Būrve (Колдунья)

This is an incredibly rare perfume these days. In Soviet times, there was a big shortage, and besides, they cost the same as a French luxury: 40 rubles (the smallest salary in those years was 70 rubles). Just 2 or 3 years ago I saw a brown residue on eBay for $130, this item was immediately purchased. At an Estonian e-flea market someone offered an unopened bottle for 800 euros. I was lucky to get half a bottle in decent condition for ridiculous money (for the price of an almost empty bottle). Now I have light colored perfume. The aroma is the same, only in the mid-80s I felt it was seamless, but now I can unravel the individual blocks. Resinous galbanum, bright geranium, freshness, lots of greenery, delicate flowers, the base of forbidden silk and warm musk. The base is not heavy, it is medium. The perfume is impressive, but not cloying. The golden ratio is in absolutely everything. The scent of a sophisticated lady of Balzac's age.
