1:1 comparison of Thirty Three with Madame de Maintenon
When I first tested Thirty Three, I felt as if I had smelled a very similar scent before... Yes, and I even have it in my collection...
It was or is Madame de Maintenon of Château de Versailles... (please wait with throwing the stone and read a little bit more first ;-P
If you compare the two fragrance pyramids with each other, the two have only 1 thing in common: Patchouli...
Nevertheless, I can't let it go, because in my nose the two are soo similar.
So a 1:1 test had to be made ;-)
Left on the arm the Thirty Three - and right the Madame de Maintenon sprayed on...
The Thirty Three begins strongly spicy, almost a bit "biting" - thanks to the pepper, I suppose. Then follows a fruity note, a dripping rose, fleshy-fruity and lustful... A very full-bodied and slightly intrusive yet proud rose... a little dirty maybe...
And then there is the note that reminds me so much of Madame de Maintenon... It's a chlorous saffron note...! Yes I smell saffron, even if it's not listed! I suspect it's a combination of patchouli and Typhoon Rose that makes me smell chlorinated saffron... The earthy darkness of Patchouli surrounds the fresh Taif Rose, that must be it...
So now let the stones fly, if you like ;-) Or do you smell the same as I do?
Later, after about 2 hours, the intensity of the rose diminishes a little - but it is always there - just not as strong as at the beginning....
Something woody is added, which gives the fragrance a wonderful durability . The wood carries the rose on hands and they enter into a wonderful symbiosis... Still resonates the chlorous saffron note, which I really appreciate very much ..
The scent has an enormous durability and even after a night + shower - it is still to be sniffed very close...
Sooo, then it's Madame's turn, which I had sprayed on the left side before:
Madame de Maintenon generally starts out a little less intense and by no means sharp, like the Thirty Three ....
The chlorous saffron note is in the lead here from the beginning and is actually very similar - like the one on Thirty Three, which appeared there after about 5 minutes...
Yes, in my opinion this is effectively the parallel of the two fragrances ...
The chlorous saffron note of Madame de Maintenon is joined by a restrained jasmine and a wonderfully earthy patchouli... The patchouli was used here more discreetly as with the Thirts Three, with which it only supports the jasmine and does not tear it down into the hole in the ground....
Madame de Maintenon stays in chlorous saffron-jasmine patch suit for a long time and then slowly weakens... The sandalwood gives the Madame a good hold, but she doesn't have such an enormous breath like the Thirty Three for a long time...
Even if the two are very similar in my opinion, there are still big differences... In general the Madame de Maintenon is more flowery and "friendly" than the Thirty Three - who is a little bit more cheeky, "dirty" and spicy...
Here is my ranking:
Scent:
Thirty Three: 10
Madame: 10
Durability:
Thirty Three: 9
Madame: 8
Sillage:
Thirty Three: 8
Madame: 7
Flacon:
Thirty Three: 8
Madame: 9
All in all, I would say to myself that you only have to have one of the two... But which one it is, you have to decide for yourself... Since I have the Madame already in my collection, I will enjoy her for now :-)
