Uninspired floral-fruity something

If you expect Dramione and get film-Hinny:
Blood-red packaging, made of velvet, not so fine
Courage promises you to be something strong
Under the surface - please forgive -
There is hardly more than superficiality
Go to the basement and get a jar of pickled berries
You might want to consume it sweetened right away
Uneven notes of red sour fruits waft around you
The tea is cold
You leave the house
Magic is a kingdom where no one dies
Pick a few roses by the roadside
They prick you lightly in your hand
You smell well-groomed, you smell quite pleasant
Uninspired
Neither the wizard nor the show
The magic in between
Gryffindor goes elsewhere
The magic is an illusion
Doesn't get you to your goal
And yet magic is a kingdom where no one dies.

Top tier will probably not come from this work, yet the cash cow No. 7695431 of the Wizarding World makes its friendly tones known. If it didn't say Harry Potter on it, one would expect the red velvet packaging among the discount items of German drugstores, but no. Harry Potter fans have money - and are willing to spend it.
Bravery is sought in vain here, they rely on an all-around popular fruity-floral with corresponding sweetness, following the motto 'if it doesn't taste good, it just hasn't been sweetened enough.' The first impression of pricking disharmony fades quite quickly - by the way, it fleetingly reminds one of the pink one from Bruno Banani Pure Woman Eau de Parfum - and what remains is a well-groomed hint of generic something. A little rose here, a bit more sugar there. Vanilla? Pah, who needs vanilla, tralalalala.
Here, mainly the name is paid for - and for the packaging, because it is indeed quite elaborate and sweetly done, like a bro from Felix Felicis (with a different cap) and its coloring screams Gryffindor's princess, Manacled-Hermione with a dragon as a Patronus.
By the way (addendum): The bottle looks SUSPICIOUSLY like the one from a scene in the first few minutes of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,' when Albus Dumbledore stands in front of an advertisement for the Muggle perfume 'Magic Divine.' At least someone did their homework on the bottle design, but unfortunately only there.
And in the end, you get Ginny, who tries to stuff cookies into her crush's mouth while her brother sits next to her, or ties his shoes. Because the Chosen One is perhaps more of a Velcro type.
At least this relationship lasts. In this case, a whole day.

Inspiration and references today came from SenLinYu (Mancled) and Edna St. Vincent Millay (Childhood is the Kingdom where nobody dies) - because if Tshajbukoshka were really honest, she would admit that Tom Felton will probably be over Harry Potter long before her, if we ever see that day.

It's a shame when marketing people develop concepts they don't understand.

That's really bad... what a shame. I did a blind test with my daughter, a hardcore Harry Potter fan... she thought it was dreadful.

Yes, the potential would have been worth an 'unmatched' experience, even if it were only half as great as the packaging. It hurt a bit. But maybe HP fans should just take their own perfume and stick a few labels on it to spare themselves the disappointment.

Just sniffed all the bottles in the R. - I found one worse than the other - so: great, fair review.

When I was there last week, they didn't have everything yet, but today I walked past the other supposed women's perfume and thought to myself, I really didn't miss anything :').

The bottle is pretty, but the content is rather disappointing. My school friend was a Velcro type, big as a bear and with a heart of gold.

"The Chosen One might be more of a Velcro type" - wow! I think you were fair about it.

That seems like a pretty half-hearted costume. Like drawing a lightning scar on your forehead and going as the Chosen One. Just don't forget the Velcro shoes!
