Tosca Tosca for women

Like so many others of you this is probably the first perfume bottle I had a sniff of.. when rummaging through my Grandmother's dressing table. The forbidden act of "using" perfume was the only exciting thing about it, otherwise its fragrance until today can only be described as Eau de Hell for me!!!

This is my first perfume. I was in my first year and my mum was always put this perfume on me. I love it though... I am 45 now, and I still love it.

I don`t like it myself. But it`s my granny`s scent. And I have lot of sweet memories... It`s very old fashion.

I love this one. There is considerable difference between eau de cologne, eau de toilette and eau de parfum. The cologne smelles very sharp and soapy and I would not recommend it. The other two are much warmer/nicer. If girls think it's 'old woman' and stay away from it - fine with me. I like to use a perfume that is not on everyone else.

well, my friends tosca is back again in my country. you will find it at hondos center in new packaging and it costs only 11 euro. but lasts only 1-2 hours.

ok, maybe its an old fashioned scent... but how it smells! damn beautiful for an old fashioned perfume! i have never tried Tosca in the summertime and today it surprised me much with the amazing sounding. beautiful ylang-ylang, patchouli, amber with the delicate touch of narcissus and deep soft rose. and i guess, many-many years ago it was the one of the most popular perfumes! i don't know how a new Tosca smells like, i have an old version. could be interesting to read the review of the person who has both of them...

This is the perfume my mother used to wear back in the 70s and 80s. It reminds me of her a lot. At that time, most women wouldn't buy expensive perfumes and they would wear them in special days or occasions (Sundays, weddings, cocktail parties, etc). It is descent, soapy and clean perfume, it lasts for about 2-4 hours and it recognisable. This means it has character and thus, deserves to be given a chance. Mostly recomended for spring time.

I was first introduced to Tosca by the much-older daughter of my Dad's best friend. She wore this as her regular scent and every time I smell it I think of her. It's very evocative for me, but I tend to reserve it for hot summer days because it is so light and fresh. I bought my bottle on a trip to Germany in 1988, so I've been nursing it carefully for a while. It's a bit heavier than 4711 original EDC, I'm a patchouli freak, and it's my go-to summer scent that has patchouli without being cloying/overpowering.

They don't sell it anymore in my country (at least I don't see it anymore in the shops) but some (long) time ago, I got myself over the name..'Tosca'...I did not find that name very inviting for some reason, nor did I find the bottle and package inviting.
But one day I just tested it...Wow..I simply couldn't believe that something as cheap (!!) and simple as that could smell so delightful!
It smells clean and a little soapy, hard to describe, but very delicate and still intriquing enough to feel feminine, elegant and sexy, but in a decent way.
The lastingpower and sillage are wonderful and still it's not offensive and never 'too much'...
Got many compliments, wearing it, too.

Mmmm...see if I can order it...after finding out that many scents that aren't on the shelfs anymore, still can be ordered (like Jil Sander Woman III)...I might give it a try.

An oriental floral to wear in the heat of summer daytime, unlike other orientals (Panthere, for example, or L'Heure Bleu, or Nuit de Noel) which I tend to reserve for evenings in fall and winter.

The patchouli is barely noticeable & perhaps that's why it seems more summery while still having an oriental flair. Make no mistake though, there is a certain 'heaviness' here, despite the citrus in the opening.
