbed of their potential establishment as a reference.

After a long, long time, I was able to test this fine tobacco fragrance again.

Sizzle!
A deep green opening, quite dignified modulating the bergamot, which smells ripe and tart.
It is supported by rosemary and slightly liqueur-like artemisia.
The direction is clear, an elegant fragrance for cooler days.

Suddenly it becomes gently powdery amidst dignified woods of warm grains.
Vanilla resins, opopnax and benzoin with a hint of myrrh fall like gentle snowflakes to glaze the woods, sandalwood foremost, in a slightly rubbery way.
A daring balancing act for the men's segment, as this oriental style is more popular in elegant women's fragrances.

But tanned dry tobacco leaves turn the steering wheel around.

So tobacco should always be incorporated!

Heavenly thunderstorm again!

Not too sweet, not coarsely smoky, simply high quality conjured up from a fine wooden box.

The invisible companion is the shadow of a civet, gossamer, whispering.

His breath leaves behind a hint of attractive musk.

I don't even want to know who was a stowaway in one of these elegantly purist travel bags by leather virtuoso Mark Cross, only to rob me of sleep in the evening.

Because this oriental woody tobacco scent should seduce instantly!

What Habit Rouge Eau de Toilette could have been to the French, this rascal could have been to the Americans.
On our side of the puddle, there is a tension chord of vanilla resins and leather, over there it would have been softer tobacco.
Both fragrances are united by the daring of the sweet threshold, in order to nevertheless succeed in their respective ways in a tartly striking way.
And compared to today's overdrive of the base towards over-sugaring and filleting the olfactory organ, these treasures remain pleasantly rounded.

By the way, our Tabac Original Eau de Toilette should sing along cheerfully here, just as an aside. Says the garden gnome with the gold arrow bag.

Well, the Amis bottle was unfortunately not an elegant appearance. I see it more in the practical after-shave splash section of large drugstores à la Walgreens and CVS. Well, not quite so rudimentary, JCPenney would have done as well.
But something like that could be corrected quickly.

What remains unforgivable, however, is the scrapping of this masterpiece.
Decades later, we were taught better after the confectioners took over.

Out of spite, I am now watching "The Window to the Courtyard" by Alfred Hitchcock again.
in 1954, Mark Cross, or rather the company's talent, designed one of the most elegant bags for Grace Kelly.

A swish of the congenial juice and then wait to see who'll twist your neck.

Hehehe
