Valentine's Day can be a truly lovely day. Even though I am not fond of the idea of giving something small to my loved one on a specific day, I am still pleased to hold something small in my hands on this day. This year, I decided to gift my beloved a small present from the Fragrance & Flowers department, thanks to the effective marketing by Birkholz. It was a beautiful box containing an infinity rose, and inside the box with a magnetic flap, there was a small sample of a Birkholz fragrance. Since my wife enjoys wearing very floral scents, I chose the Charm Mystery. From the statements, I could somewhat infer that this is not an overly sweet fragrance, which made it even more exciting, as the feminine collection at home consists mostly of sweeter floral friends. To make it even more intense, I had the infinity rose scented directly with the perfume.
What can I say?
The surprise was a complete success.
The scent is really very pleasant to my nose, even as someone who dislikes intense rose fragrances. There are extremely many dry flowers enveloped in a light creaminess. I think my nose appreciated that the flowers are a mix of rather subtle rose and some white flowers. Additionally, there is a very discreet fruitiness from the indicated peach. Ultimately, the accord is wrapped in delicate and dry vanilla. I am by no means a fan of floral scents, but this one is truly very pleasant.
The skin test was also very convincing, as I kept sniffing my wife's neck. On the skin, it did not feel as dry as on a test strip or the infinity rose, but it was still far from having any sweaty notes.
In terms of sillage, the fragrance was within the range I know from her other scents. There is a good half meter of fragrance around you in the first hours, making it easy to get through the day. After a workday, the scent is still perceptible on the skin and is therefore sufficiently concentrated. What was interesting for me was that it does not have the same problem as my Berlin Fever, which somewhat isolates itself from the wearer, causing the sillage to drop significantly. Here, one spray on the wrist is a must to experience the scent throughout the day.
