Tobacco pouches in the 80s

Back in the 80s, we couldn't afford filter cigarettes. The tobacco for turning was stored in a leather case. the leaves in the tobacco pouch. So that the tobacco did not dry out, a piece of apple was gladly put into it. That's how Bois d'Ombrie smells to me. A memory of old times, but nothing I like to wear as a fragrance. Very masculine, in any case. For men with beards and lumberjack shirts. Not for the gentleman in the suit. I'd even like the scent on such a nature-loving guy in his log cabin in the vastness of Canada. I'd find him uncomfortable with a businessman.

The Baron in the Trees

The order of Baume du Doge was also a sample of Bois d Ombrie with.
This morning directly times sprayed on. Woody spicy according to the description, why not even test.
A medium-strong spray on the wrist and whoops : it rose smoke !
And quite strong, but unlike other candidates I'm here not immediately landed in the cold ashtray or can even still "smell the ham aroma with", as it was paraphrased in another fragrance once so beautiful. :-)
The smoke settles a bit and it turns green. No incense, but patchouli I also do not make out as usual. Like many of my pre-reviewers I also see no scent progression.
Everything interwoven, everything holds the balance, nothing stands out unpleasantly. Carrot or cognac I do not make out.

Personally, I thought directly of a tale by Italo Calvino, hence the title :
The Baron in the Trees.
A wonderful story, as are all his tales.
The hero starts in the village of Ombrosa and he experiences his area as so densely forested that he can make his way to the coast and the sea without ever having to set foot on the ground.
The imagery of this truly daredevil tale makes me like the fragrance even more.
For sure, this fragrance is considered rather masculine.
But I have at no time the desire to wash down in and enjoy it today as a beautiful sillage.
Maybe not a going out fragrance but a niche for the time out at home.

A Fragrant Road Worth Travelling

Eau d'Italie BOIS D'OMBRIE opens powerfully with an intense and complex leather, wood, and myrrh amalgam which I'd almost describe as Sergesque. The myrrh, in particular, has a rubbery scent on my skin and makes this seem dubiously unisex, at least initially. It would probably appeal to butch biker chick, but not really to me.

Later, however, BOIS D'OMBRIE becomes much smoother and more inviting to my nose. At this point, I begin to catch tiny wafts of Cognac, benzoin, and tobacco and, at last, a touch of florality, though I wouldn't necessarily have identified it as iris without prompting.

The lovely drydown is definitely more unisex than the opening, and I can understand how and why so many people have fallen in love with this Bertrand Duchaufour creation. A fragrant road well worth travelling!

I smell like nachos! Ick!

What on earth is this horrid note or ingredient that is featured in this perfume and in Coven that smells like I rubbed green bell pepper all over myself?! I don't get any of the other notes. I smell like a box of nachos with slices of jalapeno on top. I wanted so badly to get the dampness and earthiness that I have read others get, but as I already said, this is green, spicy bell pepper with a dash of jalapeno on me. One of the worst scents imaginable. Repulsive.
