With all due respect ...

...I love all ladies - and I cannot agree with their supposedly bad image.

Why do I often read the word "tacky" in this context?

This now derogatory word comes from "proletarian" - the worker - which is an honorable profession.

And I also like the gold nugget - it signals something special.

The Absolutely Lady fits well into my lady collection, as she has style and elegance, even if she appears a bit more "buttoned-up" than her more open-hearted sisters.

The herbaceous cool mix of bitter orange and neroli gives the lady a touch of coolness - but no coldness - she is approachable, yet keeps a cool head.
This lady has earned respect.
But with the warm orange blossom, she shows a soft heart.
The jasmine radiates and patchouli adds depth.

A lady as she is described in books - both in high heels and in rubber boots.

You meet her in the boardroom - but also on her knees working in the garden - which brings us back to the proletariat.

I don't know the scent yet, but I agree with the word "tacky."

He's probably called "tacky" because he's very popular among "lower" social classes. So it's a term full of prejudices. Being poor doesn't have to mean being "tacky," and being wealthy can definitely be "tacky" too. It's really a total misnomer-like you said, working (proletariat) is an honorable profession. And you should always form your own opinion about a fragrance and not rely on any prejudices.

I have to say, I don't know her at all.

I don't know the scent yet, but what you're describing sounds so good! ;-) The regular one is almost too sweet for me, and I find the bottle "ugly," but in the end, the content is what matters most!

The transition from tacky to honorable work... you hit the nail on the head with a lot of common sense... what would we all be without craftsmen and all the people who work with their hands... if I could, I would award you 10 trophies right now...

Trashy is the new tacky :=) I can't find that either. They're cozy. And good.
