MANHATTEN LIGHT - supposedly for women only?
Massimo Duti - as can be read, founded in 1985!
But it is not a fashion brand behind which a natural person stands or stood, as once Karl Lagerfeld, Yves St. Laurent or Óscar de la Renta, or today Joop.
No, Massimo Dutti is just the name of a fashion chain, such as C & A, Zara or H & M.
But just a little more elegant, both from the design the stores, as well as from the design of the clothes.
And this chain offers - 1991 of the fashion distribution giant Inditex taken over - also own perfumes. These can be bought in Spain sometimes also in perfumeries, but not in Germany.
Here one finds the perfumes only - and thus exclusively - in Massimo Dutti boutiques, which are opened for some time also in Germany like e.g. in Frankfurt/M., Mannheim or Baden-Baden, in order to call only some locations.
Earlier, that is until 2009, the fragrances of Massimo Dutti were produced and marketed by the Spanish perfume and fashion giant Puig.
Meanwhile, however, no longer - current manufacturer unknown.
But it can be assumed that the Spanish parent company INDITEX to which also ZARA and Bull & Bear, just like Massimo Dutti belong - and which all have their own perfume lines - these are now produced at its own perfume production site, but which is unknown.
And here now the comment on MANHATTEN LIGHT, the fragrance that I have not too long ago, acquired in Mannheim.
I had noticed the bottle especially because of the name - Manhatten Light!
Immediately I was enlightened by the employee of the Massimo Dutti boutique about the fact that on the left side of the perfume-diplay the women's fragrances would stand and separated by a small divider, right the men's fragrances.
After paper strip test sprays of various other fragrances of this Collection, I finally decided for yet for Manhatten Light. The biggest surprise for me was then the price.
Discounted by Corona VAT reduction, the price for this 100 ml eau de parfum was only just under € 49!
With great anticipation home unpacked the perfume. Particularly striking the high-quality packaging in the form of a white-colored sturdy cassette, so no dinky cardboard box with the usual "lid-on-mechanism". And as an additional feature, a high-quality small white cloth bag, where the bottle can be purely put, for example, when traveling, as a Separatschutz.
The fragrance itself opens with a subtle fresh bergamot note. In my opinion, it is a light, very fresh fragrance, which one can generally describe as floral-fresh. You have to use all your senses to recognize the fragrance components that are still to come. Massimo Dutti gives there not much price in the form of a fragrance pyramid, as is usus with most other perfume manufacturers.
After some time joins in broad form, the peony to it, which however does not remain alone, because as a socius a kind of vetiver is quite easily there. This whole then runs a little linear, until after some time, as the last component - also discreet - musk, rounds off the perfume final.
All in all, a very, very elegant-quiet fragrance composition whereby I do not understand why this eau de parfum is declared as a "women's fragrance" and not as a unisex fragrance, because for men - in my opinion - also perfectly suitable!
A perfume which has excellently passed in the outgoing extreme summer 2020, his fragrance trial by fire with me!
SUPPLEMENT of 16 October 2022
Unfortunately, it is so that I had to determine, during my recent visits to Mannheim and Baden-Baden, that the local boutiques of MASSIMO DUTTI, no longer exist.
May it be due to the Corona negative, or the not so high profile of this Spanish fashion chain, I can not say it ....
