It’s not about the packaging!
Well, Mr. Jeheimrat, you here too?
What a pleasure!
Yes, I completely agree with you, a person does not live by bread alone.
There must also be a bit of culture and art involved.
That's why I made my way here to take a look at the exhibition.
They call it Fernissaasche, I’ve been told.
How do you like it?
You say something ...
No, this is not my understanding of art.
Slapping ugly splashes on a canvas as if a drunken wild boar had rolled over it, and then wanting to sell it as modern art, I find that ridiculous. Not everything that is called art is actually art.
Art should actually convey something beautiful, or am I mistaken?
Art should evoke a sublime feeling, so that a person feels good, do you agree with me?
Well, you see ... and with this splattering here and all those pictures with the twisted and strange figures, I simply don’t feel comfortable.
What does the artist want to tell us with this? Probably nothing at all.
If he does, I seriously worry about his state of mind ...
What do you mean, Mr. Jeheimrat?
Yes, I thought so.
You give me the opportunity to ride my little hobby horse again.
But first, let’s get out of this crowd, Vaehrtesta.
It’s so loud here, you can’t understand anything anymore ...
Coffee?
Of course, but right away ...
You see, the composition of a good fragrance is a work of art.
Why? Because it pleases people when they smell something beautiful.
Do you agree with me, Mr. Jeheimrat?
Now, there is, as everywhere, also the big inflated packaging among fragrances. Just take Dior. It was once very big, and now ...
How do you like that?
Good, that you bring this up, Mr. Jeheimrat.
You see, this is not Dior that I have on today.
No, I must unfortunately contradict you.
They have sadly revamped the old Oh Soir, so that today it is something completely different. The original was a cloud, I’ll give you that.
But what they have made of it is no longer what I used to appreciate. Today, this stuff is flat, almost unbearably sweet, and a gentleman of the world can no longer wear it.
And vintage is hardly available anymore or only for a lot of money.
Why did I wear this then?
Now you are a rascal ...
This is somewhat like a revival of the original. No, not from Dior, but from some unknown little company that I didn’t know until now.
I can’t say much about the company, but this little water is excellent in my opinion.
If you didn’t know, you would think it was the old original scent of Oh Soir.
I wouldn’t have believed it possible.
Another coffee ...? A little cookie with it ...?
Now it is so that I first have to mention the ingredients. What should I say - they are mostly the same! Only there is unfortunately no lavender in these fragrances. If you sniff closely, you’ll notice that too. But that doesn’t take away from the beauty!
What surprised me, besides the incredibly low price, is the longevity. Well, with the old coriander, it is indeed so that it lasts as long as any perfume. But this stuff here, Puttingk Jriehn they named it, lasts and lasts and lasts ...
What do you think, sir?
Yes, yes, you notice it yourself. It smells extraordinary, just like the old Oh Soir. A bit softer, I agree with you. A bit citrusy, not quite as herbal and harsh as the original.
Perhaps also a bit warmer, just a little bit. Not as cool as the old, original Oh Soir.
Just because they didn’t mix in any lavender here, which I find regrettable.
But otherwise: absolutely brilliant!
I admit, this perfume here doesn’t have such a violent sillage. But it doesn’t have to, I think. I prefer it when it’s a little quieter.
Coriander, I always say, coriander, a gentleman of the world doesn’t swing the big fragrance club around. That wouldn’t be proper, because a gentleman doesn’t do that.
What do you think, Mr. Jeheimrat?
No, you don’t have to worry about that. It is still strong enough for the ladies to notice it. A perfume that has the entire allure of Oh Soir.
You see, Mr. Jeheimrat also thought at first that I would take this vintage fragrance water for a walk ...
Coriander, I always say, coriander, it doesn’t matter what this stuff cost. Only those who want to show off care about the price.
I prefer it when it’s not so expensive and still really good.
Well, I thought I should share this with you.
What is the name of the company? Omerta, it says on the packaging. No, it’s not that fancy, the packaging. But you shouldn’t pay attention to that. It’s about the content, and that’s great!
It’s like with the pictures back there in the Fernissaasche. A fancy packaging doesn’t make art ...
How do you like that, sir?
Yes, of course, I happened to take the bottle with me.
If you want to risk a little spritz unnoticed ...? I imagine it, no one has to see ...
Well, I expected that.
As I promised, didn’t I?
You see.
But of course, Mr. Jeheimrat.
No need to thank me.
Do visit me again soon in my little salon!
And greetings to the dear lady!
