Just re-discovered Dzing! after not having spritzed it on in almost 8 months.
(I often forget how much I love the powdery, vanilla-ish, rubber-coated notes in this much loved/much reviled L'Artisan gem.)
Although I'm wearing PdN's New York today, Dzing! will most likely be my SOTD tomorrow, and a far more frequent choice in the weeks and months to come. I discovered, too, my review of Dzing! from last November (i.e., when I first stumbled across it in a swap). Here it is:
"Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a fair princess.
One cold and foggy night, the princess walked around the castle walls wearing her brother's galoshes. Upon returning home, the fair princess doffed the galoshes and placed them in front of the fire.
She waited and she waited and she waited for the boots to finally get warm on the hearth. Once the galoshes were toasty, the princess walked over and smelled them to make certain they were thoroughly dry. They were, in fact, quite dry by now, but oh! how they stank of black rubber and leather. Well, the clever princess simply picked up a bottle of Worth's Je Reviens and poured its contents straight into those royal rain boots.
The smell that arose from her brother's galoshes was so completely annoying and yet so utterly intoxicating at the same time that the princess knew what she had to do. She called the royal perfumer in to duplicate this most bizarre of scents, and thus Dzing! was born.
The moral of this story is simple: don't pour Je Reviens into hot rubber and leather galoshes unless you want to smell Dzing!
(Fairy tales aside, I happen to love Dzing!, but it's much in the same way that I love Rob Zombie movies and gefilte fish. That is to say, I have to really be in the mood for it. Dzing! is Bulgari Black's somewhat cruel and very bohemian cousin, and he bears deep grudges against anyone who's ever worn Tommy.)"

Awesome fragrance!
