Attack of the killer Maoam
The apartment is somewhat tidy and vacuumed, everything on my todo list feels pointless, so what do you do on such a busy Sunday? Right: Test perfume. And the mood's about to rise, I guess. I'll try a half-blind test, so:
1. Pull sample blind
2. write down first impressions
3. Read names and note further associations
4. Look up the fragrance pyramid and compare it with what you have experienced
So I sneak to my small drawer unit on the bedroom chest of drawers and try not to read the name when pulling out the sample. Pooh made it. To be on the safe side, I stick over the label and feel a little stupid, but what can you do for an exciting comment. The test sprayer is filled to about 1mL with a pale yellow liquid.
I sniff the spray head and take soft, slightly citric, slightly vanilla-kewy notes and am happy that no stinker has caught them. A sprayer on your left wrist has to do for now. The cookie notes take the upper hand here, the citrusiness steps into the background and is more reminiscent of the baking aroma of the lemon type. Light woodiness spreads, the lemon could also be a fat piece of cedar wood, but it quickly disappears again. Whether I find the fragrance pleasant, I can't say at this point yet, it seems a bit too synthetic. Definitely it is not a pure men's fragrance, because in the background a sweetness emerges, which lets one guess that it is a ladies' fragrance - at most a unisex fragrance. A little reminiscent of multivitamin juice at this point. Then the sweetness and fruitiness increase, I smell Maoam, definitely pink colors, taste raspberry or strawberry. Now it's clear it's a lady - or rather a girl's scent!
I pull the blank sticker off the label, it says Simply Pink, I think from Pink Sugar. When I added the sample to my collection I had actually noted that the spray head smells like Maoam and I'm afraid there won't be much left. And yet, it's getting more and more twitchy. It's hard for me to recognize individual notes. At this point I have to say that I don't like the fragrance very much anymore, I had hoped that the fragrance would develop in a fruity fresh direction.
A look at the pyramid reveals the overpresented forest raspberry in the top note, the lemon turns out to be bergamot, the woodiness probably as the fig leaf. The indicated heart notes of jasmine and white flowers are mercilessly lost. The base notes of strawberries, liquorice, which I can't smell explicitly, pink praline, whatever that is, and vanilla make the scent sweeter and sweeter.
The fragrance matches the name and is not uneven per se. I'm sure he'll please all the sweet tooth who want to smell like a Maoam. But it is definitely too sweet for me and, as already mentioned, I would have liked the citric notes to prevail, I could have safely done without raspberry. I still had fun.
