Derby vintage (Jean Paul Guerlain, 1985) and new version (2012)
My tests for the "SettimanaINCOM... commerciale" on the Adjiumi forum continue: these days I tried Guerlain's Derby . I have a soft spot for chypre fragrances, leather chypres in particular : Aramis, L'Interdit (Givenchy), Jolie Madame (Balmain), Chanel's Cuir de Russie, Bandit (Piguet) are among the best of this family. As for Derby, it was created in 1985 by Jean Paul Guerlain and removed from production a few years later because it wasn't as successful as expected ; in 2012 it was re-launched as part of the exclusive collection available only in Paris. Thanks to Cristian I could wear both the original version and the modern, and I could compare them properly.
