The big perfume from 1975.
We generally think of 1970s as the decade that began as the casual bohemian style with floral aldehydes like Chanel no 19 or Rive Gauche and ended with disco glitz of Opium, Oscar de la Renta and Silences. Right in the heart of this decade landed one of its brightest stars that most overlook-Aviance from Prince Matchabelli. It was a reissue from 1938 that never had much attention at the time. Gone was the crown bottle, it was marketed in that big 70s style spray bottle that promised modern glamour. It indeed delivered that and more. This was a high-altitude jet set fantasy hence the name Aviance/Aviation took one to 37,000 feet and beyond
This was my mother's signature for a while. She loved Prince Matchabelli and this was one of favorites. She would give large sprays before going out to dinner on cold winter nights. She always gave big hugs with this one and it was never overwhelming. Aviance was the classiest perfume moment I remember of her. She always had a sense of style that matched her love of life.
The fragrance itself could be described as a green floral chypre, yet it was so much more than that. The florals weave in and out of the herbal notes. The woody notes gave it a depth that lets it speak its own language. And yes, it develops on each wearer accordingly. Today, I found a vintage and gave a spray on my skin and is different on me that I remember it on my mother.
I am picking up some other floral notes I never picked up as time passes. This is a massive composition filled with so much more than is listed on these perfume sights. The chemistry reveals itself on my skin. I am sure it's there with other houses like Guerlain. I rarely noticed this effect outside of Prince Machabelli. They were a house that few remember now. This was the last big hit from them. The 1980s would quickly overshadow these older houses. Windsong is still in production, although reduced to vintage discount shelves.
