Basically I can sum up Tralala in a few notes... Musk, vanilla, BOOZE, and saffron. I'll just mention the saffron it has an odd sharp quality and is pungent but I love it in fragrances. Although it's not a major player in this one, you can detect it and it adds to overall opulence. Quite a theatrical bright, rough, almost gourmand opening which is pretty spectacular in truth and the whisky element is present straight away. A whisky note is not something I like in many fragrances I'll be honest but here in Tralala it's somehow exceptable. As it calms the fragrance becomes quite smooth and vanilla like almost like a milky drink with alcohol in...a white russian prehaps? (But far dirtier of course!) In fact I had a bourbon whiskey float cocktail a few weeks back and this reminded me heavily of the curdling combo of strong booze and ice cream which is not such a pleasant thing! So as Tralala rages on my skin it starts to become cloying and there's only so much I can take of the musky vanilla which does get a bit much after a while. It's a little more complex than I'm giving it credit for and after you get past the cloying faze and it really dies down it goes nice again, even a bit soft and leathery. So all in all an interesting fragrance and great longevity one of the stronger Penhaligon's I've come across. Tralala is an acquired taste maybe but so is the creepy dolls head stopper on the bottle. I wasn't familiar with Meadham & Kirchhoff's fashion house before but I get the picture with the style and this scent certainly ties in with the look of there clothes, bold and slightly eccentric!
