Feminine
"When is a man a man?", asked Gröni on the album "Bochum" in 1984. I was 8 years old at the time - when and whether men were men was not exactly my primary concern; rather the boys, because they were really stupid, I knew that for sure. Besides, I knew that boys were definitely not better than us girls, as they sometimes claimed. However, there are other girls in other times and countries who are quite sure they know that boys are better and worth more. Thank God I was spared from that; I grew up in an emancipated society.

I could write a five-page treatise on the topic "Emancipation - Benefits and Harms", about androgynous fashion trends and knitting booms, about their effects on homosexuals, about the loss of dual-gender identity due to upheaval in role distribution and future forecasts. But actually, I just want to point out that women today increasingly ask, "When is a woman a woman?"
Unfortunately, many women think that just because they can do everything, they must also do everything at the same time. Children and career, marriage and independence, time for oneself and for the partner, organic garden and political volunteer work, harp lessons and Pink concerts - and who the hell does the household? Burnout is pre-programmed. You can't do it all.

If you want it all, wear Notturno Fiorentino. Just the bottle conveys a mélange of tradition (the gold-plated cap) and modernity (the pink bottle). The scent is an enchanting blend of soft, non-sticky vanilla and a rose that comes across as anything but cloying thanks to the blackcurrant. The pepper gives it mystique, the bergamot freshness, the jasmine sweetness, and the cedarwood groundedness. Really delicious!

Notturno Fiorentino awakens in me primal feminine virtues like sensuality, strength, and gentleness and answers the question of the definition of being a woman with feeling, not with reason.
With it, I can be everything: a warming mother, a caring partner, a cunning businesswoman, a charming hostess, queen of the night, starry romantic, and a slut in bed - and through it all, I am always me, I have always been me.
No one can expect more femininity than what we have available - least of all ourselves.

You still want to make out,
but I would really like to bite!

What lies behind the first sentence?
Of course, a desire, a wild affair, even if not immediately visible at first glance.

For as innocent as Notturno may seem at first, the erotic chasm that opens up in this scent is infinite.
For the fragrance plays around, embraces many, because it uses the weapons of a woman. Not in a harsh way, but in a gallant and charming manner that carries a hint of eroticism.

Strangely enough, many are drawn to the scent when I wear it. Of course, the male creations come first. There have been quite a few compliments, and my husband chirps like he's intoxicated when I glide past him wearing the fragrance.

I don't want to dissect Notturno or get tangled up in eternal expressions.
Notturno is an opulent scent that initially takes your breath away when you apply it.
You are engulfed by a deep sweetness of blackcurrant, which you pick from the deepest woods and truly revel in its taste. From this explosion of flavor, some flowers emerge. Foremost is the rose, which presents itself immensely rich and extraordinarily vibrant. A deep red color glows in the eyes. This is how a rose should be. Plump and red. Beautiful, but still in a certain way, gentle and feminine. Alongside this, there is always a light spice veil that keeps everything in check - and after a few moments, the queen of this fragrance emerges. The tonka bean, which shows itself here quite creamy - So hot and sharp that it glides thickly through my fingers, and I would gladly lick it off afterward. Musk and vanilla are gently sprinkled in. The sweetness is already a statement, but it is not too extreme; rather, it simply fits the statement that Notturno wants to convey.

This is a sweet desire. An erotic chirp. Because there isn't much girliness here when you look directly into the soul of the fragrance. It has great longevity, with a rather moderate sillage. But at its peak, it takes several souls with it and buys them for a penny ;D

Freely according to the motto:
You still want to make out, but I would really like to bite!

nocturnal-romantic city stroll
A meeting at the street café: my feet ache slightly after the city stroll - as enchanting as Florence is; the shoes were perhaps not quite suitable! Or is the kitten heel simply unfriendly to women?
Of course - strappy sandals: typical woman!
The espresso invigorates and the charismatic gentleman at the next table is ready for "a little Flirtation"!
Florence unleashes its magic: "Perché no?" says the moment!
"Sì, con Piacere!" I reply!

The old town alleys are not exactly heel-friendly, but the evening still tempts with exuberance.
The city's gardens generously release their scents: bergamot - fresh and invigorating wafts lightly through the night! A good dose of black pepper makes the darkness crackle: a slight shimmer hangs in the air!
Jasmine and Turkish rose whisper softly and lure into detours in the beginning night: scent clouds float caressingly through the old alleys - they whisper, they entice: Venus accompanies the nocturnal stroll ...
The walk leads to a small patisserie: it is still open!
What sweet temptation resides there - vanilla: heavy, sensual, and warm, and the magic of tonka bean unite in a tender embrace: sweet temptation spreads!
The subsequent kisses taste sweet, a little sticky, and promise a romantic night: una Notte dolcissima!
A night woven with the silky softness of spicy cedarwood and a lot of musk: "Aroma aromatico" is the order of the day!

The magic of such a night is captured in "Notturno Fiorentino"; refined, warm, and exuberant!
Really, only really "a little Flirtation" - nothing serious; a night full of romance and enchanting scent development unfolds: tender smiles, whispers, secret temptation - a nocturnal secret between two people!
No great emotions, no deep passions do I find here - just an entertaining, playful night full of Florentine magic!
Nice, friendly - a lovingly charming companion reveals himself: "Tonight or never!"
A magical night in Florence has been captured in a bottle and corresponding scent, bringing smiles: una notte di amore!
Every woman should be allowed to experience such a night - una Notte Amore!

Berry Sin
The fragrance pyramid looks so harmless, so simple, so unembellished, so structured. Fresh-berry opening, floral-spicy heart, sweet base. But what the contents of this bottle do on my skin and in my nose blows me away, knocks me out, and carries me off to a dreamland. By the way, it’s a bottle that I find stunningly beautiful: the typical Bois hand grenade in shimmering bright pink with a wooden cap, which is iconically and patinated painted in gold. Striking.

Unfortunately, this mini-series is also disappearing from the market: the Knockout Rose (Kimono Rose), the Knockout Vanilla (La Vaniglia), and indeed this Knockout Berry. Three very special fragrances that have created particularly beautiful and particularly excitingly wicked-sinful perfumes from a simple and rather traditional theme (rose, vanilla, berry).

The Florentine Night is my personal winner from the mini-series because these berries have been processed in such hypnotically delicious ways that I have never smelled before. It’s all so sweet and berry-like, a bit fresh and cool, and above all so deep and sensual that I suspect even more ingredients than those listed above. Freshly sprayed, I smell patchouli, which isn’t supposed to be there. Could it be the pepper that is responsible for this dark, mysterious note? In any case, this strong opening surprises from such an innocently pink bottle. A spiced sweetness is right there, black currants, juicy, full, ripe, lush. A fresh waft runs through the entire composition and prevents a sweet stickiness. Bergamot in the top note, dewy fresh flowers in the heart, and a fine wood in the base ensure that this berry sin always feels a bit fresh, airy, ethereal, and cool. Alongside all the depth, there is a three-dimensionality that never overlooks the airy spheres. Despite all the sweetness, the fragrance never feels heavy like compote, but airy and light like a mousse. Extremely fine amidst all the fragrance density and extremely high quality. I also suspect a bit of amber in the base, although the tonka bean already gives everything it has to offer. A creamy richness, through which a warm-amber note still flashes. The berry fruitiness remains until the delicious finish. Jasmine and especially the distinct rose in the heart are perfectly tuned supporting characters that set floral accents without the fragrance losing its gourmand character. There’s hardly any development in the scent, and it doesn’t bother me at all. Notturno Fiorentino is immediately there, right on point. Delicious-sensual-berry-light-deep-fresh-warm-silky and incredibly tasty. Grandiose.

Powder Fruitlet ,,,.
A bright scent, bright like midsummer with its opulent flower beds and currants, which lounge here in dusted vanilla.

It was a sought-after birthday gift this year, after I ordered a sample from a dear perfumer and was convinced after the first spray that this perfume is definitely a must-have! - Why not also get THIS one -, there's always room in the smallest hut (and - if you're going to do it, do it right, and - enough is not enough, and - having is everything, etc., etc.) You know how it is, the bottles pile up -, and my partner rolls his eyes. This obsession is less understandable to him and is of only marginal importance.
But - what would I have missed!

Only the color of the bottle matches the scent; otherwise, this pink satin-finished hand grenade is not quite fitting for the small, delicate scented wonder.
What a pity - a more adequate, somewhat finer glass bottle would have suited the scent better, in my opinion.
If the beautiful scent were a piece of clothing, I envision a light, flowing, shimmering pale pink silk dress with a flared skirt, a narrow waist, tight short sleeves, and a deep round neckline. Bright and airy.
After spraying, it becomes a delicate dream, gourmand like a fluffy fruity vanilla foam, yet not too sweet and as picturesque as beautiful Florence - whether by day or by night -; it is sensual down to the tips of the hair and awakens the corresponding spirits of life - ..... Come here, you powder fruitlet, let yourself be indulged! -
By now, my husband is also taken with it - ....

Fruits and flowers do not push themselves forward in this scent; they blend very homogeneously, lightly tinged by black pepper, so they don't become too exuberant. - The pepper is really just a contribution to the overall effect, nothing scratchy here.
Vanilla, tonka bean, and woody notes immediately join in, making the scent powdery, soft, and "fruit gourmand," yet acceptably sweet.

I can't discern a significant scent progression. All components are immediately perceivable to me.

The sillage doesn't make a big fuss but is still present.
Unfortunately, regarding longevity, I often find myself wanting to spray again because I miss the expected, longer-lasting, swirling scent aura that I can perceive for myself, and it tends to become quite close to the skin rather quickly. However, it remains there for a long time.

Nevertheless - a delicious powdery dream for truly a l l occasions. Light elegance at its finest! - The most delicate seducer of our hemisphere - (a little exaggeration is certainly legitimate ;-) ....)

Very elegant, subtly sweet Italian, who could also be a hidden exclusive Guerlain. Too much of a Grand Dame to be mine.

The pyramid reads differently than the result. What comes out is something powdery-sweet-oriental. Unfortunately, it's too much for me.

Lovely, lightly peppered vanilla on a few currants with some rose petals and distant jasmine. Super delicious scent, close to the skin.
