The Platonic Perfume
In Plato's world of ideas there is certainly a perfume somewhere that smells like the "perfume itself". It's standing there smelling like perfume. More is not possible, because it must remain the idea of the "perfume itself".
It's probably from Hugo Boss.
The round "Hugo Woman" illustrates where the image comes from, that the Boss fragrances come absolutely arbitrary, meaningless, so much so that it annoys. Ixh doesn't know of any boss scent that isn't at least very pleasing. But kindness doesn't always mean unimaginativeness. But I'm afraid it is here. The nasty thing is that Woman, in addition to this arbitrariness, has something that I find quite annoying instead of a nosecatcher that tears the 0815 scent around again (as happened at Femme or Ma Vie).
The prelude is still quite all right. A little bit citrical, but not too much. And something discreet aquatic. Like a glass of still water. Refreshes if necessary, but the sparkling water is missing. Then comes the apple, as sour as it is artificially scented. And that's the note that bothers me. It has something of a cleaning agent or room freshener, but much too acidic. Something flowery, which becomes vanilla-sweeter with time, then floppies in the background. Very unclear and washed-out, but also all the more artificially smelling. You can only smell the wooden base (same here) if you know that it is there.
Sillage gets up close and personal fast. Shelf life approx. 5 hours.
The bottom line is that something so arbitrary comes out here that it is again very difficult to carry. I really don't need a mega-obtrusive fragrance. Even something simple can inspire me. The problem here is probably this arbitrariness in poor quality. With a simple scent, it would be important that there are no disturbing side smells. No Taumspray-Asdoziationen, no plastic etc.. I'm afraid that didn't work out here
