    Goodbye Wisdom, Hello Bliss. My grandmother a perfumista passed away years ago and left me a fortune – in perfume! This is a discontinued beauty that made a comeback in reformulated form in the 80’s but then was discontinued as well. Adieu Sagesse is an intoxicating and dizzying aroma of flowers that bloom in the spring. It opens without aldehydes but with a fresh neroli and bergamot orange that does the same thing aldehydes do: fresn up and pick you up. The scent is citrusy and becomes flowery. Gorgeous flowers tuberose carnation lily of the valley and narcissus. One of the other unlisted flowers is gardenia. It’s spring! And these flowers are fragrant enough on their own but put them together and you’re in Flower Heaven. When I wear this frag I hear the Pastoral Symphony by Beethoven, the Allegro Ma Non Troppo, famously featured in the Disney classic Fantasia with the Greek mythology theme: Pegasus the flying horse and fauns and nymphs dancing in a rustic paradise. This is a paradise of flowers. But the scent does dry down as all fragrances do and it turns into musk. The civet you see is real. It’s a civet secretion and very musky smell that takes over the scent and wears like a man’s musks cologne, and very much a pheromone. It reminds me of the musk in Bal A Versailles. However this is more floral than musky on me. The potency of this perfume is still strong after all these years. It is a very floral musky scent for strong, classy ladies, that don’t exist anymore. I am fortunate to be the owner of this perfume and no one I mean no one I know is wearing this. My grandmother in Heaven must be smelling this on me.

    (review is for the vintage pre-barcode EDT)
    This juice is simply majestic.
    It opens with an outrageous explosion of earthy, musky GARDENIA accord, and evolves in a sort of carnation based version of l’Heure Bleue, powdery, pungent and warmly animalic. Got to find a backup bottle of this one!
    ATTENTION: the new version is COMPLETELY different and smells like a cheaper version of Caron’s Bellodgia. Avoid.

    I think classic French perfumes are a little like jazz. I, like other people of my generation, started out hating them because they belonged to my parents’ or grandparents’ cultural milieu and were something that should be rejected for that reason alone. However, having ended up studying both jazz and perfumery enough to understand their underlying structure, I now realize the incredible genius that went into the creation of both the music and the perfumes.
    Adieu Sagesse, originally released in 1925, has sadly been discontined. It starts out with a burst of floral aldehydes that reminds me of my mother’s or grandmother’s perfumes. There’s no doubt at any point that this is an old-fashioned, synthetic, French perfume, but it turns out to be one that’s surprisingly wearable in a contemporary setting. After the first few minutes the sillage is a gorgeous powdery-fluffy medley of spring flowers that envelops me and makes me feel as if I’m a flapper wearing an elegant fur coat, back in the days before real fur became politically incorrect. As it dries down, it mellows into a gauzy cocoon of lovely scent that lasts all day.
    It is never heavy, cloying, or in-your-face. I could wear this anywhere and not be offensive. I’m beginning to think that some of these old perfumes are more in keeping with modern tastes than perfumes from more recent times, especially the 1980s. I like it and will have to look for a larger decant!
