Diesel, the youth-oriented Italian fashion house, is not a brand I have any particular affinity for, but I really liked their 2011 fragrance Loverdose. When I reviewed it, I said it was not the stuff of genius, but it was great fun, and we all know that great fun is scarce on mainstream perfume counters.
The new flanker, Loverdose Tattoo, promised to amp up the (supposedly already formidable) sex appeal of the original, but instead, they’ve done just what the rice steam accord in the notes1 implied they might do: they’ve turned it into a comfort scent. Fine by me, decent comfort scents are nearly as scarce as great fun…
