Three Peaks
Anise? I rather think of a hint of liquid honey sweetness that quickly recedes, allowing a bright, soapy-floral combination to take the lead. There’s also a watery rose present. Jasmine is less opulent today and more strict. And suddenly, the liquid honey is back. Surely a white flower honey. Unfortunately, I have never smelled Ylang pure. Is that it? The sweetness also reminds me of lily of the valley heaviness. However, it doesn’t really become sweet overall; a bitter-floral note always remains inherent. Last but not least, spices are detectable in the background. Pink pepper and nutmeg fit well.

Three peaks soon stand almost side by side: soap, watery rose, and prickly spice-honey mixture. This needs a moderator. It appears in the form of a creamy something, for which the details of the base (still!) only provide me with clues.

From noon onwards, it generally becomes creamier and sweeter, the floral aspect loses its strictness. Over the following hours, our creamy equalizer from above becomes increasingly recognizable as musk, creamy-clean. The touch of honey is gone. I don’t notice amber, similar to some other fragrances from this provider. By evening, it is practically a pure floral-cream scent. Quite conventional, but well done.

Today's candidate is truly not an olfactory self-starter or even a flatterer in its front half; rather, it is a rather unique brew that, in my opinion, eludes clear categorization. Especially the classic soapy part - which also comes through strongest in projection - keeps all options open. Narcosis is therefore quite wearable for men, but they should like it extravagant upfront and not shy away from the cream of the long finish.

I thank Verbena for the sample.

Misleading
Narcosis, this name is initially unsettling. One expects a scent that puts you under anesthesia. Quite the opposite.

Well, the opening is a bit strict, but it dissipates quickly and transforms into a super pleasant, soft, and lovely fragrance.
I can clearly perceive the Ylang-Ylang, which reminds me a bit of the perfume oils from the 70s that I used to enjoy smelling.
Since then, I haven't encountered this scent note again, no matter which perfume I tested with these ingredients.

I can only faintly detect the anise, but it fits perfectly with the Ylang.
The pepper is only present briefly at the beginning and is very subtle, which I personally really like. Some pepper scents I find too strong, so here the dosage is just right.

The amber is probably only added to support the longevity, but also in a low and very pleasant dosage, as I can't specifically sniff it out.
In my opinion, the rose is added to enhance the Ylang, as I can hardly smell it at all.

At the moment, I can't get my nose away from my hand, as I am so fascinated by this wonderful scent.
The fragrance is very, very beautiful and above all very powerful, so it's not a watery scent, which I really like. Because when I wear perfume, I want to perceive it. And preferably all day long.
This fantastic longevity is definitely present. I already know that I will still perceive it tomorrow. I estimate the concentration to be at least 30%, if not more.

Especially for the cooler season and also in winter, this fragrance radiates a positive aura that I even find somewhat warming.
I feel gently wrapped in a floral blanket.
If you have the winter blues, this scent will definitely chase it away.
Whether the scent is suitable for men is something everyone has to test for themselves. I would also like it on a man. A bit of courage is required, though.
It is definitely worth a test for both genders.

Spice bouquet: Anise and pepper cover the bouquet of roses and white flowers, making it pleasantly subtle and unisex. Lovely!

Congratulations Mr. Staudt, you have created a white flower scent that I really like for a long time. Moderately sweet, beautiful jasmine, top.

A symbiosis of jasmine and ylang-ylang. Rounded off with vanilla, spiced up by pink pepper. So far my favorite MGO. Fresh and well-groomed.

White flowers don't become annoying. Combined with anise, it creates a balanced vacation/beach and feel-good scent. Good!

I'm really not a fan of floral scents, but I have to give MGO respect. A truly successful fresh-floral women's fragrance. Unisex? Nope.

A very fine fresh-spicy floral (magic) scent,
that gently glides into a beautiful
balsamic base.
A truly great fragrance experience!

Exotic summer floral breeze. Caribbean blue sea, white sand. Sunscreen. A glass of water with lemon slices. Instantly lifts your spirits.

Floral-fresh, softly-sweet everyday scent for younger ladies. Not MGO's big hit, but the creamy-balsamic base saves it.

The great combo of anise, pepper & white flowers prevents the blooms from being overpowering. Base is balsamic-amber, moderately sweet.
