And it made Zoom...
The older generations among us will certainly be familiar with the quote from the headline. Back in 1984, Klaus Lage belted out "a thousand times touched, a thousand times nothing happened" to the mullet-helmeted and permed audience.
But this won't be the ultimate retro chart show and there won't be any Oliver Geissen sitting on a semi-circular sofa.
But what is the author of these lines getting at?
Well, there are fragrances that you have to smell yourself into first. It's work!
Because they deliberately make it difficult. This is sometimes part of the courtship ritual of a new fragrance.
First one or two careful sprays on a strip of paper before carefully applying something to the back of your hand or wrist and then shuffling through the brightly lit aisles of a drugstore or perfumery, lost in thought.
Optionally, the scent is held under the partner's nose at regular intervals with the introductory words "What do you think?".
How does the fragrance develop? Do I like the top note? The heart? The base? Smell it again.
Or take a test strip home and ponder on the couch what occasion and weather the fragrance is suitable for?
All of this... i didn't have any of that with Ramz Lattafa (Silver).
It immediately went "zoom"!
Sprayed it on my hand, smelled it and I was immediately floating on a pleasant wave of fragrance.
Admittedly, I don't know the "original" that the Ramz Lattafa (Silver) is supposed to be based on. That's why I don't fall into the tried and tested "that note is missing" and "this note is different".
On its own, it is a beautiful, warm yet fresh fragrance with a slightly oriental twist.
The now tried and tested cocktail of pear, mint, bergamot and lavender is a wonderful aperitif that whets the appetite for the main course with a quartet of vanilla, amber, musk and patchouli, framed by cardamom and sage.
Is it something special? It is for me.
Sure, it's nothing "niche" and not every fragrance has to be for me. Because it's not every day that offers a reason to push a complex, unwieldy keyboard of fragrance compositions and accords in front of you that sends one half of your fellow human beings into ecstasy and the other into horror.
Sometimes it has to be something "simple". And I don't mean that in a negative sense.
In the end, I believe that Ramz Lattafa (Silver) and I will become very good friends and will "Zoom" even more often.
Finally, without giving it a second thought, I reordered 2 bottles on backup.
Because at a price of EUR 12 for 100 ml, you can't go wrong.
