"A man's fantasy coagulated into sensual perfume" ;-)....

I don't usually write comments on fragrances that I rate a 7.........7 is, in fact, the worst rating of all for me!!!

7 means: the fragrance is neither great nor lousy, but just somehow nothing at all....triggers zero comma zero feelings.......not even bad ......it's just invisible and meaningless....if not superfluous ;-)....

Why now do I still feel compelled to comment...

Simple!!!

Because YOU - dear men - have decided that we women should smell exactly SO to excite your pleasure (and possibly other) *grin* ;-)).....

This scent is the ultimate answer to the ever recurring forum question, "What scent do men find sexy"...!!!

It's....TATAA: WHITTORIA

At least, that's the view of the House of 1907....
which I have so far held in high esteem
I quote from the house's own fragrance description:

It all began with a survey of men: what should a woman smell like? The answers were: Clean, pure... hard to miss... delicately seductive... ...feminine... special. Based on these answers, the perfume house created an ideal women's fragrance in 1907. You could also say: a male fantasy coagulated into sensual perfume.

The fragrance

"Clean, pure": hence the white flowers and citrus freshness in the opening. In addition, the word white was also subtly hidden in the name of the perfume.

"Hard to miss, delicately seductive": that's the reason for the apple at the heart of Whittoria.
"Feminine": hence the white musk and vanilla.

"Special": for the special note provides in this perfume an extraordinary star guest: the myrrh!

Quote end

But is WHITTORIA really a "male fantasy coagulated into a sensual perfume"...?

Should that be so, so I remain probably all my life unhonored :-p......Mein usually sprayed on "Fräulein Rottenmeier" - charm seems to leave the men's world unfortunately quite cold......ein shame *grins*......with oak moss and galbanum you can just not win a flower pot.....geschweigen even a man's heart *sigh*......

But what is my personal perception of WHITTORIA? There are first of all citrus fruits.....and soon a huge orange blossom in the middle of which sits a spherical sweet apple.......at the same time a lush shower of jasmine trickles down on this "idyllic" still life.......

I'm sure you can already tell which direction this whole affair is heading ;-)......

For quite a while it remains just fruity-floral-sweet......something later the woods try to get a little attention.......this succeeds, however, only quite limited........with energetic support of a lovely musk note it remains relentlessly sweet.......the myrrh brings in the end actually a little saucy twist in the whole affair......but not TOO saucy..!!! After all, WHITTORIA does not want to scare, but all lovely and above all harmlessly beguile .....

And who knows.....it might even succeed ;-)....

I for my part will then now retire to the monastery and pay homage there for the rest of my days to the rugged, "unsexy" Chypres..... farewell men, farewell *wink*......
