Christian Dior Mitzah
I was in the mood for a spicy Oriental, and this is just so good.

Yes, these older Diors from their exclusive line are really quite something. They remain quite smooth all the way through the drydown, which lasts for hours. They don't devolve into a synthetic mess, which many perfumes at much higher price points cannot claim to do.
It's amazing how the scents tom the 70's last. Several years ago I came across 2 bottles of Pauline Trigere from the 70's. I was working in a dept store at the time and loved stopping at the perfume counter. One of the saleswoman wore it so I was well acquainted with it. The bottles still smelled great, and not needing 2 I sold one on Ebay. It turns out the buyer had worked for Pauline Trigere during her heady.She sent me several pics of her with Pauline. It was my most positive Ebay sale ever.
Today a real oldie, Vent Vert by Balmain.The original, not the awful copy they made later.
Two more shops to get great HTF samples. Lucky Scent is pretty well known, and Aedes de Venustas. Sadly they no longer carry Perfumes de Nicolai, but lots of HTF. I have gotten several Santa Maria Novello there.

I love the selection at Lucky Scent, but I hate their samples. They're so tiny and they're dabber samples, which are not as good for sampling. I've visited their New York store, and while I loved it, it was incredibly overwhelming because of the selection and how it was organized.
I've only ever visited the Aedes store, and unfortunately, they don't see any samples at the store. I love their house like, though: Aedes de Venustas. They have some really very good ones as part of their line.
Acqua di Parma Bergamotto di Calabria
This is a nice fragrance for just the afternoon--since it won't last long, which is why I hardly ever wear it.

I love original vent vert
in homage to your post, will do the same! I have the square half ounce bottle, offset label, upper left. Love your anecdote re Trigere.
