A masculine, sophisticated fragrance with the scent of herbs from Provence, enriched by the wealth of exotic essential oils, and a persistent note reminiscent of tobacco and musk, which gives it its strength and staying power, PACO RABANNE writes in the fragrance brochure.
The note reminiscent of tobacco is (the Greek treasure of the island of Chios), which is called MASTIC.

FIRST EDITION
This product has nothing to do with products in similar or identical boxes, appearances, or names; we are talking about completely different products. As the Greek saying goes, don't confuse a brush with something else.
As you will see in the photos, something has darkened at the bottom of the bottle. This is proof that the product is vintage and that its contents are mostly natural/botanical, unlike modern products.
Some natural/botanical ingredients do not dissolve completely in alcohol, such as genuine bergamot , which forms sediment over the decades and, when shaken, appears as flakes. The same happens with patchouli, vetiver, and other botanical ingredients with high viscosity.
Due to the abundance of botanical ingredients in the product, clumping (grains) may occur. If this happens, shake the product for 3–4 minutes. Possible color variations or microscopic particles in suspension do not affect the quality of this fragrance.
