At Christmas I was treated to a bottle of Vintage Must De Cartier Eau De Toilette by the old man.Now this wasn't a full bottle because vintage bottles that are unused are rare to get hold of and extremely expensive and the 100ml bottle that he acquired was a in-store tester bottle.But when you compare the fragrance to the modern reformulated version you can understand why.The original formulation has top notes of: Bergamot,Tangerine,lemon,peach,Mandarin,rose wood,Galbanum,Neroli with the Middle notes:Jasmine,Leather,Carnation,Ylang Ylang,Orris,Orchid,Rose,Narcissus and the base notes of:Musk,Amber,Vanilla,Sandalwood,Vetiver,Tonka bean,Civet,Benzion which give the scent a luxurious mix of citrus flowers,leathery spicy warm musky aroma, the modern version that you buy today is a citrus scent to start which then becomes the more vanilla spicy aroma that doesn't seem to last like the original.And the musk has gone too.....
This perfume is not something that I would wear everyday its one that I would wear as the mood takes me when I fancy something different.
But I did treat my self to a 100ml bottle of Calvin Klein's Obsession Eau de Parfum this week which does have some similar notes to the Must de Cartier.The top notes are: Mandarin,Vanillin,Bergamot and subtle green nuances ,the middle notes are: Jasmin, Orange Blossom,Sandalwood ,Vetiver, and Exotic spices while the base notes are: Amber, Oakmoss, Incense and Musk. As I said the Obsession does have a similar smell to the fragrance but not quite so complex, it is a little more spicy and a little more earthy but is still a warm sensual fragrance and it does last quite well.and the price I got it for it would be one that I would wear quite often.
Another Favourite of mine is Calvin Klein's Euphoria,its different from a lot of fragrances that I wear as it is a more floral and fruitier scent which I normally stay away from simply because they tend to smell like cheap soap on me or they go sour but with this one I don't get that problem.I put that down to the fact it has a woody base that grounds it and gives just that little bit of warmth.The Top notes are: Pomegranate and Persimmon with the middle notes of: Dewy Lotus Blossom,Champaca Flower,and Black Orchid and the base notes of Amber ,Black Violet , and Mahogany Wood.The Mix of these notes gives it a floral and fruity with a tropical warm woody sensual fragrance that is quite delightful and lasts well.
And then we come to my all time favourite Joop Femme its and Oriental woody scent with its top notes that are: Aldehydes,Coriander,Fruity notes, Lemon and Bergamot, the Middle notes are: Orange Blossom,Jasmine,Lily of the Valley and Rose ,The Base Notes are: Sandalwood,Tonka bean, Amber, Patchouli, Musk,Civet,Oakmoss,Vanilla and Cedar. This creates a wonderful array on the nose that is just pure heaven to me, a scent that is like no other.
This is just a part of my collection and I will cover the rest another time.I hope you enjoy the start of my journey through perfumes.
Until next time
