Leather and Smoke

I finally got a bottle after wanting it for years. I am impressed. To my nose, I am getting hints of Ralph Lauren's sadly discontinued CHAPS, Knize Ten and Stetson Original. Smells rich and classy. Perfect for Fall and Winter. Apparently this was first released way back in the 1960's and is still in production. It has an air of mystery to it, a cloudy breezy cool autumn day with the smell of smoke in the wind, as you walk through a long forgotten path in the woods while wearing your leather jacket and every step you take crushes the fallen leaves underfoot. Elsha 1776 gives off a beautiful, mysterious Autumn vibe. I highly recommend it.

Quintessentially old-school American

A very "American" fragrance. I would group this with Stetson Original, Mary Kay Tamerisk, and perhaps even with Paul Sebastian Fine Cologne. They are not smell-alikes, necessarily, but they all evoke a quintessentially old-school American feeling, like a meeting among founding fathers, or a visit to a barbershop in the old west. 1776 would be the best of the bunch among those; it is quite good. I guess "creamy" is the most obviously common aspect of the fragrances I mentioned. Elsha 1776 distinguishes itself from the others by being a leather fragrance, but the leather in 1776 is not too potent or animalic. So, you are not taking any social risks by wearing 1776, other than possibly being perceived as wearing an "old guy's cologne," as some people tend to say. I am beyond such worries, since I do not subscribe to the "old guy", "old lady", "high school kid", etc. frames used for fragrances, and I am not young enough to care about being perceived as old. However, the best use of 1776 for me is at home, with a robe de chambre on, and a good (preferably history) book in hand.
