Japanese (Almost) Chypre
That this fragrance couldn't establish itself on the market doesn't surprise me. At the time of its release, it wasn't really trendy. In the late 80s, melon scents, aquatic notes, or Eternity were in vogue, and fragrances with a soapy chypre touch weren't really popular.
As already mentioned, Essential starts with a really fine, but not exactly clean soapy note. I think the chamomile causes this slight dirtiness.
Alongside this soap, a really beautiful raspberry joins in from the heart note. The flowers support the berry rather than contributing much to the scent. This accord is very unique, but that's exactly what gives Essential its special charm.
The woody-powdery base then comes through delicately after a long time and skillfully rounds off a truly wonderful fragrance experience.
The longevity is good and the intensity is not too overwhelming.
Well, to be a true chypre, it actually lacks the moss, but I don't mind that too much.
I don't have to worry about my bank account, as this gem can no longer be officially purchased.
