I’ve got to find my sample of this and wear it again! It’s been way too long since I’ve tried it. I remember loving it, though.

Ha! Late to the piece, but just saw your post and had to respond.

I recently bought a FB of this and adore it. On me it softens quickly after the initial slap of verdancy, but has enough backbone to last in air conditioning and has the requisite austerity for an office fragrance.

And yes – I love gin

I’ve certainly heard of the Futura font, but didn’t know it was on Kotex boxes! I’ll never look at feminine hygiene the same.

I’d like to try this one too. Futur is an interesting name. As I’ve studied Graphic Design, “Futura” is the name of a well-known font. For instance, for feminine hygiene products, the Kotex brand utilizes the Futura font, along with images of flowers in its packaging and marketing materials.

I love that fireworks analogy!

That’s perfect! A genius title.

Hey, I’d love some company in the poorhouse!

I guess A Scent and Futur are both green, but they feel very different to me. A Scent would be a pale girl who reads Bonjour Tristesse and listens to emo music. Futur would be a woman with a biting wit who reads Duras and drinks gin.

I love the bottles, too. Once I ordered some Bandit parfum, and the bottle arrived with the stopper broken off. It was so sad! It was their last bottle, too.

It does pack a wallop of cedar, true, but I find myself reaching for it often.

A perfume from the 60′s called “Futur” reminds me of the song title “Wasn’t Tomorrow Wonderful?”
