Cologne Fragrance Scent
Dazzling
gold perfume
The
first time I became aware of the Dazzling gold perfume
was on a visit to Paris in the summer of 1999. It wasn't
because I caught the scent on a chic Parisian, or because
an eager sales associate apprehended me while passing
a perfume counter. We were strolling along the street
at dusk, window-shopping. And the Dazzling gold perfume
just jumped out at me like a crystal blue beacon, that
star-shaped bottle, lighted from above. It just looked
beautiful, so of course, it had to smell beautiful,
too. Within a few days, I had the chance to experience
the Dazzling gold perfume for myself with a department
store tester. A beautiful young blonde wearing a soft
blue sweater that matched the bottle told me all about
Dazzling gold perfume in her delightful accent. But
the light, sensual floral-Oriental scent surprised me
by being even more beautiful than the bottle promised.
I immediately bought a small spray bottle, and didn't
wait until I got back to the states to begin using it.
For the duration of the trip, I enjoyed it and reveled
in it.
When
I first saw it in Paris in 1999, the Dazzling gold perfume
was brand new to me. But I read that this scent has
been available since 1992. Maybe it just takes a very
long time to get to Omaha or even to the United States.
However, I had been told that you could find the Dazzling
gold perfume in large department stores like Macy's
and Lord & Taylor. Even so, I think it must have
taken some time to become mainstream, even in Europe.
The pale blue box with black accents seems to reflect
Thierry Mugler's signature colors. At the Galleries
Lafayette in Paris, where I bought my first bottle of
Dazzling gold perfume, I saw a whole Mugler clothing
department, which was done in the same shades. But looking
at the prices of the clothing, it's clear that a bottle
of Dazzling gold perfume is going to be the priciest
Mugler item I'll ever own. Before I left Paris, I bought
two more bottles of Dazzling gold perfume -- one at
the duty-free shop at DeGaulle Airport and another on
the Air France flight home. Not knowing where or how
to order it from the United States, I wanted to be sure
I had plenty, and that I got it at a reasonable price.
Even though I gave one bottle to my mother, the two
I had left lasted me for almost a year.
The
longevity may be attributed to the staying power of
the fragrance -- it lasts all day without being overwhelming
when you first apply it. The Dazzling gold perfume has
become my daily fragrance, replacing my other favorite,
YSL Champagne, which has been discontinued. And more
than any other fragrance I've worn, people (mostly women)
can identify Angel easily and comment on it warmly.
