Grandma, I miss you very much...
First of all, the title of my review should not give the wrong impression. I don't want to imply that this is a "granny fragrance" or smells like an "older lady".
The perfume Olfactories - Marienbad has been calling me to test it for months. Part of my family comes from the Czech Republic, my father used to spend several summer vacations with his cousin near the spa town of Mariánské Lázně, I have also been there and have fond memories of it.
With the help and thanks of a dear perfumer, I was able to get my bottle in the post and immediately started testing it. And... started to cry. That's why I let a few days pass after the test before I decided to write a review.
With Olfactories - Marienbad I can see my grandma right in front of me. Freshly bathed, finely dressed, she puts on mascara and a soft red lipstick, straightens her bright red short curls, slips on her fur coat, takes her handbag, tugs at my quilted jacket until it fits "just right", gives me a "granny smack" and walks with me to the car so we can go shopping in the city.
The scent smells exactly like my freshly styled grandma. A delicate vanilla scent, subtly accented with incense. Slightly powdery, subtle, elegant. Later, the vanilla becomes slightly ambery, but never old-fashioned or granny-like. Don't misunderstand! It lasts forever, I applied 1 small spray on my wrist in the afternoon and still smelled it lightly the next morning. The sillage is subtle, but that's how it should be!
A feminine fragrance for a lady.
My grandma was a lady through and through. Although my grandma's signature fragrance was always Opium (1977) Parfum, this Prada scent smells like her. I can't explain it.
I wanted to buy Olfactories - Marienbad at first, but the fragrance makes me sad. I will keep the bottle, cherish it and when I want to be close to my grandma, I will wear it. I miss her.
