The Club of (Silly) Aunts

They meet regularly at the café "Sahnesteif," much like the chubby girls in Udo Jürgens' song "Aber bitte mit Sahne." The four ladies have clearly felt the ravages of time, and they have long since passed their third spring, but they still fancy themselves part of the Hot Voley. Right after graduating from high school, they married older, wealthy men and now live off their legacies.
They are Mechthild Fadenlauf, widow of a pom-pom manufacturer. Slogan: “Whether big or small, round and fluffy they must be.”
Hedwig Grünspahn, part-time vegan with photosynthesis intolerance, widow of a manufacturer of homeopathic medicines, especially globules made of 99.999% sugar and 0.000000001% active ingredient.
Agathe Straffkörper, widow of a plastic surgeon, and
Kunigunde Verhütlich, widow of a manufacturer of artistically designed condoms (e.g., with ruffles or a musical interlude of "Rammstein").

The four (over)ripe ladies always have something to talk about under the motto: “Those who brag get more out of life,” like Agathe, who buys a C-Class Benz every two years.
But today, it’s all about a perfume. Mechthild places a spray bottle on the table. General “Oh and ahhhh!” due to the pretty bottle. Mechthild announces it’s a rarity from Tita Rossi from 1987. Hedwig says she once had baggy pants from Tita in the 80s and also a flowing costume. The bottle is uncorked, and they all take turns applying it to their forearms.
A grapefruit-like citrus note rises, followed by an almost spicy and bitter sharpness.
Agathe complains: “Well, sweet or lovely it is not! You expect something different from such a playful bottle!”
While the four graces sip their coffee (they can’t really drink properly since their latest Botox injection prevents them from opening their mouths completely), Tita makes a turn on their arms and sends over an abundance of unsweet flowers, spices (not just cinnamon), and a scratchy powderiness.
Kunigunde crows: “Now it’s getting better, but sweet or feminine it’s not quite.” A men’s scent? Definitely wearable by men.
Later, caramel sends a very subtle sweetness, underscored by a light vanilla note. But overall, Tita remains a spicy, scratchy, powdery, old-school oriental that seems a bit out of time today, just like these four protagonists.

The Twenties..... 60 Years Later...

....When the fragrance "Tita" by Tita Rossi was released, the 80s were already well underway (1987), but the 20s of the 20th century were still present in this perfume. So intoxicatingly floral and vanilla, paired with cinnamon, amber, and caramel, it strikingly recalls masterpieces by Guerlain or Caron, which significantly influenced the scent preferences of the time. Oriental nights and crazy outfits, Paul Poiret's harem look, and indeed, indulgent and heavy fragrances. The Twenties, a decade of upheaval and innovation. Likewise, the 1980s. The fashion was unique and crazy in its own way, and fragrances like "Opium," a heavy spicy oriental, or "Knowing" by Estee Lauder, a thick, rich floral-mossy chypre, revolutionized the fragrance market. Sillage that left the wearer trailing miles behind was in vogue and cool. And Tita Rossi rode this wave on one hand, while on the other, she reflected on "Harem" and silk fabric harem pants and plush pillow romance, at least regarding her fragrance "Tita." I found a 5 ml bottle of this eau de parfum at a flea market for 2 euros. After testing it, I come to the following conclusion; A gourmand-flavored floral-spicy oriental with good longevity, strong sillage, and a distinctly woody-animalic aura. A retro bottle of a retro fragrance, which in turn is a retro of scents over 60 years old. Too complicated?... Maybe. Or: A 30-year-old fragrance that recalls 60-year-old predecessors, the 1920s translated into the 1980s. And now, almost 30 years later, a "time leap into both decades....

Surprise

Since Parfumo now offers the great opportunity to add miniatures to the collection, I set out to browse through my collection and finally catalog it this way.

Actually quite simple - I enter the name of the fragrance and then click on Collection and add it under Miniatures.

But then the surprise, I enter Tita de Tita Rossi and no search results are found.

Well, should I bother to submit a new suggestion for this miniature?

I carefully open the miniature to take a sniff. Here comes the next surprise - the fragrance unfolds a wonderful aroma. At first, it reminds me a bit of Shalimar, but then I think more of some Estée Lauder fragrances, and then again Guerlain.

Now my curiosity is finally piqued. A dab of the fragrance on my wrist. Let's see how it unfolds. In the meantime, I search the vast expanse of the electronic network and actually find a nice explanation about the bottle:
"French or Italian fashion design house

Company: since 1987 Cofci Paris

Already

In 1950, there were beautiful dresses from the house of Tita Rossi.

The Frankfurter Rundschau wrote the following on July 20

1968: The black chiffon blouse was almost a scandal

It was made of black chiffon & was nearly a scandal, the first transparent blouse shown in Rome that year. ...

Most Italian designers included some "maxis" in their autumn & winter collections, preferably coats over pantsuits.

Only one house, Tita Rossi, was bold enough to align its entire collection to this, until then not very successful new length.

From the ranks of buyers, the opinion was heard that the time for the maxi would probably not be ripe for another two years......
(The article was written by Nadeane Walker)

So that's why the bottle is shaped like a beautiful flowing dress.

And then I sniff my wrist again and it's wonderful jasmine that wafts into my nose. Simply romantic and beautiful.

And while I indulge and let the fragrance enchant me, the vanilla starts to emerge more and more.

And now I want to share my surprise with you, because I am sure that many of you have this gem of surprises in your collection.
