Gabriela Sabatini Gabriela Sabatini 1989 Eau de Toilette

iuvenes dum sumus... post iucundam iuventutem , post molestam senectutem nos habebit humus....altes -Studentenlied. Today: "When I`m sixtee four" or also "Once I was seven years old"....
What a fragrance. It catapults me back to my early twenties, maybe even earlier.
All the longing is still there, the full fragrance in all its power, approachable, not just up close with a sillage that filled the room. With notes that were strong without us being able to identify them individually. Not even today. Fruits, flowers, woods so beautifully interwoven, so finely woven into a veil that they are barely recognizable individually. An overall impression, slightly animalistic even, tart, not just sweet and pleasing, not just floral and vanilla, all-encompassing and showing a zeitgeist. I am not hiding! I'm wearing a sweatband on my forehead! I've exhausted myself, but I've also won! And if not, look at me! I've done my best!
That's what I want to say to my disgusts. Both are heavily perfumoized :)
