Toujours Moi - Corday (1923)

According to Cleopatra's Boudoir this was inspired by the incense used in Notre Dame at the time, and I guess it explains why so many more people went to church back then.
This stuff is STRONG.
Resinous, a little bozy, ambery sweet but not cloying, a little spicy, incensy, floral and has a sensual purr to it.
At first try it reminded of the oriental, resinous beauty of "Bal à Versailles" pure perfume Jean Desprez, with the dark, attractive sensuality of "Tabu" by Dana, but around this there is more, almost christmas-incense, darker florals, a little bit of fruitiness and more ambery/oriental style warmth to it.

Notes (Cleopatra's Boudoir):

Top notes: aldehydes, bergamot, peach, plum, petigran, lemon, raspberry, orange blossom, jasmine, almond, thyme

Middle notes: geranium, clove, ylang-ylang, nutmeg, lavender, lily of the valley, lilac, heliotrope, rose, frankincense, myrrh, honey, carnation, hay

Base notes: cistus labdanum, patchouli, amber, sandalwood, musk, vetiver, benzoin, leather, camphor, tabac, Tolu balsam, tonka bean, vanilla, oakmoss, castoreum

Forgotten Classic

Of all the fragrances Dana acquired and ruined, Toujours Moi might be the most tragic. I recently got my hands on a vintage bottle of Corday TM PDT, and the difference from the Dana remake is stark. The Corday is a sumptuous and spicy aldehydic, a grand dame in the classic style; the Dana assaults the nose like an aging Marseille hooker. Oook. Still, the fact that a fume created in 1924 still sells, even in this debased state, says something. Check out the pics of vintage TM bottles on the web -- they're gorgeous.

Who wants to, can - those who don't want to, haven't tried it yet.

These are the moments that make up for the various blind purchases, which mostly go wrong for me!

A classic catch from the bay - I won it while bidding on a perfume from the same seller because no one else wanted it. Almost by chance. A perfume I had never heard of, that cannot be found online, which I couldn't test beforehand. In a tiny inconspicuous 1-2ml miniature bottle, the contents already dark red-brown.

What a beautiful scent!

At first, it is a bit rough (harsh, herbal, unrefined), so I initially thought it would fall into the category of toppled vintage perfumes that I could either sell again or resignedly pour down the drain - with the comforting hope of at least needing the empty bottle someday.

But this somewhat rough start lasts only briefly.

"Toujours moi," a name that initially evoked somewhat pretentious, kitschy associations for me, fortunately does not head in that direction, but instead reveals itself within a very short time as a wonderfully dry, ambery, soft, and above all infinitely warm + deep feel-good scent that easily puts all the amber compositions I know in the shade.

I don't even know what concentration it is, as the bottle gives no information - but I assume it is an EdP or even an Extrait: For at least 12 hours, it radiates a wonderfully natural amber aroma in a moderately sweet way, which is still perceptible even after 24 hours.

I also suspect a high-quality portion of patchouli in it: patchouli of the light earthy kind, which makes a perfume pleasantly rough and prevents a rather sweet, heart- or base-focused component like amber from making a perfume feel shallow and boring without appropriate counterpoints.

An indication of the extraordinary quality of the ingredients: Many hours after the warm glow of the patchouli-laden amber - when one would like to lean back and actually expects nothing new - "Toujours Moi" takes another turn: It introduces a deep dark smoky aspect alongside the deep red-brown amber tones, which I actually don't want to associate with secular incense in the classical sense, and which is correspondingly difficult to describe: Aromatic, but not in the sense of light gray church incense, nor a mundane campfire that is smoldering - almost like herbs placed in gentle embers, releasing anthracite-colored vapors that are unfamiliar.

For me, a great discovery among the truly great classics! Sometimes you can still find older bottles or minis at reasonable prices… so who wants to, can. Those who dislike blind purchases because they usually have no luck will probably never get to enjoy it. Those who like the mentioned aromas: In this case, I would dare to try it, as it could be a hit.

A piece of me

Amber fragrances are one of my passions, and not just since today; Ambra di Luna has been my favorite scent so far. However, Toujours Moi could dethrone Ambra di Luna!

The opening is initially quite unusual, rather green-herbaceous and somewhat rooty. But after just a few minutes, this accord dissipates and makes way for the wonderful, sweet, soft yet quite noticeable amber scent. I could swear there’s patchouli involved, as the heart is rounded and wonderfully balanced, dark amber, warm and completely enveloping me.

Although this amber-patchouli accord remains, the fragrance - the longer I wear it - becomes more powdery and drier, perhaps even a bit woody, but that is hardly noticeable. Fortunately, the powderiness is just enough for me to still tolerate it.

Toujours Moi - Always Me - is probably the most famous scent from Corday and, which doesn’t surprise me at all, the most popular.

The extrait also reveals another, very interesting note in the heart. Lovers of incense will surely get their money's worth here. The dosage is pronounced, but so excellent that even I, who usually avoids incense, enjoy it.

The longevity is - even with the EdT - enormous, and the sillage ensures a very good projection, so that besides myself, the surroundings also get to enjoy this wonderful scent.

It definitely belongs in the same category and on the same level as Emeraude and Shalimar, or Shalimar Ode a la Vanille. The same warmth and depth characterize all three, with Emeraude being the sweetest of the three.

For Toujours Moi, it is definitely worth browsing online. This is one of the most beautiful amber fragrances, and I can identify with it 100%.

A piece of me indeed!
