Is there no man with clove here?
May 24, 1899. The opera Cendrillon by Massenet premieres at the Opéra-Comique in Paris. Cendrillon is a fairy tale opera, the fairy tale being Cinderella. However, adults still go to the opera. There are also ballet scenes, and overall it might be a romantic theme if one is romantically inclined. (The author of this comment is as romantic as a wooden mallet.)
(According to the official website:) During the intermission, seven young men (since fairy tales are involved, it has to be seven) meet in the foyer to intercept brides. Back then, there were no clubs, discos, or anything similar, and Tinder, Adopte un mec, or such things did not exist yet. Naturally, various young women are immediately attracted by the fresh-green scent of gardenias in the young men's lapels. The Axe of the late 19th century. As the ladies approach, the boutonnière flowers exude their elegantly masculine scent.
What the marketing department has concocted this time. I have to think of my current student who says, "I don't know 4711, I was born in 1993." (Tough luck for him. 4711 is a great memory aid for the average size of an adult kidney.) I would have said to this group of gardenia men: "Is there no man with clove here?"
Boutonnière starts very nicely with a citrus-lavender accord. It's so great that I had some bottled. However, on the way out, the scent changed dramatically. The initial lavender is slightly minty, and if it had continued like that, I would have wanted to buy the stuff immediately. The gardenia dominates the heart note. It's a bit like a gender switch; the gentlemen with the boutonnière become ladies. That can be done, but it's not particularly elegant-masculine. It's a lovely gardenia, not too indolic. I'm sensitive to that. But it's also a boring gardenia. The gardenia remains predominant for a long time, and after 1-2 hours, I noticed that my wrist suddenly smelled like a generic vetiver shower gel for men. Have we reoriented ourselves? The vetiver shower gel scent suits me better than the gardenia, but it was also boring and has been smelled too often. After 7 hours, the boutonnière had wilted.
I find it dangerous to say who can wear this boutonnière. It is certainly very suitable for cross-dressing. The boutonnière survives an opera performance and would not disturb the people sitting next to you. Otherwise, the sillage for going out is rather weak. I couldn't wear boutonnière at my workplace. During the gardenia phase, the patients would complain, and during the vetiver shower gel phase, my female colleagues would. However, there are certainly workplaces where no one gets too close, and you can wear anything there. On an oil drilling platform, for example.
Addendum: Almost forgot that castoreum is supposed to be in it. That shouldn't be mentioned either. The manufacturer is American. I certainly can't smell the castoreum. That would bother me too.
