Mozart: who knew there were perfumes to thy name?

Salzburg in Austria is one of the most lovely towns in central Europe. Honestly. Picturesque, full of tradition, close to the Alps and also by a big lake, full of baroque architecture, it has moderate enough climate to welcome visitors any time. And it shows! Cosmopolitan and full of life, refined. Birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the set of the film The Sound of Music , it exploits the heritage of its classical composer like nothing else. Coffee shops, chocolates, little magnets, even paper napkins bear his name in a business that is overflowing. Salz means salt in German. So Salzburg is "city of salt". They used to export salt in Salzburg. Now they export Mozart...

It was in this context that I came across the line of Mozart perfumes. They are comprised of three offerings. Mozart Eau de toilette for ladies , Mozart Eau de toilette for men and Amadeus Eau de toilette for ladies. They were available in many shops and it made an impression to me that they were one of the first things when you entered the shop, sometimes even outside on a stall, tester bottles chained on a pole so that they wouldn't be stolen. The imagery was hilarious and common sense rolled into one. I expected to find a cheap scent, seeing it as touristic/novelty item. How wrong it is to presume things.....

Upon testing Mozart pour femme on my skin, I discovered a pleasant floral with an innocence and flair that reminded me of by-gones and perfumes that were popular for young ladies a couple of decades past. It was a very pleasant surprise. Actually it has the same character as Molinard de Molinard, even if it doesn't share the same smell. The hyacinth was the most predominant flower on my skin, imbuing the central classic bouquet of jasmine and rose with a narcotic feel. Green rushes of an unidentified kind were raising their head through all the flowery notes to be bedded down by the smooth plush of oakmoss, rendering this one quite lasting. After 5 hours I could still smell it on me, although I had only sprayed two moderate spritzes. And at no time did it intrude with my other occupations and sightseeing. It remained always the lady. The bottle needs some attending to, if they are ever thinking of going up-market with this one, because it does the juice a diservice.
