Particularly successful - successful particularly

In spring, birch water is traditionally extracted from the trunks of the birch trees, which is said to have a positive effect on health. It is said to contain many vitamins and minerals and, when drunk as a cure, has a detoxifying, vitalising and invigorating effect. Also in the sauna, as Wenik Aufguss, the birch promotes the well-being.

We come first, however, to the fragrance.
He starts fresh-green and juicy, slightly tart and almost a little bitter with citrus accompaniment. After about twenty minutes, a creamy sillage emerges, which is actually somewhat reminiscent of green figs and can only be smelled at a distance, on the skin remains the green bitterness. In the heart note, rather than the florals listed, I would have guessed violet. This light floral note gives the fragrance something lovely, delicate without becoming dominant and also does not overpower the green, fresh main components, only the citrus note has completely withdrawn. Towards the base, the scent then doesn't change much for me, but after three hours it becomes increasingly skin-toned and the vetiver peeks through. The other base notes I can not pull out in detail but the fragrance now gets a touch of soapiness which is not at all unpleasant. The fragrance exudes freshness and lightness, like birch trees in springtime, their green leaves shining in the sun and moved by the wind. I find him very successful, somehow also very special but thereby completely uncomplicated and can not imagine that he is perceived by anyone as unpleasant.

What now has the fragrance, apart from the name, to do with the birch, or why did I have to think directly of the birch water? I feel him as refreshing, invigorating and vitalizing, he combines for me all the properties that are attributed to the birch water and who knows, maybe he also has a positive effect on your health.
