the Nonchalant
Relaxed, she sits in the armchair, wearing a chunky white sweater with a cable knit pattern; the inevitable cigarette in hand: Cathérine Deneuve, who embodies the address "Madame" in all its facets.
A relaxed, self-assured woman, who gives an interview during her visit to the "Berlinale 2020," filling an entire page of my Sunday newspaper and is very worth reading.
To the great delight of Dieter Kosslick, she has come this year; after all, it is his last "Berlinale" in an official capacity.
I will miss him with his bustling warmth towards people and his spontaneous, loving hugs; speaking quickly and a lot. In this, he resembles Karl Lagerfeld.
Both often leave me breathless; and yet, what they say is entertaining and interesting!
Thus, in this fragrance homage, a small place is also occupied by Dieter Kosslick:
Thank you for the years filled with joy at an event that was almost dozing off.
Cathérine Deneuve: Muse and confidante of Yves Saint Laurent, actress and so on
All of this can be read elsewhere; I don't need to repeat it.
But why did it surprise me that there is also a fragrance named after this fascinating woman?
During my visit to Susan's perfume collection, I was so "highly interested" that she sent me a miniature of the Eau de Toilette.
(Maybe I resemble my great-grandmother more than I thought, who admired "the beautiful fruit" at every garden gate until she got some. How embarrassing!)
The bottle of this miniature resembles that of the perfume: straight lines immediately reveal style!
Its contents are a child of its time: shimmering, pulsating, feminine - remarkable!
This is primarily due to the aldehydes: as is their nature, they sparkle, shimmer, and shine; thus opening the door to an astonishingly fruity-herbaceous entrée.
Galbanum and basil show their extraordinary class here; neroli surprises with its familiar tenderness.
For the now following floral garden, this is a fitting introduction. Because an intoxicatingly opulent abundance of flowers caresses every woman:
Hyacinth, violet, and lily of the valley embody fragrant spring; jasmine, the royal rose, and the proud iris herald summer, while ylang-ylang entwines them all with its lovely yellow-flowered vine arms.
There is plenty of room for flowery "Fairy Tales."
Of course, a fragrance of this classy woman also deserves a classic finish:
From oak moss to cedarwood, all fragrance notes leave their precisely fitting footprint.
Even the small, always slightly musky creature slithers closely past everything gathered here; leaving behind an interesting scent trail that says: "I was here too!"
Longevity and sillage correspond, even with the Eau de Toilette, to those of the fragrance era from which it was born: it would be a shame if all that beauty were only light and fleeting!
But this concern need not exist here: "Deneuve" accompanies for hours; proud and a little aloof, in stylish elegance.
It is a fragrance that does not immediately jump joyfully at your neck: a little distance is sometimes very pleasant!
Susan initially had concerns that there might be too little in the small bottle; not enough for a judgment and a comment.
But no worries, dear Susan: Even after the bottle made closer acquaintance with my carpet and, of course, the cap fell off, there is still enough of the fragrant beauty left to allow me many more hours with this charming, charismatic lady!
For that, I thank you!
