A modern floral masterpiece
There is one thing about this hobby and passion of ours; the discoveries are endless. We can sometimes feel a bit jaded, trying sample after sample, bottle after bottle, then occasionally there are these relatively unknown, almost hidden, special ones that we discover which feels almost like unearthing a secret diamond.
Created by Santiago Burgas Bou, Eau Dadette is inspired by Dadaism, an artistic movement that started around World War I, and its purpose was to ridicule the meaninglessness of the modern world. Dadaism influenced pop art, punk rock, and many artists including Salvador Dali. Bou has created a series of perfumes inspired by this particular modern art movement, and the third is Eau Dadette, dedicated to Juliette Roche, a French painter and writer who celebrated independent women capable of self-expression.
A tribute to unknown artists, Eau Dadette is unusual and unconventional, feminine leaning, with notes of heliotrope, Bulgarian rose, jasmine and raspberry, but it is hardly a pushover. Eau Dadette almost explodes in the opening, it is very bright and powerful and being an attar it is highly concentrated and only a few drops are needed. The florals and fruits are highly charged but seem to magically melt into the skin and retain a certain delicacy. Sandalwood, vetiver and incense give an underlying tone of assertiveness which also keeps this rather femme creation unisex.
Eau Dadette does not smell like anything I have ever tried but it does reflect Santiago Burgas Bou’s unique style if you are familiar with it. Eau Dadette makes a statement, it’s not subtle in character but it wears softly, powdery, especially in the dry down. The scent lasts many hours on my skin and I literally can’t stop sniffing it. I wore it 3 days in a row and had to force myself not to wear it a 4th. There is something truly special about this fragrance that I can’t quite put my finger on. But it lives up to the striking bottle that it comes in and that is saying something. This is a fragrance that should be talked about more. But then again, Santi Burgas should be talked about more in general in my opinion. I have been impressed by a number of creations from this house, especially the Palindrome collection, but for me, Eau Dadette is the masterpiece of Santi Burgas.
