(Personally, I'm sure My Sin - is an aphrodisiac). If you want vintage perfume with "animals" notes, try Tabu by Dana, Intimate by Revlon, or Primitif from Max Factor.

Some people happened to be disappointed after the acquisition of the spirits that are improperly stored.

• Which brands are most popular among collectors of vintage perfume?

The most cherished desires of collectors - this, of course, Guerlain and Chanel, as well as Caron, Lanvin, and other well-known brands.

• Why did the spirits were different, better or worse than now?

Usually I'm not sad about the fact that "all was not like in the old days." But if you like the spirits, it is useful to know what they were before, and, of course, something in vintage spirits better than today. For example, several decades ago, women had a greater range of acceptable flavors; it consisted of notes, which are now considered to be masculine. Oak moss and other important ingredients are not prohibited and are not subject to strict legal regulation as it is today. Octavian Kuafan Luca Turin and publicly stated that after 2010 will not be done any of this chypre fragrance because of restrictions permissible number of essences of oak moss in perfumery. A whole class of fragrances virtually disappeared ...

A few decades ago, there were brands that produce quality and cheap perfume. Now cheap perfume is wholly made of artificial ingredients and its quality leaves much to be desired.

In flavors of the past, in general, more depth and completeness than today odors. Probably the fact that it is very rarely used the ingredients of animal origin, and some species of musk considered unsafe.
