Timeless white musk with a flaw
Most of this scent is really nice: Classic, clean white musk, sparkling aldehydes, sweet almonds and vanilla, and a bit of a woodruff vibe due to the combination of coumarin and freshness.
I find it rather timeless for something that was issued in the 70s. Soft and fluffy with that reliable, skin-like musk note that has been in drugstore fragrance and oils for decades. I like this kind of musk much better than some of the sharp, abrasive musks in recent creations.
Unfortunately there is one thing that really throws me off: This has an unpleasant, dusty overtone to my nose that keeps me from enjoying the rest of the scent. Somehwat like the smell in old basements or attics. Ugh, what a pity! It gets better after a couple of hours, but I can't deal with it for that long.
Therefore I'm all in all not that impressed, but I imagine that it might smell better on others.
