8Scent 10Longevity 10Sillage

Mannamanna, babdibidibbi

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.

Somehow, I now have an irresistible craving for cake, and I need to do something about that earworm too. :)

I’m not exactly sure how Frangipani smells, but from your description, it sounds quite enticing.

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?
