Turbulences

I miss this perfume. I believe only those who knew it in the 80s know what it’s like. Reviewers who say they tried it in recent years most definitely dealt with fakes. If they say it was a ‘vintage bottle’, it could not have survived this long. I had a left-over, which kept most of its identity for a very long time (could be even till 2000 if my memory serves me), but then expired. I found and bought a bottle online a few years ago. The packaging looked exactly the same, but the liquid inside was completely fake. Nothing like the original even remotely, and not even a fragrance, just a smelly tincture. So, it’s now a lost treasure. An extinct species. Gone forever, most likely. If someone relaunched it, it would have been some reformulated crap. If only it were the same exact formula with the same exact ingredients and the process! By the way, it was a parfum, not EDP or EDT, so it was everlasting.

love at the first sniff. Aldehydic spicy, a bit oriental touch. intens aroma that I wouldn't find in perfumes nowadays unless it is the classic scent like chanel classics or dior classics. Open up with warn spicy scent follow with aldehydic herbs it turns into a powdery musky floral scent to my skin after it dries down.The scent that I use to know back in the late 80s or early 90s in my country, what my mom n my aunties would smell when there were chit chatting and little me and my cousins will play around and wish to wear that scent one day. Not a youngsters in 2017s would wear, unless you are a vintage scent lover. A nostalgic scent that I would wear in a cold rainy weather in my hot humid country. Loving it being part of my collection.

This is one most lovely aldehyde, typical of the beginning of the 80s. I would even call it a semi-oriental spicy chypre on top: A burst of hot metal at first, over cooler greens, mint, and spice, developing further into a warmer floral (that muguet!) aromatics scent, lingering finally over a musky resin and wood base. Turbulences says it like it is: a complex rollercoaster array of late 70s early 80s classic(al) aromas that bring me back to my late teen years, way before one-dimensional gourmands and mono-syllabics took over (and rather dulled the young nose). A classic in its own right!

I have a vintage bottle of this and it is lovely but also quite odd. It starts with wood and aldehydes and a general floral scent. This lasted about 45 minutes on me. Then the magic happened. This turned into a woody spicy scent unlike any other I've smelled. It manages to be cold and spicy. The florals hold it together. It's a wonderful take on spice that isn't gourmound-y or Christmas candle-y or an oriental. It's so interesting. The longevity is quite good. I put it on yesterday afternoon. It's almost noon and I can still smell it

I was given a bottle of the parfum and loved it so much I bought a backup bottle . To me this smells like my Mom and Grandma cooking Applebutter and canning it.Sort of a warm apple-spice and floral scent . I think the rose,in combination with the carnation and white peach and spices give this impression. I'm very happy that this one works with my skin chemistry.I would agree with Kterhark about the clasification as I don't recall any Aldyhydes.
