Since I accidentally smelled Angel Schlesser OE II on a woman in the shopping mall, I have been enchanted by it. It is a strong oriental fragrance that is also suitable for young ladies, without coming across as arrogant or overly bold. It is strong, but it still has a fine line of sensuality, which gives it a lovely character, even though this aspect is only brief in the perfume. When you go out with it, you can hardly escape compliments. OE II and I work together like a vampire with the night. I like it very much, to say the least, I love it! A perfume that brings as much excitement as it does thrill. Different, simply.. and I find different good!
Everything started exactly two years ago. It was mid-January, and I was out with my family. While the others rummaged around in the stores, I was "just" at Müller to get something for myself. I was browsing through the store when a woman stood next to me. The young woman was dressed really well. Everything matched so beautifully, and she had such a pretty face - with dark, round eyes.. I believe her face will always stay in my memory. A fuller young lady, about mid-30s, wearing a beautiful silk blouse in fine shades of gray.
On her wrist, there was a chain in the shape of a cobra, which sparkled beautifully when she moved her well-groomed hands.. A small ball hung from the chain, swinging back and forth. A scent cloud that was very dominant and full of strong spices slowly but surely wafted over to me. I believe I caught a hint of fine saffron, beautifully layered with woods, although I am no expert and cannot catch everything or define all the fragrance notes. For me, it was simply a pleasant scent, intensely packed with beautiful spices. An oriental fragrance par excellence. Just as one imagines the Orient in their dreams. With cool nights, hot days, beautiful oases, thousands of spices, fine silk garments.. A scent that is very heavy and intense. I was immediately exhilarated, and my blood began to rush. I haven't smelled something so beautifully intense in ages, and certainly not like this!
It had something in it that makes you sit up and take notice. Something dark came to mind. It completely envelops you, I told myself. A true prelude of little devils wanting to win the favor of every woman. A dance of feelings and excitement. Little devils jumping around a fire, stirring up the scent from the oriental ground. I was already lost in some fantasies and was almost unconscious :D when the lady asked if she could pass. I, the chaotic one, was standing in the middle of the aisle and blocking the way. If someone had taken a picture of me there, the camera would have been drooling :D I was totally, excuse the expression, crazy for this scent. It drove me wild! I stepped aside, apologized, and sweetly asked which fragrance she was wearing.
She turned around and looked directly at me with her round eyes. Even the little devils would weaken at that. If I were to assign a scent to the demon in the novel, it would surely be this one. Just in the female version. A broad grin spread across her face.
- This is by Angel Schlesser. Oriental Edition, the second.
Angel Schlesser? Who on earth is Angel Schlesser? Never heard of him. I asked where she got it from, and she, very kindly, pulled out a notepad from her bag, tore off a piece of paper, and wrote it down for me. - Look it up on the internet. Hopefully, you will find it there. I thanked her. She slowly disappeared, taking with her that beautiful cloud full of spices and woods, while I also sensed something floral. Was that rose? My blood was bubbling again, and I was once more, even if only internally, drooling :D
My family had meanwhile sent me a text message and was waiting, almost angrily, outside Müller. - 'It always takes forever with you. What are you doing in that store all the time?' Typical. If they only knew what kind of scent experience I had. They would turn green with envy :D Ha!
At home, I set out to find the mentioned perfume and succeeded. It was ordered immediately. I could hardly wait for the day to wear it. When it finally arrived, the disillusionment. This is not it at all, I thought. It starts off a bit floral. For me, it carried an old-fashioned note, which somewhat dampened my euphoria.
Wait. After a short time, however, the euphoria returned. Something sweet spread, a delicate scent of flowers, (I detect rose and, if I'm not mistaken, also violet) and then this beautiful saffron note came through. Jackpot! I can't describe to you how exhilarated and happy I was. Over time, it became woodier, quite captivating. Could it be oud, I wondered? But as I said, I am no specialist in this area.
In short, OE II is a woody, floral, spicy oriental fragrance that is completely different from what I know of orientals. You can't find it anywhere at Müller or even in a perfumery; here, it is just like that. I don't know how it is in Germany. It is unique. It has something incredibly seductive about it, without wanting to suffocate anyone with its eroticism.
It clings to my skin for a long time and fills me with its notes, making me feel untouchable and so unique. I feel like Irini, who also described the perfume. I feel like a seductress. A queen - a cobra.
Oh, it is simply kneeling-worthy.
Demonically good!!
(Ps.: I only regret that I cannot filter everything out and am not an expert in the field of fragrance progression. Please don't be too harsh on me :) -so sweetly looking - )
