Enjoli (1978)
by Revlon

I tried a small vintage bottle at a resale shop. WOW, oakmoss! This is a late 1970s chypre ... at least in the familiar gold-topped, asymmetrical bottle in a dark mauve box. Marked 8-hour natural spray cologne - and it is! Very pleasant if sprayed with a light hand!

My gramma bought me this when it came out, and it is the first fragrance in which I experienced the phenomenon of dry-down. It started as a nice enough floral, but it was that amazingly powdery yet cool note which persisted hours later that just fascinated me. I should try to scare up another bottle of it.

Based on nothing more than the release date and the look of the bottle, I was expecting this to be some sort of disco-era sharp, plasticky amber/musk awfulness. I was wrong. This is really quite a pleasant, well-balanced, soft floral. Despite all the notes listed, I smell mostly jasmine (the pretty-pretty variety, a la Chanel no. 5), orange blossom and vanilla. How can you go wrong with that?

Who earns the bacon and fries it in the pan.... Revlon's ode to the mythic superwoman of the late '70s, if I remember correctly...

Is this still around? Cuz' if so, I want to buy! And buy alot! This was one of my mom's favorite and now she wears bad odors like Emeraude, Tabu, Maja, and Patchouli oil......oh, if this is available, maybe she'd wear it and we'd all, finally, get to sniff something pleasant once in awhile! It's a soft floral and slightly sweet, but not too bad.
