Ecusson Long Lost Perfume for women

I also bought Ecusson on my honeymoon! In Bermuda in 1967.

Nothing, nothing, has ever been able to replace this enchanting fragrance for me. It was my signature and I rarely told anyone its name.........

I'm reluctant to try LLP's version because I only wore the perfume. D'Albret's EDT was too different.

Still miss it after all these years.

I bought this originally on my honeymoon in Jamaica in 1958. For some years I was able to buy it only in upper-end department stores, last of all only in John Wanamaker. That classic, classy store also eventually closed. Ecusson disappeared from my marketing capabilities, and I had to move on to other scents. Even my friends missed it, because it was all I wore and was rather known for it. I even tried to find it in Vienna in 1985, but the saleswomen were so young they had never heard of it! About two years ago, when I first started to explore the internet and found eBay, I actually found a bottle of the Eau de Cologne. It came in the original packaging, unopened, and proved to be just as endearing a fragrance as I had remembered. I have no experience of the new product.

I am in possession of a vintage .25oz bottle of this one in pure parfum, Jean D'Albert version. It took me well over a year to find out what it was as there were no labels on the curvy bottle with pointy red top. Thank goodness for Ebay or I'd still be wondering.
Based on the maroon plastic cap, I'd date the bottle I have to the '80's so not sure if it is the original scent or a reform.
The jus itself is very rich, full bodied and deep, verging on a floral chypre. The top is more orange than lemon, full of aldehydes. There's a slight clove nuance and it's hauntingly powdery. It's only slightly sweet, the base notes are well blended with no one note sticking out and is very smooth and comforting. The oakmoss and vetiver stand out the most in the drydown.

I used to wear L'Origan in the '70's and if I remember correctly, the two are very similar. Also seems alot like the old Chloe, same family.
I like it very much.

Update: Since this was discontinued in the 70's, my bottle's about a decade older than I thought. Still smells wonderful!
