Bottle was properly stored in temperature controlled conditions from purchase in 1974.
Beautiful color, no brown edges. It screams FRANCE, the air, the terroir, the countryside. Fresh, well balanced lovely fragrance of mixed fruits. Mouthwatering.
Perfume adds into the bouquet after 10 minutes. Layers of raspberry, strawberry, peach, figs alternate with each other. Lots of complexity, good finish.
The bouquet stays for a couple of hours, really did not open until after perhaps 60 minutes.
