Pullman

So I just received a seemingly rare vintage spray bottle (I can't find a single picture of another one!!) of Dana Pullman that I purchased off of eBay. I don't have much to say about it right now other than that it smells almost exactly like my can of Paloma Picasso Minotaure shaving cream. Unfortunately, I don't own a bottle of Minotaure EDT so I can't truly compare the two. Looks like that's going to have to be on my upcoming purchase list.

This is definitely a 60's fragrance, somewhat reminiscent of Yardley original or Russian Leather. The dominant note is lavender, with the other notes supporting it and adding depth, like a good frame on a picture. It is fairly subtle overall and doesn't last as long as fragrances we're used to nowadays, but sometimes that can be a plus. Pullman doesn't strike me as a highly memorable fragrance, but it is a very pleasant one. It's too bad we can't readily try out the many discontinued classic fragrances of earlier eras, to gain more of an appreciation of the sensibilities of those times.
