Ancient Fougère with Icy Manners..
... and in an ancient vintage splash bottle, no less. How about that! Yes, it smells wonderful, it's something for "herb-fresh lovers" who enjoy clove, cumin, and marine notes. It also doesn't have any "shower gel" undertone, which didn't even exist when "Nerval" was released! As "ancient" as it is, some of today's "men's" perfumes could take a thick slice from it.
There's nothing to be found in the way of "sweet" or "gourmand" here.. perhaps the slight musk edge could be interpreted by some "sweet-sensitive" noses with a lot of imagination!
And, to get back to my headline, it also becomes really "icy" in scent, like glacial water or northern fjords. There are also dry-green "fern" scents, moss, lichens, "boreal forest wood," and possibly thyme in "mint-fresh"..
This raises a "good question" for me... "Why are such cool 'waters' discontinued? Or, if they still exist in their basic structure, why are they marketed thin and colorless, as a 'skeleton of themselves'?"
There's no need to argue about scent preferences. But about their versions!!!!

"Wonderful Years,...
...we were young, we were free..."
Yes, I did it! No Botox, no hyaluronic ointments,
no other "miracle cures" for eternal youth! No, I found Musk men free on eBay, OVP, for a moderate price. The last purchase was probably 30 years ago, back then available for little money at the drugstore. A spritz on the underside of the wrist and the young years were immediately present. Brutal musk opening, brutal sillage, fresh, sporty, becoming calmer over time, gently herbaceous, but the opening note unmistakably lingers for hours. Amazing how long Musk men free can be perceived. A true musk bomb from a long-gone era. I still like the scent, might be connected to memories of wonderful years??? My daughter's comment (23): "Dad, you can't wear that!"
No panic, I don't want to either. This scent serves to occasionally evoke memories from times when hips and back didn't hurt, when not everyone shared their feelings with everyone else via mobile phone, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, email at all times unasked, which actually don't concern anyone! "Wonderful years, wonderful years, I want to be back in this time...!" Occasionally at least.
One has to do things just because one wants to do them.

Clove-mossy spice-aquat with woody notes and indolic early-1980s musk. Lasts long in its cool fougère style!

Musk, initially aquatic-fresh, then woody-spicy. Light, but not bothersome synthetics. Quite nice as an all-rounder musk.
