Amazing Bill Blass 1999 Eau de Parfum

At first glance, they are not twins or sisters, but rather like contemporaneous friends from the same character group. Cousins perhaps, or just very similar without being related. In character, powderiness, sillage, and longevity, these two are very much alike.
Where Amazing displays a fresh-sour-apple-floral-lily-of-the-valley note, Gloria Vanderbilt presents a raspberry-sweet-fruity scent.
From the heart note onward, both harmoniously sing the same song in a duet. Each with its own timbre sings softly and tenderly with the same intensity of dry powder warmth. This song continues, as it should. While Amazing always sounds a touch cooler, Vanderbilt sounds a bit sweeter, as the top note suggested. Clearly, the dry powder warmth dominates for both for a long time. And so similarly that only in direct comparison can one say which is which, during a right-left wrist test in equal amounts at the same time. Yesterday and the day before, I tested each fragrance individually. Had I not known, I could not have confidently said which was which, they appeared so similar to me.
Actually, one shouldn't be surprised. This is due to their almost simultaneous birth times. Perhaps perfumes have something like a "horoscope," considering their creation time, trends, and zeitgeist. This is also reflected in who likes such scents. Namely, mostly people who were between 20 and 30, in a phase of life filled with new beginnings, when the corresponding trend conquered the market.
