Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better - or: Challenge for Mona
The title refers to a number from the Irving Berlin musical "Annie Get Your Gun". Now a piece of such harmlessness, that even a recording with Doris Day exists, certainly does not do justice to a vanilla scent like the one on hand. The only reason I even think of it is because I once saw a photo of Birgit Nilsson - the celebrated 'Brünnhilde' of her generation in her main job - and Franco Corelli, which showed the two after a joint 'Turandot'. It was inscribed: "After a Turandot duel: Anything you can sing, I can sing louder." The latter became a familiar word in connection with the Swedish artist's work in the Italian field. If you go to youtube.com/watch?v=6dJDrFphGkA, for example, you know what to do
From my previous testing activities, today's L'Artisan is the oldest candidate, which contrasts a massive, tangy vanilla with a truly worthy counterpart of cloves and varieties. Therefore, it seems to me that Bertrand "Corelli" Duchaufour has, so to speak, presented what a few years later would lead Mona "Nilsson" di Orio to a - perhaps exaggerated - summit with her vanilla. As if she had accepted a challenge, as it were.
Already the prelude of "Vanille Absolument" is quite grouchy for a vanilla scent. Daffodil stink fits at least as an image. With a tart citrus fruit that brushes against the cheesy feet; perhaps bergamot was omitted in the information. Old dried fruit. But above all, a furry, eugenoly anaesthetic note is noticeable, reminiscent of dentist and some throat pills.
A rough, spicy carpet, interwoven with restrained, yet concentrated, tangy, unfruity acidity (vetiver-green is probably involved) is meticulously careful not to let the vanilla become sweet and soon gets bitter-biting, subterranean tobacco to its aid. I also imagine a trace of Leukoplast-Elemi. Such a fragrance can really be called adult and unisex anyway. Strong announcement
It is a pity that from the late morning onwards the action drifts towards wax. In addition, from midday onwards there are also signs of a plastic amber vanilla. Nevertheless, it cannot be overestimated that its influence is successfully tamed until the end. A mixture of rough (vetiver?), resinous and creamy (somehow ambry) keeps a certain amount of tension until the end.
Conclusion: Successful. And sufficiently serious. For me at least, in retrospect, Mona's "I Can Do More Serious" would not have been necessary
I thank Yatagan for the rehearsal. It doesn't matter that the alleged head-notes rum was already gone - cheers! Because now I can give the tester to my son without hesitation, he likes vanilla scents.
