Just broke the seal on a 1960s? nos bottle of tapestry. I’m not really detecting florals, more like nutty, powdery, sweet aldehydes. The smell of old makeup? Vintage shampoo?
Tapestry is one of those scents, that makes you feel like you’ve smelled it 100 times before, but you don’t know where. -In old train cases, on vintage clothing, clinging like a fog over antique jewelry and personal items. It’s the cologne smell, lingering in the glove-box of your grandmother’s 1st car.
I’m not sure I’d ever wear this out in the modern world, but it’s beginning to grow on me. I can’t compare it to anything modern except maybe… maybe… Lancome’s Poeme’ . But somehow, Tapestry smells cleaner, lighter, and fresher than poeme. I would venture to say that “Tapestry”, might have been considered a “clean” scent in the 1950s. In some ways, this scent reminds me of Pre de Provence’s “milk” soap. – Just a light, powdery, old-fashioned sweetness.
Don’t judge this one, until you’ve let it dry for about 20min. It morphs dramatically. Dry down is very nice.

Mary Cess Tapestry is a gentle, and vintage fragrance. Floral notes are hard to pick out but I’d guess that there’s Jasmine, carnation, rose and maybe some hyacinth floating around there in the beginning. They are very well blended and tough to pick out. All of these soft, and ladylike florals float atop of gentle, and slightly powdery carpet of moss and perhaps a bit of civet which gives it a very subtle sweetness that develops later on the wearing. It would be a beautiful white sundress fragrance, on a spring or summer day. Elegant and reserved, in the vein of No 19 and Ivoire but less harsh, and more welcoming. She is more the elegant niece of the grand auntie, and more friendly in her mannerisms than the grand dames of the chypre family. If you spot this gem, be sure to pick it up, it’s an instant love for vintage aficionados!
