Odor profile:

One of the iconic architectural perfumes (along with Chanel No.5, Dior Poison and YSL In Love Again).

Due to considerable portion of aldehydes, combined with floral essential oils, and powdery oriental base, the resulting scent has no analogs in nature. Maybe that's what it smells like in the Garden of Eden?

Climat’s aroma is quite peculiar (you did not smell anything like this before) and irrevocably attributed to Climat (as no other similar scent yet created).

Main notes to mention aldehydes, bergamot, violet, peach, lily of the valley, narcissus, ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose, orris, sandalwood, vetiver, incense, tonka bean, musk, ambergris, civet.

Dating clues:

1. The flacon started marking with 14 ml in 1974. Yes, on this flacon.

2. Since 1975 flacons started making by Pochet et du Courval (HP) with sicker glass, just bigger pedestal and simpler molding in bottom. You can see only LANCOME and HP.  Yes, it’s true for this flacon, and it holds 14 ml maximum.

3. Box after 1975 became intense blue with bigger pedestal holder. New reference code system. Yes, for this box.

4. I wonder why the box marked with 15 cc. No idea.
