Scents of eras: how perfume reflects the spirit of the times
Every era has its own scent. Not literally, but in how it felt: what it wanted, what it feared, what...
1977: the world took its first breath of Snuff (1977) Elsa Schiaparelli. A masculine fragrance from the spicy and green families. Concentration — eau de toilette: exactly what it needs to be.

The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Snuff (1977) evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Elsa Schiaparelli is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
At the opening of the pyramid you sense grassy-green top notes: Bergamot, Fruit note, Green Chord and Lavender. Exactly these 4 notes form morning coolness sensation that is impossible to miss.
At the core of development you notice Cedar, Clove, Geranium, Iris, Jasmine and Patchouli keeping a structural woody direction.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Aromatic, Citrus and Floral with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Fruit, Wood, Powdery and Amber add depth to the backdrop.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Fruit, Green and Wood. The palette also extends to Floral, Whiteflower, Ambery and Balsamic.
Overall Snuff (1977) holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best understood in wear.
