Unformally formal
Sometimes I like to experience something new, nose-wise. I have the perfect place to go for such a trip: my decant box. A place for surprises and disappointments. Luckily, mostly the former.
This time I found Anne Klein’s Blazer, a scent from 1976 so I was prepared for anything. I was not disappointed at all.
It starts out a bit sharp but the sharpness disappears very quickly and you jump into a full bowl of flowers, which sweetens more and more throughout the next hours. This is a very constant fragrance, not changing or developing a lot apart from the marigold appearing after an hour. Not my favourite note and it spoils the experience a bit but not enough to ruin it. The overall impression is a nice, warm scent staying close to your body - longevity is at least ten hours. If I should make a comparison it would be Estée Lauder’s ‘Beautiful’.
The bottle is very 70-ish. The thing I notice, though, is that I really like the font on the box and the bottle. I suppose it looked modern and untraditional at that time. Looking at the ad you would think that this is a formal scent, but I think it is both playful and relaxed.
I will definitely return to this gem again.
