To my nose it's not a bad scent nowadays but I had the chance to smell the vintage edt and perfume and this is closer to the edt indeed. Brighter, specially for the topnotes and it's pleasant for the summer, yes. I only complain about the base: too much of clean musks, almost no vetyver and a dull woody palisandrol note compared to the sharp, earthy vetyver of the original. C'mon this si Piguet, all his scents were edgy, Guichard should have dared a lil bit more :)Magnifiscenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531334215047443456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497375210793278232.post-4480095216596488122012-03-01T01:59:58.998+01:002012-03-01T01:59:58.998+01:00I've finally decided to try my sample of the c...I've finally decided to try my sample of the current Futur. I cannot comparer it to the vintage version, which i imagine to be much better and richer than the current one, but so far i found the current Futur a very good fragrance, not sensational, but very good. On my skin i see that Aurelien tried to recreate the green accord using an intense orange flower accord paired with something slightly aldeidic and a clean green note. This combination made its first minutes very retro, a green flowery accord with something soapy and sharp. Then on me after some minutes the bushy aspect of orange flower takes place and it's accompanied with a shy but noticeable mossy accord. I can get the vetiver on the base, it's more leafy than woody and leathery, it's a discreet vetiver aroma. I see that for a while this is what is the future of green chypre fragrances, with the notes there but very delicate, with the intensity only taking the first minutes of the evolution. I'd love if it was more fullbodied, but the way it is it's an unusual summer fragrance...Henriquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11630121891497607648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497375210793278232.post-35467013842206942582011-08-23T20:30:00.227+02:002011-08-23T20:30:00.227+02:00Welcome back Simone,

That's funny indeed the "back to the future" idea, as funny as some space age design pieces :)Magnifiscenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531334215047443456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497375210793278232.post-12053967322542715122011-08-15T19:31:20.849+02:002011-08-15T19:31:20.849+02:00I agree with you 100% about the base - could be mo...I agree with you 100% about the base - could be more interesting. That said, it is fantastic that you can find those vintage fragrances untouched and preserved! I never did...<br />Even funnier i to write about a fragrance called Futur, that is in fact, a vintage. Like watching movies or reading books when future was the year 2000!!!<br />bacci Simone+ Q Perfume Bloghttp://www.maisqueperfume.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
