Consider this...
The year, 1958. A businessman is dressed in the finest dark blue, wool suit, styled particularly well for its time. This businessman, in his mid- to late- 50's and at the top of his game, is flying first class aboard Pan Am and traveling to a city noted for its contribution to America's industrial might at that time, be it Detroit, Pittsburgh, Dallas, New York, Chicago... for a conference where he will be an important contributor, as his Forbes 50 company is significant to America's industrial height. His full head of dark silver-gray hair is styled conservatively but has a certain suavity to it, a head ahead of its time. You've never seen this man before, but his iconic bearing in class, style and wealth makes his aspect almost familiar in a deep, archetypal way. He takes his beautiful black leather attaché case and begins placing it in overhead storage. As he does this, his motion and the blue suit moving start to impart an intoxicatingly elegant and high-class scent that so well circumscribes this man and his time. He sits down beside you, and as he motions to the stewardess to get a strong drink appropriate for the time, you get the full emanation of this scent perfectly applied.
In your experience, what cologne is this man wearing?
