Toujours Moi - Corday (1923)

This rare lucky find seems to lead way for autumn scents season, it's getting real warm and cosy, heavy and ambery.
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.
