Did JPG go back to school?
...and if so, maybe another ex-Guerlain creative? I'm just asking, because the whole day (since I sprayed Acapulco) a deja-smell flutters around in my face like a butterfly, and I can't get it. But Vahina de Delacourte is very similar.
First of all briefly in advance:
JP Guerlain, for the time being the last Guerlain perfumer of this unique clan, screwed up a lot before he disappeared from the spotlight. He was responsible for some of the house's 90's flops (though Mahora was a brilliant scent for me), got carried away with racist remarks and then sold the whole empire to the LVMHs.
He'd missed the boat in terms of fragrance. Something like Secret Intention, which was supposed to attract the Calvin-Klein generation, only scared off the guerlainophiles and nothing else.
But the other day, when nobody believed in it any more, a strange, quite Middle-East-influenced company stepped on the scene and stretched JPG in front of the cart. The flacons were borrowed from Dorin without further ado, cribbed, or whatever, a few fragrances were launched, the prices were not without ... and there were no rehearsals. Only overpriced scent strips! My interest went towards zero.
Then a few days ago a young man of Arab origin (nightingale, ick listen to traps!) announced in the Guerlain forum (well, just next to it!) that M.E.C. fragrances were the bees knees and that there was a 75% discount (hard to believe, but true!).
I announced in the same minute this happy news here, and bäm, the orders went off and sharings.
Today Acapulco reached me as first of the M.E.C.s.
And what can I say - it's beautiful! Why it is declared as men's fragrance is incomprehensible to me, because women can wear it in the same way, if not even better.
The top note may still be quite clovesy, but soon the most beautiful orange vanilla will be added and will survive all the germinating notes here and there, as well as Tonka etc.
This is also what reminds me of the vanilla exotic Vahina, which I also appreciate.
If JPG really created Acapulco (even partially), he still mixed something very successful, and even trendy, on his old days. Completely different from his big litters from before, but worth a try. So as a creamy, spicy summer vanilla scent. If you have a 75% code.
