Hello everyone. Chanel N° 5 eau de cologne today.

 

[Redfish365]

One Man Show by Bogart (vintage, 85%).

 

[Bavard]

My vintage scent of the day is Chanel Bois Noir.

It's a lot like Egoiste, maybe indistinguishable. To me, it feels like a good fit for the festive month of December! I'll try to keep with it - it has been great for a little over an hour this morning. Santos is its direct competition for the month. I might play around with comparing different versions of Egoiste and Santos, a fun-sounding project.

Any similarities to original vetiver or completely different?

Thanks, hednic. I had to atone for wearing Aramis recently!

Paco Rabanne Ténéré (1988)

The lost Paco

Any similarities to original vetiver or completely different?

Quite different. It's more of a vetiver-forward composition with a classic, masculine structure. I own and enjoy both.

Thanks. Original Vetiver is quite nice!

SOTE: Jean Couturier - Monsieur Couturier

An understated—and underrated—warm mossy leather.

3rd day of Chanel Egoiste Cologne Concentree

Trussardi Uomo, Trussardi. 1983. Béatrice Piquet.

Chanel Egoiste Cologne Conentree is quite nice. While it share similarities to the EDT, it's different enough to certainly own both. It's a spicier dense upgrade to the EDT.

Thank you, N.CAL Fragrance Reviewer ! I'll look for Égoiste.

One Man Show by Jacques Bogart (1980)

I got extra tickets if you wanna come.

For today's Dominique Ropion sync:

Kenzo Jungle L'Elephant (1996)

Stand back or it'll stomp you to death. Seriously, it's strong.

Fashion de Leonard.
This was sealed; a pre-1977 (no EMB code), splash version of this 1970 release.
Research showed that the notes on BN and elsewhere are for the 1993 onward fruity/floral formula.
A translation of the official release notes list apparently includes:
"Jasmin from Grasse, Bulgarian and Morocco Rose, Iris, Lily of the valley, Ylang-Ylang from Bambao, Bergamot, Java Vetyver, Mysore sandalwood, Cedar from Lebanon, Oakmoss from Yugoslavie, Singapore Patchouli, Civet, Castoreum, Musk, Ambergris, Cardamom, Coriander and Encens."
To me, so far, it's mostly moss and civet; lightly floral only briefly, with a nice patchouli. Kind of woody too when I look ...
More 'yellow' than 'green'.
Really nice. Quite understated, and definitely unisex.
A bright Chypre, with what seems to be an increasingly smooth, leathery, and slightly urinous base.
