Synthetics in disguise
I would describe CdG as a specialist for somewhat more unusual, conceptual fragrances. Usually a certain theme or a specific scent is the basis for the whole thing. A whole series was dedicated to the topic "Synthetics". Apart from some fragrances from the series, which are certainly on the borderline of wearability, there are also representatives that can not only be considered unrestrictedly suitable for the masses, but even have the potential of a compliment collector. I would definitely count DC among them.

The fragrance starts with a light, slightly synthetic note, which is given a warm character by floral elements. I think the synthetic impression comes mainly from the not sparingly used aldehydes and less from any nail polish (remover). In the background, there is always a subliminal plastic note, as we often find in the Tauer fragrances. Everything here seems to be very harmoniously interwoven. Nothing stands out penetratingly and could thus appear obtrusive.
A comparison with the in-house Odeur 53 is obvious. However, O53 appears cooler and almost metallic, while DC appears warm and almost playful. You have the feeling that DC wants to please its wearer and is constantly courting his favor. If one were to assign an art movement to the two fragrances, O53 would represent the Russian avant-garde with its strict forms and clean lines, whereas DC could be a representative of Impressionism.
Mémoire d'une Odeur is another example of this fragrance. Here, however, even more clearly shifted to the floral, floral.

Who still has the luck to get this unfortunately discontinued fragrance under the nose, will certainly have his joy with it, provided that he likes unobtrusive, light, floral fragrances and is not deterred by a subtle synthetics.
