Miss Krummbiegel in Seventh Heaven
Recently in the marketing department of Marc Jacobs:
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Miss Krummbiegel's unpaid internship, the heads of the marketing department at MJ (that's Emmdschey - an internal slang term) came up with something special. Not some impersonal gift for a maximum of €60 (including VAT), as Mr. Zinkemöller from accounting had recommended. No, it was something truly special to appreciate Miss Krummbiegel's persistent efforts to infuse her creativity: she was allowed to add a name to the 2023 "Daisy Eau So Fresh | Marc Jacobs" flanker. The big "Daisy Eau So Fresh | Marc Jacobs," which almost everyone knew, many loved, and even more wore daily to smell simply and effortlessly good.
She was beside herself with joy, bubbling with happiness, feeling like she was in seventh heaven, yes, like... in paradise. PARADISE, there it was!
So or something like that must have happened, because I can't explain the naming any other way.
With 'Paradise,' I associate many things (Monoï, frangipani, coconut, salt-sand-vanilla, apples, etc.), just not this scent.
The connection to "Daisy Eau So Fresh | Marc Jacobs" and Daisy Eau de Toilette is quite clear: floral, fresh, moderately sweet, with a bit of green in between to create depth and character.
But what is fun, cheerful, and playful in the two big ones is here a bit calmer, more melancholic, and serious.
If you know it, you can smell the pink pepper and the lavender - I had blindly guessed iris (no powder, no dust, no carrot) and earthy patchouli (no cellar, no chocolate). And here the circle closes again, because the search engine says that Mitti Attar smells like petrichor. Indeed, that's true; the original has been given a bit more transparency, earthiness, woodiness, and wetness (no aquatic!).
I don't recognize a classic scent progression; the three fragrance notes are present from the start and are almost equally intense.
If I try to create an image of the scent, I see a meadow with crocuses (I know, they smell very little) in front of me, it is early spring, still very cool, and the rain has just stopped.
So why 'Paradise'? Why not 'Lavender Fields,' 'A Day in Early Spring,' or for that matter 'Daisies on a Rainy Day'? No, better not. The last name sounds like a film for adults.
And the pink bottle doesn't really match the scent either. I would have preferred a bluish violet (like lavender or iris) instead of the candy pink of the packaging.
The scent is really beautiful, wearable daily, pleasant, unobtrusive, and literally grounded by the base note, but not boring or arbitrary - only the marketing behind it drives me completely crazy.
For the 15th anniversary of Miss Krummbiegel, I hope the heads of the marketing department listen to Mr. Zinkemöller.
P.S. The marketing department of Emmdschey just called me: They read my comment and are offering me an unpaid internship!! Can you believe it? For my 5th anniversary, I get to name a flanker. Rumor has it that it has something to do with yuzu and osmanthus. I think I’ll call it 'snipe & roasted bacon.'
P.P.S. Now a producer of adult films has also called here: for every silly title, I get €15, for every silly and double entendre title €20, and for silly and triple entendre even €27.
Thanks for reading :).
