Subversion
They stood around in the courtyard in their grey felt robes,
again, one leaning against the other, in silence,
waiting.
The walls of the houses were grey, as were the shops of the
Windows, the frames and the doors. Grey were the pavement
and the small walls, the benches in front of the grey parks-
areas and grey on grey the lettering on the prohibitions-
describe. Grey were the tubs in which grey trees
and grey was also the exit, which led out
into the wide, gently shimmering grey landscape.
C11 put his hand on his jacket and felt the firm,
round shape of the flacon. All of a sudden he saw it in front of him,
he didn't even have to bring it out. A perfect
Foreign matter. Cylindrical, salmon-coloured or rosè, perhaps
also mauve. He knew many such wonderful colour-
names from the Forbidden Books. And warm he seemed
to be as if a heart was beating inside him.

What carried him, safe and reliable, was a strange
familiar melange of warm spices, a light
sweet breath of kitchen luck and herbal secrets,
from loving baking secrets and old grandmothers

without knowing where he actually was.

Only now he noticed not far from himself M24, which is in

He knew that it was a slightly different kind of magic that made her
uplifted, comparable perhaps with another,
no less powerful fuel. He knew these games-
type of elixir almost as good as his preferred one, the
spicy warm. For her it was this certain, strange
encouraging freshness that she took with her. A freshness,
which at the same time reminded her of her father's shaving rituals,
and which carried something blue-green with it, but in which also
soft golden and ochre scents floated.
And which led them back to long gone
School routes, where the only pleasant thing is a little
red gumball machine. Which was kind of illegal

comforting power of cloves and this not directly
tangible, tender-elegant sweetness, which at the same time reminds of flowers
and reminded me of simple childhood dessert pleasures.
Something powdery-floating was to be something at once
Light and heavy, which had the power to take them out of the

Also not whether something completely different is behind it

She also didn't care much that he

because it sounded so beautiful. And because they were so dazzled
by the colors of the other side. But also because it
just sounded so wonderfully friendly.
And certainly that wasn't an incorrect name for something,
which will always be soft to you as with a soft shutter
opened the access to another world again.
A world that gave you the opportunity again and again,
to get to know someone totally new.
Yourself.

Sometimes subtle differences can be detected. And so they began
to give it names - stone grey, field grey, mouse grey,

and leaf grey.
After every trip to the other side with her double-

self-confident freshness, the something anti-authoritarian, almost
more subversive, they found the gray less mono-

creole fire
"Hey, let's swim!" cried the spices, and plunged headlong into the great cauldron of rum extract.
There they romped and dove, and it wasn't long before a heavy warm-spicy aroma escaped the cauldron, and even faster until the intensely paddling crowd was just giggling and chortling: a good rum has 40% alcohol, after all! And this spice blend was right in the middle of it.
What was an experienced perfumer to do now?
Apart from shaking his head, the only thing left to do was to try to bring order to this spice brew.

I'll try that once, too, only with my own sensory means and the help of the Internet:
So, spices - watch out!
Ginger in the first row; the already aromatic rum becomes so immediately a trace more fiery!
Pink and black pepper: you follow and don't overdo it; spicy doesn't just mean hot and biting! Remember my sensitive nose: pizzling is delightful, biting is not!
Ha, here come some cinnamon sticks swimming up! Good, we need them for sweetness and heat:
fiery heat alone is not all; it must also maintain aromatic depth!
Clove, nutmeg and coriander: you provide exotic flair; but please also without overdoing it.
What is still swimming here in the golden brown liquid?
Laurel and some wood: well, fortunately no pellets, that would be a shame with this precious melange!
You booze hounds stay behind, because now the delicious smelling liquid is poured off, filtered and just needs a name:
"Spice Blend" - how about that?

No, of course it wasn't!
Monsieur Demachy certainly did his job conscientiously and seriously for the Christian Dior brand. After all, his name stands for quality!
And once again, "No!"
I am not drunk! Even as I shivered in the early evening, I thought of the rolls of flab that have been bothering me for months and passed up a "hot chocolate."
Also, as a summer woman, I only have white rum in the house; it didn't feel quite right.

But last Friday I received one of the rich "wish list fragrance packages" from a very dear perfumista and I remembered seeing something warm and spicy in it.
I rummaged and found "Spice Blend" and this feisty scent spirit immediately played me a bit of "theater of the senses."
Thus, the characterful marriage of intense spice notes with the effervescent personality of rum extract quickly became apparent.
If this rum extract is on record as originating in Martinique, all those spicy aromatics will be at home there as well.
The rich vibrant colors of the tropics now emerge before my "nose-eye": ochres, reds and browns appear on the palette of fragrances and make me think of Creole, sensual beauties.
Wasn't this Joséphine de Beauharnais' appeal to Napoléon at the time?

"Spice Blend" feels a bit out of the usual, always a bit serious pattern of Dior fragrances. So much passionate warmth is rarely found in them.
I certainly haven't encountered it before. And so this trip on my "Christian Dior" fragrance expedition will be a detour into the fragrance world of the French Antilles, bursting with life.
And "Spice Blend" is an entertaining travel companion there!
One more spritz and then we'll take off: Bon Voyage!

Spicy
I can understand the Spicebomb association, but Spice Blend can do even more.
Although I already like Spicebomb very much and I even considered wearing this fragrance myself, hehe, I must say that I like Spice Blend even more. Spice Blend smells even more noble and arrogant (in a positive sense).
The spiciness is very pleasant.
Goes in the direction of freshly washed with tart men's shower gel, for real men.
Then a shave and aftershave on the face.

When the employees are annoying again, when colleagues are late and the suit was warm again in the office because the air conditioning is broken, in the evening comfort the soul with rum.

The more I smell Spice Blend, the clearer the image becomes. I like the unisex categorization because fragrances should be worn by everyone who identifies with them, but I actually see Spice Blend more in a man One who knows what he can do, is confident and has little patience for the incompetence of others.

So what's the scent now before I digress again:
Spicy, fresh, slightly sweet.
No unpleasant rum note.
Spice Blend is not a drunkard, but only drinks this noble rum, because he has too much money ;)
Besides, he has to go back to work tomorrow and has no time for a hangover...

I'd love to see a couple of men wearing this.
Some people think this is too mainstream But if I did, I wouldn't like it ;)

Prudent joie de vivre
This bottling was a gift in many ways. I probably would never have tested this creation by Dior, as palatable notes like rum tend not to put a fragrance on my shortlist. But this candidate here is different and I am grateful for every opportunity to be able to check first prejudices.

Spice Blend starts out for me with dry, imposing spices on top of sober, smooth rum. It's as if the colorful essence has been taken from this aesthetic drink and infused with warm, aromatic spices.

The impression of cinnamon keeps jumping into my head, though I'm not entirely sure. There is an almost refreshing spiciness, but it does not become unpleasant at all, but rather well embedded and invigorating.

This fragrance is very nice aromatic with a slight rum sweetness in the background. Noble is a coherent word for me here.

For me, impressions alternate throughout between dry spiciness with the softness of rum as a carrier and then again from a more juicy, fruity rum note with spices as a supporting player. An interesting dance, which makes the fragrance exciting for me.

Spice Blend conveys in my perception a joie de vivre that does not come around the corner with confetti and balloons, but enjoys the fullness and depth of life with a knowing smile.

A beautiful experience.

It was a pleasure to make this acquaintance! This fragrance is definitely worth an encounter.

Heart and nose thanks to Patpow.

What a shame!
Due to the super reviews, I have decided for a small bottle of Spice Blend. All Inkredentien, as well as the descriptions let me hope for an insane fragrance. Unfortunately, my expectations were not met. The fragrance is rather feminine and floral, instead of spicy. From rum and ginger no trace. Too bad!

Not overly similar to Spice Bomb. Both have spices, but Spice Blend is fresher and boozy instead of sweet. Lasts entire working day.
