Empreinte (1971) (Eau de Toilette)

It opens cool and green with peach, aldehydes, artemisia, coriander and bergamot. The heart turns floral with jasmine, iris and rose, while melon adds a light fruity touch. The base is dry and woody, built on patchouli, oakmoss, cedar and sandalwood, with castoreum and amber lending a leathery, spicy warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily and business wear lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine, though a fair share call it masculine. Sisley Eau de Sisley 2 and Rochas Eau de Rochas (1970) have a close profile.
