...and not a bit quiet
My mother has always been a perfume lover. And she always liked it flashy and loud. While she loved classic chypre fragrances as a young woman, she jumped on the gourmet bandwagon in the nineties with the launch of Mugler's Angel. She was particularly taken with these fragrances for their opulence, sweetness and their ability to fill rooms. Even though she is actually not a particularly loud person, she loves to communicate with her appearance. Because her style of dress including her glasses was always offensive, loud, flashy and colourful
My mother is now seventy years old and her current favourite fragrance is Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier. She also likes fragrances like Teint de Neige by Villoresi or Micallef's Mon Parfum. Her perfumes must be sweet and room-filling. When I visit her, the first thing she always comes across in the apartment is her very special scent cloud. And that's exactly what I perceive at Dear Diary
This is an opulent gourmand who doesn't dally. It starts immediately with an intense honey note and sweet flowers. The bees can come! Despite the almost teeth pulling sweetness, Dear Diary is and remains perfume through and through and will by no means become too food safe. A fragrance that wants to provoke. If it had a color, it would be bright red. With the sweet chocolate and its fine patchouly note, it is always perfectly balanced. I see clear parallels to Scandal, especially when it comes to the honey note. Even if this scent is of course a bit more nobly composed and - oh wonder - lasts even longer than the Gaultier. And I can also see traits of Angel and Mon Parfum in Dear Diary. Yes, that's how Mama smells. Like this and no other. One thing is clear. This is the sample she gets. And I bet she'll buy this scent too
Now it is so that the reference fragrances that I mentioned, especially Scandal, if you believe the marketing and all the other gibberish that you hear here and there, should be reserved for very young women, even girls. And a 70-year-old should wear something like that? Yes, she does. With pride. And that scent is absolutely wonderful on her
Because to this day she is not a bit quiet when it comes to fragrance and style. Stay just the way you are, mom!
Many thanks to Gandix for the sample, which I will pass on soon :)
