Never fails

Update august 14th 2023:
OMG...every time I spray her on my skin, like I did just now, I am shocked about how she outperforms many - maybe even most - of my other, more expensive, fragrances! In scent as well as in performance.
I actually can't stand it that my cheapest fragrance is one of my all time favourites :-)!

It is a real 'feel good' perfume. I wish I could describe her better because 'soapy' 'powdery' and 'floral' are all true, but the way the notes are balanced...there is nothing like it, really!
'She is like the sum of all my favourite scents' would be the best way to do her justice.
Feels good to spray on, feels good to catch her whiffs and feels good to wake up to, which absolutely happens because of the great longevity.
I forgot to mention it, but the showercream is also lovely, smells just like the EDP; I also have the deo, which I like less, that one is a bit too citrussy for my likes and matches the EDC better I presume...

But oh....this EDP....so, so lovely!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bottle, the name 'Tosca' and packaging were never appealing to me. But one day, I just tried it in a shop and....wow! It was love at first sniff! Really did not expect that!
This is so soapy, fresh and at the same time alluring! This is being compared to Chanel No 5, but I didn't like Chanel No 5 (untill their latest release which is more mellow and better than the former one imo) and a lot of aldehyde florals are being compared to Chanel No5 without me being able to relate to that.
I smell a little bit of a 'Blue Grass vibe' in Tosca, but with Blue Grass (which I also love!) I am always a bit reluctant to wear that in public because it seems to be an 'either you love it or you hate it ' kind of scent and I don't want to wear something offending (though I never had any complaints wearing it and my boyfriend likes it:-), so just a feeling). Tosca has that same airy, soapy freshness, but whithout that significant spicy,clove dry down that is in Blue Grass and that, sometimes, can be quite prominent. This won't offend anyone which doesn't mean it won't be noticed: I recieved many compliments on it.
Tosca never fails me, it's also perfect if you can't decide on what to wear. Because this one really never fails: In spring and summer, it will provide you with freshness and in fall and winter it will provide you with a cosy feel!
Unbelievable that this is so cheap and underrated!

Ommaduft? I say timelessly good

Sometimes oldies play on the radio that I haven't heard in a long time and they hit me right in the heart. Songs that evoke memories, awaken longings, feelings mixed with nostalgia and happiness. Then I consider bringing out the old LPs from the basement, Brian Ferry, Robert Palmer, Simply Red, Depeche Mode..... What does this have to do with Tosca? Tosca also went straight to my heart with the first spray.

Tosca was at my grandma's, I even believe we grandchildren once gifted it to her, and it was also at my aunt's and the favorite neighbor's, but I had no memory of the scent. Over the years here, Tosca crossed my path from time to time and I remember that Seerose once recommended the Extrait to me, unfortunately hard to find. Now I read Gold's statement, Medusa's comment, browsed the internet, saw Tosca as EPD and spontaneously bid on it. Bullseye....

The opening features Neroli, underlaid with aldehydes and other citrus notes. And although Neroli is not one of my favorite fragrance notes, 4711 says hello, I like the start. Then lily of the valley, rose, and jasmine join in, it becomes floral, yes also soapy. A fine, powdery spice now envelops me, Mr. Pluto notes: Do you have something new, it smells good. Remarkably, he doesn't often comment on my fragrances anymore; partners who are not so fragrance-savvy understandably become a bit dull over time, at least that's how it is for us. Towards the base, vanilla sweetens lightly, labdanum and patchouli round it off. I am very taken with Tosca, the scent is elegant, some say old-fashioned or derogatorily Ommaduft, okay, it is an old treasure, so am I. I say, it is timelessly good. And I have always had a weakness for antiques, whether scents or furniture. Besides, I know many grandmas who smell really good.

Price/performance is top, sillage and longevity are good, wearable for all occasions, maybe not in the height of summer. And the strong sex can also give it a try if they like powder.

Aunt Tosca is still elegant!

Aunt Tosca is still elegant!

Aunt Tosca is from the year 1924, still sharp in her mind, but otherwise (due to age) a bit frail.
Aunt Tosca sleeps in linen bed sheets, which are still starched and ironed. They must be white, snow white! Colorful microfiber stuff does not enter her bedroom. She is afraid of bed sheets with animals on them.
Aunt Tosca has a private caregiver who helps her with personal hygiene and washes her in the morning at seven with a harsh soap that smells citrusy and very clean. The caregiver must wash each finger individually.

Aunt Tosca only wears blouses with white collars and cotton underwear, which also needs to be starched and ironed.

Aunt Tosca has never married and still prefers to be called Miss, even though she wasn't particularly Miss-like in her youth. She was once pretty and after the war, she had her fun with the Allies in the barn.

Aunt Tosca employs a foot care specialist, also referred to as a domestic helper, who brings her a bouquet of mixed roses and carnations once a week. Only fragrant flowers are allowed, no sterile roses that look nice but don’t smell.

In front of her window, a jasmine bush is blooming.

For her 90th birthday, she received a huge bouquet of flowers. Spring blooms, daffodils, and Easter lilies. She dried it and it still stands on the Jugendstil sideboard that she inherited from her mother.

At exactly 3:00 PM, coffee is always served. Every day there are vanilla rolls. Not even an earthquake will disrupt her routine.

Once a week, the antique furniture is polished with oil. She doesn’t compromise on that!

I have to wrap this up now because dinner is served at exactly 6:00 PM!

The Strange Ondulation of Mrs. Gisela

Book scorpions are not actually real scorpions, but they owe their cute name to their appearance.
They actually dwell in old books and feed on pesky dust mites, thus helping ancient writings to survive.

This year, Fibelskorpi hops onto my shoulder, and we read together from a dusty book of West German literature.
Pragmatically, my little companion expresses himself in a wonderfully sparse manner, always adding an adjective or adverb to the text in a fairy-tale-like personification.
Simply adorable!

FS: Blushing.

Let’s now open the cover.
It reads as follows.

Dear reader, in order to understand the following lines, you are kindly asked to apply the EdP concentration of Tosca.

FS: Strange.

A: Well then, dear Fibelskorpi, something fragrant can’t hurt.

Hiss!

FS: Breath-stealing.

A: That’s due to the ancient aldehydes, which continue to abstractly paint the beautiful citrus fruits full of light in golden hues.
Especially the orange gently caresses the skin.

FS: Subcutaneously sludged.

A: I’d like to have missed that!
Really!
Be careful, the white lilies lure fresh and floral with brother jasmine to the flowerbed.
Everything is very subtle and in orange tones, these yellow flowers.
Ylang and daffodil increasingly warm and surround a sympathetic rose.

FS: Sighing.

A: To avoid getting hurt by the thorns of the rose, the base offers a leather glove dusted with vanilla powder, labdanum, and patchouli from the croc bag.

FS: Feminine.

A: Yes, that’s great-grandma Tosca, a golden bouquet of flowers with a vanilla leather cover.
The amber crackles like a shellac record, delightfully sweet in the nose, the gentle waves before Travemünde sound peacefully soapy.

FS: Sentimental.

A: Alright, let’s continue reading the text.
Quiet now!

It happened not too long ago that Mrs. Gisela, unhappy with her hair, sought the advice of a well-reputed hairdresser.
Having successfully kept her crow's feet at bay with Hormocenta, her rebellious hair was now rebelling against volumizing hair sprays.
The expert presented her with a promising solution: ondulation.
She became nervous, even anxious about the procedure, but the Figaro knew how to calm her nerves with a glass of women's gold.

FS: Irresponsible.

The hot iron formed fashionably daring waves in her hair. It hissed and steamed like in an old foundry.
To give the sharply styled hair waves a breather, the Figaro gently massaged an indefinable molasses, declared as a treatment pack.
The sharp smell of chemicals on her scalp made her furious; she indignantly refused the hood dryer ordered after the rinse.
Laughing, the nimble one revealed to her the secret of good humor. In a dance hall reserved only for gentlemen, they sniffed at brown vials, got rosy cheeks, and yodeled with fervor the pure joy of life.

FS: Grotesque.

Then Mrs. Gisela rummaged in her croc bag and pulled out the tenderly engraved vial of Tosca.
She gathered her courage, opened the cap, held the sprayer to her nostrils, and pressed down.

FS: Astonished.

And so, under the warm hood dryer, the transcendent disappearance of Mrs. Gisela began.
The golden aldehydes shimmered seductively and magically transformed her like Thumbelina into an oversized box full of Rocher balls, her insatiable land of milk and honey.
Ripe lemons and juicy oranges then whisked her away to the postcard from Capri; she became part of the photograph surrounded by playful mermaids and a Venus by Botticelli. So azure blue was the sea, so well-maintained the tour bus full of waving cultural travelers.

FS: Technicolor.

Fresh white flowers let her fly weightlessly over the snow-covered Alps, catching sight of the homeland-evoking lakes of Schwangau.
Delicate as a dandelion, Mrs. Gisela landed in the courtyard of Neuschwanstein Castle.
From a winding turret, a lovely, elderly maid in a dirndl rushed in, a basket full of daffodils, exotic yellow flowers, and roses in her arms.
With a rolling R sound, she greeted Mrs. Gisela with a grin.
Moved, both ladies embraced.
Mrs. Gisela was close to tears; she thanked the dirndl figurine Uschi Glas from the bottom of her heart for everything, truly everything.
She would gladly entrust her with the choice of the Federal President in the Federal Assembly in her name, as she felt unable to decide on such complicated matters. Ideally, Mrs. Glas should also advise her on her postal vote.
She, who embodies tenderness again, could present such a beautiful and happy family.
Like old bosom friends, they kissed each other on the cheeks.

FS: Submissively.

Mrs. Glas took her by the hand and led her into the singers' hall.
There leaned, worldly-wise with his shirt half-open against one of the neo-Romanesque columns, the man who understood women's desires like no other.
His voice hit every note, making promises come true.
What Mrs. Gisela would give him, he would never have dared to dream.
She had ignited an extinguished fire in him.
To love her, to touch her.
Her heart raced, she trembled all over.
And so it paid off to have practiced the applause cue in the Mainz television garden that day. Now she could clap refreshingly in time for her Roland Kaiser.

FS: Obediently.

From a parallel universe, the Figaro called out again from afar to inquire about Mrs. Gisela’s well-being.
Another dose of Tosca would be necessary.

FS: Alarmingly.

Suddenly, snow-white powder fell over Neuschwanstein Castle.
In a vanilla snowstorm, cheeky Wolpertingers carried Mrs. Gisela away over the clouds, only to drop her exhausted halfway in the Glottertal of the Black Forest.
Dazed, she lay in the meadow as paramedics placed her on a stretcher and took her to the chief physician of the nearby clinic.
Prof. Dr. Sascha Brinkmann reassured her; she had only sustained minor scratches from the fall, nothing to worry about.
A little healing later, she thanked the expert, as women would trust him.

FS: Tolerantly stimulating.

Nothing stood in the way of her honeymoon with Roland; she was well, according to his diagnosis.
Sister Gabi would take the young couple to the airport.

FS: Fever-dreaming.

And so, a caring angel like Gabi magically changes into her white uniform to promptly welcome the happy couple on board in the name of Captain Mahmud and wish them a pleasant flight to Mogadishu.
However, they should keep the vanilla leather-covered seatbacks upright and refrain from smoking.

FS: Fateful.

Mrs. Gisela became suspicious, as she had long since quit smoking.
Where was the smoke coming from?
At the last minute, her soufflé was taken out of the hood dryer, crackling and ambered.
Customer and hairdresser beheld the hairy masterpiece and laughed their troubles away.

FS: Consciousness-expanding.

And from then on, Mrs. Gisela demanded the benefit of the hood dryer and Tosca with Prussian regularity and punctuality.

La vita e un opera

I neither know the opera of the same name nor its content. The enchanting fragrance water, however, I know very well. Rather, it prompts me to share my thoughts on this rather inconspicuous and little-noticed scent today.
I am currently in the process of drastically reducing my collection; anything that isn't worn regularly has to go.
I hadn't worn Tosca in a long time, so I dug it out.
It is a calm and simple bottle in the old version, which I have had for what feels like an eternity.
As is my way of describing scents without dissecting them...
My workday becomes a stage, the curtain rises, I play the lead role,
the lighting is perfect, the dress fits like a glove, make-up and hairstyle
are top-notch, a real blockbuster.
The orchestra begins, a symphony of the finest flowers, aromas, and elegance.
Nothing disturbs, nothing is too much or too little, powder and floral dust, vanilla and violet, a bit of forest, a charming veil. Not loud or intrusive.

I forget that I am wearing work pants and safety shoes, my hair hastily pinned up, and that it is 6 a.m.
Every day with Tosca is an opera of my life.
A dream.
