I’m not sure if it was a nod to the famous actress, but upon leaving, it smells classic and elegant, just like her. It’s a citrus-woody fragrance, fragrant and very unisex for today (curious that a scent designed for ladies back then feels more masculine than many current offerings) and utterly addictive if you know anything like Aromatic Elixir or Eau Lancaster Vintage, proposals that can be classified as herbal groups with a clear 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 general mossy talc scent that daily adapts better to winter thanks to the warmth it radiates. The perfume, after an initially citrusy and slightly aldehydic opening, centres on a moss note with touches of talc (perhaps due to the sandalwood) and patchouli that tends to compact structurally with good lavender, having moments of pure brilliance perceptible on a personal level. The overall structure feels like a measured and more discreet version of the boombastic proposals of the 70s and 80s. It flows well on the skin, present without harsh streaks like other ‘beasts’ of the era, but the important combination of green tones and moss points to a perfume suited for personal enjoyment with nuances and evolutions that are hard to achieve today and require time to be perceived in their entirety. Ideal for experiencing others’ reactions on a train or metro; I imagine a young audience fleeing without looking back after having three or four sprays sprayed over them. Perfumon.
