Flambeau (1955)
by Fabergé

A pretty and autumny chypre. It is warm and creamy rather than fiery and woody. My Mother gave me a little bottle of Canasta by Jacques Fath when I was young. Later on, Flambeau reminded me quite a bit of Canasta, which, by the way, was in itself, a very finely made and delicate chypre. But alas, both are discontinued and are very hard to find.
