The launch date is way off. I tried this years ago, and it wasn’t some generic ‘two-thousand’ perfume; it was a crisp, woody nineties scent opening with galbanum, lavender, and bergamot, drying down to a soft fern and pine. It’s not a power dress fragrance, but rather a relaxed, formal water. It reminds me of a cross between Coty’s Aspen, Loewe’s Essence, and other raw aromatics. The listed notes, excluding wood and bergamot, don’t match my memory. P.S. I’m editing to add that we sometimes try to label everything ‘nineties,’ but that label doesn’t work because the nineties had a thousand different styles. This Henry Cottons was definitely nineties, but not in the Kenzo or Cool Water style—those were the cool, aromatic cauldrons of the era—nor like Tommy and co., which went for a more modern, urban vibe. This smells more like posh universities, lacking creative interest, East Coast, cold, Ivy League, striped scarves, wool sweaters, and lobster stew.
