What does Nostalgie smell like?
The floral side carries jasmine absolute, mimosa, Bulgarian rose and violet, with peach and aldehydes adding a soft, fruity brightness. Underneath, oakmoss, leather, myrrh and Indian patchouli give it a woody, resinous, animal base. Tonka bean, vanilla and French beeswax sweeten that dry foundation.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though few people have voted, so treat those ratings as tentative. It reads equally well on men and women, with a classic chypre character. Weil Chunga and Francesca Bianchi The Lover's Tale have a close profile.
