Human Behaviour and the Snow Woman
Today I allow myself once again a time travel.
For nostalgic reasons, I've got the fragrance still stored in the back of the closet. The must have come to me so 2003 or 2004. From time to time I dig out the again. Wear I do him as good as never.
My impression was already then and is it here, that he is considered a little stepmotherly next to the icons of Lagerfeld's legacy ...
In this neon-colored bottle with the unspeakable rubber button, it seems more like one of those teen disco fragrances from the bottom shelf of a drugstore. Not only does it look like a wine hummingbird, it certainly smells like one. Unworthy of a Karl Lagerfeld. Well, actually, this was available rather cheaply, and probably in drugstores and department stores. Discontinued for some time. An artistic error?
I think not.
In the snowman contest, the Gilmore Girls built a snowwoman back in the day (quite emancipated and a bit rebellious), and Björk's "Human Behaviour" played in the background. Nowadays, yes, they're a bit histrion-annoying to me, but back then I thought they were feisty and full of life. The tangerine-rhubarb-opening is alert-cheerful, but not squeaky. I can't exactly smell either. Fruity, but unsweet. Also, the very long-lasting floral transition has a strong presence for me, but still doesn't make the whole thing ladylike-elegant to my senses. And not bouquet-floral either. I don't explicitly detect cherry. The scent had good staying power, as I recall, and at some point it transitions into a woody-soft, gentle musk note. Gets a coziness all its own, without even getting powdery.
Just like Björk's songs back in the day, there's something surprisingly unconventional about this fragrance. Like "Human Behaviour", I experienced it as it were uncomplicated (although it was not).
****!
I'm just noticing myself sniffing the test strip and oscillating linguistically back and forth between present and past in one sentence.
Unfortunately, the scent is now getting a sour note on my skin (change in skin chemistry? Or maybe THAT'S the rhubarb?!), which is why I can't wear it quite as well anymore.... tilted he seems to me but not.
I never bothered with the history and background of the composition and the master's ideas on this perfume. I repurchased it at the time a friend, on whom it smelled floral-woody-pleasant.
And he accompanied me through the end of my studies.
I find him suitable for everyday use, but not ordinary, unummsig, but very present - and well suited for warm winter and cool spring days.
The bottle fits the snow woman.

If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready to get confused
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behaviour
But yet so, yet so irresistible
