Advert for Endearing by Bourjois from 1950

Created by renowned perfumer Henri Robert in 1950, you are looking at a perfume by the author of Chanel No.19, Cristalle eau de toilette and Pour Monsieur. Best of all, it is a leather chypre, a category which you cannot call crowded nowadays. 

"Originally promoted as the Eau de Cologne that “Makes You Want To Fall In Love,” Endearing, with its wistful romantic scent underscored by notes of leather, is sure to capture your heart once again."

Notes include aldehydes, jasmine, tree moss (Evernia Furfuracea), vetiver. The composition was discontinued in 1990. 

This is the eau de cologne version released in 1951, in the original bottle shape. 

Price: $29
