Dzing! (for women)

Leesee

An odd and oddly endearing perfume that, like the uber-serious boys I hopelessly yearned after most of my young life, seems somehow more substantial and worthwhile because of, not in spite of, its oddness. Whereas some reviewers liken the scent's opening notes to dung, I get a hallucinogenic triad of vanilla, novocaine, and band-aid. The drydown, rather than calling to mind hay as opined elsewhere, conjures for me osmotic impressions of high stacks of impossibly elegant stationery, or (even better) the rare books alcove of an old city library. Dzing!--the first oddball I have ever loved to finally love me back.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who had a unique experience with this one. It really does have an 'earthy' (!) scent at first (to put it delicately). I think rebella absolutely hit this fragrance on the head and I can't add anything to the great way she described it except to say I agree. I cannot stop myself from smelling my arm when I wear this fragrance especially the beautiful way it dries down. To try this, you have to be willing to give it a chance, maybe even two chances.

If you don't like a perfume you kind of have to 'work' with, it probably isn't for you but if you like complex scents, try it.Remember on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when a candy was created that tasted like everything from dessert to the main course etc? This is the perfume version I think!

I have realise that I have cravings for this fragrance. Now there is only a few drops left in my sample, but I eventually have to get me a full bottle of it. I still don´t really like it, but I kind of love it... Sounds weird I guess? It´s like sushi, when I eat it I can sit thinking "oh, I am eating raw fish, do I really like it?" but then after a while I still have to go and eat moore sushi. (Maybe I will do, on monday or tuesday...?)

Hmm. I'm struggling to wrap my head around a fragrance that smells like dung for an HOUR only to dry-down to some other kind of scent that smells... well, like a county fair mixture. :\ Not sure this would be appealing even if given to me free of charge. Oh well, in the world of perfumery...to each his own.

This is an odd fragrance. I kind of like it, even if it smell like I am surrounded by cows... (or elephants I imagine). If you can stand that odd smell of dung you notice that the leather in this fragrance is really nice, after a while, an hour or so, you can smell sawdust, cottoncandy, moore leather, something warm and spicy... All together a very well done fragrance, longlasting and unique. I think people either love it or hate it, I love it, but I am not sure I think it smells good!? It smells interesting, exciting, dirty and very weird (as mentioned above). Not an everyday fragarance, but something to put on once in a while when tired of nice, soft powdery florals and seductive but ordinary orientals.

i agree with aiona, this smells like dung for the first hour. dung and rubber....then you get the drydown which smells like sweet hay. odd. maybe it would smell better on someone with different chemistry.

Wow. This really does smell like dung. Just initially, though. But really. Honestly. The first hour, it smells like LEATHER and DUNG.

And then after an hour or so, you've stopped wading through the cow pens at the fair, and you've moved on to the food booths where it's all cotton candy and funnel cakes -- sandalwoody amber and vanilla.

What a weird fragrance.
