Tristes Trussardi
In the 80s, the black Trussardi Uomo was one of my favorite fragrances. After that, I lost sight of the brand.
So it seemed like a good opportunity to rekindle the old, happy relationship with Trussardi Red, which I was given as a sample in a perfume store today. But what a disappointment: TR presents an indefinable scent bundle that ultimately feels conceptless, more along the lines of "What ingredients do we have left? What haven't we combined yet? Let's throw it together."
I have no idea which customer segments they were trying to target with this concoction; TR smells somewhat pleasant, but this kind of chemically-sounding mixture has been smelled so often (in one way or another) that one turns away in boredom. The most interesting part is still the fragrance pyramid, but where are the nutmeg, leather, and patchouli?
My old love seems to be lost for good.

Das ist leider häufig so, dass die einem vor langer Zeit lieb gewonnenen Düfte so nicht wiederzufinden sind, warum auch immer. Aber zumindest eine schöne Duft-Erinnerung bleibt.
