Yes, I realise that almost every word out of my mouth includes the word “cheap” or “plastic,” but you have simply no idea how terrible Dzing smells. I wouldn’t object to a well-executed gourmand take on the smells of a circus, but the sheer deluge of cheap plastic and synthetics goes too far. I’m taken back to Tijuana, Mexico, and one of the cheap, tourist shops which sell tiny, plastic dolls, plastic shoes, and every possible hodge-podge of plastic tchotchkes. As the moments pass, the cheap Chinese, mass-produced, pink plastic note rises in prominence, as does the vanilla and the overall shrill cacophony of fakeness. This may be absolutely one of the worst things I’ve smelled in a while. Barnum with a plan for world domination through olfactory torture. It’s as if the Mad Scientist infected the body of P.T.

The most complete list of notes for Dzing! (which I shall call “Dzing” for the sake of convenience) comes from Fragrantica which mentions: The circus as conceived by L’Artisan Parfumeur, comforting but contrasted with the occasional roar tearing through the night. Everything is there, the scent of saddle leather as pretty girls on horses canter by, sawdust, the rosin on the acrobats’ hands as they arc through the air, black panther fur, fire-eaters and gasoline, the vintage canvas overhead, the caramel scent of candyfloss and toffee apples. Everything is soft hued and slow moving, sights and sounds rolling by in the Big Top. This shockingly unique fragrance, created by Olivia Giacobetti, Dzing! is a magical evocation of a circus of dreams and imagination. The woody scent was launched in 1999 and created by the highly respected perfumer, Olivia Giacobetti. As always, my Reviews en Bref are for perfumes that - for whatever reason - didn’t seem to warrant a full, exhaustive, detailed analysis.ĭzing! is an eau de toilette fragrance from L’Artisan Parfumeur which seeks to evoke the circus.
