Despite the 12 ingredients listed in this revival, I can only detect two. It begins with a blast of rose - much like the dry masculine Turkish Rose note in their Hammam Bouquet. This soon fades as it balances for a time with orris root (Iris) and finally gives up altogether to allow the orris to be the one-note for the entire drydown. This is decidedly old-fashioned and reminded me much of their own Victorian Posy. It smells like an old woman's cologne from the 19th century, powdery and evocative of an old potpourri or drawer sachet. I am surprised this was revived, since at its original release in 1977, it was already hopelessly out of date. Not a bad scent, not a good scent, just so-so.
