Euforia
Atkinsons (1985)

At last, I found my nonpareil of cyclamen perfumes. For those who smell cyclamen that is sold at your grocers' florist, you may not find there is not much of a smell at all. One may, at the most, smell vaguely dusty and waxy. A truly fragrant cyclamen, however, would be that of wild Persian cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum), which is the parent of the florist's cyclamen for which we are familiar. Its smell is reminiscent of an "alto" lily of the valley or bluebell: sweetly green, juicy, with rosy overtones. If one is lucky, they may find cyclamen strains that are marketed specifically for their fragrance, like that of Miracle, or Sweet Scented varieties but as with many florist blooms, all the scent has been bred out in favor of appearance.

I have not been able to determine exactly who was the perfumer for Euforia, but they clearly were inspired by perfumers Edmond Roudnitska and Raymond Chaillan, who incorporated overripe melon accords into Diorella and Quartz, respectively. However, Euforia was released in 1985, and there is what seems to be an overdose of Cyclamen Aldehyde, which was developed by Givaudan in 1919 and has seen use in many classics over the years. In Euforia, the almost musty, glazed back note that is a signature of cyclamen aldehyde (and the fragrant flower) is in full effect, and combined with a cantaloupe melon accord, peach lactones, damscones and ionones.

Topped with green hesperidic notes and underlined with woods and musk, this is the one of the best fruity chypres I've laid my nares on, quenching my olfactory bulb with a smell that matches the bulging contours of the Serge Mansau-designed bottle. Those who have a yen for the aforementioned 70s beauties or enjoy Grojsman's Calyx will be in for a treat with this forgotten treasure. 

Lastly, I am fairly Brian Buchanan had in his possession a soured and turned sample.
