This little soundtrack from Sesame Street has been playing in my head since I applied "Dudù." At first, I thought it was just another rich vanilla-heliotrope scent. I had already added it to my wishlist because of the frangipani. But I have quite a few on there. And I don’t revise them very often. This fragrance would have remained my wish fragrance until I finally had it under my nose and: Voilà! Thanks to Angua, I now have "Dudù" around me and on my tongue.
However, since I applied it first, I didn't have frangipani on my radar anymore.
But I still smelled a lot. And I like this abundance, even if I would never want to wear "Dudù" anywhere other than at home and as a bedtime treat.
At first, everything smelled just of vanilla, spices, and I thought heliotrope was also playing a part. Then, a little while later, I remembered not only the scents from Etro, "Heliotrop," but also from Cleef & Arpels "Collection Extraordinaire - Orchidée-Vanille," as well as the Trio Loukhoum scents from Keiko Mecherie. I also thought I could detect hawthorn. Almond and the scent and yes, the taste of manna, this tree nectar used in Persian Shervin Ghaz, with rose water. I also thought of Callison, the deliciously sweet almond dragees from France.
I was completely amazed that frangipani is in the forefront here.
I have never smelled real frangipani flowers. But I have smelled fragrances where it stood out, like the room diffuser scent that spread a wonderful floral aroma in our living room some time ago: this frangipani scent that I cannot describe or compare with other floral scents I know.
No, "Dudù" does not smell like that to me at all over many hours. But now, after many hours and after "Dudù" has softened - and especially now that I "know" that frangipani is involved - I also smell a gentle frangipani note, which, however, cannot really assert itself against the other fragrance notes.
How much of this is suggestion for me?
Because one thing I feel with "Dudù": I cannot quite distinguish whether I am smelling or tasting this deliciousness, it is so intense.
I would give it 100%. But it is not a fragrance that you can wear anytime and anywhere. It is indeed a fragrance bomb, but a very tasty one.
I've generally liked the scents from Zeromolecule, but they're just not candidates for me to buy. However, I skipped this one as it seemed like a pure women's fragrance.
Nope, I didn't know that, but: so what? My kids liked it and often sing it, haha! Well, those porn film people missed out on some fat royalties, didn't they?
