A consciously retro scent, Vison is an aldehydic parfum fourrure - a fur perfume.
And it’s interesting that François Robert - scion of the Robert family – opened his ouvre in this style. Because this, his first work, echoes that of his grandfather Guy: Caleche - an aldehydic leather, and maybe also Lasso (although I don’t know it) a leather chypre with peach, a note that also features here.
Vison (which means mink) is a rather formless and thick chypre, sweetish but somehow unpleasant with a hide-like feel. Where Caleche is opulent, this is oppressive.
In case you were in any doubt about what you were buying, the bottle cap is wrapped in a furry hat, probably not mink, but anyway - a piece of dead animal; that’s what Robert Beaulieu sold.
