I Bet You...?
*Dideldidel-dideldidel-dideldidel-dideldidel-ding-ding….. Dideldidel-dideldidel-dideldidel-dideldidel-ding-ding-ding-di-ding…*
*applause*
“Gregor Knolzing from Radevormwald bets that he can distinguish all variations of Armani Code just by taste. My dear Alberto: Do you think he can do it?”
“Caramba, of course he can!” *gesticulating Mediterranean-style* “Just look at that rag of a tongue!”
“And what will you do if you lose the bet? For that case, you have thought of a very special wager related to your profession as a perfumer.”
“Well, that’s how it is. Then I would create a new scent. From all the things that normally smell bad in perfumes, for example...”
“Let me jump in there for a moment. You’re really talking about ingredients that would ruin any fragrance, right? We’ve already prepared something based on information from the leading website on fragrance in Germany. So:
- diffuse, aquatic can-like freshness
- brackish driftwood
- putrid water, like old flower water.
- a strong plastic smell, like a rubber boat fresh out of the bag.
- watery, soapy slosh, like the smell when washing hair.
- a spice, specifically cardamom, which inexplicably manages to smell latently fecal. In other words: A hint of the sweet-cumin smell of fresh...I can hardly bring myself to say it...dog poop?
- a moldy Hedione-magnolia note, whatever that means…
- woody radish
- later a diffuse, sultry, woody sweetness
An impressive list. And all of that is supposed to be included and still be allowed to be called perfume. No one should immediately vomit from it, right?”
“Well, that’s how it is.”
“Well then: Great, the bet is on!”
------------------------
Mr. Morillas had a bet going and lost it spectacularly or something like that. Or he had an experimental day. I can’t explain otherwise what possessed him to launch this fragrance and then to name it with the most malicious humor ‘L'Envers du Paradis’ (if I translate that correctly: “The Other Side of Paradise”).
The result, however - it should be noted - does not amplify the disgusting potential of the ingredients used: The fragrance unexpectedly touches the realm of the passable just from below.
Maybe that was the self-imposed challenge. After all, creating a hellishly bad scent can probably be done by anyone. It may be that the artistry actually shows in what has just been sketched. Or that the other side of paradise is not some kind of hell, but, in a mean analogy to a thought from comic artist Jamiri, more like…Sprockhövel (www.sammlerforen.net/showthread.php?t=38141).
I thank Kovex for the sample.
