Woman Red Marbert 1999

Does anyone still remember Kelly LeBrock in "The Woman in Red," who turned Gene Wilder's head in 1984?
This movie came to mind when, during my frantic grab for samples this morning, I stumbled upon a spray labeled "Marbert Woman Red."
I had already chosen red pants and red accessories, so the choice of fragrance didn’t seem entirely wrong - although the onset of nostalgic memories also stirred a bit of concern that "a hint of Kelly" might not be quite appropriate for class.
But "no risk, no fun" - and some reactions from my male students could certainly add a certain thrill...

The disillusionment followed immediately:
With "The Woman in Red," "Woman Red" has about as much in common as Princess Lillifee does with Heidi Klum.
Instead of sparkling eroticism, synthetic-sweet fruits tickle my nose, which I can only identify as pear and passion fruit with a great deal of imagination, even when looking at the pyramid.
The scent impression is very artificial and a bit piercing, yet not really unpleasant.
"Woman Red" makes it clear at this point that individuality was probably not the goal of the perfumer.
This impression is reinforced with the addition of floral notes, which consistently continue the unnatural opening.

I cannot detect any further development nor anything in "Woman Red" that could be considered red in the sense of passionate, temperamental, or even erotic.
I find the scent to be exceedingly arbitrary, unambitious, and designed with a focus on supposed mass appeal.
What a shame.
But I really should watch Kelly again...
