The darker Lancaster Concentrate?!
After my comment on "Lancaster Concentrate," I received the suggestion that to complete this 80s fragrance experience, I absolutely must test "Marbert Woman." A good perfume lover certainly doesn't need to be told twice, and so today it arrived - the sample of "Marbert Woman."
The anticipation was high, and I wasted no time applying a few drops to my skin. What then bombarded me in terms of scent impressions can best be described as a "scent roller coaster."
No real direction, sometimes it goes up, sometimes down, and even upside down. The top notes were so confusing, nothing was really graspable or definable.
After a rather soapy start with a shower gel character, the fragrance then took on a vanilla and amber direction. Warm, soft, noble, and sweet, but sweet in a mature way. Patchouli is unmistakably present, but just as I like it, namely soft and rounded and by no means with a "damp cellar attitude." Wonderful! The truly many fragrance components cannot be captured individually; the roller coaster takes different turns again and again: flowers, woods, amber, and vanilla flash up here and there.
What remains is this incredibly beautiful warmth and grace of this scent, which becomes darker and gains intensity as it develops.
A grand scent cinema from the 80s in the year 2013!
I find that Lancaster's "Concentrate" and Marbert's "Woman" are very, very similar. One of the few differences, in my opinion, lies solely in the depth of the fragrance. In this respect, I would say that Marbert's "Woman" is the darker Lancaster "Concentrate."
And one thing is clear: I have to have it - the next autumn/winter is definitely coming, and then I will cozy up on the sofa with Marbert one time and Lancaster another! This doesn't mean that it wouldn't work at other times, but I always associate such cozy scents with the darker seasons.
