Herb, spritzig, fruchtig, underrated

Just as I find some mainstream fragrances hopelessly overrepresented, there are a few lesser-known ones that, in my opinion, have unjustly disappeared quickly or languish unnoticed as hidden gems. Revillon had long surpassed the peak of its success when it launched this little scent in 1994. And although I have been wandering through the world of perfume with open eyes and ears since around that year, I have rarely encountered this fragrance.
It is a wonderfully fruity floral scent that lasts well, is not overpowering, but is definitely "there" and doesn't cost the earth.
Classic-fresh, peach-heavy top note, floral in the heart note, but not sweet, rather with a herb-sparkling projection, and an oakmoss-silky finish.
Mmmh.
However, I also don't know why it has such an inappropriate name.

I didn't know about the ballet, but Anouschka Renzi... (I saw her once in the Schadow Arcades; I tried to block it out)

Wow, Chanelle, we’re the only ones who own this gem! Anouchka is actually Russian: the name is inspired by the ballet of the same name. So beautiful... (just don’t make the mistake of thinking of Anuschka Renzi!)

Anouschka is a lovely name. The scent sounds good, I'm not familiar with it.
