The Storyteller
There is a wistfulness in perfumes that is inherent in their essence. They depart the moment they come to us. If their beauty is particularly great, they die long ago like the flowers in the vase. They take their leave into the air. Perhaps that is the melancholy I often feel here. We want to hold on to it.
When I first sprayed this scent on yesterday morning, I knew immediately that it wanted to refuse this tenderly beautiful sorrow. He communicated it from the first moment. A strange presence on the outside and a confusing satisfaction on the inside set in. I walked under trees, and he was there. I sat at my desk, and he was there. I stood at the supermarket checkout, and he was there. Dinner, brushing teeth, reading. Always presence. Scent beckoned to me, and sometimes he clicked his finger like he did in school when he had an urgent word to say.
It was a conquest of space, and on top of all that, there was another experience. It was an encounter with a hybrid being. For Casino Elixir 2.0 is not just one fragrance, but two. It crosses two familiar perfumes as the result of a laboratory opportunity. Aventus and Baccarat Rouge 540.You can literally see people in white coats smirking because they managed to confuse us.
First, there is this convex silver accord, which we know from Aventus. Quickly spreads iridescent the familiar Johannisbeerfougere with the brushstroke of a Third Hand Smoke, which hangs smokers*innen in the clothes. But you wouldn't believe it, more and more of this medicinal cotton candy from Baccarat Rouge creeps into the picture. And so you stand there in a sometimes interesting, sometimes confusing bipolar fragrance experience.
I immediately wondered if this was sophisticated or a horror clown out of a chemistry set. And I'm not entirely sure if this scent wasn't also responsible for waking me up at 2:49 am tonight. It was definitely there. I almost looked to see if there was a red balloon under the bed.
It's both a blessing and a curse with Dua fragrances that they gift us with their intrusiveness. What's interesting, though, is that they're so clear. They separate the colors in the paint box in a very controlled way. There's no brushing around that allows mixed tones to creep in (or even that weird watercolor brown we remember from kindergarten). The company's concept seems to be separation sharpness from the chromatograph. It's the digital high-resolution of familiar perfumes. A flawlessly reproduced image in which the contrasts and colors have been turned up. It's a bit like the Iphone when you turn the photo filters up too high.
At the same time, they don't skimp on fragrance. After all, it's not particularly expensive to pour a bigger dollop from the ingredient vat into the bottles, and surely that's part of the reason for the brand's success. One wonders at the same time, why the manufacturers of the originals are often so restrained.
Maybe it's because this calculating high dosage can also be oppressive. It's quickly too much of everything. A colorful neon sign. Is that what you want?
In the end, I learned something. As I was putting on a regular cologne after my shower today, it occurred to me. Maybe it's simple.
Restraint is smiling. Blowhards grin.

Beloved boredom
On a day in 1897, a man stands by a road and films a scene. You can find the colorized clip on Youtube. It is surprisingly tender images. We see grown people throwing snowballs. They bounce and throw, reaching exuberantly into the snow again and again,...
