I’m not sure if it was a nod to the famous actress, but upon spraying, it smells classic and elegant, just like her. It’s a citrus-woody fragrance, very fragrant and truly unisex for today (curiously, a perfume designed for women back then feels more masculine than many current offerings) and incredibly addictive if you’re familiar with scents like Aromatic Elixir or Eau Lancaster Vintage, which fall into herbal groups with a distinct earthy component. They aren’t sisters, but surely cousins; in its heart phase, it aligns with memories of classic men’s perfumery, finishing with a powdery mossy dry-down that adapts better to daily winter wear thanks to the warmth it radiates. After an initially citrusy, slightly aldehydic opening, the scent settles on a moss note crossed with powder (perhaps due to the sandalwood) and patchouli, which tends to compact structurally with good lavender, offering moments of pure brilliance perceptible on a personal level. The overall structure feels like a measured, more discreet version of the bombastic 70s and 80s proposals. It flows well on the skin, present without harsh streaks like other ‘beasts’ of the era, but the important combination of green and moss tones points to a perfume perfect for personal enjoyment with nuances and evolutions that are hard to achieve today and require time to be fully perceived. Ideal for testing reactions on a train or subway; I imagine a young crowd fleeing without looking back after being sprayed with 3 or 4 sprays. Perfumon.
