I have always wanted to go to South Africa, and since that is not so easily possible at the moment, I decided on a mental journey: literarily with Zakes Mda, musically with Miriam Makeba, and olfactorily with "Click Song".
The latter is sung at weddings to wish the couple happiness. The content primarily revolves around a beetle that makes click sounds and, of course, has symbolic meaning. If the eponymous perfume is to be worn at weddings, then only by a bride who also enjoys being in the spotlight outside of the wedding. The sillage lasts for a very long time, at least for me, quite well.
I have to search for the bergamot; the rose is clearly in the foreground. Loud and spicy. I like roses, I like rose scents, I like spices. I also like this rose, aside from a small but penetrating detail. Here it comes with a sour undertone. Maybe it's the patchouli, although I have smelled that softer and better before. The sour aftertaste fades only very slowly, unfortunately. The rose underneath only fully reveals its unbothered splendor after about 4 hours. From then on, I also prefer to sniff at my wrist again.
Fortunately, the scent lasts a whole day (in my case, 11 hours). This allows me to warm up to Click Song a little more. Especially because in the last hours, an incredibly beautiful, woody vanilla takes over. If the fragrance were only made up of the base note, I would bathe in it (a little tip for vanilla lovers).
The limitation to female wearers in my little review is intentional. I can't really imagine "Click Song" on men. However, feel free to enlighten me otherwise; I am usually not narrow-minded.
For my mental journey, the scent fits quite well. I will not add it to my collection. But it is definitely worth a test!
Oh, auf den bin ich ja neugierig. Von der Marke gefällt mir einiges. Danke für die ausführliche Rezension! :)
Das Säuerliche gibt mir etwas zu denken, weil sich sowas bei mir oft entwickelt - allerdings eher bei Jasmin oder Labdanum als bei Patchouli. Labdanum ist ja auch drin... Testen werd ich ihn trotzdem bei der nächstbesten Gelegenheit.
(Wo hast du den denn testen können? Auf der Webseite des Herstellers ist der immer noch nicht zu finden.)
