Эллада (Hellas) Eau de Cologne

Out of curiosity, I bought an old cologne. On the worn label of the bottle, you could barely make out the statue of Venus de Milo. Together with the antique dealer, we examined the inscription under a magnifying glass. The bottle of polished glass was very pleasant to hold in your hands. The cap is a rosette with a cross, apparently the bottle is from pre-revolutionary stocks or was made according to an old form. The aroma... Well, how old is this fatty natural oil with spicy herbs? Since there is more alcohol in colognes, colognes are preserved better than perfumes, and "gender-masculine" wood oils also do not oxidize as quickly as the bases of feminine perfumes, excluding nitromusks. It was incredibly hot, and that's when the lines between genders blur. How good it was to strip naked in the most hellish heat and generously douse yourself with this precious composition! And walk in a cloud of woody-herbal vapors!
