Affordable Surprise
Mini golf is to blame. Without it, I would never have thought to go to Douglas to test one of their products from the own brand, which tends to lean towards simplicity.

And indeed: A beautiful scent. I acknowledge the similarity to “Eau de Shalimar,” but not so much to Fenjala - at least not to the (quite pleasant) scent that was included with the body lotion I bought just a few weeks ago.

The fragrance starts light and citrus-fruity, reminiscent of elegant Italian colognes with mandarin and zesty lemon oil, evoking images of the Riviera, fitted dresses, and skillfully tied scarves.

Soon, vanilla strolls around the corner, in a good mood and in no hurry at all. This vanilla has a dry temperament, but also a big warm heart. It stops here and there, has a little chat, flirts a bit with the flower vendor on the corner, briefly sniffs some spices at the spice stand, enjoys meeting friends, jasmine is already there, creamy sandalwood joins the little group and settles in, warm resinous notes soon make their appearance and like to linger.

This is a cheerful little group of friends, now strolling together in the warm late afternoon light over the cobbled historic marketplace of an Italian town, stylishly dressed, elegantly without any effort. They are not sweet, not anymore; they are women, not girls, but they have stayed young and know their effect.

For not a few turn to look after them, sniffing as they pass by and enjoying the airy, warm, uncomplicated scent, and sometimes someone even says, “You smell wonderful!”

A Spicy-Sweet Matter of Honor
When I visit a Douglas store, I usually turn to the few "outsiders" it has to offer. Besides the current "in fragrances" and well-established classics, there is only a small island of true individuality. Usually, "individual" also means expensive, but if you're lucky, you can find something good for cheap...
Not the "cheap" that clings to some "drugstore scents," but the truly quality-good for an astonishing price.
A private label, of which there aren't many fragrances available. But with "Woody Mirage," I happened to spot something that was exactly to my taste and snagged it.
The scent starts almost reminiscent of 4711, but that quickly fades away to reveal a beautifully arranged spicy-woody, soft fragrance composition with just a few floral notes.
With just the right amount of sweetness (at least for my nose), which softly contrasts the woody elements and gently balances the spice. Yet slightly bitter passages dominate the fragrance.
The shifting "moods" in this scent are subtle and almost ethereal, yet they make it very lively and well-meaning agile. And in this lively spice with the discreet sweetness, I believe the Douglas house has reminded us of its beginnings as a small perfumery, where much was still "brewed" in-house to stand out individually from other perfumeries.
A matter of honor for a fragrance house that has now become the "Mecca" of mass-appeal in fragrances and the much sought-after classics.

An absolute surprise: especially patchouli with jasmine and amber delights me here. Subtle and wearable for many occasions: a win.

Creamy spicy oriental that mimics warm skin together in a messy bed on Sunday morning. Base is rather meh, but at this price, who cares.

Reminds me of an amber scent... and a bit of Fenjala... definitely the best in this line. Has that just-showered vibe. Great price!

Spray-on Solero ice cream. Orange-vanilla with a hint of freshness, lovely.

I stand by Eau de Shalimar, but not so much Fenjal. Fluffy, airy vanilla spice over lemon meringue and a compliment magnet.

Such a delicate scent that can reconcile man and woman after many attempts with lavish perfumery desire.

A fresh oriental (oxymoron?) that smells luxurious and is inexpensive.
Definitely give it a try!

Starts fresh, citrusy + clean. Then warm, soft, spicy + powdery with vanilla + jasmine on a woody base. Light sweetness. A winner in price/quality.
