Ommm in the Department Store

To my husband's dismay, he had willingly agreed to accompany me to buy an autumn jacket.

Of course, he traversed the sales floor at his usual flying pace - and I gasped behind him.
Unfortunately, I lacked the breath to express my annoyance.

As he circled another shelf at Formula 1 speed, a lady boldly stepped in his way.
She looked the astonished man straight in the eyes, raised and lowered her hands, and let out a sonorous "Ommm."
Excuse me?
The hurried man was taken aback.
"Calm down - breathe," she replied calmly.
Ommmm!
I would have liked to kiss her.
But I composed myself, approached her, patted her upper arm - and raised my thumb in the air.

Then I strolled in slow motion to Zadig & Voltaire and enjoyed the promise that girls can do anything.
For example, stay calm - and savor the moment.

The soft, marzipan-like scent, flowing through the pear and warmed by orange blossom, supports me in this.
The gentle sweet vanilla gradually appears - as the entire fragrance takes its time.

It fades out powdery - with a resonant Ommm.

I don't want to do anything with this

I could already spray the new Z&V at Müller when this page wasn't even online yet. Well, what can I say: Reading the fragrance pyramid makes my heart soar. It's actually everything I like. Unfortunately, I only see this now, because the scent is not something I want to have on my shelf. The opening is fresh with pear and orange blossom. However, the development it goes through leaves much to be desired. The tonka bean feels skipped or it is already rotten. I can't explain the piercing notes any other way. Even when it reaches the base, I only smell a musty scent (is that the Ambroxan?) that reminds me of grandma's fragrances from earlier times. Such a shame, I would have liked it so much.

Harley Quinn Needs a Haircut

I have mentioned in other comments that whenever I smell a fragrance, I sometimes immediately have a movie role in mind.
Here too. :-)

First of all, the scent is an absolute bomb that overshadows everything and has an insane sillage.
I had to spray the fragrance twice; it starts off relatively strong, but harmless with the pear, orange blossom, and tonka bean, while the vanilla steadfastly holds the base, consistently. It comes across as sweet to me. Sooo... um... like the scent in a candy store. Fizzy powder, lollies, bubblegum, etc. But still somehow adult, yet also a bit girly, but in a way... vulgar?! Provocative?! Dangerous?!

Harley Quinn (do you know the movie "Suicide Squad"?! Great! *g*), in one of her fabulous bad-girl outfits, chewing gum or licking a lollipop (take your pick) definitely needs to go to the hairdresser. THEN the good little thing (whether Harley or the perfume ^^) shows its claws, and the hairspray note comes to the forefront. As if someone dipped the lollipop in hairspray. Thank you, Ambroxan. :-)
The fragrance is a little miracle in a room. It makes its presence known and needs space. Very Harley Quinn-like. ^^ Sillage is decent; after a few hours, it becomes close to the skin, but there's always a faint whiff of lollipop hairspray lingering...

The scent somehow doesn't let me go, as brash and rebellious as it comes across - somehow I like it!
This probably won’t be enough for a full bottle, but I will happily use the decant, albeit sparingly, otherwise there will be casualties. :-)

PS: Don’t worry, even though I’m somewhat fascinated by the scent, I haven’t married the Joker. :-D

Girls can do anything??... How unfair! :D

Hey hey, and once again I'm here bringing a new comment! Today it's about a fragrance that couldn't sound more unfair for men! "Girls Can Do Anything" by Zadig & Voltaire, a brand that I personally don't particularly appreciate because I generally don't like their scents.

So girls or women can do anything, right? That seems to actually be true.
An example? Well, the following things may be cliché, but they are also true! If a woman tells a man that he has gotten older, the man will at most just grunt. If the man tells a woman that she looks significantly older than before… *bam* There might just be a whole fist to the face! :D
The same could be said about weight: Men who gain weight don't like to hear it, but they can still handle it somewhat. If a man tells a woman that she has gained weight… *bam* There might just be a whole fist to the face!! :D
Yes, yes,… certain topics seem to be taboo topics, but apparently this only applies to us guys, as women can do and say everything, but we men cannot, argh :D

Well, there are indeed certain things one really shouldn't say to a woman, purely out of politeness, unless of course, you are somehow eager to see how women freak out and strangle you or something :D But aside from that, it seems that the following law generally applies:

Women can do ANYTHING! Men cannot do everything. … well, isn't that unfair? :D

For that, men would do ANYTHING for women! Because we guys are stupid idiots!
… that's just crazy! :DD Especially when you consider that women sometimes like to rip a guy's heart out and eat it raw (*gag* :D),… what monsters you all are! :DD But… apparently that's how it is, and one must live with the fact that you ladies can do everything, and we men cannot. That's just how it is, and it will never change.
*sigh*
Well then, let's talk about the fragrance!

The fragrance:

The fragrance starts with a strong, but also distinctly synthetic tonka bean, which, despite the synthetics, doesn't smell too bad. Along with the pear, there's a nice fruity touch. The scent is also powdery (mostly caused by the tonka bean), which always comes across pleasantly.
For a long time, the fragrance actually remains just as it started. Over time, you can smell the fruity component a bit better, which is a welcome change from the sweet notes that hardly change.
Towards the end, you then have two types of sweetness, namely the powdery sweetness from the tonka bean and also from the vanilla, and a slightly brighter sweetness coming from the amber. In the very end, it remains vanilla-like, which, to be fair, smells quite nice despite the synthetics.

The sillage and longevity:

The sillage is above average to strong, depending on the dosage. The good projection lasts longer, so the fragrance will be easily noticeable. The longevity is also very good and can be smelled on the skin for more than ten hours.

The bottle:

The bottle has the shape of common water bottles with a slightly thicker bottom and is filled with pink fragrance liquid. The bottle is surrounded by a simple white label. The cap is chrome-plated and patterned. All in all, it's okay, but nothing particularly beautiful.

Sooo,… first of all: This fragrance turned out better than most scents from this brand usually do (at least for me). This is Her! for example is significantly worse and more insignificant. This one at least gives off a nice, sweet scent that comes across quite well and could therefore be liked by some. It may have a bit more synthetic notes than other mainstream fragrances, but it’s not extremely disturbing. You can compare it well with the other, also somewhat successful Zadig & Voltaire fragrance, namely Girls Can Say Anything. Well,… maybe there are indeed some better fragrances from this brand than I thought…

Since the fragrance exudes a great sweetness, I think it's best worn in autumn and winter, especially for going out. I think that most older ladies (NO, I do NOT refer to you as old… baaah, it's so hard to bring up such a topic, no no, don't come too close with the fist, argh…) might not like it so much, as it seems a bit girly and might suit the… younger better… and yes, I will be quiet now! :DD

You can certainly test it, as it does smell quite nice, but it doesn't have to be a must.

Hmm… did I just call you ladies monsters again? Let's quickly read the beginning of the comment… hrhmrhmr,… yes… I really did. Not long now until the Frankfurt Parfumo meeting, maybe I should be a bit less cheeky until then, otherwise I might actually get beaten up or even eaten by the perfumes there…. aaaargh!

My Fragrance?!

Based on all the reviews and ratings, it seems to be a scent for young women and far too artificial.
I am in my mid-thirties and I really enjoy wearing the perfume. I get compliments about the scent every time! I've received more compliments on this fragrance than any other. Apparently, the fragrance notes harmonize very well with my skin.

I am surrounded by a sweet, creamy scent cloud that is perceived very well and positively by my surroundings....
I can clearly smell the tonka bean and also the vanilla. The musk always stays in the background for me.

Girly and fruity, but with a little Z&V twist. My go-to when I need something inoffensive and, well, girly.

The classic basic feminine daily scent, pleasant and light but quite banal. Not longlasting in comparison with the high price. Disappointed

Lou Lou's daughter and Twilly's distant aunt. Unconventional, free, and full of character. It's in the genes. I like this girl.

Girls can do anything, this scent has synthetic notes, fruit, sweetness, and Ambroxan. Modern and poppy, that's how girls smell these days. Not for me.
