Prélude (Parfum)

"Prélude is a classic floral-oriental fragrance for women launched in 1982. Its character opens with a bright aldehydic citrus effect accented by pimento. The heart combines rich florals with carnation and cinnamon, giving the composition a warm, spicy texture. A deep base of balsams, amber, vanilla, civet, patchouli, and frankincense creates a dense and elegant drydown. The fragrance has a distinctly vintage character, favoring richness and projection over modern transparency. It is regarded as a representative example of the opulent floral-oriental style associated with the early 1980s."
