En Avril Un Soir

As I wear this during a month-long heat wave in July, I only wish it were but one April evening with summer only a distant concern. This green, sylvan aldehydic shimmer of a fragrance has florals that are impressionistic and soft-focus, pastel powder shades and brocade moss. There is at first a polish, a lustre, if you will, to En Avril Un Soir that almost begs for a bit of coarseness, and by the dry down, it delivers: a warm wooden fond, a sharpened pencil cedar mingling with a mouth-watering sandalwood, with lingering glimmers of aldehydes and sweetness. I want to transport myself from the current dystopian mess of a world to wherever this imaginary place exists.

This is a beautiful classic floral chypre. The oakmoss is detectable but not too heavy and the aldehydes are also applied wth a light hand so there is a whisper of powder but no more. As Action says, this is a classic 70s bottle - huge, square and solidly impressive. The style of both the bottle and the juice might be considered masculine these days, maybe. To me they speak of confidence and poise. I agree with the similarities to original Chanel No. 19. Pretty much the only place to find this now is ebay I guess. Both my bottles have come from there. The upside is they were cheap!

Wow one fantastic fragrance classic on the powdery note but so fresh it one master piece this one. On top off that it's long lasting to I don’t regret my buy. Action I completely agreed whit you, Gorgeous Masterpiece. And the funny part of it I recently discover it. Were was I when it came out... ok not borne yet lol but OMG so happy now.
