Brilliant fresh & good mood scent for the self-confident

I have known and used this fragrance for over 15 years now.

My first encounter with this scent: I kept smelling it on a former colleague - and eventually bought it for myself. I think it suited her quite well. She had short brown hair that was always a bit tousled, was a very temperamental woman who spread good vibes, and occasionally liked to tell a naughty joke or two.

Since then, this fragrance has been in my collection, apart from a small break in between. I associate this scent with that cheeky and self-confident colleague. For me, it is fresh, sporty, self-assured, extravagant, smells like freshly showered, clean, modern, and cheeky at the same time.

Tomato leaf, suede... what a fantastic combination is that?!

A few years ago in Vienna: In the Albertina, a wonderful museum. A woman stands next to me admiring a painting with her husband.

I couldn't resist and eventually asked her about her perfume after discreetly following her for a while, hoping to guess what it could be. I was surprised that I didn't recognize the scent at all since I had used it long before! She seemed to be on vacation, spoke only English, and was a bit taken aback by my question about her fragrance, but then she laughed heartily and revealed it to me :) Once home, you can guess it, the fragrance was reordered.

Interestingly, scents often smell completely different when worn by others.

I really enjoy wearing this fragrance in spring and summer. For hot days, it’s a welcome refreshment, helping to keep a cool head. I love wearing this scent at work; it makes me feel as if I’ve just showered all day long. I associate this fragrance with a sense of calmness, a certain coolness. It makes me feel a bit masculine, which gives me a sense of strength and a touch of dominance. I can also dance a little outside the lines and tell a naughty joke.

I envision an elegant, minimally dressed businesswoman with this scent. But it also suits a woman who enjoys wearing her sneakers and boyfriend jeans :) And yes, it’s also quite fitting for high heels and a dress. However, this fragrance is less about the outfit and more about the attitude and mood :)

The scent is slightly metallic, but definitely not in a negative way and certainly not like a rusty metal rod or something. This metallic note even gives it a certain dominance, power, and strength. I find that good and it’s a brilliant change from other floral & fresh scents for the "well-behaved ladies" ;)

The longevity is quite okay for a fresh perfume; I can still smell it on my clothes in the evening, although of course not as intensely. I like to spray it again during the day.

I find the appearance of the bottle quite casual & stylish.

I like to spray 3-4 times to achieve a real freshness kick :)

Well then, let’s spray and tell naughty jokes ;)
