I use this since the 80's when it was sold only at some Chanel boutiques. It is my favorite fragrance, all times, all seasons. (Hate that nonsense of "summer this and winter that"!) Hope that...

Floralaldehydic leather soap and powder from the 1920s. According to Kafkaesque blog, strong fecal note, and reworked by Polge in the 1980s to increase the amount of iris and powder. I don't object...

I got a large decant of this from TPC and have waited a year to review it, I've worn it maybe a dozen of times and sprayed it in the air a bit as well. I just can't bring myself to like it. I...
