Here is an update on my search for Essence Rare: it took me 2.5 years, but I finally got my hands on an old bottle of parfum de extrait of Essence Rare that smells wonderful. In fact, it smells better than what I remembered, if that's possible. Thanks to eBay, I was able to get the parfum and some perfumed body lotion. Both smell fabulous and are closer to Chanel No 19 than I would have thought, because both share a woodsy, mossy greenness that is breathtaking. Essence Rare was/is a gorgeous floral aldehyde with enough green and woods in it to make it a timeless scent that deserves to be resurrected. I hope someone will do so before my bottle of the extrait runs dry.
