...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.
You've summarized that masterfully! What a brilliant conclusion that reveals the gold in your heart! Truly a person who sees with their heart! A heartfelt trophy for you! PS: I like this lady too ;)
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 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...
