Powerhouse

I don't know if Frau Goethe, Johann Wolfgang's mother, was like this, but her perfume certainly is: a true powerhouse.

The opening is quite rosy and hope begins to bloom within me. ROSES, yes, oh yes. But just a few minutes later, heavy, sweet, oriental notes join in. I guess it’s patchouli, musk, vanilla, possibly honey as well.

Some slightly woody notes emerge in the base and take away a good part of the sweetness. Maybe sandalwood, but more likely cedar or something similar, and possibly amber.

The scent has a sillage that is impossible to overlook. That's right, impossible to OVERLOOK. Because when the woman wearing this fragrance enters the Alte Oper in Frankfurt, all eyes are drawn to her like a magnet. A presence like Sophia Loren in her best films. I believe she could wear this Catharina scent well.

For the rose-loving Flori, it’s too much. It completely knocks me off my feet and I am constantly on the verge of fainting. No, it’s not a corseted waist that could be to blame, but Les Roses de Francfort Catharina! Its longevity is extremely good - at least for me.

Hiiihelp: Lovers of this intense fragrance direction, please step forward and take over Catharina. I have the urge to keep living for a while longer..................

At that time, voluptuous women were the common beauty ideal (just look at Rubens)! Since people didn't really wash much, the fragrances were also rich!
Here's a lavish trophy for you!

I don't know if Aja used perfumes. She liked to gift Christiane fabrics and was quite a down-to-earth woman, very practical in life. A light breeze wouldn't have suited her. Read the correspondence! Very interesting.
