Average Fougère
Some clever people at Delft University of Technology recently developed an algorithm to analyse the facial features of portraits. They scanned in the data points from many paintings and came up with something called The Next Rembrandt, a digitally generated picture based on the statistical average of the artist's work.

It shows a Dutch burgher in black hat and coat and large white ruff collar. The computer has perfectly reproduced the painter's technique and the picture looks like a real Rembrandt, but the subject appears to lack individuality - he's an everyman with no soul.

This may be an impressive feat of engineering but the folks at Puig have long since discovered the trick. It seems they took the vital statistics of Quorum and Paco Rabanne pour Homme from the safe, ran them through perfume recognition software along with vetiver oil, worked out the average and programed it into their compounding machine.

How wonderfully chypre is THIS one!?!!
Wow, another "great oldie" from the 70s! Found at a flea market, original in a 25ml screw-top bottle. And not a trace of being "off" or even slightly damaged. Everything is there, from the "head" to the "feet." And the "heart" in between still beats clearly and regularly!
I’ve already "baptized" it and I’m thrilled! My "chypre nose" is immediately sniffing it double and triple.
First comes a burst of cheerful and very green galbanum, before the wonderful herbal and citrus scents cheerfully greet my nose right after. Just that alone is an olfactory delight!
Very soon, a "rich" clove scent appears, paired with earthy vetiver, rosemary, lavender, ripe patchouli, and creaky woods. Still "classy" and a real rough-and-tumble rascal!
This does not go unanswered by the mosses, which don’t take long to show up. The "mugwort" makes a slightly bitter expression, but that’s just part of the "fern-like" impression.
When it then quietly "incenses" in between, the scent is complete. And it lasts a very long time in this phase. Even though "Vetiver de Puig" sometimes comes across as ferny, in my overall impression, it’s a fully grown chypre scent.
With the greatest potential for enthusiasm!

After an hour all I smell is a great classy version of Azzarro Homme

Floral-earthy. Not sharp, but somewhat oriental and balsamic-warm due to a lot of labdanum. Vetiver is only in the background. Good vintage.

What an amazing scent! The fragrance impression is rather muted, not fresh or anything.
Everything is super soft and intertwined.
Warm aromatic forest floor.

Finest green spicy chypre. Clove and moss go well together! Also the smoky "fern" aroma with lots of earthy vetiver. Great vintage.

Green-earthy-spicy. A fine vintage men's fragrance with class and style. Vintage Puig, indeed.
