Rampers like us
You and I were not among the cool ones at school. We were too inconspicuous in our behavior for that. We didn't aim to be the center of attention. No, we always did our thing. Here and there what took, swam, but actually never so really with the flow.
We knew how to express ourselves in other ways. You through fashionable and flashy outfits and accessories, I through black clothes and my love of dark sounds of either synthesizer or guitar. Or both. With our favorite fragrances from our youth, we admittedly also made a statement. Positioned ourselves as the real ramp sows that we were. Even if it has noticed only those who have looked a little closer and listened to us.
I wore Cašmir in my younger years. Du Monteils Royal Secret. A cologne that is so completely none. An absolute firecracker and at the time certainly a men's magnet.
This fragrance is dark, spicy, green and has something absolutely mysterious about it. In addition, an insane charisma and a very long shelf life. To dance through the nights until there is no tomorrow. I sniff and remember the stories you told me. How you had no voice the next morning after a raucous ball at school. How you were in love and didn't want to stop dancing. Surrounded by chypre sounds, soft flowers, patchouli on a green vetiver bed.
At first sniff, Royal Secret is clearly a chypre for me, but there is more. This often somewhat rugged, repellent, which often characterizes Chypres, this typical seriousness, which is missing for me here. For that, the fragrance has too opulent-floral heart. I think I perceive other flowers besides jasmine. Possibly tuberose, maybe even a hint of orange blossom. And it has dark, smoky traits, but never becomes vanilla like Obsession, for example. Nevertheless, he strikes for my nose also already a little in this notch and was there probably a bit pioneer.
A fragrance for the real Rampensäue from that time. Whether they wanted it or not. And who came a little closer, looked a little closer, has possibly recognized how noble and actually also delicate this on the first Schnupperer bulky fragrance can also be. Precious, just as the wearer.
Many thanks to Amadea70 for the test possibility
