Vanilla souffle
I'm a lover of gourmand fragrances, especially those with any hint of vanilla.

What I can say about this fragrance? it's an unusual combination of vanilla, peaches and flowers. Love at first whiff. It starts with a light vanilla soufflé, but it stays fresh thanks to the flowers. I detect fruits in cream - one of my favorite combinations.

The only weakness is short longevity. This fragrance, much like the promises of an Italian lover, may seem like a pledge of something grand and unique. However, akin to a mist that dissipates at the first rays of the sun, this fragrance may prove fleeting. After a few hours, it vanishes, leaving only a delicate memory of what once was.

morning in the city of Milan
Waking up in the morning in the city of Milan, standing on the balcony and being warmed by the sun's rays....
An unbelievably soft fragrance with exotic undertones, with coconut clearly present cuddled by a velvety sweet peach and delicate flowers, making it a composition full of serenity and well-being.
Beautiful, sweet to the right point, warm like the rays of the sun that bring a beautiful smile to our faces.
Excellent performance, more appropriate for warm seasons.

A summer like back then,......
The Birkholz Mornings in Milano has been on my radar for a few months, but I didn't really find what I was looking for. Recently, however, I was able to get hold of a full bottle in a souk and have to say: "this is summer PUR for me". Soft, creamy coconut and a hint of sun cream. I've never had anything like it before. I'm a fan of fragrances with a creamy character anyway and this one does its job really well. The opening makes me look forward to the beach straight away, because you simply can't help but smell of coconut and sun cream. It lasts a good 6-7 hours on me and I'm more than happy with that.

This will probably be my absolute favorite in midsummer!

One summer morning......!!!!
For a long time I struggled with whether to love or hate this fragrance!
In the end, I decided to buy it!

Just now on vacation I was able to try it out at different times of the day in the right temperatures!
At 8 o'clock in the morning in Spain, the sun's rays shining through the curtains, freshly showered & generously sprayed, I find this fragrance almost perfect!
A light fruitiness paired with a subtle coconut & a hint of vanilla give a pleasant smelling start to the day!

Even if the perfume takes a very feminine direction at the beginning, it still has a not too penetrating effect on my skin!
Over time, the fruit & unfortunately also the coconut recede and what remains is a floral scent that continues to set the tone with the softened vanilla and a few woody notes!
On the whole, it is a pleasant fragrance.

The only drawback here, as with so many Birkholz perfumes, is the longevity! After about 5-6 hours, there was only a hint of the fragrance left on my skin!
Perhaps Birkholz should think about increasing the fragrance oil content a little!

Creamy fruit on the beach
Birkholz has really many fragrances, some of which I have tested. For my nose, this is the best! Since the Portofino rated much better here can not come against - I mean. MORNINGS IN MILANO gets at least an 8.5 from me for the fragrance. It is summery, but for once not citrusy and airy-light like many others, but it has a creamy undertone. Coconut I smell hardly, rather obstig/sweetish, but not too sweet. He is simply my summer dream.
Unfortunately, the durability is rather mediocre with me, like many Birkholzdüfte.
