Lady Danger M∙A∙C 2016

I just had to get it again - and I will probably use it rarely.

This scent is a scent of memories. Not one that I wear for its good quality or because I love the fragrance so much, but one that accompanied me for a while and reminds me of times gone by.

Admittedly, the scent is really not a masterpiece. It comes off rather synthetic. It starts with a mix of eucalyptus, children's cough drop, cherry, leather, and a few jasmine flowers. It gets better the longer it is on the skin, becoming creamier. But it's not really good.

However, I used up two bottles of this scent back then.
I was in my mid-20s and fully into the makeup game. Therefore, I regularly visited the local MAC store, which no longer exists here today, and was advised by a lovely saleswoman whom I found super pretty. She was always beautifully made up and wore her ultra-long blonde hair tied back in a ponytail.

One day she said: "You are a Lady Danger!" and presented me with the corresponding fragrance. Of course, I wanted to identify myself immediately with this scent and especially with this name - "Lady Danger - yeah that's meee" and bought the fragrance.

In hindsight, she probably just wanted to sell me a fragrance, and I desperately wanted to be a naughty Lady Danger, lol.
To this day, I don't know if I ever really liked the scent or just what I wanted the scent to represent, an image I wanted my surroundings to have of me. Somehow wild and dangerous (which I really am not at all haha, but I would have liked to be)

In any case, I associate a lot of personal memories with this scent.

At some point, I got tired of it, and above all, I no longer clung to this statement "Lady Danger," and the scent fell into oblivion and was discontinued in the meantime.

Recently, however, I had to think of it again and didn't even remember what the scent smelled like, which I found unfortunate, so I hunted down the fragrance and managed to get an unused bottle. I was really curious and unfortunately had to realize that I had gotten used to other scents in the meantime.

My taste in fragrances is now accustomed to better quality. BUT interestingly, I have a favorite scent today that goes in exactly the same direction, just with a muuuuch better fragrance quality.

The Cherry Punk Eau de Parfum is the more mature, rounder, and higher-quality version of Lady Danger and could just as well bear that name.

Apparently, I haven't quite said goodbye to it yet.
