Incognito
Dana (1992)

Incognito is deep, smoky, and animalic. To me, it's the '90s version of dark & rich seductress classics like Tabu or Lanvin's 'My Sin'. It's thick, heavy, and almost 'skunky' in its initial pungeant blast - which was, admittedly, quite offputting to me at first. But then the incense and resins start shining through after it has time to settle down on your skin a while.

Here, the florals aren't pretty or nice, they're dirty, real and earthy rather than synthetic, feminine, or fresh. It's an interesting name for a fragrance, too.. perhaps this is the scent to use to help transform you into someone more daring and confident. It's not at all meant for someone timid like myself!

For a "drugstore fragrance," this is actually quite nice. The topnotes are fruity, floral and aldehydes, which quickly move to a sweet ambery oriental blend. Sort of a cross between Chanel No. 5 and Tresor. It isn't super long-lasting, but since it's so sweet, that's a plus. Definitely better than you'd expect for the price.

Incognito was another of my high school fragrances. I guess anything from Cover Girl/Wal-Mart was! Incognito was nice, though I distictly remember that I always said it smelled like something "watered down".
