It is often claimed that Knize Ten is the first and thus the oldest leather fragrance - this is not entirely true. Tabac Blond by Caron, which Vincent Roubert surely knew and probably had in mind when he composed Knize Ten, is a few years...

I was 16 years old when the fragrance hit the market. At that time, I was wearing my first perfume purchased with my own money, ‘Armani pour Homme’, which the saleswoman in the perfumery - back then they still wore white coats! - had recommended...

Why on earth didn't they revive the old Cravache? Those who remember it speak of a strong and distinctive citrus-leather chypre in the style of a Germaine Cellier (to whom some attribute it). Compared to the new Cravache, the old one seems much...

I won this fragrance on eBay for little money some time ago, and when it finally arrived, I only needed to spray it a few times to know that I would sell it immediately. Unfortunately, this scent has nothing to do with the original, great...

Caron's third fragrance for men was created by a Japanese lady named Akiko Kamei for Caron. With it, she introduced the scent of Yuzu mandarin from the island of Shikoku for the first time. It was the fruity aspect that gave this fragrance...

Vincent Marcello created two fragrances in the second half of the 70s that were not only avant-garde, thus several years ahead of their time, but also inspired many perfumers for a long time: Halston's Z-14 and Yatagan for Caron. Both were uncompromisingly...

This fragrance is tied to my earliest scent memories, aside from the memories of the smells of my childhood - Southern France, mid-70s, my first vacation outside the German-speaking area, just 10 years old. I must have smelled it back then;...

After ‘Le Maroc pour Elle’ and ‘L´Air du Désert Marocain’, ‘Lonestar Memories’ is Andy Tauer’s third perfume from 2006. I don’t know if the film ‘Brokeback Mountain’, which was so successful in theaters in 2005,...
