Warte ab
Ein Duft, der mich zurückträgt:
Silvester 2000, ich 13 Jahre alt,
eine fremde Party & dieser Duft in der Luft. Eine Freundin hat wohl diesen Duft getragen. Das stelle ich jetzt nach 25Jahren fest.

Ich kaufte diesen Duft, weil er in Rossmann im Angebot war.

Zu Beginn fast zu aufdringlich:
Mandarine, Galbanum, Estragon –
grün, laut, scharf und quietschig. Ich denke: „Nein, das bin ich nicht.“

Aber dann…wird er von Stunde zu Stunde besser. Romantisch, verspielt, blumig, sehr weiblich, bezaubernd.

Der Dry Down ist der Beste. Ich kann garnicht aufhören an mir zu schnuppern. Er hat was tiefes, warmes, erdiges, süß animalisches, erotisches..Hilfe!

Keiner spricht über diesen Duft.
Deshalb liebe ich ihn.

Nicht trendy. Sondern tief.
Mich würde es freuen, wenn ich die Einzige bin, die diesen Duft mag
Auf meinen Klamotten nicht so schön, wie auf meiner Haut
Und er hält 5Stunden ohne Problem, wenn nicht länger

Spiced Chypre with "Automatic Rewind"
This candidate from the early 90s has probably been "cut off" because it contains fragrance materials that simply belong in a good quality perfume, have always belonged there, and should normally always belong there, but are an eyesore for the IFRA, because someone might have gotten a pimple from them. One out of a thousand satisfied perfume users. (If that were the case, at least half of all cosmetics would have to be banned). JASMINE???? HYACINTH??? Above all, OAKMOSS!!!! are therefore the "most toxic killer substances" that make a perfume "dangerous." All gone, replaced by synthetic substances, or reduced to such an extent that it approaches homeopathic doses. As a result, scents either fall by the wayside, are reformulated, or taken off the program. I am glad that "Private Number" by Etienne Aigner is at least temporarily still available at Rossmann (likely from unreformulated stocks before production was halted). This scent is a very spicy Chypre that already carries quite dry-warm herbs in its aura. The Mediterranean tarragon, in conjunction with galbanum and green hyacinth, gives Private Number a strong start to create tension for "more." Mandarin and peach take the edge off the spices without making them tired. A large bouquet of garden carnations greets you after a while. The premium fragrance variety. Unsweetened, demonstrative, uncompromising, wonderful. A bit of jasmine "pants" after the carnations, carrying a tiny powder box of iris. The rose has a fragrant special position and primarily supports the carnations in their spicy effect without dominating. I hardly perceive honey now; the lily of the valley chimes a fine green melody, staying in the background, but something would be missing without them. Woody cedar makes its entrance and shows the flowers the forest where moss also grows. Subtle, yet distinct, because there's still plenty of that stuff in there. Vanilla and tonka remain more in the background for me; the moss, vetiver, and wood aspect prevail without reminding me of sawdust or anything similar. The scent Private Number by Aigner reminds me with its fragrance fullness of the melodies of an old orchestrion that you still find at some fairs. A huge instrument, with this automatic rewind that plays new melodies continuously, powerful, melodic, sometimes "antique," when figures "set the tone," which make you (at least that's the case for me) shudder with deep pleasure. Dear IFRA!!! Don't take away the last veterans among the fragrances, or let them fade into obscurity. Give us our "orchestrions" back!!!!!

Private Number. A number of its own.
Thank you Hasi for this wonderful scent memory. So where to begin? Private Number moved in around 1992 or 1993, as a result of a perfume shopping spree. However, I can’t remember where I bought it. Those were turbulent times, the whole world was in upheaval and communism was going down the drain. The time of round tables and we East Germans mutated into Germans with a migration background = German. Well!
The scent progression of Private Number, however, is not so dramatic, even though there are many "ingredients" in the top of the pyramid, I recommend Private Number (maybe you can still find it somewhere on the www) to anyone who says: Yep, I want to try a fully packed classic that doesn’t put my environment into a coma. Here it is!
The opening features tarragon (how does tarragon smell? I have it in the herb garden) slightly sharp and piquant, spicy. Then comes velvety round peach. Spices finely woven together. I can only say again, dare to try it. All of this is spectacular but not overwhelming!
Normally, I don’t like honey or lily of the valley in fragrances, but here both are so well integrated that they create a rounded note and don’t overpower the other notes in the heart.
Well, the base. I had to figure out what this little friend was. What are you? An oriental? No! No, a substantial and crisp chypre! Because the cedar note only reveals itself at the very end.
A little tip on how to smell cedar. A hint of pine needles floats along with it. Oak moss, smells damp, green, woody.
All in all, an exciting scent, well made, well thought out, that doesn’t hit anyone over the head with its qualities.

Recently, my best friend picked me up from home late at night. We wanted to wander around the city a bit and hit up this or that club. Going out with him is a special joy for me because he is not only my friend but also an absolute womanizer. I admit that I enjoy the admiring glances from the ladies when we are out together.
I had put on Private Number - which made the greeting hug quite lengthy! He buried his nose indulgently in my curls and inhaled the scent deeply. He told me that he had enjoyed this perfume once at a special time, revealing it to me conspiratorially while looking deep into my eyes. And that was where it stayed - because private matters should remain private. And friends should stay friends.

My dear Private Number,
we have known each other for so long, but we never met in person before, aside from fleeting encounters in society, where you always accompanied someone else. Admittedly, I was rarely alone myself.
We remained strangers for quite a while, perhaps because I was too young and inexperienced for you, perhaps because you seemed too sensual and powerful to me.
The years passed, I lost sight of you as the others, rather pale and short-winded types pushed you down to the lower floor, your exotic face almost faded from my memory.
Until one day I saw you again in a discount store.
You have changed, donned a new garment, your silhouette has become slimmer and no longer shimmers golden, but is dipped in a color reminiscent of strongly diluted fruit tea. An unworthy color for someone like you.
Is it really you? Or have you not only become an outward victim of the lifting craze and now are just a shadow of your former self?
I think of spicy herbs at your head and lovely flowers around your heart and dreamy vanilla at your feet, wrapped in cedar and moss. You were so beautiful…
I want to know. I can only know when you reveal your soul to me!
Come closer, so that I can smell you…
Oh yes, it is you… So sensual… So smooth… So powerful... The right one for me.
I don’t want to miss out anymore, to indulge in your bittersweet embrace, to feel your warm kiss on my skin, I am yours for all eternity!
I will take you with me and you will move into my boudoir with the other Darlings, but don’t worry - I will always love YOU.
Promise.

A classic 90's scent with spicy and mossy notes. Tested today at Rossi, 50ml/€13, but supposedly discontinued? Strange.

A solid floral scent with a delicate fruity note and a creamy-sweet tendency in the dry down. Quite uncomplicated and suitable for everyday wear.

This is how a princess from the 90s smells. An elegant floral dress flatters her peachy cheeks. Her green eyes shine. Enchanting.

Rich-fruity full chypre with a vintage effect. Combines fresh-herb, natural sweetness, powdery notes, and woody-spicy in great abundance. GOOD!

Wonderful rose soap, without being soapy.......sounds silly, but it’s true. Like placing rose soap among fresh laundry.

The scent soul embraces me, nothing is too loud, everything is finely balanced honey-yellow/orange spicy, barely floral. Noble soap joins in*

If you don't expect much, the surprise is big, just like here: terrible packaging - nice bottle, strange color - "wow" scent!

A beautiful, floral scent, friendly but not too girly, slightly bitter and green. The flowers are definitely in the foreground. Recommendation.

Super authentic jasmine, clove, and herbs, in HD and 3D - WOW. But: the base seems to have been poorly reformulated, moss is noticeable, ...

Today I managed to snag a 100ml bottle for just under 15€ at Rossmann. It's so lovely, I sense a very creamy rose.
