The face of the advertising campaign is Gaia Trussardi personally. She was the head designer of the house. The promotional video was shot by director Gabriele Salvatores.
I guess this is a fragrance nobody minds at all. It fits in with many people's idea of "niceness" in a fragrance, clean and clear, just a very vague hint of a scent. No seduction, no party, no unexpected turns, no classic "Italian" style. This newcomer doesn't rock the boat. It smells of pretty white flowers and a base of ambroxan and vanilla which harmonise beautifully. If you hate powerhouse perfumes and bold statements "My Name" could be a nice fragrance for you.
What I love about this site and my blind purchases that are based on reviews here? They expose me to frags that would otherwise not even come up on my radar. And lately I just have luck with my blind purchases. So I ordered My Name, and boy am I glad I did. This is way better than I anticipated based on the notes listed here and the reviews. It is sweet indeed, but in a very light way, yet not the fleeting kind of tenderness. This could become my new casual day time fragrance. It will not bump my favorite day time beauty Jil Sander Sun off as my signature fragrance, but it is more wearable day in day out than Sun, which for me is more a leisure time scent. My Name is not too intense for a day at the office, but still it has a happy leisure time vibe to it. Most of the frags I use for work are more on the nice but boring side (like L'air du Temps), as I want to be safe and not being offensive. This fits so much better to me and my personality. I love it, and even though I consider Jil Sander Sun as my signature fragrance, I am sure I am going to wear My Name a lot more than my all time beauty this summer, because there are more opportunities for it. It smells a bit like a nice hand lotion. It is truly lovely.
I had thought on the basis of the descriptions, here and the ingredients, that he could be the holy grail for me...read again and again about him, no perfumery in my city seemed to lead him...searched for weeks...yesterday then, without further ado, I took the path to the one perfumery, which I had forgotten, a bottle was there and the tester too. was tense, but also, a little afraid because of the possible marzipan note that someone here described.first spray, briefly thought...yaa powdery, fresh creamy jooo...and then she came, the marzipan note and a worming that knocked me, the day over, and then to, aversion and nausea, headache led this morning I got again nauseous.when I got yesterday's T-shirt to the nose. Now I'm, uh, reassured. I don't need it at all and how quickly the head wants something without knowing whether it's good for you. I don't want to take anyone's joy out of him...but I never want him back in my nose but never ever again
Today we will of course continue with door number 7 and behind it is this great fragrance: My Name by Trussardi.
I have owned a 100 milliliter bottle of this eau de parfum for a long time, which really makes a noble and high-quality impression, decorated with the golden Trussardi logo and fits equally well in the hand. Only, until today, I haven't understood what the silicone-like, net-covered lid is supposed to represent. A shower sponge maybe? Or a hand flatterer? You could maybe use it as a stress-reduction ball, ok, let's leave it at that.
The beautiful Gaia Trussardi, chief designer in the Italian family business and fashion group of the same name, which started out as a glove manufacturer sometime in the 70s, gracefully adorns the advertising campaign. How fitting, because the fragrance seems just as graceful to me. The main protagonists here are violet, lilac and heliotrope. A powdery floral heart blossoms over a delicate almond base. A fragrance that I wear almost exclusively in winter. It reminds me with its lightness, always of loose powder snow and delicate ice crystals. It is not a fragrance for the big entrance, it does not scream, does not attract attention with all its might and that is exactly what I love about it. He never seems inappropriate or even unpleasant to me, no matter what the mood. In its unagitated simplicity it is a very special lilac scent, which every lover of this fragrance should have tested once. However, you have to like this mandelicacy to wear it. But then you get a fragrance that suits every time of day and mood, that works well in everyday life, in leisure time and also as a cuddly scent.
The content of my bottle is slowly diminishing, but I am sure that I will invest in another bottle, because, the price-performance ratio is simply unbeatable here and it does not always have to be a niche if you want to smell completely different from all the others.
Whereby I just noticed that if I had to compare it with another fragrance from my collection, it has a similar scent character to Kenzo - Amour.
...because I won't tell you that easily.
First impression counts, you say? You think I'm a naive little flower who's never had anything bad happen to him, who wants to please everyone and has no mischief in his head. But I'm deeper than you think. Come here, sit with me in the green meadow. Right there under the bright lilac, I will show you my soul quietly and gently yet with full presence. Wait a while and listen to the wind blowing gently through the leaves. How old do you think this tree is? Many summers and many winters he has seen come and go. He had had to shake off many leaves, blossoms and branches in order to recreate himself, yes, to survive. Many animals visited him, some only briefly, others longer and a few remained a life. What didn't kill him made him stronger to become what you see now. When you have something on your mind, he will gently help you. If you're happy, he's happy with you. Over the years he has found his balance, gained patience and wisdom. He gives in to the wind instead of fighting it. He knows exactly what he wants, but he's waiting for the right moment. Then he will succeed. You don't want to like him. You feel naturally safe with him. He powders you, shows you your inner strength, the inner peace that even on stormy days lives deep inside you. A serene serenity, independent of situation and place. He accepts you as you are and loves you as well, regardless of whether you love him or not. So am I. Now let it work on you for a while and when you are ready, give me your hand, I go with you and carry your name. For I am your true nature.
