I have just bought some Jacamo Chicane to bring back 1975 and my absolute perfume heavens are Sortilege and Le Dix. Cannot believe it...I could weep for my youth!

At an antique store, I bought a bottle of uncertain vintage containing some perfume. This is the first vintage pefume I buy, and have no clue whether it's real or not. But anyway, if real, the top and the floral part is mostly gone, what's left is an excellent sandalwoody-ambery drydown that's not too sweet but, at times, almost recalls old books (off notes? but they're not bad at all). And just a drop is enough.<br /><br />caciocaciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17902017914305322799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-5761807914000106472011-08-17T07:51:26.722-04:002011-08-17T07:51:26.722-04:00Sortilège used to be my favorite as a young girl b...Sortilège used to be my favorite as a young girl back in the 1970's. I was surprised to read your comment about wearing it with Jeans because that's about all I wore back then. I remember liking "Femme" a lot also, but thinking I was too young to pull that off.<br />A few years ago, I thought about buying a bottle and was sorry to learn that it was no longer manufactured.<br />Maybe I'll try the Long Lost version...<br />Thanks for posting...B.
