Zero Plus Feminine Diesel 1999

Hello, I’m new here, and therefore I don’t really have any experience describing perfumes, nor do I have a “floral-extravagant” writing style; I hope that’s not a problem.

So I’ll just dive right in with this perfume, as I saw it sitting in a drugstore today. I didn’t really expect much from this scent, as perfumes in a drugstore are usually so... unremarkable and somehow smell 90% like most of what’s offered in such stores: cleaning products!

But the unusual red bottle drew me in like a magnet, and after passing by it for the 5th time, I had to try this “horrible little water.” And WOW, it’s not horrible at all! After first only smelling it on a paper strip, I just had to know how it would work on my skin.
On the test strip, I smelled pure coconut, instantly reminded me of my youth, as I had a super coconut-scented hair shampoo from the brand “Guhl,” and since then I’ve been a total coconut fan.
However, the scent of the perfume wasn’t that - how should I put it - headache-inducing, overpowering sweet coconut scent that you know all too well (not even the shampoo back then), but somehow a bit “drier.”

I finally bought the scent today at a bargain price (14-15 euros); even when opening the unusual packaging (the perfume stands in a white holder with a transparent plastic “glass dome” on top), a scent wafted out, wonderfully smelling of summer and sunscreen, intense but not too intense, and pleasant. When applied to the skin, a woody-soft scent unfolds; normally I don’t like it too dry, but this one: just right (I can’t - yet - sniff out the exact scent components)!

Then it quickly becomes “coconutty” for me. But - as already mentioned - in a pleasant way. I’ve had it on my arm for about an hour now, and I keep smelling it, I find it really delicious!
Upon closer “sniffing,” it seems slightly powdery, maybe a little soapy, and very warm, creamy.

I didn’t notice any overpowering sillage; as my predecessor wrote: close to the body. That’s true.

After searching for something comparable for years, I finally found it - FINALLY! The ideal summer scent that transports me to a world far away from everyday stress, somewhere on a deserted island, me in my lounge chair, thickly slathered in sunscreen and sipping a piña colada.
Wonderful!
