a golden beauty
Suddenly they were there: the perfume miniatures!
They were then an enrichment of our so already so colorful and diverse fragrance world.
Not just these little tubes, which you got or didn't get in random selection: no, real little flacons, filled with the original fragrance!
They stood enticingly in the perfumeries: you could buy them and collect them.
How many setting boxes were purchased in those days, just to create a suitable place for these little vials.
My acrylic set box has not survived; but the minis, they are still there, some even filled! However, these are mostly those fragrances that were actually acquired for the sake of looks: their flacons were so beautiful!
And of course, you could test their contents: they were enough to decide, "Do I live with you or not!"
That's how I got Cartier's "So Pretty."
The slim, elegant Flacon had it done to me; especially apart in the very small version.
Because actually my heart belonged to Cartier's panther at that time: "Panthère de Cartier" in the crystal ball flanked by two panthers or in the travel version
So I was excited to see what this gold-colored liquid had in store for me:
It was "So Pretty!"
The great time of the aldehydes was on the wane; so it happened that every now and then a prelude got a little colorless.
Not with this fragrance creature!
The basket is filled after the walk through the orchard on the finest and accordingly is also the fragrance opening:
Fresh bergamot and mandarin meet dark juicy blackberry here, before deliciously ripe, sweet peaches and aromatic neroli cleverly form a transition to the floral heart note.
There await the white fragrance-intensive classics lily of the valley and jasmine - both bursting with joy! - and also the noble rose is not long to ask and contributes its sensual mature fragrance.
The fruity-aromatic radiance of the previous fragrance composition is pleasantly powdered by iris.
Also at Cartier one appreciates a good Chypre fragrance:
So oak moss, paired with sandalwood irritates the senses, brushes them with resinous benzoin and balsamic-woody cedar accents.
And only to dim them again with well-dosed earthy-dark vetiver offerings and finish with a warm, rich musky blanket.
"So Pretty" is now perfectly styled and ready to greet the world!
A graceful women's fragrance has been created here; bright and luminous without being loud or overbearing.
A finely polished scented gem, suitable for all occasions and adorning its wearer. "So Pretty" is already the right name; because beautiful it is this golden and extremely charming being.
I liked it very much and I also remember that "So Pretty" made a colleague very unhappy. She was travelling with her husband for the first time after the house had been bought and a lot had been done without, and she brought herself a bottle of "So Pretty" from the duty free shop.
How proud she was and how well the two fitted together!
Now this gem had to be shown and admired; so it stood office on the desk and home around bathroom in full light!
Our quiet admonitions she would not hear.
First the golden contents darkened and then what had to happen happened: the fragrance toppled!
She was so disappointed and finally very angry with herself when she realized that she had destroyed her treasure herself.
So "So Pretty" will also always be associated in my memory with the tears that this nice woman cried at the time.
