Lets go Krazy
You would have thought that, after pulling three blinders out of his hat - including the tuberose monster Amarige - Dominique Ropion would have eased off a bit and produced something a bit more normal.
Well, he did, in a way...
But, as the name implies, Krazy Krizia isn't normal.
It's a lovely, soft oriental of peaches and cream, but there's something else going on - just below the surface.
When I was at school, I had a Saturday job on the local fruit and veg market, and that involved taking the empty boxes and all the bad produce to the bin lorry.
Now, it's been a long time since I've sniffed a rotten orange with green mould on it, but that's what this strange undercurrent reminds me of, a crate of mouldy oranges.
The great Roudnitska was still around in 1991, and if the composer of that famous over-ripe melon had smelled this, I wonder if he would have been amused, or flattered even.
Something that evokes Ernest Beaux' crème anglaise, and Diorella, and still hits the sweet spot; that’s one helluva perfume in my opinion.
