30 Vintage Fragrances Every Perfumista Should Try

0 vintage fragrances that keen to try perfume person.
This is not just another top rating, or an attempt to create a guide to the world of vintage fragrances. Undoubtedly, each will go his own way, because there is no matter finer than the smells, associations and memories associated with them. I just would like to see in the pursuit of something unknown, you do not miss the beautiful, important, key, aromas that lead to the understanding of entire classes of spirits.
1. Why it is worth to begin acquaintance with the world of vintage fragrances? I would advise to Shalimar Guerlain.

Start with him, even if you do not like oriental flavors and are not going to something similar to explore and wear. You can ignore Emeroud Coty, but Shalimar Collect.
Firstly, he kept good, and the first impression is very important. If you stick his nose into some moldy stuff, then it will be very hard to want something else, and to distinguish the living from the good and too easy to be spoiled.
Secondly, Shalimar and though very different, much different from release to release, but all that you find in the issues before the gold boxes, suitable for a first acquaintance. In it there are a variety of old materials, these materials released generously. I think the pyramid Shalimar slightly flattened, but in comparison with the modern perfume in it ogogo what piramidischa Cheops with sunlit tip of lemon lavender and dark cellars, in which even scared to look.
Shalimar clearly arranged, it does have an aura, trail, decent stamina and magic ... which does not help all that will never ever forget.

What's next? Then I would have looked for a fragrance that over time has changed beyond recognition.
2. Arpege Lanvin.
Shalimar also nonecha is not something that just now, but you can learn, but reformulated Arpege very radical, and in this sense he is able to surprise. It is also easy to get, but with the preservation of already not so good, often broken tops. Buy is only spirits.

And she was the first fork in the road. There may be ways to disperse those who want to go the path of the researcher and those who collect emotions and pleasure.
The researcher should definitely get
3. Chypre Coty. It is better to run for the old spirits, but will come down and edp 70. Tualetku not take - not.

Hedonists at the same time it is necessary to plunge into the memories and go in search of "nostalgic product range." What I was of your mother? What were your first perfume?
4. Femme Rochas in the 80s was very much changed, and then completely disappeared. It is very different in perfumes, in a column in the toilet waters, edp. In order not to be disappointed, look exactly the bottle he was with you sometime.

5. In Search of Mother's Climat Lancome willy nilly you have to become a researcher, as there were different issues, many licenses and frank Deribas. Instead Climat maybe Magee Noir Mystery or Roche or something like that, you need only to you (there is still a hundred thousand tetenek with the former Soviet Union).

6. Fidji Guy Laroche almost nothing to give the researcher, but will give a lot of pleasure. Of course, they are not cheap and are the subject of hunting for perfume speculators, but so with all nostalgic.

While nostalgic save money on Climat, a researcher can still save.
7. Still, L'Heure Bleue Guerlain is much more common, is not bad at all concentrations, but the older, the better.
L'Heure Bleue - is the key to understanding of Guerlain, to the understanding of the majority of the pre-war scents to understand the handwriting of Jacques Guerlain. It would be great if this fragrance you will meet at the beginning of the path. Do not be afraid and do not worry if you can not understand and accept it right away. Just let it always be at hand. Miracle recognition necessarily happen.

I try something from Guerlain, something from Lancome sure you express interest in the history of the houses.
8. Why Mitsouko Guerlain is available for more than 90 years? Why write and argue about it? What's so special? In Mitsouko have something to think about, even if you are not close chypre. Mitsouko is very different, but to delve into the issues is the one who fell in love with her already. For love is sufficient sample to release any in '93 and besides PDT.

9. 1000 Patou. How would blasphemous as it sounds, everything else at Patou - for a better understanding of, and not mandatory.

10. Fleurs de Rocaille Caron good in the modern version, but we need to find an old perfume house for understanding. As it has an incredible density of meanings and feelings inherent Caron, there is detachment and, at the same time, power. If L'Heure Bleue and Mitsouko keys to Guerlain, the Fleurs de Rocaille by Caron.

11. Nuit de Noel Caron - the dark side of the house. These spirits are in good preservation can turn everything inside. Maybe not immediately, not from the first meeting. Just remember it.

12. L`Air du Temps Nina Ricci does not necessarily have, but it would be nice to know. Once it was one of the best-selling fragrances in the world. Women always prefer soft leather flowers shipram. However, now these flowers may seem deflating. Perfume by Nina Ricci - it is also an opportunity to hold in their hands graceful lalikovskie bottles. If you love perfume, sooner or later you will come to the fact that packaging is important too.

13. Eau Sauvage Dior important for researchers of history home, is important in the history of men's fragrances, is important in the study of handwriting of the author, Savage - one of the brightest pages in the history of perfume advertising. Many Savage not need Obtain at least a thumbnail. But try not to miss.

Next, what would I do perfume offered enthusiastic person - is to start to explore the flavors of classes. East amber, east spetsievy, chypre such chypre syakie, some terrible aldehydes. What is all this?
For example ambergris East can return to Shalimar or go further.
14. Habit Rouge Guerlain. This fragrance answers to several questions, such as what can be a men's fragrance to a woman, and whether bright oriental fragrance to be courageous.

A theme of the East spoke perfectly reveal
15. Opium Yves Saint Laurent. For it will be pulled lauderovsky Tsinnabar and others, but with the Opium better start and if you do not plan to go further in this direction, and vice versa if you want to keep it there. If you have cold skin, try to find a little old spirits.

With a glass is not so simple.
16. Great Fougere Royale Houbigant almost impossible to find, but it is necessary to try. Kill, steal, but Obtain the tube or at least the ability to stick his nose in. Only Fougere Royale will help decipher the glasses as a class.

And in anticipation of love with a glass room 1 Meet with a glass number 2
17. Jicky Guerlain. Surprisingly tenacious formulation in which our days from the original idea has remained practically nothing, but the flavor continues to be interesting. Zhiki - is not only an example of one of the oldest wine glasses, but also an example of migration in flavors sex, an example of the fine multigendera.

Jicky Guerlain
Aldehydes. For me it was the most difficult step. Understanding it is not very direct and not in the forehead, so I can not suggest the shortest route and the most convenient point for the review. No Arpezh or Chanel №5, either White Linen not advanced enough, but I still suggest to keep them in sight.
18. Especially White Linen Etee Lauder. After he rocked me to Chanel 22, and then came the thrust to much that can remain outside of this list.

On thorns I can talk for a long time. If you open the card fragrances Haarmann and Reimer, you will see that they take up almost half of it. But I would not have recommended that Shipra grasp at once, at first it's better flowers and east and then chypre. Better to start with the fruit. Suppose Chypre Coty you've tried or purchased with Femme Rochas nostalgic, with touched Mitsouko Guerlain. If it is interesting to move on, I would suggest that crawl on the timeline.
19. Diorella - apotheosis and apofigey fruity chypre, from her close to the Champagne / Ivressa, and the road can be a lot of where to roll.

20. Miss Dior as an example of the flower powder. Do not try to catch certainly old spirits, they are very poorly kept. But do not take in liquid concentrations.

Leather chypre much skin in their different nature, but some are very important for the understanding of the topic. Among the sagebrush worth trying Cabochard Gres, Balmain, Ellipse, Sikkim, but necessarily - Bandit Piguet (the list it will take another point). From leather tar try to get the tube
21. Cuir de Russie Chanel.
The only flavor of this house, which is unrecognizable in its modern incarnation, and is irreplaceable, because it opens a whole class of fragrances.

Among woody chypre should look
22. Coriandre Jean Couturier, because he, too, is class-and at the beginning of the path, which may be of interest to many. It stretches the thread to Paloma Picasso, Aromatiks elixir Nouingu, etc., etc..

Green chypre searched almost the same place where the wood, but I would have brought a separate branch of chypre with galbanum dominant. They dominated in the late 60's - early 70's, many of them still exist.
23. Chamade Guerlain or Chanel №19. On request, you can replace the word "or" with "and". Unfortunately, galbanum kept bad, be careful.

Following is called Galbanum Vetiver. He was not educated class, but a very strong influence on the flavors of their time, especially in men's fragrances.
24. Vetiver Guerlain for starters, because it is the easiest to understand. Then you can look for vetiver in the men's colognes or chypre bases.

After thorns I tried to strain the memory and try to find the required reference floral aromas, but could not remember. Highlights among the flowers bloom spices, moss or aldehydes other classes. Personally, I seem exciting cloves Bellodzhii, but to call them binding can not.
Next, the researcher has to come a point of interest in perfumery, his handwriting, his style and influences quest.
25. and 26. Germaine Cellier, with its Bandit Piguet and Vent Vert Balmain. Large brush strokes, bright colors, innovation, courage. After her work of perfume took ostentatious affectation and weakness.

27. and 28. Diorissimo and Diorama Rudnichki, researcher of depths, the author of the most beautiful chypre, magician. Getting to know his work is not limited to these two flavors, but these - the most important to understand. They are very hard to find in good condition. Look, try, not necessarily in the bottle can be in samples.

29. and 30. Caleche Hermes and Madame Rochas Guy Robert. However, Madame Rochas namuchaetes you - it's very bad kept, to get a full live specimen oh how difficult.

You can continue on, but after 30 points, I would have stopped legal speeches. If you've tried everything, and one way or another to get from point A to point B, then imagine the good ground plan, and you do not need guides.
