This scent is hard to describe if you don't know what's in it. It's so dense and heavy, not in the way Opium is, but something else, close to it. Vintage Cairo and Nefertiti are unfamiliar to me, but it seems like this is something similar. The bouquet is floral, balsamic, with oily and resinous notes, but it's hard to evaluate initially; time does its work. The fragrance is long-lasting; one application is enough for the whole day. In the end, there's sweet vanilla, but not just vanilla, rather with oriental spices; I associate it with turmeric. It's not easy to wear; I only envision it on a strong, unusual personality who doesn't want to smell like everyone else. Vintage collectors will find it interesting 👃

This perfume was created in the 40s-50s by the French brand A. Blanc and has no relation to Angel Schlesser or other comments mentioned. It was released as perfume in miniature bottles, as shown in the image. The composition is quite complex, with a rich floral-oriental character, reminiscent of vintage fragrances like Opium by YSL and V§C Arpels Gem, and also shares similarities with oriental perfumes from Dzintars. <br><br> The fragrance opens with a rich fruity bouquet, intertwined with woody-balsamic accords. Then, sweet floral notes and vanilla are added, creating a voluminous scent that changes and develops, and finally becomes slightly powdery. The longevity is impressive - one application lasts half a day, which is typical for high-quality perfumes. This is a distinctly retro scent, not for everyday use or for young people, but it will perfectly suit older women, especially during the colder months. <br><br> The fragrance is interesting and multifaceted, vintage lovers will definitely enjoy it. It's definitely worth trying, they don't make them like this anymore!

These perfumes are a true concentrate of citrus freshness. It's hard to say how they smelled before, but now the scent has become quite rich and dense. Although they are already about 50-60 years old, the small bottle still delights with its light content, and the fragrance doesn't evoke retro associations; it can be worn today. The sillage, however, isn't too strong, staying close to the skin, but it smells very pleasant - a pure floral-citrus, with a slight bitterness at the end, without powdery notes 🍊
