Liberation Strike at Night
Stubbornness can sometimes really get on your nerves, not to mention having to use one of those beautiful curse words with physiological components here in front of the sensitive readership.
Galbanum, in its clear, sincere, and soothing green strength, represents for me like no other fragrance ingredient something positive - it clears the mind, untangles thoughts, creates a clear view, and promotes decision-making.
Cabochard, this stubborn one, has made a refreshing comeback on the market in recent years.
It is successful, light, filled with light, and wonderfully different than ever before.
Bernard Chant already showed a good hand with the original version in 1959. Uncompromising and expressive.
Now, Lalique Beauty, the owner of the brand rights, unfortunately does not name the creator of this 2019 EdT variant, which is a shame because it is definitely very well done.
The packaging does not need to hide; it is an elegant black box with a ribbed surface and a golden frame, as well as the brand name in italic script - Cabochard has been in cursive since 1959.
One can certainly say that the fragrance is a true classic, after all, it has been able to inspire for sixty years until it was changed for today's taste. Unfortunately, other Chypre icons could not keep up and were tragically discontinued.
The bottle meets the high quality standards of Lalique; it is heavy and charmingly reminiscent of the 1960s with its asymmetrical black bow.
The sprayer is unsurpassably good. I have rarely seen such a fine mist.
Should we make it a stubborn one?
Hiss!
Ding Dong, the Aldehyde family is already waiting to be properly greeted.
Kiss!
What, you want to leave already?
Oh yes, I completely forgot. Today your cousin turns 19! What a beautiful number! Well, then say hello to her for me!
But the nice gentleman here can stay, right?
Hello dear Galbanum, please take a seat. You look so green. Nice sage leaf on your lapel.
Now, don’t look so serious, it’s meant kindly!
That such resins always need a nudge to smile, oh my!
Oh yes, you can let the kids romp outside in the garden, that way we’ll be undisturbed.
The older Ylang is very well-behaved, look at that. He can keep an eye on the little rose and the cheeky jasmine.
So kids, have fun in the garden, and if anything happens, let us know.
Galbi, if you want to freshen up, you’ll find the little soap with floral sandalwood and patchouli in the guest bathroom.
I know, such a hint of old Spain still enchants.
I’ll be waiting for you on the leather couch.
Well, who would have thought, such a refreshment has done you good. So, now let’s indulge in memories and paint the world a bit more hopefully!
Ding-a-ling!
Oh dear, who is interrupting our nice gathering now?
One moment, I’ll be right back.
Murmur murmur, light cursing and resolute striding, and plopping down on the couch with black sunglasses.
X: “What kind of kitsch are you rhyming together again?
And what’s that old Galbi doing here?
Hello there!
And no names please, I’m staying incognito!”
I: “Dear X, Aldehyd of the dawn, I will be careful not to reveal your identity here!
We were just talking about Galbi’s beauty treatment when you arrived…”
X: “I just arrived at the right time! It smelled suspiciously like a little romance here!
Almost like in a Doris Day movie, right, you two lovebirds?
Well, I’ll play the 13th fairy now!
So!
And I still have a bone to pick with you, you couch hero of Galbanum!”
The mood darkens, uncomfortable tension makes the air more resinous, Galbi looks seriously perplexed like a gentleman from the 1960s.
X: “Now let’s clear up this oh-so-sweet image of the 60s.
And you, Galbi, keep your mouth shut!
So, I didn’t buy you out of love back then, no, but as a defense mechanism.
And I could still sue the perfumery for damages today!”
Sensitive souls please read other reviews here!
X: “My goodness, I had it easy back then. Stewardess and engaged!
Well, flight attendant was the dream job at that time. Good manners, the best food on board, beautiful hotels to stay in, ah…
Today I feel sorry for the colleagues, they need close combat training!
So, I’ll make it short. That one lecher of a airplane pharaoh had his eyes on us girls, free according to the motto, the pots of meat in Egypt have declared all you can eat.
But not with me!
I thought I was safe with you, you oh-so-serious Galbi, but far from it.
The lecher was all the more attracted to you, like a lure!
Then there was that one hotel overnight stay in New York.
There was a knock on my door in the middle of the night.
The gentleman in question suddenly needed to talk, saw that I was reading Erich Fromm and wanted to philosophize with me about God and the world.
First warning: Captain, I’m tired now and still suffering from jet lag. And you need to be fit for the onward flight to Los Angeles tomorrow.
No reaction.
On the contrary, somewhere Miriam Makeba was singing her Pata Pata from a radio.
And the lecher understood the lyrics ambiguously.
Second warning: Captain, don’t you think my engagement ring goes very well with my complexion?
No reaction.
He could still order those delicate crêpes filled with strawberries at this late hour.
Third warning: Captain, maybe my scent should have made it clear to you that I resolutely oppose…
Reaction.
He was practically adoring me because of my bitter noble scent!
Well, all good things come in threes, I told myself.
I pressed 20 dollars (a lot of money back then, adjusted for inflation) into his hand and said:
You know, New York really has everything.
I’m sure that on 42nd Street at this late hour, cheeky girls without cover and with curves would love to discuss the principles of life with you over delicious crêpes and Pata Pata vibrations.
Just maybe leave the wedding ring here, it doesn’t go down well!
Well, why are you both staring like that?
If anyone can be stubborn, it’s me!
Of course, there was thunderous applause and recognition from my girls, the captain scurried away like a shy kitten back to his room, and we had the most turbulence-free onward flight to the West Coast.
I could almost swear that the sea parted during the landing approach.
So, there you have the liberation strike of the 60s, you two boys.
No hard feelings, but I simply cannot play the lady of decorum.
Have fun with whatever you’re up to…
Kiss!”
I think I might just get the EdP version after all.
This one already smells heavily of a cliffhanger.
