Famous, but forgotten forever
It's not so much about the fragrance, but about the fact that fragrances that were "mainstream" in their time, and perhaps even a part of the culture of that time, can fall into oblivion.
I have the perfume, it still smells good, despite a little lost top note. Herbaceous, green and no longer appropriate for today's world. Pity.
Hardly anyone would want to wear the original Channel No. 5 today. Too much animal, not enough flowers and sweetness. But it survived. Probably also because the fashion house still exists, otherwise, who knows... maybe it would be forgotten today.
There is so much that has been forgotten, lost forever and cannot be recovered. But that's the way time is, always ticking forward and only showing the present. Sometimes a pity
PS:
Here is an interesting article that clearly shows why some things disappear forever.

No comment was planned...
This comment was made because I was asked by a perfuma to describe to her whether Ebhar would smell artificially.
After I had answered her, she wrote the following:
"...thank you very much for [the] detailed description, which could be used as a perfume comment (please do it now :-)"
Since nobody had made a comment yet, I thought: Well, "copy and paste" and there it is:
"Hello ...,
i've been testing. I paid particular attention to whether it smelled artificial.
Although of course it is very difficult to define "artificial". But I think I know what you might mean.
I say first of all my impression of artificial.
By artificial I mean a fragrance (type) that is present especially in modern perfumes. It is a slightly pungent, but somehow nevertheless aromatic, but everywhere constant fragrance. You can't really define whether it's flowery, sweet or anything else.
If I spray Ebhar on, then the first sensation could actually be a little artificial, since there is (perhaps) this special fragrance.
BUT:
Already after one or 2 minutes this first smell is away and it remains a completely soft, dull/matt (positive), not piercing smell. A fragrance that you want to perceive close to your body, to which a large Sillage does not really fit, because it acts like a veil on the skin.
...
Ebhar looks like the image of a thermal imaging camera looks. These rising veils close to the skin, which swirl softly with the ambient air or float close to the skin depending on the movement of the living being.
Strange picture, but I really can't describe it any better.
I don't know if it'll help you. But there are people (Internet), who could probably bathe in it, because the smell is not typically "anything".
...
Would be interesting to learn how others perceive and describe Ebhar.
Who's going on?
