Bourjois 1936 EDP
Kobako
by Ernest Beaux
Bourjois Kobako is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1936, created by Ernest Beaux. Kobako opens with Citrus, Cinnamon, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Civet, and Ambergris. Bourjois's Kobako carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.
This cult classic is a divisive beast: some hail it as a stunning, sensual masterpiece with vintage allure, while others recoil from its intense, 'old-school' animalic and aldehydic punch. Not for the faint of heart, but utterly captivating for those who dare.
