The other Yuppie scent
This perfume appears in the closet of the character Patrick Bateman (portrayed by Christian Bale) in the movie "American Psycho" (2000). This movie alludes to the Yuppie generation of the late 80s, with the story taking place in 1991.
So they were wrong to place this perfume, launched in 1996, in a story that alludes to the late 80s, early 90s.

undemanding unisex
The Caron website lists the notes for this as "rosewood, aquatic fruits, and gaiac wood." But when I look up "aquatic fruits," they consist of species like watercress, water chestnuts, taro, lotus, and lemongrass. I truly don't think any of those are in here. (Well, lotus is possible, I guess.) It's also not especially woody. Of the notes listed here on Parfumo, geranium seems the most prominent to me.

This is an uplifting, fresh scent that's not quite a traditional cologne and not very similar to modern aquatics. A reviewer at another site compared this to thick, fluffy towels, and that sounds about right to me if, before drying off with the fluffy towels, I'd been caught in a cold rainstorm. It also seems like it would go with a white tennis outfit.

Caron lists it as a scent for women, but it smells to me like the platonic ideal of unisex. It's not the most unusual perfume I've smelled, but it is entirely pleasant and probably deserves more attention than it gets.
