New Niche Fragrance Review: Von Eusersdorff New York Classic Orange, Classic Patchouli, Classic Myrrh, Classic Mimosa, and Classic Vetiver + Extravaganza Draw

Von Eusersdorff Header CaFleureBon

According to Camille Henfling, the Netherlands-based perfumer and creative director behind the Von Eusersdorff line, the Von Eusersdorff family was prominent in trading rare oils and flower essences and running apothecaries as far back as the fifteenth century. As a direct descendant of that lineage, Mr. Henfling made a late-career decision to carry on his heritage and create perfume. Studying in Grasse to hone his skills, and working with an experienced team, he has created a line of well-made perfumes that are based on classic perfumery notes. He launched the line in 2010 with Classic Patchouli, followed by Classic Myrrh, Classic Mimosa, and Classic Vetiver in 2011.

Von Eusensdorff Orange CaFleureBon

Blue Oranges by Jeffrey Terrison

The newest addition to the line is Classic Orange, released this year. Starting with a fresh, crisp orange, with a marmalade bitter edge, this is an engaging, wearable entry into the more complex, less cologne-style citrus scent family. It would be appropriate to wear to a family dinner or holiday event where you want to smell good but not clash with the food or traditional décor aromas. It could certainly be worn year-round, of course, but I have an eye toward the upcoming seasonal festivities, and can see this as an easy choice. Nicely done, with moderate sillage.

Notes: Sicilian blood orange, petit grain, black tea accord, osmanthus, Haitian sandalwood, musky notes

Von Eusensdorff Mimosa CaFlereBon

Mimosa by Marion Hedger

I started my foray into the rest of the collection with Classic Mimosa. I enjoy the scent of mimosa (or acacia) and am always intrigued by perfumes with that note. The perfume opens astringent and leafy, with the mimosa making its presence known right away. I enjoy the dusty, sunny nature of this note; it’s not dewy and pretty like many florals, but smells like dry grasses and heat. As the fragrance settles in, it develops a slightly soapy nature, like a really good French linden spa soap. The opening sillage is voluminous and bright, but it settles down to the occasional surprise wisp pretty quickly. Next to skin, the drydown retains that dryly grassy nature, and is quite lovely.

Notes: bergamot, neroli, green leaves, mimosa, violet, rose, marine, musk, orange blossom, vanilla

Von Eusensdorff vetiver cafleurebon

Grasslands 5 by Nanci Erskine

Classic Vetiver is heavy on the citrus and light on the vetiver. Vetiver can easily overwhelm a scent composition, so it’s nice to find a clean, light vetiver perfume that also has some substance. The fragrance has enough complexity to make it interesting and let it stand out from other perfumes that feature this note. As the scent settles down, it delivers a pleasantly clean, slightly spicy aura. It’s a worthy addition to the vetiver genre.

Notes: grapefruit, bergamot, lemon, geranium, elemi, peppercorn, cedarwood, black patchouli, Haitian vetiver

von eusensdorff myrrh cafleurebon

Fantasy Forest by Wei Wei Hua

Myrrh is so warming; it’s one of my favorite cold-weather perfume aromas. Classic Myrrh is a lovely, incensey, woody, dark perfume that envelops you in a warm cloud of rich smokiness. It is not so smooth that you just fall into it, though; there are peaks and valleys, from the sudden crispness of violet leaf to the deep patchouli. I had interesting impressions while wearing this, of tromping through a dark deep forest full of spiritual magic wrapped in smoky skins and furs. It is a very enjoyable, long-lasting perfume.

Notes: incense, cedar leaf, petitgrain oranger, guaiac wood, violet, sanderwood, black patchouli, vetiver, Spanish cistus

von eusensdorff patchouli cafleurebon

Underground – Plans by Samuel123

Everyone who knows my tastes knows that I do not shy away from patchouli. Classic Patchouli is true to the spirit of the ingredient, with some sweetness added in just to balance out the drier facets of the note. I am surprised by this perfume, though, because despite the accompanying notes, it is unabashedly dark. When my nose is close to my skin, it is almost like smelling deep, moist earth. Hovering above my skin are the tonka and vanilla playing off of the darkness to add some sunshine. The sweeter notes come forward at the far drydown as it all settles into a warm skin scent. It has moderate sillage and good longevity, and patchouli afficionados will apreciate it.

Notes: bergamot, black patchouli, vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood

I enjoyed testing the Von Eusersdorff line; it has variety, it is well-made, and each fragrance plays homage to its main note whilst still giving each some individuality. I’m looking forward to seeing how this line progresses.

I received my samples from Von Eusersdorff New York. The line can be found online at First in Fragrance and Jovoy, priced at €115 for a 100 ml bottle. We hope to see it in the US soon, as well.

  • First of all I loved the review and I love Classic Orange, such a special orange scent. Wonderfulscent!

    From the review I think I would love Classic Mimosa!

    Thank you for the draw! Wish you all the best!

  • I liked that Mr. Henfling made a late career change. And so successfully! That is very inspirational.

    Classic Myrrh sounds beautiful and perfect for this time of year.

    Thank you for the generous draw.

  • I was quite impressed with the history behind this line–fragrance traders in his ancestry back to the 15th Century? That is an amazing perfume pedigree!

    I would choose Classic Vetiver as the full-size, as I am an admirer of the note and this sounds like a lovely and everyday wearable scent.

    I am in the US.

  • I would love to own the Mimosa – it sounds beautiful. What caught my eye was the mention of French linden spa soap. It sounds gorgeous!

    Thank you for such a generous draw!

  • The Classic Orange mention caught my eye, it sounds gorgeous – but so do they all! I think I would just have to choose Classic Patchouli as my full size bottle.

    And then several others…. Myrrh, Mimosa, and of course Orange!!

  • What attracts me? Firstly, names of perfumes, secondly, contrast between names and notes: reading this review I found there is nothing strictly classic in those scents, but some kind of reinterpretation or rather variation on the subject.
    My pick is Classic Myrrh.
    Thank you!

  • I like how the supporting notes lend an unexpected twist to the main players in each fragrance. Or, in the case of Classic Patchouli, a no holds barred boldness!

    If I had to choose, I’d go with Classic Mimosa. I live near the windswept prairie, and the dry, grassy note sounds like home to me.

  • Mimosa, lovely drink as well. lol I was caught off a bit by the mention of the dusty, sunny nature of this scent. That combination must be amazing. I am in the Us. I adore all of the wonderful draws. Thanks

  • I loved the image of the 15th C traders carrying their scented oils… A true journey. I love vetiver, and would love to try the Classic Vetiver. Im in Buenos Aires 🙂

  • First,I must say that the artwork with each of the scents really caught my eye… Stunning.. I am drawn to Mimosa because the notes sound very classic but also very intriguing and the description really got me… French Linden Soap… Dry grasses and heat… I am hooked already!! I live in the U.S. and would be ecstatic to win this draw ~ it sounds like a very special one.Thank You as always for the chance.

  • What a great draw! Classic Myrrh is my choice; you had me at myrrh, which I love, but it’s the “tromping through a dark deep forest full of spiritual magic wrapped in smoky skins and fur” that really caught my attention. Sounds wonderful, thanks to all for the opportunity.

  • Wonderful draw! They all sound great, but Classic Myrrh caught my eye. I like dark scents like these, and with the colder weather upon us, it sounds like a great addition to my perfume wardrobe!

  • I would pick Classic Myrrh as my bottle. I liked the idea of all the perfumes based on single, classic notes. I also liked the artwork 🙂 Thank you!

  • I loved this review… it reminds me of a Waterhouse painting. I like the sound of them all, but keep coming back to Classic Myrrh, which sounds like something I’d want to wear on a date with my hubby when we go see the next installment of The Hobbit. It sounds to me like a New Zealand would feel!

    I’m a US resident.

  • Simple, single note fragrances – I like it! Refreshing in an era of complex scents. I would LOVE to try Classic Myrrh as my full bottle! Thank you so much. 🙂

  • I was drawn in by Mr. Hefling’s making a late career change. There is something wonderful about knowing your heritage and following those footsteps.

    But this Classic Myrrh (which would be my choice, of course!)? It “envelops you in a warm cloud of rich smokiness. . .” and has “the sudden crispness of violet. . .” When I read the list of all the notes in this, I believe I’d swoon upon first sniff. Sounds like it could be my “holy grail!”

  • What a great draw! You had me at the “warm cloud of rich smokiness” in your description of Classic Myrrh. They all sound wonderful, but myrrh is a favorite cold weather note, so that’s the one.

  • I would pick Classic Orange because it sounds perfect to wear to all those holiday dinners. I have a soft spot for complex citruses, and my Theorema is running low. Thanks for the drawing!

  • I love incense and myrrh and your description just made me impatient to try Classic Myrrh.The violet leaf is not a typical choise but I think it could mork out great in this list of ingredients.Thanks for the draw!

  • I would pick Classic Myrrh, and I loved this line: “It is not so smooth that you just fall into it,…” Yes! Exactly the problem with some smooth fragrances.

  • Chapeau Clack says:

    I would love Classic Myrrh. I adore the note, it’s often the one that tips the scale in favor of a fragrance for me. Of course the review makes it sound absolutely irresistible. I grew up in a small town surrounded by dark, dense woods, and forest walks were, and still are when I visit, my form of meditation. It’s one of the things I miss the most here in the smog ridden concrete jungle.

  • What a great (and very generous) draw! Your description of Classic Patchouli caught my eye. I like that Mr. Henfling changed careers late in life-I find that fascinating that he returned to his family heritage of perfumery.

    I’d LOVE the Classic Patchoui, I think the patchouli balanced with creamy Sandalwood vanilla/tonka sounds beautiful!

  • Oh thank you for the draw! I’ve always wanted to try this range but never have gotten around to sampling it. On top of my must-try list is Classic Myrrh. You just said the magic words: “incensey, woody, dark perfume that envelops you in a warm cloud of rich smokiness.” All my favourite elements! I’m just discovering myrrh as a note and this sounds like the perfect take on it!

  • I am most drawn to Classic Myrrh which is described as incensy, smokey and woodsy since I like those types of fragrances. Your description of the Classic Myrrh is what caught my eye. I can almost smell the” dark deep forest full of spiritual magic wrapped in smoky skins and furs.” It sounds so good.

  • Classic Myrrh is my choice for the full bottle. It sounds so good from your description of it. Dark and incensy. Mmmm.

  • greetings from Italy !

    I would love to try the Vetiver fragrance, it sounds tasty and wearable, like that its more citrusy than most.

  • Classic Myrrh caught my eye because of the note, wich I like so much and for the “ups and downs” durring the development
    thanks for the draw

  • Oh gosh, so hard to choose but the Classic Patchouli, definitely the classic Patchouli caught my eye. I’m a fiend for the note, and I’ve been dying to try this scent, along with the rest of the line. I wish Von Eusersdorff were here in the U.S.!

  • The fantastic notes from all of these different fragrances is what first caught my attention. Then, I saw Tama wrote this and that was the selling point for me; another to add to the test list. Any one of these would be a treasure, but I would like to be considered for the Classic Patchouli; dark and sweet. I from the US.

  • I liked the description of the myrrh fragrance, the way it is reminiscent of a deep dark forest, however, I’m a bit of a Vetiver fan, so I’d like to be drawn for Classic Vetiver,
    I’m in the EU, ty

  • Ack! Choices! Your lovely reviews Tama make each of these scents sound desirable. The one that I choose is Classic Orange due to your description of it as “an engaging, wearable entry into the more complex, less cologne-style citrus. scent family.” The notes list looks good too with the black tea and osmanthus.
    The 10 ml sample sets are an excellent idea.

    Thanks for the draw opportunity.

  • I loved the description of Classic Orange, all the notes seem to check off all the correct boxes for me. Would be interesting to see how non-foody the scent turns out to be, as it has all the notes of a good number of teas that I like – the orange, black tea, osmanthus.

  • Classic Myrrh sounds great. The association with the forest picture was all it took to convince me but the smokiness adds a bit extra! I also like the packaging of this line. Nice brand profile!

    Thanks for the draw

  • What a great, generous draw!
    Classic Vetiver immediately caught my eyes, it’s my first choice.

  • Von Eusersdorff with its “single notes” perfumes gives us a very singular way of appreciating perfume notes. I just love acacia or mimosa scents..So ,classic mimosa is the one I would fall for..You had me at “dry grasses and heat”…
    Thank you for this wonderful draw.

  • This line first caught my eye last year by the design of the bottles and perfume concept. The background given in this review really help me fill in the missing holes for me =) I adore all the original 4 scents and I think a full bottle of Classic Mimosa would be just wonderful next to my partial bottles of Classic Myrrh, and Classic Patchouli!

  • Fazal Cheema says:

    There are few perfumers from Netherlands and i think Von Eusersdorff is only the second brand I know from Netherlands. I particularly noticed that Von Eusersdorff family has traded in essences for quite a long time which is why the brand is particularly focusing on certain classic materials. Even before this article, i had heard good things about Classic Patchouli so my choice will be Classic Patchouli. I am in the U.S.

  • My eye was caught by this brand because I have never heard anything about it. Thanks for expanding my knowledge!
    Classic Myrrh sounds gorgeous and I would love to win this.

  • Very interesting that his family has been “trading rare oils and flower essences and running apothecaries as far back as the fifteenth century”! I am intrigued that Mr. Henfling came back to the family business later in life; I am curious what he was doing before.
    This is a very genenerous draw. I’m in the US. I would love to win Classic Patchouli.

  • First of all my attention attracted a portrait of Mr. Henfling: serious look and seemed a bit tragic. I read the article and I think beautifully illustrated descriptions of perfumes caught my eye.
    I wish Classic Myrrh be mine.

  • Classic Myrrh would be my choice since I adore warm essences.
    Tama Blough’s words for describing Classic Myrrh as a “lovely, incensey, woody, dark perfume that envelops you in a warm cloud of rich smokiness: ……. till “I had interesting impressions while wearing this, of tromping through a dark deep forest full of spiritual magic wrapped in smoky skins and furs”…. is the reason that made me pick up this parfum and what impressed me most in this review while the lovely paintings that accompanied each parfum especially the one named Blue Oranges by Jeffrey Terrison gave a really artistic character to the whole article like a revies for fine Arts !
    A very generous draw!!! I live in Europe and would like to win Classic Myrrh

  • I would love a full bottle from all of them. Seriously!
    I am going to pick Classic Patchouli and what determined my choice was the word patchouli. 😉 Also I have a sample and know it is lovely.

    Great reviews. Thank you Tama.

  • I am all for a “dark perfume that envelops you in a warm cloud of rich smokiness”. Classic Myrrh is my choice . I live in the US.
    Amazing to have your heritage go back to the fifteenth century.

  • Hello again from Ireland!I would pick Classic Myhrr, should I be so lucky to win this draw.You had me at deep dark forest:-)

  • I have been very curious about this line so it’s great to see such in depth reviews. They sound anything but classic I would love classic Myhrr. Thank you.

  • That the Von Eusersdorff family was prominent in trading rare oils and flower essences and running apothecaries as far back as the fifteenth century is very impressive. That is give or take 400 years!
    For Mr. Henfling it is just kismet that he now creates perfume. Classic Myrrh for me and I would absolutely delight in sampling anything else Mr. Henfling has created.

  • I liked even more than the text your choice of illustration. It is often easier to understand a perfume like that than words..

    Classic Myrrh sounds beautiful and perfect for my taste.
    (Orange second, Vetiver third)

    Thank you for the generous draw.

  • Valerie Carmine says:

    I like the article. Brevity, pithiness and at the same time sensuality of descriptions attracted me the most. Especially the description Classic Patchouli. It’s what I choose.

  • susie frankel says:

    Changing careers at any time in life is encouraging. Going into the family historical business at last….good for Mr. Henfling! A great draw and I would welcome the Classic Myrrh, even better, the sample set. Thanks

  • I would choose Classic Patchouli but am hankering to try more so hopefully samples will be available in the U.S. soon. I am a huge patchouli fan and the addition of tonka and vanilla sounds sublime. Thanks for the draw!

  • I love citrus scents and have several but have hoped for a richer orange scent for a long time. You had me at bitter marmalade and black tea! I would love a bottle of Classic Orange.

  • I am most keen to try Classic Patchouli. The combination of “unabashedly dark” with a dose of “sunshine” captured my interest. Thanks for the draw!

  • I love the look of Classic Patchouli. What draws me most is this comment: “despite the accompanying notes, it is unabashedly dark.:”
    I love dark, and I’m definitely a patchouli afficionado!

  • I would love to try the Classic Mimosa. I am planning a trip to Provence next year and the description and the Marion Hedger painting had me imagining driving through roads surrounded by mimosa. Plus the description of the drydown as smelling like “good French linden spa soap” is too good to resist!

  • Classic Myhrr.
    This line caught my attention as it is so evocative “I had interesting impressions while wearing this, of tromping through a dark deep forest full of spiritual magic wrapped in smoky skins and furs”.
    It sounds amazing!

  • The name Von Eusersdorff directly caught my eye. I love their patchouli of which I owned a bottle and of which the review is dead-on. I’m very curious for their new scent Classic Orange. But after reading the review (dark deep forest) my choice would be Classic Myrrh.

  • Chris Schaefer says:

    Classic Mimosa would be my first choice. Would love to try the samples though too. Dry and dusty…..bring on the summer! Grasses smell so lovely in the sunshine.

    Thanks so much for the draw and loved your descriptions. Particularly the one of the dark forest……sounded magical!

  • Classic Myrrh sounds fabulous. And I was particularly intrigued by the fact that the Von Eusersdorff family traces its involvement with the apothecary trade so very far back in time–fascinating. Thanks as ever for the draw.

  • Classic Patchouli sounds fantasctic, and that is dark and is a skin scent makes it really attractive specially for the winter.
    This is an amazing draw, thanks a lot.

  • Classic Myrrh
    I love the depth and complexity of myrhh. I agree that it is mystical and transportive.

  • Classic Orange for me please. A citrus that is “less cologne-style” sounds good to me.
    Thanks to generous people of Von Eusersdorff for the giveaway

  • Loved reading of the decision to make a late career change and carry on his heritage.. Classic Myrrh would be my choice. Thanks for the review, Tama & Von Eusersdorff NY for the generous draw.

  • Judy Woodfill says:

    Classic Orange. I really like the idea of being able to wear it to a holiday gathering and not clash with the food.

  • Definitely the Classic Mimosa – my parents had a mimosa tree in their yard as we were growing up and I was obsessed with the scent…

  • Oh, the Classic Myrrh, because of this: “tromping through a dark deep forest full of spiritual magic wrapped in smoky skins and furs.” Maybe it’s just the season, but yes, please!

  • The Classic Orange really caught my attention due to the description that it’s not a typical cologne type citrus – tempting, for sure. But my choice for the full bottle has to be Classic Myrrh as it is a favorite note of mine and the description of this fragrance really sounds like something I would love.

  • meganinstmaxime says:

    Please put me down for Classic Patchouli it sounds wonderful. I’m a sucker for the deep, earthy varieties. I’ve read reviews of this one but never tested it … yet!

  • Classic Myrrh sounds amazing, and perfect for me! This line in particular caught my eye: “It is not so smooth that you just fall into it, though; there are peaks and valleys, from the sudden crispness of violet leaf to the deep patchouli.” Violet leaf and Patchouli are two of my favourite notes, alongside myrrh. This sounds like a really dynamic scent, and I would love to try it.

  • I would pick Classic Mimosa. I loved the picture, and esp. the description of dusty, sunny nature of this mimosa perfume. Also loved the description of ” soapy nature, like a really good French linden spa soap.” These are all well made perfumes!!

  • I always enjoy a dark woody incense during this time of the year. Your description of Classic Myrrh peaked my interest right away. Sounds wonderful! Thank you for the draw! I am in the US.

  • What caught my attention was about his late-career decision to carry on his heritage and create a perfume. With my being 54 years old, on the downside of the middle-age slope, I just feel so excited with my recent full-immersion into the wonderful scented world of perfumery.

    Even though I tend to favor vetiver… via your description I would look forward to sampling Classic Myrrh.

  • Classic Vetiver would be one choice to win. I was attracted to this one because it listed grapefruit as a note. Thank you. USA

  • I would pick the Classic Myrrh, and what caught my attention was the Underground picture (meant for the Classic Patchouli), which seemed quite warm, close and myrrh-like to me.

  • Your description of Classic Myrrh got my attention ight away. Sounds great ! Thank you for the draw! I am in the US.

  • I would love to try Classic Orange. I love orange scent and the fact that, as described, it’s a wearable entry into the more complex less cologne-like orange scents. Thank you.

  • Classic Orange won out of the gate with, “event where you want to smell good but not clash with the food or traditional décor aromas”. My experience is that orange-based perfumes work better with food events than most other kinds, and the holidays are coming quick.

  • leathermountain says:

    I choose Classic Patchouli, and the phrase “like smelling deep, moist earth” is what caught my fancy for sure! Thank you for this generous draw.

  • I would choose Classic Orange. I’m in need of a new everyday fragrance with Orange dominate note. (marmalade with bitter edge! I gonna love this.)
    That ‘tea-accord’ caught me. Thank you for this lovely draw, as always =)

    I’m from Thailand. almost forgot it.

  • What caught my eye about the review was the information that the Von Eusersdorff family was prominent in perfumery since the fifteenth century.
    My choice would be Classic Orange. Thanks for the draw!

  • Thanks for these reviews and draw! I love learning about new lines.
    The part about Mr. Henfling coming to perfumery later in life was especially inspiring.

    Classical Myrrh would be my full bottle choice–enchanted forest, spiritual smoke, I am so there! It was also my favorite picture.

    Random tangent:
    I know what you mean about not clashing with food, other smells, etc during holiday get-togethers. Lightly applied, some more I can think of are Theorema, Frapin 1270, L’air du desert marocain, and O Alquimista. Would love to hear more.
    USA

  • Classic Orange would be my first choice. Thanks for such a generous draw.

    The pictures from this article definitely caught my eye. They have so much texture to them!

  • I would love to win Classic Myrrh.The review was very provocative and as soon as I read “dark deep forest”,”spiritual magic: and “smoky skins:…I was hooked-right up my alley! Great reviews! Thanks for the draw!

  • Classic Myrrh sounds right up my alley. I love how there is a very long family history dealing in perfumes and oils now Mr. Henfling is continuing that with this line.

  • I think the Classic Myrrh would be my choice for a full bottle. The part of the review that made me say this is running thru a dark forrest in skins and furs

  • I would definitely choose Classic Myrrh. What sold it to me was this: “there are peaks and valleys, from the sudden crispness of violet leaf to the deep patchouli”…

  • The fact that Henfling is a descendant of a family trading in fragrances for centuries must be a guarantee for quality perfumes. All four fragrances sound fantastic but if I have to choose one, it would be Classic Myrrh to keep me company on long winter nights.

  • The mere mention of marmalade, piqued my interest in Classic Orange. I would definitely choose Classic Orange, if i was lucky enough to win.

  • Anna in Edinburgh says:

    “Classic Myrrh” is the scent that caught my attention: smoky, magical “peaks and valleys” of enveloping fragrance.

    The accompanying painting, “Fantasy Forest” by Wei Wei Hua, appears to depict the kind of Natural Cathedral that I love to encounter when travelling through tall trees and enclosing hedgerows. When the light breaks through the boughs and leaves, it is like stepping into a Gothic cathedral full of stained-glass windows, being atmospheric, illuminating and uplifting. Breathtaking.

  • What a generous draw! Classic Myrrh is the one for me, and this is why: “I had interesting impressions while wearing this, of tromping through a dark deep forest full of spiritual magic wrapped in smoky skins and furs.” This is why I am so in love with perfume. It is moments like these, when one is transported to a magical forest, that take my breath away. I want to experience this, too! I’m enchanted by this description. Thank you.

  • I would love the mimosa. I used to wear mimosa et moi from l’artisan and would love to see how they compare! Thank you for this wonderful draw!!

  • I want Classic Myrrh. Very curious about your description that it’s like “tromping through a dark deep forest full of spiritual magic wrapped in smoky skins and furs.” After reading that I really want to experience this dark magician’s sin.
    Thank you
    USA

  • What caught my eye was the wonderful artwork you chose for each scent. It’s hard to choose just one, and while I love the artwork for the Classic Patchouli with the dogs plotting(?) in their warren, I’ll have to choose the Classic Orange.

  • I liked the description of “dry grass and heat”, so for that, I would pick Classic Mimosa. USA

  • I would like to try Classic Patchouli – I do not have any typical Patchouli scent. also as another commenter has said, I like the scent description as a very earthy notes and moist. And I was attracted to the picture attached to Patchouli description – that dark picture of houses – which reminds me a lot scenes from movie Perfume: The Story of the Murderer – seems to be very similar to place where Baldini has his house on the bridge with shop and labs which collapses after Jean-Baptiste Grenouille leaving.

  • I’m choosing Classic Myrrh because of that alluring description and fabulous image of a forest. Will I never escape the influence of Enid Blyton? lol!

    I live in South Africa

  • I enjoyed reading about how Mr Henfling made a somewhat later in life career change and decided to become involved with something his family had been doing for many generations. I also really like the Fantasy Forest painting – beautiful! Classic Mimosa would be my choice, with its grassy and linden soap notes.

  • I choose the Classic Myrrh because the description of a warm cloud of rich smokiness is so inviting.

  • Classic Myrrh is my choice for bottle. I would like to be wrapped in smoky skins and furs.
    USA 🙂

  • This is an amazing draw! I’m drawn to the Classic Orange because I like orange, orange blossom, and tea, and interested in how this is done “less cologne-style.” But Classic Mimosa also sounds interesting, although I wonder if it’s too green for me. I’d love to try the entire line. Thanks for introducing it, and for the draw! I’m in the US.

  • This is indeed an exciting draw, thank you!
    What caught my eye was, as usual per Cafleurebon, the images. Especially the Blue Oranges and Fantasy Forest paintings. What also caught my attention was that the Von Eusersdorff family has been involved in perfuming and apothecary for so many centuries.

    I’m in the US. I’d pick Classic Myrrh!

  • Myrrh scents are perfect for cold weather, one of my favourite notes!
    Never tried any perfume of this brand, it does sound very interesting! Thank you for the draw!
    (EU entry)

  • Classic Myrrh would be my choice! Your description sold it to me. I love love to try it!

    I’m international.

  • Lovely article and description of all the Von Eusersdorff’s perfumes.
    I love names of perfumes, they are simple but they also emphasize main raw materials. “Classic” gives them elegance and suggests us they are unephemeral.
    Although I have not tried Classic Orange yet, I’m sure that it is gorgeous as others. As I love patchouli a lot, Classic Patchouli might be my choice for a full bottle. I can’t point out any part of the review. I’m just very happy to see Camille Henfling at Cafleurebon.

  • My choice would be Classic Orange. I love the smell of oranges and this one seems to be right up my alley. Thanks for the draw! International.
