In Green

No. This is from the 1992 (p.s. 1989) I presume. Firsts nineties by sure. It is one of three fragrances came out all togheter (red and blue the others), it was not so usual that time. It was considered an hazard came out with three fragrances. All three were exploring one particular dimension of a family but in a classic and no fashion way. Are made for office & house men. Who loves country side, fireplace, a book, whiskey and talk, a clean shirt, that's it. The green is a sort of warm forest, simple comforting and well done. I detect a lot of fir/pine definitely leather and aromatic note. It is a sort of conifer/sport version of Tsar. Or a much more sophisticated and 80s version of Pino Silvestre. A sort of Polo cousin in conclusion. Wait a minut. Now I get it. I hazard: it is similar to Santos eau de sport... it share a lot of notes with it, shades of Oscar de la Renta pour lui also. P.S.: by Chance 2006 it is also the date we find on basenote with sames notes as above ... You shouldn't do a bad copycat (actually there you find a messy of two henry Cotton's In Green one of 2006 and one of 1989) Anyway I have found the fragrance is of the 1989 and the notes seems to be Green notes, Basil, Cumin, Bergamot, Lavender Fir, Jasmine, Juniper, Thyme, Geranium, Rose, Carnation Leather, Patchouli, Cistus, Moss, Amber, Frankincense, Musk Or maybe galbanum, lily of the valley, ivy, grey pepper, cypress, tarragon, wormwood, cedar, patchouli, thyme, sage, bay leaf pine resin, labdanum, musk. I love because on internet you find many different formulas and maybe also in cartaceous... That is why, word aparts, a perfume is always a mystery.

There's clearly lavender here and I think the BN note pyramid is more accurate. There's a kind of minty quality at first, probably "green note," basil, and perhaps something else, then I get an obvious fougere accord. The florals soften things up but aren't obvious (other than lavender), but it is clearly herbal. There is some sweetness but the idea seems to like using salt to enhance food items. Fortunately (for those like myself, who don't want a powerful fougere scent), the fougere accord is just element that offers contrast to the others. Some might say it's grassy but for me the other elements are much stronger, and I don't get any galbanum here. Strength is at least good. Over time it softens up and it becomes a touch powdery, though largely retaining the initial presentation. Overall, I really like it, but I haven't been in the mood for these kinds of scents over the last few years, preferring gourmands, leathers, orientals, and tobacco scents.
