More Sex in a Bottle

Avon is what you might call a victim of its own success -- the sheer ubiquity of its products over several generations has cheapened the company's image in the minds of many American women. In spite of its mass-market reputation, however, Avon has issued many fine fragrances over the years; To a Wild Rose is one. The bottle I own, a vintage cologne, looks just like the one in the above picture, and it packs a punch like vintage Femme Rochas. That's it's closest cognate, I reckon; like "Femme," "Rose" is a fruity chypre, a dirty-sexy perfume for unafraid, past their prime females. Want some cheap thrills? Into vintage, skanky fragrances? You can find the milk glass bottle above, which holds 2 ounces, for around 5 bucks on ebay.

Moosyrose, powdery

Green moss and red roses in the grass, that's how I would describe this scent. And the best part: flea market find, 50 ml, 5 euros. Top note slightly damaged, the rest completely fine. And: When the production of the "To a Wild Rose" perfume was discontinued, I was only 10 years old, having no idea about fragrances, except for my grandma's "Tosca" and my mother's "Nonchalance." Now, a long-discontinued vintage scent comes rushing towards me, and it fully matches my taste. A floral chypre, as it should be. Grass scent, very green at the beginning, a lot of dark rose and a bit of iris, very powdery and delicate, and a whole bunch of the then-unrestricted oak moss, very clearly detectable... The scent is almost "fat" and long-lasting (for an Eau de Cologne???) it says on the bottle and packaging. From the fifties to the early seventies - a feel-good forest walk - rose garden scent... Maybe soon an addition to today's impression...
