It's gorgeous .
I've been struck dumb .
Created in 1934 by Andree Fraysee , Rumeur is a dark , mysterious foray into mossy , fuity , spicy , leathery : secrets told in the dead of night , whispered when all the world is asleep , remembered for eternity .
Nothing is out of place in Rumeur - nothing exta , nothing left out .
Notes according to Octavian :
peach, plum, dark vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom, clove, civet, tobacco and cuir de russie bases
There are indolic white flowers hidden there , and lots of moss . A chypre dream wrapped in lace and leather and ripe fruit !
The Puredistance " M " has arrived , so watch for my review and give-away Friday , my birthday .

You make this sound.....incredible.
That is bad, as it's a bit tough to find.
Certainly different from current Rumeur, which resembles nothing so much as current Chloe, which resembles everything else fruity-floral.....sigh.
I agree, this sounds absolutely amazing. And I agree re: the current Rumeur, which I find absolutely vile.
The stuff of legend! Are those days gone forever? I'm afraid so, unless some "outlaw" perfumers can prevail.
Happy birthday to you!! Please dont' enter me in the draw as I already have those and have yet to even sample them! But just had to comment on your glorious day!
Happy Birthday to the other carol!! I am probably too late for the draw but not to late to send a greeting to you. Of course as you know I would love those dark ingredients, so exciting to go to bed with even if alone.
