Toujours Moi - Corday (1923)
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.
Notes (Cleopatra's Boudoir):
Top notes: aldehydes, bergamot, peach, plum, petigran, lemon, raspberry, orange blossom, jasmine, almond, thyme
Middle notes: geranium, clove, ylang-ylang, nutmeg, lavender, lily of the valley, lilac, heliotrope, rose, frankincense, myrrh, honey, carnation, hay
Base notes: cistus labdanum, patchouli, amber, sandalwood, musk, vetiver, benzoin, leather, camphor, tabac, Tolu balsam, tonka bean, vanilla, oakmoss, castoreum
