Mon Classique (1987)
by Pascal Morabito

Well, I'll bet this one is hard to find but I'm reviewing it for nostalgic reasons... I wore it on my wedding day in 1992.

I don't know what the official line is and I don't know much about perfume theory but in my interpretation, this is a heady, very pure white floral scent (no powderiness, no greenness) with a very dominant jasmine top note. Secondary topnotes are freesia and white grape (!! in my opinion!!). The jasmine lasts forever but the other topnotes are replaced by violet and soap.
It's ultrafeminine with an underlying warmth and reminds me of everything white... pearls, bone china... very girlish and perfect for a bride. I still have a bottle that I bought in 1990, and it still seems to smell exactly right... it didn't go "off" with age like some scents do.
