When I first read that edding was launching a fragrance at the repeated request of fans, I was quite surprised. The company's foray into the beauty industry with edding L.A.Q.U.E had failed. But the desire of the loyal edding fan community was apparently so great that a small step back into this area was taken.
One must give credit to the staff responsible for edding's social media presence. They have done a great job on TikTok this year. First, there were repeated hints in comments that an edding perfume might be possible. Then came the announcement that one could apply to be a tester. Later, the name of the creation was revealed, and finally, the launch date in their own fan merchandise shop was announced. A discount for quick decision-makers and the limited edition sealed the deal for eager customers.
I, too, had to have this little fragrance. I ordered it immediately, and in no time, the fever dream of generations of edding lovers was delivered.
But is the scent also successful?
Much better than expected! The testers did not succumb to the temptation of selecting a creation that only smells like edding. It is truly a wearable fragrance composition. First comes a freshness without citrus, then dark wood, and finally a resinous sweetness. Over it all lies a hint of the familiar scent of the solvents from the edding markers. The longevity on my skin is very good.
The fragrance does not need to hide behind modern niche creations. The bottle is beautifully iconic. The price-performance ratio is brilliant. Let's see if this was really just a brief visit from edding in the realm of fragrances. It was definitely well-made advertising.
When I saw the scent, I couldn't believe my eyes, what 😆? This is really niche. Tomorrow I'm going to sniff my Eddig to see what kind of scent is in there 😵💫
... You can find it in any stationery store and some supermarkets. If you have the pen, you can skip the perfume - but be careful with the inhalation dose ;-)
Of course, it's already sold out.
