Forever vulnerable: fragrance homage to Marilyn Monroe
A couple of days ago, I was having a café gourmand in the evening with a friend, that is, a cappuccino with two of these enchanting macarons. I had the kind of butterscotch - and was immediately in love. On the outside they were très chic, nude, the first bite was unexpectedly tender and crispy, the inside butter caramel cream much firmer and creamier than I had imagined. And so did I with "Messy sexy just rolled out of bed." According to the comments and statements here, when I sniffed at the bottling, I expected a "normal" gourmand, one of many I have tasted lately.
But this one I like exceptionally well. I find the top note alone very pleasant, not too sweet, with a very slight floral touch. The heart note, like the cream of the macaron, is the best part: it is exceptionally beautiful and smells as much like real caramel as a perfume can possibly smell. But here too, it is the soft butter caramel without roasting aromas that I notice and find absolutely delicious - just like in my Macaron. My other caramel scents, all three of which I love very much - Salt Caramel, Lait de Biscuit and Vanille de la Réunion, which has no pure vanilla note at all - have much more of this - admittedly also delicious - popcorn aroma, which, contrary to the perception of the other users, I don't even notice here. By the way, in my case it appears with all its force quite soon after the order and not only as a base note. So I could think I had described a completely different scent than here. In any case, it is fantastic and exactly the caramel scent I was looking for: soft, smooth, sweet and massively creamy.
By the way, I also like the images evoked by this fragrance: the image of a young woman, as one always sees her in the pyjama ad of a famous coffee merchant: delicate silk top with a thick, coarse cardigan and thick woollen socks, pensive and with hair still uncombed (out-of-bed-look!) holding a cup of latte and staring into a winter landscape. This comes very, very close to the impression of a just awakened Marilyn Monroe, this epitome of female vulnerability. The factual and yet very emotional flacon is also a perfect match. I especially like the picture with the sheet: this young Marilyn, just woken up, the smell of sleep that only young women can have, this natural sweetness, tenderness, vulnerability. That's what the musky part in the perfume does, I think, which gives it that physical component, while the often unloved cashmeran here does a lot for the creaminess of the fragrance.
To sum up: If I can believe the other statement writers, there was the advertising man who was much better at his job than the apparently unknown perfumer. Because I am completely taken with this performance and remember times when you had your mattress on the floor and a large black and white poster of Marilyn Monroe above it on the white wall, dozens of notepads above the desk in beautiful harmony with postcards, intelligent quotations and individual telephone numbers. In which one was dressed in a black blazer and tight jeans with high shoes - everyone who was dressed the same way knows that this time was not in this millennium. Young women nowadays tend to wear sneakers or dog martens with jeans and at the moment they prefer the old carrot pants from the vintage shop anyway. I can see this distant time in front of me for a few minutes when I smell "Messy sexy just rolled out of bed", and that is a wonderful feeling. By the way: My roommates here love it. So it will probably move in with me when the bottling is empty - and if it's just a reminiscence of old times. We're worth it
