When visiting Konstanz at Lake Constance, one starts checking off various items on a to-do list. Besides the beautiful old town, the smaller very informative museums, a climbing course, and the university's own botanical garden along with a micro-zoo, I absolutely wanted to go pedal boating.
So I rented one and set off. After about 15 minutes, I was initially out of breath. -Break- and while doing so, letting my gaze lazily drift over the silver sparkling water.
Listening to the gurgling of the water gently lapping against the boat and watching the small sailboats maneuvering in the distance. Soft birdsong in my ears and a light breeze tousling my hair, allowing my thoughts to wander.
Wonderful.
The scent:
Tommy The Girl fits this situation quite well.
The beginning is fresh, fruity, and slightly sweet. Some component initially stands out as artificial but disappears quite quickly. Clearly recognizable is the sweet pear, which becomes a bit scratchy over time (a bit too ripe for my taste, but that's subjective).
The lily of the valley then adds a slightly more serious note. It is fresh, but not refreshing. Clean, but not washed. Sweet, but not cloying.
After half an hour, it becomes creamier and a bit silkier in the dry down. Probably the cashmere wood. I can't really detect cedar, but that's not a problem. The scent already tells its story.
It doesn't last well. It was about 4 hours on my skin. The sillage is also subtle.
This scent does not surprise. It is what it claims to be. A girl.
With a fashionable style, large hoops. Long hair tied up in a bun and a phone in hand for scrolling.
For me, it was just right for pedal boating, as the girl (deep down, we are all little reflections of ourselves in loud, cheeky, defiant, and childish ways) that I sometimes like to be, the scent said, "I am nice and won't hurt you." Conclusion:
A good beginner scent for young adolescents. Not expensive to buy and well made for that.
Sweet, fruity, creamy, fresh (not refreshing but clean), not intrusive and not loud. It doesn't last super long, but you can always reapply.
For adults like me (not really always, but by age then :-D), a lovely outing on the lake with peace, water, sun, and vacation.
Lake Constance... one of my favorite travel destinations! So diverse, almost Mediterranean, exciting as a tri-border area, and just incredibly beautiful landscape! And on top of that, a fragrance that speaks to the girl in all of us women. That's a truly wonderful combination! Cheers to the girl in us!
