CLEOPATRA'S BOUDOIR

Teak was launched in 1965 by Shulton.

This heady men's cologne is chypre based and I havent found any official notes listed anywhere so I will use my vintage 1960s bottle for this review and tell you what notes I detect.  At first dab I detect some aldehydes, crisp fresh greens and tons upon tons of oakmoss and vetiver, with a shot of spices, patchouli, musk, leather, galbanum, salt, sandalwood, and cedarwood.

The bottle is molded to resemble a tree trunk with bark, its screw cap is made up of real teak wood.

A 1965 newspaper ad reads: "Shulton presents the MANly [sic]  fragrance! TEAK! Crisp, brisk, straightforward and distinctive. Teak is as clean and fresh as the snowy hills of Scandinavia! And its now available in America!"

A 1966 ad reads" Adventure's in the air with Teak...the invigorating scent for men by Shulton. As bracing as a sea faring adventure off the shores of Scandinavia. Mixing a hint of leather with a bit of spice, tangy top of the world feeling.

 Teak was only available in Cologne, Soap and After Shave.

This must have really packed a punch when it was released but it didnt last long, Teak was discontinued around 1968-1969. It is now extremely rare to find.
