My girlfriend is an unconventional and demanding person who is not easy to gift.
Fragrance gifts are a gamble with her.
She does not hesitate to criticize the presented gift.
I would never come up with such an idea - for me, the gesture itself counts.
Another friend once gave her a cactus for her birthday - but I didn't want to go that far.
But everyone is different - and otherwise, she has her heart in the right place. However, I was not discouraged and tried again and again with a fragrance gift.
I found Cardin edt online - and the pyramid read on Parfumo as if the scent could match her diva-like nature.
For me, it's a chypre that does not skimp on ingredients.
Very aldehydic and spicy at the start - then a twist to rose, followed by a barrel of oak wood.
Too harsh for my taste.
Then, bitter oak moss appears on the scene, and civet further completes the unconventional scent profile.
It doesn't suit me - but maybe it suits my friend?
Risk!
And look - she was completely thrilled.
Because the scent also carries a special elegance - which my friend embodies.
She was genuinely happy and asked for more fragrances from the house of Cardin.
