  1. Sidonie: Playboy Generation! What a coincidence we ran into each other… Playboy Generation: Pardon? Do we know each other? S: Hey, I was told you look like Alada! (claps) PB G: And who is that? S: The fragrance we girls wore in the 80s and early 90s. One day the earth swallowed it and I was left devastated. Do you really look like her? PB G: Look, I think there’s a misunderstanding here… S: Come on, give me a whiff. PB G: A what???? S: That you let me smell you… PB G: (Huff) Pffffft… S: Oh wow, such a fresh and citrusy opening, just like my Alada. And you have sage, just like my Alada. PB G: You’re too fine… It’s not sage, it’s lavender. But look, it’s just that… S: Shh, you’re distracting me. Spices, there are spices here too, but I sense you a bit sweeter. Hey, aren’t you wearing pineapple? I don’t dislike it, okay?, but don’t go acting like a Vanderbilt, because if you kick, a hundred come out. PB G: Yes, it’s pineapple, but listen… S: Oh, the leatherooooo… You’re wearing leather just like my Alada! But how much you resemble her! Citrusy and woody, innocent but a little naughty. That said, I sense you’re a bit testosterone-heavy. Could it be there’s not enough flower? Something has been done to you… PB G: (Second huff) It must be the tonka bean… S: I don’t care, you’re adorable, just like her. PB G: Don’t get sappy and listen once and for all, I… S: It’s like being with her again. That said, let it be clear: there will never be another like her. PB G: (Third huff) Thanks for the part that’s mine. Should I take that as a compliment? S: Of course, I really like you. PB G: Well, I’m sorry to say that… S: I’ve crossed oceans of time to find you!!!!! PB G: ENOUGH!!!! I’m trying to tell you there’s a problem. S: A problem? Which one? PB G: I’M A MAN!!!!! S: Well, nobody is perfect. PB G: So you’re going to use me then??? S: Of course, I already told you I really like you. PB G: Go ahead, pretty one… NOTE: This ridiculously dramatized comparison between Alada and Playboy Generation for Him is based on the olfactory pyramids published on Fragrantica, on the scarce aroma that remained on a sample wipe of Alada that I sacrificed for the occasion, and on the distant but still vivid memory I have of it. I can say they are not identical, but the resemblance between them is very notable. I found Playboy Generation for Him at Makeup at a ridiculous price and it’s currently out of stock, but I suppose they will restock it. As a men’s fragrance, and from a female perspective, I think it’s delightful.

    It’s a fresh fragrance with very prominent notes, highlighting its pineapple and fruity top notes. The middle notes achieve good projection, leaning sweet but with a dry contrasting touch. The base is a bit darker. It’s very wearable for every day and has its own personality. The price-quality ratio is compensated; you can find it between 5 and 12 euros, also in a box with a 100 ml perfume, a 24-hour deodorant spray, and shower gel.
