Ted Lapidus pour Homme Ted Lapidus 1978 Eau de Toilette

For many years I chased after it, was hot on its heels, had it already in my grasp, and yet it escaped me again.

The scent of my father, always in his man purse (in the seventies, men carried that; very säxy) and as soon as the air was clear, I would spray it secretly and gently. Very gently. It was the scent of the great wide world and I was ten or eleven.
When Lapidus pour Homme hit the market, I thought: old wine in new bottles. Far from it.
A few years ago, I discovered it at an Italian online retailer and ordered it for a hefty price. Money was deducted and the package never arrived. It took forever to get my refund. My desire for it faded, but a week ago I was browsing through an Austrian private sales site and by chance I found it. This time it worked out. The price was very reasonable and my willingness to take risks was high. Luck was also on my side, because the scent is top-notch.

The scent of the great wide world. Steve McQueen drives through the streets of San Francisco in his dark green Ford Mustang Fastback, enveloped in a leather aura. That's how a man should be, at least in 1978. The film is of course a good ten years older, but the imagination takes on a life of its own and creates its own versions. Beaver musk and incense are still clearly recognizable. Those who love the level will find a nice cousin here, price-wise more like a twin....
