Great on a Tester, but Changes on Skin

It's the end of November and down here in the Southern US we're still having days in the 80°s. All I want is to feel fresh and airy.

On cotton, this totally fits the bill. The top notes are fruity and refreshing, if a little punchy, and aquatic. On my skin it quickly warms up to something more autumnal. I think it's the violet leaf and sandalwood. If autumn was an actual season down here, I'd have no compunctions with keeping this in my collection. As an aquatic freshie, I'd rather have Turquatic

Love the look of the bottle and the cap. It's quite satisfying how the cap snaps back into place, but also surprisingly loud.

Fresh produce from lush farm gardens!

It really does smell very richly of all kinds of fruit, flowers and fine woods. Just as I can imagine it in lushly planted farm gardens in late summer / early fall.
There are fresh, ripe cucumbers, apples that are about to be harvested, a pond where the water lilies are in bloom, plenty of roses - some climbing up trellises and others standing as shrubs between the beds, framed by lavender for natural "aphid protection".
"Musk mallows" are just as important as "sleeping violets", which only let their sweetly scented leaves peek out from between the ivy. Older trees provide shade and a little cooling in hot weather. At the back, next to a wooden garden shed, a slightly gnarled jasmine bush on either side makes every effort to spread its green-floral, delicately sweet fragrance. I like to linger on a garden bench and enjoy the olfactory, visual and acoustic scenery!
Truly a powerful, long-lasting fragrance that is hearty AND sweet--without going over the top :-))

Enemies at first sight

Oh oh, me and this fragrance are a disaster from start to finish. It was wild, stormy and definitely an adventure.

It was in full size in my (purchased) advent calendar. This seemed very generous to me and I wanted to try out what came flying into my house right away. Being inexperienced, I read up on the brand. An article informed me that 4711 is not actually a perfume in the strict sense and is therefore not trendy or out of trend, as it stands on its own. I was promised an attack on the senses. And that's what I got.

So be it. No one has ever called me a coward, so I treated myself to two sprays on my forearm. The internet hadn't promised me too much. Even when I remember it, I can smell it again. Fresh like cleaning products, aquatic like the heavily chlorinated hotel pool and citrusy like the cookies with 10 times the suggested amount of lemon.

It was a force of fragrance that overwhelmed me immediately. It really isn't subtle. But let me tell you, I tried. Of course, I gave the fragrance its time. As far as I could tell, it didn't wear off. A cloud kept catching me and choking me off. Until I gave up. And tried to wash the smell off. First with water. Then with soap. Truly without success. The hand cream with the smell finally soothed the monster to such an extent that I almost forgot about it. Rarely have I wanted to repeat an experience so little.

However, there was a happy ending for the Refreshing Lagoons. I offered it to my mother and sister-in-law at Christmas and they both loved it. They were both polite enough to pass the bottle to each other. My father thoughtlessly settled the dispute by saying that the smell reminded him of an ex. So my mother's desire for the bottle fizzled out. So he found a more benevolent home and gave me an anecdote that will stay with me for a long time.

Solid fragrance without a "WOW" effect

With the "Acqua Colonia Intense - Refreshing Lagoons of Laos | 4711" I am once again dealing with a fragrance from 4711. I don't think the scent is bad and quite solid, but I'm not really convinced in the end. The fragrance is listed on Parfumo as a women's fragrance, for me it even smells quite unisex. The longevity is quite good at 6-7 hours, but after a very short time it is quite skin-deep. I therefore find the sillage to be mediocre.

The top note starts fresh, green, slightly aquatic and fruity with aromas of cucumber, watermelon, unripe apples and grapefruit. The heart note remains green thanks to violet leaves, but there are also floral notes with lotus blossom and rose water. The base has a slightly sweet, woody and balsamic scent of sandalwood and some amber.

In the end, I'm not sure how much I like this fragrance. It's light, fresh and not overpowering. At least it's a pleasant everyday fragrance.

Cute Freshy

I'm always on the lookout for inexpensive fragrances for my handbag.
I wanted to try out a few and got stuck here.

In short: it smells like mousse from the drugstore.

A little longer: it's very fresh. Apple, cucumber or grapefruit (kill me, but I can't work out the individual ones) lift the mood and give a fresh, clean feeling. Delicate florals round everything off without being in the bouquet.
Woods take the sweetness out a little in my opinion.

I like the clean hair styling scent. It's absolutely not a fancy creation, but it's really good if you like synthetic clean fragrances.
I like this and I can really imagine it in warmer temperatures without it being too sticky.

Can stay, because it's not annoying or intrusive. Can probably also be worn well at work.
