I haven’t really had a chance to smell Senchal properly (yet!), but based on my first dabbing from a little carded sample I found stashed in the toe of an old Christmas stocking, Senchal promptly went on my ‘must buy’ list.
Soft, smooth and oh-so-friendly (not very much like my vtg Tabu!). Even the name, Senchal, sounds to me like COTR was playing with the American pronunciation of the word ‘sensual’, and that it is. This perfume (and I am reviewing the perfume version of this scent) gives me that little thrilling rush of oxytocin whenever I breathe it in– just like nuzzling one big, furry kitten- yummy! *tho ymmv;)

My bottle is definitely from the 1980’s and it’s still in great condition – nothing bruised or off at all. I’m glad I found it…
I can smell the tuberose, benzoin,carnation, musk, cedar, orris root and aldehydes the most. It’s an interesting fragrance. It reminds me of a cross between a vintage scent from the 1920’s or 30’s and one from the 80’s. I’m sure that that’s the mixture of the musk, tuberose (1980’s) and the benzoin, orris root and aldehydes (1920’s).
It’s a really nice, underrated fragrance – very pretty, warm and a bit sexy, actually. The drydown is especially nice – lots of floral and delicious citrus.
I’m definitely going to keep my eyes open for more. I bought a small bottle for just $2.00 at an antique store the other day!

Thanks for this review, Mad.Kat.96!
I will TRY not to mourn too much. Another fantastic perfume that I didn’t get to smell….

a powerhouse oriental from the 80s.. In the same family as Tabu and Mackie.. Minus their fruit notes.
Senchal opens with a burst of aldehyde, carnation and citrus (I get a lot of alcohol also but that may be because its kinda old).. Warms up to a nice benzoin, amber, musk and tuberose with a touch of cinnamon and some light florals, I detect the orange blossom and jasmine. This is not really sweet, can barely get the vanilla.
Sillage and longevity is great on me.
