Papaaaaaa - please cuddle the Glubschi!
The first student exchange is an exciting thing, especially for a 13-year-old. Two days before departure, my daughter gave me a “Glubschi”* to cuddle at night so that it would smell like Dad during the week in France. So for the first time in nearly forty years, I slept with a stuffed animal in my arms again. It’s (unfortunately) not quite the same as it used to be, but how nice it is for Dad to still be needed like that. This won’t last much longer.
Without wanting to complain or ask for too much: I wish my (advice) regarding ‘Shirin’ had been equally sought after back then. The child already has good fragrances of her own and is even allowed to access various L’Artisans, Goutals, and TDCs at her mom’s. So why create something “created by the community”? After all, nothing else can systematically come out of that but some arbitrary average.
It brings tears to my eyes how my daughter, driven by her peer group, allows herself to be fooled and monetarily exploited by girls who have hardly outgrown childhood, like Dagi, Bibi, or Shirin. As a child, I was once mocked weekly with plastic junk from the YPS magazine - but there are worlds of difference in every respect! I wonder where the line between advertising and fraud against children actually lies.
Regarding the scent: It was to be expected that behind the plethora of fruity descriptions, there would simply be laboratory general fruit. In this case, however, their use can be considered a clever double-edged sword, as every member of the “community” can guess the desired fruit aroma from the chemical juice and feel included.
“White flowers” fits, especially orange. The so-called “chocolate accord” refers to sugary, scraping Eastern Bloc chocolate, like I know from ‘Modern Classic for Women’ by Brocard or from Pierre Guillaume’s ‘Musc Maori’. Basically, everything can be checked off here, and it certainly caters reliably to the influencer-dependent crowd. What is offered is perfectly fine for a fragrance priced at twenty euros for 30ml.
What the “community” likely did not explicitly order, however, is a hefty dose of dusty synthetic wood that sneaks into the chocolate-fruit mixture and competes with the two. It is precisely in that wood where I find the problem that ultimately drags the scent far below average. Because in my perception, the penetrating wood becomes increasingly unbearable with the growing number of (external) applications from my daughter, and by now, ‘Shirin David’ affects my airways just as much as its namesake does with the McNuggets. The only self-test didn’t change that either.
Conclusion: Unpleasant.
* “Glubschis” are stuffed animals that, with their abnormally large heads and eyes, enhance the baby schema into a manga-like grotesque; pictures can be found on the internet. It was once a kind of hype.
