Miss Fischer's mysterious case
Yes Fischer is my maiden name, Fischer with sch not just with sh. And what is mysterious about this case? Quite simply, someone like me, who is demonstrably not into chypres, counts a chypre - and a pure chypre, as real as it gets - as one of her favorite scents.
For a long time, many, many years, I owned a tiny sample bottle of Calandre and guarded it like the apple of my eye. The scent completely amazed me 40 years ago! And to put it bluntly, how can someone like Paco Rabanne take such a dream fragrance off the market in favor of One Million plus flanker???
Yes, yes, it may be that oak moss is no longer allowed to be used and ambergris is no longer allowed to be used either. Chemistry has certainly now found adequate substitutes for it and the scent could be recreated (almost) like the original.
Its beauty is truly unique, although today's young fragrance lovers may shy away from the top note. Because in order to discover the scent for yourself, you need one thing: patience!
The start is extremely bitter-green and only after a few minutes do citrus accents soften the extremely green note. Not to smell citrusy now, but to take the scent to the next level.
The heart! Here jasmine with lily of the valley accompaniment and iris background becomes one of the most beautiful unsweet flowers I can imagine. The slightly oily substance of the perfume lasts a very long time and with every hand movement Calandre's blooming heart surrounds me, which is simply beautiful to kneel down on.
The base becomes dark and greener again, which I would like to attribute to musk and something woody. I cannot perceive ambergris. The scent remains in this elegantly beautiful green until it fades away after a few hours.
No, I'm not a chypre fan, but YES, I love Calandre.
