One of my standard top ten favourite fragrances is Racquets Formula.It was love at first sniff. I loved it because it contained a strange unidentifiable note that set it apart from anything else, (at least so I thought). Two decades later I ordered Extravagance D´Amarige for a customer in my shop. It was discontinued so I could only get hold of it in the form of a tester, (which gave me the chance to have a tiny spray and get to know this fragrance). To my astonishment it contained the same weird note as in Racquets.
It is very hard for me to descibe this note. I see it as yellow, perhaps a daffodil note.
It is a constant note that never goes away, rather like the mysertious lilac / hyacinth note in the first Nino Cerruti fragrance for men.
Very recently I discovered a third variant of this wacky yellow note in the discontinued Yohji Yamamoto, (womens). One reviewer of this perfume describes it as a green note that leaps out and punches you in the face !
It would be interesting to hear your tales of perfumes containing weird notes.
