Old love
I know you! Back then, when I was barely over twenty and doing my first internship, I met you for the first time. And I fell in love. A very dear, slightly older employee of the company where I took my very first professional steps was carrying you. She sat opposite me, which is why you were always near me. Many women in this company loved you and liked to linger for a while with the nice lady, where there was usually a cup of tea or cappuccino. You fit that bill perfectly. I would have liked to have a liaison with you, but unfortunately my partner had something against it. You should be intrusive, much too sweet and too strong. Therefore, it was nothing with us. But yes, I still love you very much.
We are talking about Bogner Woman No. 9, which this fine Ambre Sublime by Stendhal for my nose is very similar. While the Bogner has a fairly manageable fragrance pyramid, you can hardly get to the end of the Stendhal once you've started looking at the notes. But there are nevertheless parallels, which is why this does not seem so far-fetched that I have to think here of Woman No. 1, which is unfortunately long gone from the market.
The fragrance starts citrusy, as does Bogner. Bergamot have the two also in common. Then relatively quickly sweet flowers take up speed. Here we have mainly rose and ylang-ylang, in the Bogner it is jasmine, but also some rose, which give the fragrance a floral touch. You don't have to wait long for the basic sweetness on which this beds down on either. For my nose, it's a mix of amber and vanilla in both fragrances, and not in short supply. This is also true of the Bogner, but you won't find this note in the Stendhal, even though it has amber in its name. My guess is Banzoe, which leaves this impression on me. We also have vanilla and plenty of tonka bean, which gives the fragrance a sweet and consistently warm touch. The note fits wonderfully into the basic sweet concept here.
So far, so good. But unfortunately, despite all the beauty and various similarities with Woman No. 1, we have here a teeny tiny but that there is called Cashmeran. This note makes the Standhal unfortunately a whole corner duller than the Bogner. I don't think it would have been necessary here and, for me at least, it causes a deduction in the B grade. As is usually the case with Cashmeran, it is only noticeable to the wearer. For the outside world, this dull note, which unfortunately often makes me think of pressboard, is rather lost. In any case, the fragrance would annoy me as a wearer in the long run, which is why it is not a purchase candidate for me. Who has no problems with Cashmeran, however, and mourns the Woman No. 1 from time to time: Take a look at this fine amber once. It could be worth it!
Many thanks to Floyd for the testing opportunity.
