Sad low point or: A fragrance almost like a gift trumps to us women...
The flacon with its oversized plastic plexiglass cap is a bit of a show-stopper - at least it's extraordinary. I leave environmental aspects out of the equation when it comes to aesthetic assessment.
Unfortunately, it goes without saying that this type of bottle is very difficult to dispose of (and not everyone collects bottles!). And who please believes in climate change?
Because of the eye-catching presentation I tested the fragrance a few days ago (also at Karstadt, like my previous speaker - but came to a completely different conclusion - well... )
At first I noticed the synthetic head note, which was almost grotesquely covered, a freshness evoking chord, which one usually knows from the detergent industry (the name "Women" - universally resposible for the cleaning business" - the eternal cleaning woman - fits ironically upside down to this).
Not particularly enthusiastic, I then added "Women" to a fragrance card in order to be able to describe the base note later; moreover, I didn't want to judge hastily.
On the back of my hand, at least, a mixture of sticky vanilla, artificial orange and a dull, tormenting woody note developed that was hardly bearable for me.
A real "scrubber" just like that. But in its primitiveness and crude form quite new.
Please don't get me wrong: Synthetics is absolutely okay! Of course, hardly any perfume works without "aroma chemicals". The art, however, is to incorporate them in such a way that they create the illusion of naturalness or at least a certain harmony. Under no circumstances, however, should the aroma substances used cause headaches, the irrepressible urge to scrub off the scent or trigger other aversions or bad associations (I am thinking, for example, of Trump, his voters and the end of the world).
After exactly three days (wrapped in a foil so as not to have to inhale the scent) the scent card (and I don't want to grab it ever again!!!) lying "naked" in front of me on my desk spreads such a pentrant chemical, devastating bad scent that I will now sink it into the residual waste bin before I become even more depressed.
So the innovation 2018 from Calvin Klein seems to be the following:
The scents have deteriorated even further. "For me, "Women" is the low point of their previous launches.
And this perfume of all things they call so - "Women" - so, so sad!
Impeachment? I'd appreciate it.
This is nothing to make Calvin Klein great again
