Pink with bows
Orange blossom and jasmine, vanilla and white musk. Mm. A pretty fragrance pyramid that is. That's why I was very happy when dear Susan sent me this new fragrance from 1907, which she didn't like at all. I think it's actually quite nice. Actually. But in turn.
Even at the first careful sniff of the spray head sent me a brain signal that it has smelled this before. Sure, orange blossom, I thought to myself. I usually really like orange blossom in fragrance, as long as it doesn't present itself too campy. A bit sultry this one is, was thought #2 after I sprayed the scent. Again, it rang. APOM Homme resonates a bit here, which was a bit too much for me, but in principle not wrong.
It took me a while to jog my memory. But it did something after the rather fresh and delicate prelude from Hesperides, which I find very nice by the way, had settled. As soon as the fragrance shows me its ostensibly floral face, I have the memory then clearly before my eyes.
As some of you know, Parfumo is not my first internet community that is all about perfume and fragrances. I was on another platform until around 2013, but on which perfume played a rather minor role. Still, there were fans and fragrance professionals galore. And when the US cosmetics company Benefit launched its first fragrance, Maybe Baby, in 2003, the hype was correspondingly huge. At the time, I still lived in a big city and was therefore able to test this newcomer myself very quickly. Honestly? I was pretty disappointed. After all the praise, such a flowery little-girl scent? I felt too old for that at the time. Nope, I don't want to smell that pink with bows. So checked off.
Now I look at the Maybe Baby again and check the notes of the newcomer Whittoria in parallel. Funnily enough, the two have except for the musk no similarities at all and I admit that I also do not remember so exactly whether Maybe Baby, which here is one of the very big flops, such as Boris Becker in the men, smelled like orange blossom. Still, Whittoria reminds me immediately of Maybe Baby. I see unicorns, pink sparkly dresses, in fact everything that would appeal to sweet little Agnes from the Despicable Me movies. American little girl dream in fragrance form.
Olfactorically, this is certainly not badly done and therefore I even give it an 8. No synthetic-wooden-hammer, as for example with Delina or BR 540, which surprises me absolutely positively in such a modern fragrance. You just have to like this floral sweet scent, which I might on a scented pen or candle, but not necessarily on myself. I'm definitely not that cute, chicken or no chicken. Hihi.
So, I hope you guys now have a rough idea of what this one smells like. And if you liked Maybe Baby or are APOM fans too, give this one a try. I find it intriguing that this scent is supposed to be particularly appealing to men. Boys I'll put up with, because for girls up to 14 or 15 and those who want to feel like that, you can let it pass. Späßle ;)
Dear thanks to Susan for the test opportunity.
