1969 was a nice surprise. I tried it without knowing what I was getting into and I expected it to be more… vintage?

Peach here is not as feminine leaning as it often is. For me the cardamom is the main player as it opens and I get some nutmeg-esque undertones as well. There’s a hint of a brighter rose coming through.

Now, coffee and chocolate are listed and maybe I can picture those…maybe not? It’s not really diving into gourmand territory at least for me. It’s a bit sweet, but also a bit tart and the cardamom seems to be the star of the show. I really liked this one though.
