Gauloise Molyneux 1980 Eau de Toilette

After getting to know and love tobacco scents, and having become pain-free through increased exposure to EldO fragrances, I dared to approach an old treasure of mine that I have owned for about 15 years but never had the courage to test:
Gauloise by Molyneux.
The formerly great perfume house, which even dared to mock Chanel's No. 5 with a fragrance (Numero Cinq), actually had a scent of this name on the market in a cigarette box-style packaging. The extrait even took the shape of a flattened cigarette, in white with a blue band. Maybe I'll find a picture of it; if so, it will appear below.
I find the idea of using the name of the most French of all cigarette brands amusing - and typical of Molyneux.
Is the scent as the name promises?
Yes, but in a very muted form.
Initially, a fresh-sweet tobacco-like note comes through, although the top note must have certainly suffered due to its age.
The heart note is spicy-herbaceous and has a slight hint of peppermint, underpinned by floral notes that I cannot further decipher.
The base reveals a slightly piercing wood and possibly amber.
All in all, quite bearable, and by no means intrusive or typically feminine or masculine. It would not be a wallflower among niche fragrances today, but could certainly succeed in the wake of the tobacco note hype.
