Hydrangea Macrophylla Hot
... also called ball hydrangea "Hot-red-violet".
Some people will ask themselves: "How did she come up with hydrangea? There's none in the fragrance notes!"
Quite simply: it's the COLOR! When sniffing this berry scent, a color association keeps buzzing through my head - a mishmash of red-purple in varying intensities. But what color exactly? "Berry"? - difficult! this color is sometimes cooler, sometimes warmer. "Mulberry"? - too red! "Aubergine"? - too purple and gaudy! Neurotic as I am, I click wildly through the internet to find the perfect shade that describes this fragrance. I end up on the pages of furniture stores and "Schöner Wohnen", only to discover that there are hardly any "universally valid" color descriptions with a corresponding scale. Frustrated and on the verge of posting a code a'la 6F3250, I click away for a while. From the websites of various wall paint suppliers, I ended up on the website of a tree nursery. Beautiful pink-purple berry tones shine out at me. THAT IS HER! ... or rather - that IS them! The wonderfully strong berry tones and color gradients of the "Hydrangea Macrophylla Hot" perfectly capture the scent for me!
On Alghabra's website you can find the following description for "Sweet Reflection": "This fragrance is a gender-neutral reflection of purity and serenity". All I can say is: "Hogwash!!!" We're not dealing with the water lily deodorant from CD here, but with a massive, sweet berry cracker!
Scent:
For the first few minutes, I smell the latest perennial favorite among mocktails: a sweet, sweet Johaniss berry spritzer with rose petals dancing around in it. The scent is sweet at this point, but not sticky. After a short time, the tart acidity of the redcurrant is added. It almost tingles and I can't help but think of Ahoy sherbet powder. You can already smell some vanilla here and the fragrance becomes heavier and heavier. After around 20 minutes, the perfume suddenly takes a powdery, soapy turn towards flowers. From further away, you can clearly smell the iris. My nose also picks up soapy jasmine. These fragrance notes ensure that the initially somewhat "girly" bouquet can also be worn well by an adult woman. The base finally ends in a wonderful vanilla berry syrup. To bite into!
Where? When? Who?
I'm thinking of a smart event in early summer. It's not too warm outside yet, and the event runs late into the evening. So every single stage of the perfume would come into its own. For me, the fragrance is above all sensual, perhaps even a little playful! Far from fresh, serious or relaxed. So I see it mainly on women who prefer the former. It is definitely suitable for lovers of heavy fruity-florals, or fruity-gourmands due to the strong vanilla base.
Conclusion:
I can't take my nose off my arm! I really like the fragrance, in all its different facets. If I didn't just have it as a sample from a traveling letter, I would pour myself over it. It would be in my collection if it wasn't so expensive!
