Not only for women
It arrived today, which is perfect for this windy, unfriendly and cold weather, I thought, so I sprayed it on.
Another rather "old-fashioned" fragrance (in a positive sense, because I like that) and an eau de cologne that is not light-footed, but has a lot of power.
As so often, the whole thing starts with bergamot or perhaps lemon, or both?
Once again, everything that makes a typical floral chypre is beautifully combined here. Hesperidic top notes, floral heart, I smell, of course, jasmine (it's usually there), iris and a little bit of a pale dog rose, very elegant and a little bit floating.
The soapy notes are also present, but I don't mind them, because I like them, and the carnation is also very beautiful and nose-flattering.
And the end is warm and woody with cedar or sandalwood.
If you expect something sweet here, I have to disappoint you, for me this is an unsweet floral chypre, they were just made that way back then!
Before I started testing, I wrote down what I smelled and was very close. But of course I had to read up on exactly what was inside.
It's just that these good old fragrances usually contain such notes, so it's no big surprise here, but I think that this EdC is another addition to my collection of what many call "granny fragrances".
And it could also appeal to gentlemen if they have something unsweet in mind, I mean in the fragrance sense.

When honeysuckle blooms again
Now my fragrance collection has grown again, but I wanted to reduce it.
I had this fragrance "mpfzig" years ago, well, at least it was a while ago. You didn't have that much money back then and the YR fragrances were usually affordable.
