Sniffing the roses unsuspectingly
In front of me on the table is a small test tube, with one or two milliliters of transparent, inconspicuous liquid. The only label is the number "4", written on the plastic with a felt-tip pen. I don't know anything about it - don't know the manufacturer or the bottle, not the price range or the notes that await me, all the information that is communicated to us via the senses of sight and hearing, when in the case of fragrances someone else plays the main role - the nose. All right, and the brain. And both of them get a proper workout from this little sample.
So I try to approach this unknown fragrance systematically, my notebook and a pen are always within reach.
Test sniff

On the spray head of the tube, I smell... not much. The scent doesn't seem particularly potent, although it has been sprayed a few times.
"Fruity-oriental" I write down hesitantly, "rather weak".
Paper sample

Before it may be sprayed on my skin, I subject the fragrance to a test on a paper strip. Here reveals itself then also a greater radiance than emanated from the spray head itself. The star of this perfume now shows itself for the first time: Rose!
I note: "Rose. Perles de Lalique? spicy: peppery - woody - a little bit fresh. minimal plastic (aldehyde?) note. quite gentle."
Wear test

Rose immediately fills the room when sprayed on the skin. It is not heavy or stale, but fruity, transparent, dewdrop fresh. Hence my association with Perles de Lalique , a fragrance that made this flower accessible to me for the first time through a light, almost futuristic treatment of the rose. I am quite thrilled by this elegant, feminine, slightly sweet and floating rose that I perceive in "number 4".
I reach for the pen: "delightfully fruity/jammy rose. spicy, a pinch of pepper. fresh! not aquatic, but dewy."
As the fragrance progresses, the rose pulls back a bit, but remains ever-present. Underneath, I perceive an equally delicate base, "possibly ISO-E? woody-transparent. Rose - rose - rose. green aspects. Resin?" My partner also senses fruity notes and keeps pulling my wrist towards his nose saying, "I like this one a lot! You're keeping it, aren't you?"
Pearl comparison

In many aspects, the unknown fragrance reminded me of Perles de Lalique : the fresh rose, the woody base, PdL did not skimp on ISO-E. In direct comparison, each fragrance sprayed on a wrist, PdL is clearly more acidic and has more intense woody notes.
I can hardly believe it when I admit to myself that I like "4" even better - it's rounder and more delicate. After repeated wear, when I sniff it directly on my skin, I can detect the woody notes here as well. "Patch? Vetiver? Cashmeran?" I'm guessing the latter, as a certain resinousness is evident, though it never clearly comes to the fore. No, the foreground is someone else - her. The rose.

Elegant. Floating. Sweet and delicate and gentle. Fresh. Beautiful.
Thank you to dear First for this exciting blind comment challenge! With a choice of 4 unlabeled fragrances, I got to pick one to write a review on. And it has become DCCLIII per La Donna, which has immediately displaced Perles de Lalique from my wish list.

The woods are already colourful...
An elegantly styled package to the morning
Dog running, the content in the pocket of the Barbour
Jacket, between dog treats and pipe it now has its place!
My Newfoundlander is waiting and I'm throwing
me in my dog run - Outfit !
So now, one more spray for happy running.
Well ... where did I get it ... oh yes in the depths of the bag ... the White Flakönchen is found .ohh very pretty.
Ben's already at the door and I've got time .
to still motivate me with my fragrance companion!
Wow ... the greeting is very warm
And... very spicy !
A cheerful bark, challenges me to finally set my luxury body in motion! Fits the fragrance ...
Said done. Swoop the front door closed and my still blooming roses praised, the magnificent on the house wall of our old half-timbered house
climb up!
A fine fragrance reaches my nose...
But not only from real roses... from my back of the hand gorgeous nuances of rose scent stream towards me!
Weave themselves with the scent of my climbing rose!
Let's go, our morning round is always something for soul and mind!
It is still very fresh and the air vibrates before energy
Streaming ,Autumn scents !
Directly in front of my front door is a beautiful valley, the Bömbachtal... the stream flows gurgling through mown meadows!
Ben jumps off cheerfully and will pay his respects to the stream, no matter if warm or cold!
It is fun for me about the still baptism damp meadows
To stride!
It is slightly windy and I always get scents of my new scent.
Its radiant warmth of cinnamon and sandalwood interweaves with the scent of the beginning forest! Hmmmm is that fine ...
.....soo Ben comes out trotted
And hmmm , ohhh how fine ..shakes right next to me , the water from his fur!
Hop, my goodness. Cold. brrrr...a raspberry tendril at the wayside, slows my progress... single
Dried-up ones serve the birds as vitamin and Genusshappen.they sit still brightly ,pink
at the Ranke.
Ben is punished ... no the forest begins ... on a leash!
What a change of air
Grade still very light and equate
Now dull and warm and heavy!smell of mushrooms
and rotting foliage ..,musky!
This peace and quiet a pleasure for the soul .
Also my fragrance companion smells similar in this forest climate, soft warm, attractively cuddly!
A little musty, earthy, I think from Amber.
With a slightly sweet touch, the soil is adorned with coloured leaves and still smells of the end of summer A woodpecker begins with his work and also for me it is time to start the way back with my dog treasure!
But not getting near the creek again,
one shower is enough:-))

Donna Weather
I went to the store for myself - and I didn't want to look for anything.

The girlfriend held a noble white golden box in front of my nose.
Conscious of the yawning empty Christmas box office, I actually wanted to remain abstinent.

But the fair price attracted - and the attractive outfit of the Carlo.
The Colucci brand was unknown to me until then.
A knowledge gap - as it turned out with the first spray.

Full and soft, a white golden cloud of sweet cinnamon and spices surrounds me - that I stop impressed.
Donna Weather !
The ripe raspberry nestles against the creamy sandalwood - and a velvety bouquet of roses is delivered galant.
Pure feminine elegance .
A fragrance for special occasions - but also adaptable and wearable during the day.
Extravagant - but not arrogant.

A valuable fragrance, powerful and surprisingly affordable.
An enjoyable combination.

A lucky find for me.

Big brother of the cute "Epic Woman"
A little history. (You don't have to read through ;) )

"Colucci DCCLIII per la Donna" led them all upside down. "What a Greek goddess", "Who is this charming young woman?" was heard every now and then in the fine company of a warm summer evening, when a charming unknown woman in a radiant white Greek robe with goldsmiths appeared on the magnificent terrace overlooking the sea. But this "goddess" didn't stay at the party for a long time, she went for a long stroll, looked around smiling, but hardly exchanged a few words with the guests... Then she turned the corner to the laundry room and... disappeared.
When "the goddess" turned the corner and thought she was alone, she tore off the robe and the wig, washed the make-up off the story and turned into a grinning young man. His sweet young sister was already waiting for him with impatience. The evening before, the siblings made a provocative bet: Colluci, who was outwardly very similar to his sister, Epic, was to dress up as a woman and so briefly show himself to society and no soul was to recognize him as a man that evening. "Epic" was also at the party, watching the action with great pleasure. Society has actually taken the bait. No one has recognized a young man in the lovely goddess. Colucci won the bet.
And Epic Woman reached out his sisterly hand...

Price-performance ratio is top:
The bottle
The bottle is a dream, looks very noble and high-quality: radiant white, heavy, with golden Greek ornaments, a golden cap (made of plastic, but nevertheless high-quality) and a white bow around the bottle neck decorated. Very feminine (and therefore deceptive!!!) . Just an eye-catcher!

The shelf life and Sillage
The fragrance is very concentrated, you need little of it and it lasts all day on the skin. Nevertheless, he seems to project moderately, so that the Sillage would not slaughter anyone, unless one had the idea to bathe in it :)

The fragrance
The fragrance for me is very similar to that of my beloved "Epic Woman" from Amouage, but it's not a clone of it, it just goes in the same direction. Epic Woman is a soft-warm spicy fragrance, looks small little sweeter, softer, "more natural" and better blended than the fragrance from Colucci.
Cinnamon and cloves (less) are dominant notes in the Colucci fragrance. Soon a completely unsweet rose appears, but in a symbiosis with patchouli and sandal it forms the background of the spice game. The fragrance is louder than "Epic Woman", has small corners and edges, is not so well blended. That does its unsweet, spicy beauty no harm yet.
For who?
For lovers of cinnamon, clove and patchouli in fragrances.
The perfume is unisex and certainly tends more in the masculine direction than "Epic Woman" so it can be worn by a man without any hesitation.
Conclusion
A great and very durable fragrance especially for the autumn-winter season and a more masculine and inexpensive alternative for the expensive "Epic Woman" perfume.
