The i-Sillage - mathematically complex
A young lady proudly handed my wife a sample in the perfume shop: “Finally, it’s here. We’ve all been waiting for this.” I can totally relate to that statement. Because I press the spray head and - wait for the scent.
How subtle can a sillage be? Is a negative value conceivable?
Anyone who says no should think carefully. Allegedly, the square of a number can never be negative. Nevertheless, mathematicians simply do so with their imaginary number i in the form of i^2 = -1; from this, complex numbers emerged. Nonsense? Not at all. These numbers play a central role in fundamental physics, for example. In quantum mechanics, the state of a physical system is conceived as an element of a projective Hilbert space over the complex numbers. Aha. I copied that from Wikipedia. However, it continues to say that electrical engineers use these numbers as well, and that sounds much more tangible. I personally cannot forget the last lecture dates in mathematics for business “scientists” towards the end of the semester 1990/91, when the lecturer had already covered the mandatory material and quickly introduced us to complex numbers “for fun.” Just a side note.
So, why shouldn’t a perfume smell negative? After all, the proof is already established; L’Eau does exactly that. I have to practically sniff the mandarin out of my skin. Mild grapefruit or rather pomelo I would have guessed at most, but on such a pointillistic-molecular level, orange and bergamot are simply undeniable. No, fundamentally, the announcement of bergamot is a joke. There is nothing identifiable that typically characterizes bergamot in scent. The fruit also seems a bit synthetic. This may be due to the musk base that I imagine beneath it, which at least raises the longevity into an acceptably decent range.
Fairly, it should be added that in subsequent tests, with a correspondingly sharpened sense, the scent becomes more recognizable and is certainly not unpleasant. Nevertheless, it is closer to nothing than anything else I have tried under the umbrella term perfume.
However, this Eau is obviously not meant to stand out; rather, it should envelop like a scented cream. Thus, that may be fine by me, and the price of just under 40 euros for 100 ml seems somewhat appropriate.
Conclusion: If one does not expect a perfume but rather desires the harmless scent of a body cream to spray on and feel refreshed, one is in the right place here. Otherwise, not.
