Sardonics 1: A Musky Floral Woody Dating to 1972
Composed by L N Danilova for Новая Заря (The New Dawn), Сардоникс (Sardonics) 1 is a women's Musky Floral Woody scent that first appeared in 1972.
Verdant freshness, lilac and lily of the valley lead into a rose-centred, lightly leathery middle, before settling on sandalwood, musk and patchouli with a powdery touch.
At the top are lily of the valley, green notes, lilac and aldehydes. The effect is airy and laundered, recalling a traditional spring bouquet rather than a contemporary fruity prelude.
The middle features rose, leather, galbanum, wormwood and orange blossom. Galbanum and wormwood keep things dry and herbal, while the leather remains muted beside the rose.
Underneath, sandalwood, musk and patchouli form the foundation. The sandalwood softens, the musk lends a talc-like veil, and the patchouli contributes gentle, earthy support.
The cited principal accords span white floral, woody, roses, powdery, green, floral, warm spicy, musky, leather and fresh. Rated 3.89 out of 5 from 54 votes, it endures as a period piece for enthusiasts of historic perfumery.
It will appeal to devotees of old-school green florals, powdery musks and restrained leather who favour a 1972 feminine profile with no modern sugary edge.
In short, Sardonics 1 reflects Danilova's clear-cut construction: luminous florals up top, a drier herbal-leathery core, and comforting musky woods beneath. Worth sampling as a document of the 1970s musky floral woody style.
Flowers Green, herbal and fougère Musk, amber and animalic White flowers Woods and mosses
