Sad Low Point or: A Fragrance, Almost Like a Gift from Trump to Us Women...
The bottle makes quite an impression with its oversized plastic Plexiglas cap - at least it is unusual. I will leave the environmental aspects aside when it comes to aesthetic evaluation.
That this type of bottle is very difficult to dispose of is unfortunately obvious (and not everyone collects bottles!). And who really believes in "climate change?"
Due to the striking presentation, I tested the fragrance a few days ago (also at Karstadt, just like my predecessor - but came to a completely different conclusion - well...)
At first, I noticed the almost grotesquely exaggerated synthetic top note, a freshness-evoking accord that you usually find in the cleaning product industry (ironically fittingly upside down is the name "Women" - universally responsible for the cleaning business" - the eternal cleaning lady, after all).
Not particularly enthusiastic, I then labeled a scent card with "Women" to describe the base note later; besides, I didn't want to judge too hastily.
On my wrist, at least, a barely bearable mix of cardboard-like vanilla, artificial orange, and a dull, tormenting wood note developed.
A real "scrubber," indeed. But in its primitiveness and crude form, it is quite new.
Please don't get me wrong: Synthetics are absolutely okay! Of course, hardly any perfume works without "aroma chemicals." The art lies in incorporating them in such a way that they create the illusion of naturalness or at least a certain harmony. Under no circumstances should the used aroma substances trigger headaches, the uncontrollable urge to scrub off the scent, or other aversions or nasty associations (I think, for example, of Trump, his female voters, and the apocalypse).
After exactly three days (wrapped in plastic to avoid inhaling the scent), the scent card that is now "naked" lying in front of me on the desk (and I don't want to grab it ever again!!!) emits such a penetrating chemical, devastatingly bad smell that I will now sink it in the trash bin before I become even more depressed.
So it seems that the innovation of 2018 from Calvin Klein is as follows:
The fragrances have deteriorated even further. "Women" is, for me, the low point of their previous launches.
And they call this perfume "Women" - so, so sad!
Impeachment? I would welcome it.
This is nothing to make Calvin Klein great again.
