Femme Noblesse LR 2007

I have been a fan of the actress Iris Berben since my youth. No, not a hardcore fan, but I always found her beautiful - as the "heavenly daughter," as "Luzie," and later in "Guldenburgs," or even later, aging in the film "Buddenbrooks".... She is still that way today - timelessly beautiful. I admit, I have always admired women with jet-black hair and fair skin...Liz Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh. Okay, those are the ultra-beautiful, but I always counted Iris Berben among them. An unattainable ideal of my youth...Dyeing my hair black doesn't help if beauty is otherwise lacking. Cruel nature!

However, I would have wished for a better perfume for Ms. Berben, one that bears her name or at least did - she has apparently distanced herself from the scent "Femme Noblesse" and the manufacturer.

At first, I perceive a distinct hairspray note, somewhat sharp and therefore a little off-putting - barely more than a 6.0 rating. It takes quite a while for this note to fade. Then the perfume becomes quite decent on me. I can hardly recognize any of the mentioned fragrance notes, at most the oak moss. I personally don't particularly like it anyway, but it has its fans.
As it develops further, "Femme Noblesse" appears rather light and floral on me. Oriental wouldn't have come to mind, nor powdery. At this stage, I would give it a 7.5, but I'm still not really enthusiastic.
Overall, on me, it is a floral-elegant scent with a rather unpleasant start.

No, Ms. Berben, you are much more beautiful than this perfume!
