Lady Marmalade
...or: A spray of sex, please.
Sometimes, everything that can be said about a fragrance has already been said. But then it evokes so many images in the mind that you want to dedicate a comment to it as well. This is the case with Moulin Rouge and me - and that's despite the fact that it doesn't really suit me. But read on.
I was (once again) hooked by Ergreifens' comment. Powder, alcohol, and sex - that sounded like a fragrance I at least wanted to try, and so I received a sample of Moulin Rouge through a sharing, which of course had to be tested immediately.
The scent starts off very alcoholic for me. I feel more reminded of rum punch than absinthe. This is probably due to the cinnamon and plums. However, I don't have the impression that I'm directly sniffing the aforementioned drink, but rather that the breath of someone who just drank it is wafting into my nose. Not completely unpleasant, but still, I mentally take a step back. The alcohol smell fades over time - but this aroma remains for a long time, which caresses the perfumed and powdered body of a femme fatale.
Her evening makeup is a bit smudged, and under her fur-collared coat, she wears nothing. A hint of fresh sweat can be sensed - it has been a long evening. She has carelessly tossed aside her fine leather handbag, sat on the bed with her legs crossed, and looks up challengingly.
I don't associate her with wax, but this woman definitely doesn't have flowery sex. She has experimented, knows what she wants and how to get it. She no longer cares about what others say about her. Trivialities no longer interest her; she lives only once and wants to fully enjoy it.
The name "Moulin Rouge" is truly well chosen. The fragrance strikes me as incredibly decadent, seductive, erotic - in a very adult, yes mature, and somehow anachronistic way. This is definitely not an office scent and also not suitable for an evening on the couch. This fragrance needs the right ambiance. Even for avant-garde theater or a visit to the opera, it wouldn't be for me. A variety show like the famous red mill would be just the right place. To wear it elsewhere requires a certain presence and the knowledge of one's own erotic effect.
And therein lies a bit of the catch for me: I, at my current 25 years, simply feel too young for this wonderful fragrance. It would come off on me like a costume. An expensive favorite costume, but still immediately recognizable as such, since I couldn't credibly convey the message that this fragrance sends out into the world.
For now, I will let it go again - but Moulin Rouge is certainly another candidate on the list "I will test this again in a few years."

Lady Marmalade is a great choice ;-) I don't need a special setting for it... I wear the scent just for myself. Great comment!

Nice comment. I had it a few years ago, but there’s a certain waxy note in it that kind of threw me off. Unfortunately, just that! **Femmefatalpokal.**
