Bain de Champagne (Royal Bain de Caron), from Caron was released in 1923. The perfumer behind this creation is Ernest Daltroff. It has the top notes of Lilac and Rose, middle notes of Benzoin, Incense, and Opoponax, and base notes of Amber, Cedarwood, Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla.
This is as classic as floriental amber gets but for all it's 'classicness' it's quite odd. Dated is the word for this one, seriously dated. The floral opening (must be lilac?) is actually quite pleasant but not to my taste. Then the heart of this fragrance is opoponax, benzoin and vanilla. It's very balmy and powdered I sort of love it. Royal Bain represents the warm elements I love in perfume but somehow it's not something I could wear. I can't explain it...there's a certain stigma to it. On my skin a bit strange but I could imagine it being incredible in a hot bath so I've purchased it for my girlfriend for christmas.
