You wear it well...

I just discovered a perfectly preserved vintage splash bottle made in France by Parfums Pierre Cardin. Its so far from the current Five Star disaster.

It is liquid gold that effortlessly defines refined French style for men. Its a citrus fougere that has a perfect orange/lavender accord that is so polite, unlike so many to follow. Its soft leather heart accompanies the vetiver, patchouli and oakmoss bouquet. I always got a little cinnamon perhaps not listed. Carnation leads right into the smooth musk/sandalwood/vanilla foundation. Its pure sex in a bottle.

Its hard to believe that Pierre Cardin was a luxury label in its time. This bottle was an empire builder and was later sold only to be mangled by cheaper companies. My nose has become more objective today and I can finally identify this classic as it is.

This was one of my first purchases back in the day. It reminds me of my first shave and kiss. Its young at heart and was all over the place in the 1980s. I am discovering I still Wear It Well!
