Bourbon French Sesquessence

Described as a fruity floral creation to mark the 150th anniversary of Bourbon French Parfums (1993), Sesquessence is further described as having light spices and a dark musk. This, as is always the case in my experience with BF, is quite accurate.

A delightfully old-fashioned (in a good sense) parfum with all the richness of a ladies' scent from the 1930s or 1940s. Superbly blended florals so seamless that I can't pick out a single one, mixed with what seem to be plum and peach, float over a touch of cinnamon and that serious musk. This seems to be ideal for a formal evening out, dinner followed by opera or theater. It cries out for furs – Garbo in Wild Orchids – and is for me a very palpable hit.

First edit: As I live with this scent I am reminded of Corday's Possession with its buttery central note of gentian violet. Very similar.

Bourbon French Parfums is a true find for the vintage lover. Superbly blended oils with over 70 creations, 15 for the gentleman, nearly 30 soliflores, and as many house creations. Very much worth sampling for the lover of vintage parfums.
