Red, but no Lobster

I haven't been in possession of this scent for over 10 years, so my recollection might be a bit vague, it is entirely possible I wouldn't even like it any more, not to speak of possible reformulations.auch fraglich.

Not for the least part thanks to a trip to France including the obligatory visit to the Musée International de la Parfumerie In high school I felt an urge to please myself and my surroundings olfactorily. I soon left the most brutal and not quite aptly named "Extase Musk" by Muelhens behind, giving my preference to Schwarzkopf's "Scorpio Rouge". For years to come this would be my signature scent, a light woody oriental with a fresh head that would permanently cling to my scarves and coats (I hardly let a scent close to my skin then, and not only scents ...). To me it was the epitome of a comfort scent then.

During another visit to France in 1994 (see my homepage for images ;-)) I purchased another bottle of this scent, but in the years to come my perfume consumption went down. I didn't replace the flask when it was empty, and the Puig/Herrera miniature collection I purchased duty free on another trip got lost instead of used up, only to resurface recently - in contrast to the bright red Scorpio bottle.

Only recently did I remember this scent once again. While no German language site seems to have it (then it was readily available in drugstores in Austria), I still found multiple offers in France ... should I get another bottle via mail order? Or is it better to let old passions rest?
