The perfumes of the 1970s and the 1920s had a lot in common. Aldeyhydic florals were chic as hell and bitter chypres were all the rage, but the voluptuous orientals were the shit. Cinnabar and its exact contemporaries Yves Saint Laurent Opium and Lancome Magie Noire reinvented animalsim via spice and opened the door to a new style of oriental perfume that Chanel put on the map with Coco, Bois Noir and Egoiste.

The scent is very complex and rich, which is both a pleasing and disappointing quality in my opinion. In a way there is too much going on in this fragrance's composition with particular notes clashing with one another. For this reason, I tend to prefer Youth-Dew over Cinnabar as my spicy oriental choice. Cinnabar is a fragrance that fulfills every woman's yearning for the exotic and mysterious," said Mrs. Lauder."Its rich amber notes provide a lingering warmth and sensuousness."A heady and strong opening of spices, peach,bergmot and Orange blossom into a floral heart of rose,lily,jasmine, ylang-ylang and cinnamon,can reveal some of its alluring potential.finally an sensual base notes of incense,vanilla, amber,patchouli and sandalwood bring sex appeal to this perfume.

Estee Lauder Cinnabar Eau De Parfum Spray 50ml - Boots

The haughty Lauder ladies club countenance is swiftly discarded to display a distinctly wanton side. Cinnabar may well be the couture wearing executive from the top floor, but she is not averse to being pressed against a filing cabinet and manhandled by some clammy-handed salesman. I have a great appreciation for these sillage monsters. They may have been made long before I was born, however I find them incredibly hypnotising. The identity of the perfumer of Cinnabar is not 100% certain, but rumor has it that it was Bernard Chant. For the life of me I can't imagine that the perfumer of Cabochard and Aromatics Elixir didn't know how to square the bergamot/amber circle. If he is in fact Cinnabar's author, I have to imagine that the fault lies in reformulation. Chant was just too good to be credited with the murky version of the perfume available today. Cinnabar is a very unusual and beautiful fragrance. It is based around cinnamon and deep spices like benzoin, tolu balsam, amber & other resins. These are combined with slight floral notes of rose, lilly and carnation. This gives it a very deep, warm, spicy, slightly powdery smell. It reminds me of red dust. Shimmering red dust with powder and spice. A peachy-peary fruity start is given a spiciness as if boiled in a spice soup for several hours. A cautious but definite addition of aldehydic undertones add some sparks such as to prevent is from being all too dark.

Another great fragrnce by Estée Lauder. CINNABAR is a mysterious realm of temptation and intrigue. everything about it says of seductive.It is similiar OPIUM but less strong and hypnotic than it.a real head turner for a femme fatale. complex,heady,spicy, bewitching,rich, timeless,sensual, and classic. Spicy, resinous amber perfumes are a feel-good genre in perfumery. The individual components (vanilla, benzoin, labdanum…) are like prefab bases and can single-handedly provide the blueprint for an Oriental perfume. The risk is the kitchen-sink syndrome. It is said that Estée Lauder launched this one to coincide with Yves Saint - Laurent Opium released within months of each other. Other sources say that YSL copied her in releasing Opium. However I find differences between them. This one has a higher concentration of cinnamon, whereas Opium has a whole blend of spices. Oud / Attar 80+ Options - premium Perfume Oil/ Attar / Musk / Oud / Fragrance/ Aftershave/ Cologne *High Quality & Long Lasting* The similarity to Coco is actually remarkable – Cinnabar is deeper (darker) and the drydown is heavier with notes of patchouli (never one of my no.1 favourites) and quite a lot of vanilla, whereas Coco manages to be spicy with relatively little actual spice and more in the way of floral notes and is, to me, more attractive.

Our virtual similar perfume finder makes it easy to narrow the selection of fragrances to try across a range of best matches. Before rushing along and buying any of the suggested matching scents there are a few thing to consider. Skin chemistry highly affects the way perfumes smell but then there is also the way our brains perceives certain smells. As the scent settled, I began to find the resemblance to Opium. I expected this fragrance to have a stronger cinnamon note, however I do believe Cinnabar was named after a mercury ore, so perhaps it is not supposed to be primarily cinnamon. I quite liked Cinnabar when I was in my teens and early 20s in the late 1980s; though it always seemed to be a poor imitation of Opium, so I never actually had a bottle. In the early 90s, I had a horrible boss who always wore Cinnabar, which put me off from trying a tester of it again until today: and I'm wishing I hadn't:

Cinnabar at first spray is incredibly strong, like a fierce punch to the face. I thought my nose was going to fall off as I felt my eyes water with its strength.

I have a bottle now (as pictured above, older formulation), I am wearing it—and I am loving it. Perhaps some of it comes from memory association, having recalled smelling it during what seemed to be simpler times; after all, I had a simpler brain and the last time this was worn in abundance I had yet to enter adolescence). However, as I now wear it, I don't immediately have the association with a matronly type or a 70s femme fatale, even. In 2021, the anxieties of gendering don't seem quite entrenched, and I do not feel emasculated in the least by wearing Cinnabar (as if that should be a concern anyhow). After all, there is Aramis JHL, the less floral counterpart that was geared to men (also marvelous but steering more into pines and woods direction) and there are other spiced orientals such as Jaipur Homme (the EDP is especially similar to Cinnabar). However, Cinnabar has its own exoticism and intrigue that sets it apart. VERY RARE Estée Lauder Treasure of the Orient solid perfume compact circa 1979 in original box with Cinnabar
