We go to the cowshed to laugh
Testing Cacao Oudh was a real laugh, in the truest sense of the word. I tested this fragrance creation together with my sister and my mother. I began. Sprayed the fragrance onto a test strip, waited a few seconds and put my nose to it. A sound of disgust escaped my throat and the corners of my mouth moved as low as my facial muscles would allow. My sister already had a grin on her face. Then I passed the paper to her. You know the emoji that's about to throw its breakfast out the top again? This expression was reflected on my lovely sister's face - a big grin on my part. Then passed on to our mother, who, quite daringly despite our previous reactions, carefully held the paper to her nose. And what did she say? "Blocked drain" - 5 second pause - "and poop!" My sister and I roll around laughing. After about 10 minutes, my niece comes into the room and innocently asks: "What smells like cow dung in here?" - Laughter from all sides. You could understand that none of us were interested in testing the scent and its progression on our skin, couldn't you? But after an hour I sniffed the paper again - unfortunately still a full pound of cow dung. After 4 hours again: cow dung as good as gone, now almost only a smoky note perceptible.
But seriously now: I was a little disappointed by the fragrance, because I really hadn't imagined it to be so blatantly stable-like. I find light animalism in fragrances quite appealing, but smelling like I've rolled around in cow dung is something I'd rather not do, oh no, that's not really my thing. But I'm not like that and give every fragrance a second chance. So back home in the evening, I sprayed the scent on the back of my hand (with the balcony door wide open!). But again, unfortunately, yuck and I-want-to-wash-off-thought. The barn smell doesn't come through quite as strongly on my skin as it does on paper, but it's still so clear that it's an absolute no-go for me. i lasted 15 minutes, then I had to use soap and water.
