Who still remembers ...
... Viva di Tosca?

I still remember it well, as I had just moved to the Rhineland in the nineties and felt quite out of place there.

I had always been a fan of "Tosca," which you could reliably find in our family, so I trusted Viva as well.
And my trust was rewarded.

It is different from the "original," but equally beautiful.
Just the name "Tosca" calmed me, far from home, and brought me close to my dear family.
I supported this by gifting Viva to my mom, aunt, cousin, and the friends who stayed at home.
The feedback was positive, except for the friend who criticized the sweetness in the fragrance.
Surprising, because Viva strikes me primarily as slightly bitter - smoky, underlined by spicy notes.
Warm temperament.
The sweetness only gradually mixes in, no, it rather hovers above, and is wonderfully honeyed.
A scent that conveys warmth, familiarity, yes, home.

Now I am back home, and I am grateful that Viva has always been like a good friend by my side.

Better to have pockets without money - than to be without a friend in the world.

Latecomer from the 80s
It seems so, even though I am a child of the 90s and therefore find it harder to judge.

Viva Di Tosca was an impulse buy, back in 1997 at Woolworth. I liked it back then vanilla-musk-creamy, I was into Sun by Jil Sander and Joop Femme, of which I had a miniature at that time. And also, Viva Di Tosca belongs, as I remember, in this series, dense, vanilla, intense. Vanilla is still a popular fragrance direction today, but today’s vanilla is sharper, less voluminous. This scent, with its extraordinarily present vanilla-musk-ylang-ylang-powderiness (I can only speculate about the notes, I would provide them if I find anything) belongs to the 80s, and I could have sworn it was a fragrance from that time. Longevity and sillage were, by the way, bombastic, very much in the style of the 80s.

Later, I received the squeaky Bella Firenze Di Tosca from the same brand as a gift, which I liked far less than its predecessor Viva Di Tosca.

Smells quite synthetic on me, strongly reminds me of the pink Wrigley's Extra bubble gum from the '90s, but pleasant.
