Just scored a quarter ounce of this on Ebay in a very pretty little silver spray. On me, it has some of the same appeal as Givenchy’s Insensé – intensely bright floral but dry and somewhat herbal. What’s most exciting to me is how natural it smells, especially in comparison with most 21st century masculine fragrances. Good tenacity too – as you’d expect from something in a parfum concentration (you wonder why they didn’t *call* it a parfum or extrait – does Parfum de Toilette Concentré sound more appealing to younger women?).

This is one of my little obsessions. both the fragrance and bottles are gorgeous. For me it is one of those magic potions, and I love to dab it on the nape of my neck; it has a real extrait feel to it, a little oily. One of the best kept secrets of vintage perfumes, this one is resilient and often survives intact. A charming, flirtatious yet serious perfume, It leaves a true wake, but wears close and is subtle. It is never offensive, unlike it’s sister in a can, which can be too much for me. It is woody and smoky and animalic, but as I say, soft. It has that perfect balance, where the leathers are white kid gloves, and the florals are nuanced, especially notable with heavy lavender and hyacinth. And lilies, beautiful lilies, heavy with blossoms, and a voluptuous pink rose. Nothing about the florals is flashy, or screechy, yet the florals are longlasting and the parfum itself potent. You may not smell much at first, but give it time to warm and develop, and it really opens up; suddenly you can smell everything, distinctly, for just a moment. And I live for that moment, transported to a dewy morning in a garden straight out of Tasha Tudor.
The drydown is wonderful, sandalwood you just can’t find anymore, and resins and smoke and cedar. A beautiful old school musk, and just the tiniest touch of patchouli, barely there.
The fragrance and bottle are as one, oriental and floral, pastel and soft, with that pale pinkish stone/glass cabachon stopper. For me, this is part of what makes perfume a true art, when everything comes together. You can find this in one ounce and 15 ml bottles same as and/or similar to the one depicted, as well as rectangular 15 ml bottles with a silver clad base. I swear they still come up at affordable prices, so please don’t overpay.

@kl99:
I agree very much with that commentary. The quality that perfumes had in the past, you can not find in our days not even in the niche. In my opinion, this is a trend and niche perfumery will come to an end in five or ten years. Niche perfumery is now infected with the same troubles and bad things than the conventional one. And even the conventional one is begginning to mimic the niche…And with prices multipled by ten…And where is going the money we pay for niche perumes..? Not certainly in original advertising or in beautiful flacons…And more and more often, the niche fragances are, not exactly dissapointing, but not certainly worth of the prices we are paying for them. With designers’ fragances, the whole thing is even worse; they seem to have lost any sense of style or innovation, they use cheap materials, tacky bottles, uninspired compositions, or even worse, they copy other fragances in a totally shameless way, and they are selling , in many cases, cheap clones of other scents…but with designer prices…
A real theft.

Wow. This bottle is a balsam for the eyes.
If I think to those 250 euro per bottle for a niche squared and cylindrical bottles “all the same” in aspect and inside, and often with not so rare raw real materials.. Well.. Maisons should invest more in look for those amounts. Look here up. That is lux. In and out.
Sorry me. just a rash and some considerations. no knowledge of the well known scent of Anais Anais. but must be the more intense version of the edt. Nowadays is a way to sell more to make difference between edc edt edp parfum. before this millennium was just an intensification of sillage and price. Absolutely minimum not detectable variations.
