The Three Perils of Perfume
A bad perfume can be caused by three different faults.
The first - and most common these days - is bad materials, perfumes that are made of plastic iris, plastic fruits, plastic vanilla and plastic patchouli.
The second fault is bad blending, where a perfume is lumpy - like a bad packet soup.
The third is bad taste, and that’s the problem here.
Michelle is good at first sniff, it made me go ‘oh, that’s good’. But it’s just too sweet; madly, badly sweet. A blancmange of white flowers, aldehydes, creamy vanilla and not much else, it’s bad because it’s Too good; ‘c’est trop bon’ as the kids say round here.
To be fair, this is a sample of pure parfum, not the best concentration for this sort of thing, but then, would any concentration be good - apart from homeopathic?
