Daringly Different

after I spritzed "Daringly Different" on about an hour ago the perfume still lingers voluptuously around me. I would say the main scent I smell now is a refined rose, refined but incisive. it definitely is supported by other scents, more or less discernable but also offering a "holistic" image of sophistication, chic and luxe. perhaps there are more outspoken leather scents, oudh scents, iris scents (aqua di parma I find hugely dissatisfying). the point with these kind of perfumes, and I sampled the initial five 100ml. flacons, is ALSO precisely that you buy the name on the flacon, the exquise design of the "fiols" containing these elixirs, that in a moment I go to work and nobody in the nursinghome of 600 people knows who is/was Diana Vreeland. it gives a boost also to yourself and the expensiveness, ourageousness and over-the-topness is also precisely the appeal with which one wears such perfumes, it is the "Versace factor" contrary to the minimalist or posh niche-vibe. they are all lovely perfumes with a bit of the hegemonial ingredients which were the rigueur then, when DV ruled. still to achieve "Devastatingly Chic" from my nurses' salary and I feel whole again. so this is my point. the perfumes are high class too (in my opinion) but the advertisement is as infotainment as daring, exactly what DV stood for, and we inject our furniture with patchouli.
