In the enchanted forest - or: Young hearts chase adventure

First of all, welcome to my first review. And of course I had to write directly not only to my probably favorite fragrance, but also the, with the most beautiful name: Young Hearts - what a picture!

For three and a half years, I now deal with fragrance and I still do hard to smell out individual notes, if they do not jump a present in the olfactory bulb. Even more so, I also usually do not think it necessary to be able to, after all, I'm not a perfumer, but someone who likes to enjoy adventures in flacons to spray on.

The first time this fragrance ran across my path about a year and a half ago. Enclosed in an order from my best friend was an inconspicuous little glass tube, which, as we sobered to discover, was not even filled to a quarter. The viscosity of the brew made us wonder, and when we finally dared to pull out the plastic stick, a cloud of fragrance exploded into the room that we hadn't expected and couldn't get out of the room for the rest of the day - and with just a few drops on the back of my hand.

Young Hearts smells like walking through a dense mixed forest, yet dominated by conifers, and discovering a dew-damp rose book in a sun-drenched clearing. It's morning and the overnight rain has washed the scents from woods, mosses and grasses and launched them into the cool air. Young Hearts is an enchanting walk through a magical forest in which you can be completely immersed, which swallows you and from which you take a piece back out. The scent progression underlines the image excellently. It starts with a slightly tangy scent of needles and something mossy, after half an hour the rose suddenly blooms, which for my nose also doesn't want to leave for the whole fragrance. Fortunately for me, it stays juicy and never becomes sweet or soapy. Woody and balsamic notes linger in the background, giving the scent a wonderful depth, but without ever drifting into resinous or even smoky. The fragrance embodies a mood of departure - perhaps also by its name; it has rough edges and is anything but a casual contemporary that only wants to please.

Young Hearts is an adventure, a journey in the bottle that brings a smile to my face every time I smell it. Thank you Miguel Matos for this fragrance, which I can not rate other than the full 10 points, also for the durability and sillage.

The only drawback in my opinion is the bottle: Visually, the really makes something, the black coating and the green lettering look great, also the cork closure has something, however, this is not the most stable and wears off after some use. Here is in the handling so something care is required.
