No. 19 EDT (1971) by Henri Robert for Chanel

Since the first time it came near my nose it has constantly remained in my top three Desert island Perfumes.

Fanny, you are the only person who has Jaguar by Margaret Astor listed under "Community Ownership". Can you tell us a little bit about it?

Sure, on parfumo.com Jaguar is categorized as spicy/powdery. When I first wore it -in colder weather- I thought it had a leathery and earthy feel and it was just a tiny bit powdery; today it feels spicy and powdery alright and a bit sweet with some wood, I can also smell some galbanum. This EdT is not strong and I think whatever other topnotes there were, are mostly gone, but still it's pretty nicely preserved. Perhaps because it has an extra plastic lid below the cap, which fits very thightly, the perfume has not turned bad.

I have tried to find the release date (there is no batch code), but without succes so far.

Sounds like the name is deceptive. I was hoping you'd report that it was a big leathery animalic.

Late night switch from an earlier modern spritzing, to Original Santal by Creed which was created by Noah when he was building the Ark and handed down from father to son through the Creed lineage. Or something like that, I’m sure.
