anglo-fied Chanel

The bottle is far more exciting than the scent unfortunately. This is not a gourmand on my skin but instead the Penhaligon's nod to 31 Rue Cambon by Chanel.A blast of aldehydes, a ton of powder, spice and musk makes up Tralala on me and the other notes seem to have disappeared under the weight of them. It's as if a carnation-aldehyde wearing Stepford wife just threw out her drunk on whiskey husband for wearing his leather shoes on the cream sofa. Stepford wife 1/Husband 0. Sillage is rather quiet on me, starts and remains as a close to skin scent for the better part of the day. It's a nice addition for the house and the bottle is truly charming, but the scent- nothing not done before i.e Chanel.

Tra la la indeed!

Firstly the presentation is fabulous, that bottle is adorable, even the box it comes in is cute. Tralala is an ideal name as you can imagine the perfumer singing trala la la as they threw together a mixture of aldehydes, leather, vanilla, powder and whiskey and yea it's a strange one but its a good one! I'm so glad i got a bottle of this before it disappears completely unless you wish to pay crazy prices on auction sites.

Tipsy tacky Tralala

Smells like an old building housing a bunch of tipsy school children by the end of their first week after the summer holidays. They are sociable (had quite a lot of whisky to drink) and they make friends easily (using aldehydes and other magical elements from the chemist's lab). On the down side, children with these characteristics are perceived as soft and submissive (too much musk, opoponax, vanilla). They attract attention from dominant class members (leather! incense!). It's important that these dominant types learn about empathy and kindness. Fine, they'll say. But there's a catch. Those guys simply leave their friends after a few drinks, knowing that they have better things to do. Do their homework, for example.
Duchaufour can no longer be relied upon to come up with ideas no other perfumer has thought of. In this context, bottle and packaging of "Tralala" are misleading. I bought the scent because I wanted the vessel for my collection in the first place. Of course, I was also driven by a strong curiosity to try a fragrance harking back to the tradition of "Punch and Judy", but apart from the design, "Tralala" is a very conventional, typical Duchaufour, and nothing that will give you a new experience. The boozy thing, the saffron, the leather, the musk... all these ingredients have been explored by Duchaufour from absolutely every angle now. "Tralala" offers an unpleasant, sweaty note in the middle (ylang-ylang and cumin, perhaps?), and this note adds to the overall disappointment. I should also tell you that I bought my bottle for just a third of the original price. It was heavily reduced, because obviously, it's not exactly what you'd call a top-seller. The original price of approx. 210 Euros for this bottle seems far too high.

A wave of nostalgia, mixed with theater

For me this perfume is special. When my friend introduced me to Penhaligon's, 12 long years ago, I was in love with two fragrances: Amaranthine and Tralala. Amarantine I managed to buy once my budget allowed me to, but Tralala, years later, proved hard to find. I remained hopeful and have now been reunited with the scent, and I am happy to say the scent is just as amazing as I remembered.

The scent reminds me of theater. Heavy make up, lots of powder, behind the thick, dark red curtains. It's warm. You're backstage covered in layers of make up, hairspray, and in a heavy costume, waiting for your time to come on stage. You're not necessarily the star of the show, but more a solid middle, someone who does this for work and has been doing it for a long time, who knows how things work and for whom performing on stage has become routine, but certainly not any less exciting and nerve-inciting. A bubbly, giddy, warm feeling in your stomach, increasing with every minute coming closer to your moment on stage. Every time.

The scent also wakes up a wave of nostalgia in me. It reminds me of when I was a child and my parents brought me along to a birthday party. Whenever I'd get too tired, I'd sleep either on the couch or two chairs moved together to create some sort of makeshift bed, as the grownups talked, laughed, and the smell of their perfumes mixed with cigarettes and make up along with the warmth and safety of the room and darkness of the early night made for the most comfortable sleep of my life.

Tralala is a heavy, calming scent, with its sweet notes setting it apart. The sweet note offers excitement, while the other notes offer that calm, safe, warm feeling.

Duchaufour can simply .....

Since I love aldehydes, I know quite a few of their forms and also many of their various pairings with other notes.....

The pairing with whiskey, however, was new to me....as was the scent note of whiskey itself.....

What I perceive here is exceptionally delightful..!! Unusual and unique.

The top note initially gives me a nearly fresh and well-groomed-clean impression.....I suspect it is galbanum that prevents the scent from taking on an overly liqueur-sweet hue at this point.....

Nevertheless, a mild sweetness soon joins in....not a sticky one, but rather a natural, spicy-floral sweetness that immediately merges with a delicate leather note.....a leather note that, while present in its effect, always remains in the background.......

The incense, much to my utmost delight, remains merely a "regulating" accompaniment.....its quiet presence serves only to perfect this wonderfully complex olfactory experience......

As the scent glides towards the base, it eventually transitions into spicy-resinous realms.....here it is the vetiver that superbly and elegantly keeps the sweetness inherent in the resins and other base notes in check.....

Tralala is, for my nose, an exceptionally well-composed and truly unique fragrance.........a scent that, despite the multitude of spicy-resinous-sweet notes, reveals a - albeit distant - chypre resonance.

Only the name could have been chosen a bit more happily ;-).....

Tralala is just as in song one ding ding song. Guerlain did it many times and Guerlain did it better. Wasn't a fan of this composition.

Rose-cherry and musk-animalic. White-flowering and chypre-like. Whisky-vanilla and resin-spicy. Powder-erotic through a fougère-like intertwining.

Saffron, musk, leather, a lot of cumin, a lot of whiskey, a whole lot of Duchaufour. His style in pure form. You have to like it... (not really my thing).
