About life with (perfume) addiction, designers, niches and the normal madness. Oh, and of course about the Light Blue intense. :-)
Moin you crazy perfumos.
we start today times differently, my Paefumeview is further down - if you just want a quick opinion on the fragrance, scroll down. ;-)

I think the "career" as a Parfumo started the same for the vast majority. The first perfumes were drugstore perfumes that you got for your birthday - usually in a box with shower gel. Actually, everything smelled good, after all, the drugstore is full of meaningless, short-lived shower gel fragrances. If you ever got something "special," it was Bruno Banani. People who bought at Douglas were snobs - god were we stupid...or smart? Anyway

Eventually, by chance, I came across a YT video talking about perfume. In my case about JPG Ultra Male. But 75€ for a perfume? Well, what the heck...once you can do it quietly...said, done’. Shortly after that, I was hooked. I watched video after video....my wallet got thinner and thinner - my wish list longer and longer. My knowledge of fragrances ever greater. Today, I know no matter how many perfumes I buy, there are never enough. Time goes by and pay attention in one's environment to what fragrances people are wearing. You smile at Bruno Banani wearers...and suddenly start giving tips and recommending fragrances to the people around you. And giving passionate lectures about this and that fragrance. In addition, one exhorts to the correct application.

"You can't put on a pappsweet perfume when it's 20 degrees!!!" "One million in the office? Seriously?"

Time and time again, you earn quizzical looks and the same responses:
"A fragrance for every occasion, every season? You're nuts, one is plenty."

In order not to seem then completely insane, I save myself after such answers the recommendation to get then Dylan Blue, a Chanel AHSEE or another all-rounder if it should be already only one fragrance. Even though I can't understand today how others can go through life with only one fragrance. Again and again I have to tell myself that most people are not at all like me...and like you, dear perfumos. :-)

But there are still many things that even I don't understand in this vast cosmos.

Let's start by ripping off some perfumes. Why do pleasing perfumes often have such a hard time getting away well here? I have the feeling, the more pleasing and compliment-bringing a perfume - the worse it is rated. But let's just take the bulk of the people out there....the "one million in the office wearers". The Bruno Banani gang. All the normal people. 90% of the people just.

What's their motivation for wearing perfume? Right, it's about smelling good! And what do they do that on? Two things!

"How do I like the perfume?"

and more importantly....

"what kind of feedback do I get?"

Because no matter how well a normal person likes a perfume. If 9 people tell him he smells horrible, he will change perfume.

And this is the crux of the matter. Why are perfumes like La viest est belle, One Million, Stronger with you or Scandal so successful? Because they know how to please. They are all compimentemagnets.
Almost no one (except a niche perfumo) will give you a bad review. But what else do all the perfumes I just listed have in common? Right, they all have a rating of sometimes far below 7,0!!!

Rightly? Not at all - because these perfumes do that for which they were made. They flatter, they please, they bring compliments. But why do they come off so badly? I think it's simply because most perfumos don't classify these perfumes properly. If Armani puts out a loud, sweet fragrance that is meant to please and appeal to the masses and just not the "fine noses" - then it should be judged on those criteria as well.

Because the vast majority of people are not keen on extremely smoky, animalic, oudlastige or strictly woody fragrances. Not everyone wants to smell like urine, ashes or sweat. But these are exactly the perfumes - some of which have top ratings here. Do not get me wrong. This also partly absolutely rightly. Because a Nichenhaus is there to create special, exclusive, unique fragrances. They justify their price by saying that they consider their perfumes to be art. And that's fine, too. But that's not what designers do. Therefore, let's take a stand for pleasing mainstream perfumes. The ratings here are not deserved by many. Mainstream is not a bad thing....quite the opposite.... i still prefer to smell my wife wrapped in that incredibly seductive liquid honey that Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier practices in a vulgar way. :-)

I really love all my non-fragrances. But just as much I like to wear times the quite a few designers who do their thing partly really good. Above all a designer - and thus finally to the actual topic - "Dolce&Gabbana LB intense"

So let's get started: :-)

The bottle: 8/10

Simple and elegant. The blue liquid paired with the frosted glass just screams summer. The sprayer is okay.
The prelude: 10/10

The fragrance starts off so brilliantly. The top note is for me, next to the Allure Blanche of Chanel, the most beautiful that the designer segment has to offer in the summer. A green, slightly sweet tangerine, paired with this incredibly citrusy grapefruit...just a dreamy combo that smells incredibly natural.

The drydown: 10/10

After a short while, the scent evolves into a mineral, aquatic, salty accord that is out of this world. The slightly sweet-citrusy prelude moves more and more into the background without ever disappearing completely. The top notes throughout ensure that the scent doesn't take the complete twist into salty. Nevertheless, the maritime notes are the ones that clearly dominate here. Everyone who buys this fragrance should know that. I wouldn't recommend it as a blind buy unless you like mineral scents. For me, however, clearly THE summer fragrance at all and my signature fragrance in high temperatures.

Durability: 9/10

For a fresh summer fragrance, this perfume has a good shelf life. 6 hours I smell him on my skin.

Sillage: 8/10

The first three hours extremely present and smellable at an arm's length. After that, it becomes more and more skin

Wearability: 5/10

Clearly only in the summer. Its full potential it exploits at temperatures above 25 degrees. Then it also goes everywhere, whether date, office or leisure.

Compliments: 7/10

The perfume works. Especially the top note will provide some positive compliments.

Price / Performance: 10/10

I got the 200ml bottle for an incredible 51,00€. This was, however, luck an offer that you find at most once a year. Calculates for 50.00€ with 100ml 200ml one gets but also almost always somewhere for 70.00€ and that is really super for this quality.
Conclusion: I have found my signature summer fragrance. For very high temperatures, this fragrance is just perfect. I appreciate and love the Allure Blanche of Chanel also very much, but if's comes hard on hard, I prefer to reach for this.
So, to all of you who read from beginning to end.......my condolences.....but......you made it...... :-)

In this sense, hanseatic greetings

Summer, sea, chirping of locusts... oh simply have a nice time!
Hey hey guys, hello and have a nice evening. Today is another mainstream day. Yes, that must be also times, because I find that mainstream smells are not at all so bad. Of course, there are also those whose synthetics smell disgustingly disgusting and make a fragrance appear extremely cheap, but there are also just as many great mainstream fragrances. The only real disadvantage of these fragrances is that they all smell quite similar by now... of course, with so much choice these days it's no wonder. Well, now I've tried Light Blue from Dolce & Gabbana. And that's the Eau Intense Flanker of it. This was my first Light Blue from D&G for men, so I can't compare this fragrance with the other Light Blues for now, but one thing I can say in advance: The fragrance here is pretty good!

Everything looks so great at first glance. The blue color of the bottle reminds me inevitably of the sea and of a vacation, which unfortunately fell this year with me "into the water" and stands also next year due to not existing "escort possibilities" in form of a female society on the dump.
"Well, why don't you take your buddies to the sea?" You could say now. Yes, that could work, but the problem is that some of my buddies are quite idiots when it comes to the sea! :D
Because for inexplicable reasons some of them don't like the sea so much and prefer to go camping in the forest or travel to countries where there are many car tuning events... and everyone else has no time anyway or just go to the sea with their girlfriends.
Aaarrgh... how can you not like the water??? Well, first of all the summer is coming to an end... so I will complain and moan again next summer :DD

Anyway, this scent is quite successful here and could be one of those scents that you could remember for the next summer!

The fragrance:
The fragrance begins with an excellent tangerine-grapefruit mix. Some may not find such a thing so special, but citrus fans might like this combination because it smells fresh and lively. Besides there is juniper, which comes across slightly woody-warm. The summery feeling is then completed by aquatic notes. The synthetics here are present, but not disturbing at all.
It stays that way for a long time. The mandarins seem to alternate in their intensity with the grapefruit (but also smell like lemons every now and then), the woody notes smell great and everything is generally reminiscent of holiday resorts, especially after the aquatic scents are becoming more and more marine, as soon a pinch of salt is added, reminiscent of the sea water or the salty air near the coast.
Later it still smells fresh and maritime, with some warm woody notes in the background, coming from the above mentioned juniper, mixed with slightly sweetish amber. Towards the end, the impression of synthetics becomes a bit stronger, but for me it still remains within a framework that is not disturbing. All in all a beautiful, fresh summer scent.

The Sillage and the shelf life:
The fragrance is not particularly strong, but not as weak as most other citrus fragrances. I think that's good because you can smell the scent for a little while on yourself or on yourself if you're not too far away. The shelf life is okay for a summery fresh scent. It can be smelled for four to six hours until it gradually vaporises.

The bottle:
The bottle is roundish/oval and has a not entirely transparent, milky glass in a bluish colour, and due to the likewise bluish scent liquid everything appears again beautifully strong blue. The bottle arches upwards towards the outside. This is followed by a chrome-plated neck with a blue or turquoise lid. All in all a very nice bottle!

Oooh! The scent's really not bad. It's beautiful for even really beautiful. The summer feeling comes across well and you just feel transported back to summer, actually even more to a holiday resort with great beaches, bright blue sky and sea, lots of fun and such things. The junipers also give you the feeling of hiking in such places, for example exploring the hills and forests of the beaches or close to the beach for a change, while you perceive the scent of plants roasted in the sun and let the ears of crickets roar full. And when you come back to your seat exhausted, you take a little refreshment in the form of small snacks and possibly a tasty coconut drink and then run back into the cool, beautiful wet :)
*sigh* You'd have to be there now, wouldn't you?

So yes, this fragrance has become a summer fragrance that is suitable for all kinds of activities during the day and is worth a test in my opinion!

I am finished with that again and wish you all a nice evening :)

Blindbuy 2.0 - Caribbean Blue
"What does a perfumer do when he can't get into a perfumery anymore?"

Sounds like a joke. But it's deadly serious Honestly, what does a perfume do?

I was looking for one or two new fragrances for the summer and apart from Parfumo, other perfume sites on the net and of course YouTube, there wasn't really much opportunity to find out about potential summer scents that could make it into my collection.

Besides Prada L'Homme, which I had bought blindly on the net (hence Blindbuy 2.0 - Ahaaaaa!), the blue intensive one came into the shopping cart and was ordered without further ado.

Yesterday was the moment of truth and both fragrances were tested intensively and extensively. Once again a really fat sorry to my partner, who now has to support me with fragrance testing in addition to my home office duties. And with me, testing a fragrance has almost something manic about it. Meticulous notes are taken, analysed and compared.

So also with Light Blue pour Homme Eau Intense - For simplicity's sake, I will limit myself to Light Blue Intense, everything else is madness.

When I held the bottle in my hand, I suddenly felt like summer. It was as if I had an ice-cold cocktail glass in my hand, fresh from the icy freezer. It felt really ice cold.
But what good is the glass if I don't like the cocktail?

So: Once applied a sprayer (yes, ok, there were four). And BOOOOOOOOM - it catapulted me straight back to our holiday that my girlfriend and I had taken in February. We were on the Isla Tinipan, which is located in the San Bernardo archipelago.
How? Don't you know?
Don't worry, I was the same way until we planned our holidays. (If you want to skip the excursion, please skip to "AUFTAKT").
Isla Tintipan is located, as already mentioned, in the archipelago of San Bernardo and this archipelago belongs geographically seen to the Caribbean and politically seen to Colombia. From the city of Cartagena it takes about two hours by boat to reach the island. After the rather uncomfortable boat trip there, you will find a Caribbean paradise. A luxury hotel, so exclusive, as I had seen only a few before, white and above all deserted dream beaches, crystal clear water in all nuances what the blue color gives. Far away from the crowds of mass tourism we enjoyed ourselves there for a few days.

But now to:

UPDATE
Right at the first sniff it catapulted me back to the above mentioned island. The scent is truly a blast - that's how I imagine it when my partner furiously blasts a frozen grapefruit twice around my ears (why should you store a grapefruit in the freezer?!).

The prelude is strongly citric, extremely pungent and really icy cold.
A real powerhouse.

As refreshing as an ice-cold, bitter citrus fruit cocktail I treat myself to on a hot day on a Caribbean holiday.
It'll run right into you and won't let go. And you know already - he stays all day long!
HEARTNOTE

Such a cocktail is not something you can drink within a few minutes, no, it is something you enjoy. Especially when it's hot like this.
Meanwhile lounge - "lounges", also such a misnomer - we in the shade. The Caribbean sea directly in front of us. It is still hot as hell But is it the cocktail or the light breeze blowing in from the sea that makes it a little cooler, a little more pleasant now.
In the heart note I feel very clearly the salty air that blows from the sea. Dust dry and yet refreshing.
But I also still feel the ice-cold citrus fruit cocktail, where the nice bartender with the juniper schnapps perhaps meant a little too well. Is that why she smiled at me like that?

In the heart note at the latest, the ambroxan notes now also catch my eye. They are strong. They're present. And they will never leave my side again.
But there are no vibes of a "wild water", I hear the people already ask. No, I'm sure not. But a quite light masculine shower gel freshness cannot be denied here either. Even if the citrus notes and the slightly salty sea breeze will dominate the whole course.

BASIS

The fragrance is and remains a powerhouse. Even after a good 6 hours I still smell the citric and icy freshness of the opening and the tangy sea note from the heart.
But what is this? There are actually woods in there! Br /> But not a whole forest. No, not even a tree More like driftwood. Beautiful. Gentle. Lovely A feast for the eyes like driftwood on a Caribbean beach, the sun slowly sinks into the sea and after a good 8 hours the day comes to an end.
The cocktail is empty, the skin warm from summer, the lips tightened and have become salty from the sea breeze.
And my girlfriend, who runs a few meters in front of me when I leave the beach, wears a wonderful musky perfume.

CONCLUSION

Wow!
I actually wanted to write "Blaues Auge" as the title, but that would have certainly put people off.

It is a perfect summer scent.
It smells of sea, beach and beach party.
The smell is loud, the scent is hard and it is really a powerhouse through and through.

However, because of the synthetic that can't be completely denied, it also comes across a bit "clumsy" and "rough" at times, maybe even has something boorish in very subtle features.

Nevertheless, I can clearly give a buy recommendation.
This blue cocktail will definitely be my blind buy summer companion.

Can't you smell it?!
A certain Mr Fragrance on YouTube made me want to test this DG.
Moreover, it seems to be very popular, which has driven my curiosity even higher.

Arriving at the perfumery, I sprayed the stuff on myself.
Upon opening, I thought, "Awesome!", tangerine and grapefruit were readily apparent.
My nose was so tempted that I could not even imagine bad things.
I was practically on my way to the register to bag the thing before I tilted my head again toward the sprayed-on spot and suddenly realized with a disfigured look and dilated pupils, "Dude, what is that!"
It smelled like a fusion of cat pee and Wc Duck Citrus?
Definitely something quite unpleasant, which made my curiosity recoil.
The lousy smell stayed about 5 hours on my skin and to the sillage I can not contribute much, because my nose was numb.

To be honest I do not understand the hype, but there you see again how differently smells are perceived.
Ultimately, I was glad that I have sniffed again on my skin, because the 60 Moneten I would have thrown out.

The bottle is but quite nice.

Love deeper than the ocean
I'm lying on a beach somewhere in the Indian Ocean. The sun is blinding and I pull my Panama hat deep into my face

I take a sip of my Mai Tai and notice how my beautiful girlfriend crawls my hand through the back of my head and puts a manderine in my hand.

A short time later I notice how her hand grabs mine and pulls me piece by piece into the water full of joy.

The warm turquoise blue water rises only slowly and she jumps into my arms. I am still slightly sleep-drunk from my nap and we almost fall into the water but I manage to catch them before we are completely immersed.

We laugh and I kiss her golden brown shoulder to the neck. Her skin is salty from the water and the closer I get to her ear, the stronger I smell the shampoo she used this morning.

Slowly some wind comes up and the slowly growing waves caress our bodies together with the wind while we kiss each other.

The sky gets darker and we decide to go out of the water. It's late anyway and dinner started a long time ago. The spray rinses some algae. The soft nutty smell accompanies us as we quickly roll up our towels and walk towards the hotel.

We wash up and storm towards the hotel restaurant. Since we are the last, we only get one place on the terrace, which is plagued by the ever stronger wind. I take a look at the beach, individual branches and pieces of wood are washed up. The smell of the damp wood and the warm climate rise into my nose.

Just as we were philosophising about God and the world, my girlfriend asked me what love was. I looked her deep into the eyes and thought for a few seconds when there was a loud thunderbolt and the thunderstorm kept coming towards us.

And as uncomfortable as the situation may be for some, this spectacle of nature fascinates me very much.

After we are the last ones in the restaurant and the waiters are already there for us longer than usual, we make our way to the room. The staff protects the building from the storm and I hear in the corridor to the room how heavy rain dump knocks against the roof.

I briefly stop my girlfriend at the door and say to her "Love is like the ocean. Deeper than we could ever imagine, more diverse than we will ever know and the origin of all life".
My girlfriend looks me passionately in the eyes before we enter the room and smiles mischievously at me. She opens the door, pulls me into the room and when the door slams shut...
I fall out of my hammock in the garden because my girlfriend has shaken me so hard that I get scared. She laughed and told me a storm was coming.

She still laughed because I fell off the mat, hugged me and said that I smelled great again.

At that moment I realized that everything was just a visual dream about Light Blue Intense.

Beautiful, summery maritime beginning, which turns woody-green for hours and ends in an absolute storm.

Citrus enthusiasts will enjoy this fragrance. However, the strong grapefruit opening and musky drydown made this a pass for me.
