Very helpful Review 10  
It's Always About Money
When the negative interest gnaws at the account balance
Only a trip to the ATM helps
From the freshly printed banknote protrudes

For those who hold money sacred, Aerarium could take capitalism to the extreme
or simply allow one to hold a high-quality fragrance in oily consistency with exclusive packaging - at an affordable price (what irony).

Iris and amber instantly conjure a delicate paper aura.
With a bit of imagination, that's certainly possible.
Fresh banknotes from the overheated ATM actually smell slightly powdery to musty (not Aerarium), of dry paper and something else, indefinable, which is hardly perceivable as a scent, similar to a molecular fragrance, e.g. M02.

Nevertheless: Aerarium has longevity and sillage.
Initially, I get a stuffy iris that doesn't smell opulently floral, but rather clean and soapy.
In combination with the white amber, a powdery paper-like note emerges, with a hint of mimosa sweetness, if one uses a bit of imagination.
The remaining notes carry the fragrance.

It is not the most varied scent, nor is it original, but neither is a tax office.
So why set high expectations? In fact, it could be a possible intense interpretation of Lacoste pour Femme, although the fragrance notes differ significantly.

Worth a test!

Theme nailed
The theme was very well nailed, given that you know what the scent is supposed to smell like, namely money. Without this information, you might only think it smells like a musty bureaucrat or a file archive. Am I really going to wear this scent? I'm still very unsure about that, I think it's more of a "nice to have," especially because of the beautiful bottles, each of which is a unique piece. The scent itself smells very green to me, predominantly due to the iris and cannabis. Longevity is very long, it easily lasts all day, sillage is rather subtle. In principle, the scent is wearable, but I honestly wouldn't know in which situation or for what occasion.

Well, somehow I'm not smelling what I should again. A subtle, rather powdery and serious floral scent with a hint of...

So this is what banknotes smell like????
Then all my banknotes must have been fake.
Nice joke... I only smell the white musk. *

A bit too floral and watery-sweet to pass as a banknote. It becomes duller and more worn over time. Nice concept and absolutely wearable.

soft, marzipan-like blossoms, not too fluffy
light and airy on me like a mist
reminds me vaguely of the matrix prints in school

Ms. Iris wears a shimmering gray-violet silk suit and delicate white leather gloves. Understatement on gray musk matrices.

It beams you straight into the next tax office.
Stacked files, printers running non-stop for hours.
The idea is executed brilliantly.

Floral, fluffy, powdery start. Gentle leather note. No association/money note for me.
Not uninteresting, but not for me.
