Coffee and cake

Here in the old town there is a cute café hidden in one corner. It's called Café Mandelrose and the concept is quite nice. Furnished in the style of a Viennese coffee house, there is (almost) everything with almond and rose. In the morning at breakfast the cooked cheese is refined with rose petals, the homemade almond ice-cream is the hammer and only the rose tea... Hach!

Every time I spray Girl of Now, I feel like I'm in this coffee. The big red velvet armchair almost swallows me, the heavy wall clock ticks, it smells of fresh coffee, cake, flowers and almonds. My heart beats for almonds and everything you can conjure out of them. Girl of Now sniffs for me like an almond tart with crispy crust, under which pears and tangerine jam wait. In addition there is a delicious Latte Macchiato with almond milk or vanilla syrup - the fragrance experience is ready!

When sprayed on, the girl initially appears slightly alcoholic, but this note quickly fades away. Then it gets sweet, gourmandig and nice warm. I have kept the flowery bottle in turquoise and gold especially for the cold season and now, with the beginning of spring, it is as good as empty. Perfect timing!

I think the durability is really great, on my coat I can still smell GoN even after days, tonka bean and almond leave a wonderfully sweet veil on the clothes. Fans of Dior Poison Girl EdT or YSL Cinéma should definitely try this fragrance - you might like it!

I was born yesterday.

Girl of now - I liked the flacon, the name didn't sound quite so stupid, the faded scents are all Nellycatcher. What about the scent, I wondered. I wanted to know for sure: Is this the Gourmand to end all Gourmands? Did Elie Saab reinvent the wheel?
No, he just skilfully remixed. But today this is normal in the mainstream sector. (and not only there!)

Even the top note of the fragrance that I generously sprayed seemed super familiar to me...I had only recently rung it, hadn't I? After some thought, it occurred to me: Black opium. Which I found so meaningless that I didn't even want to think of a statement about it.
After some time there came a new turn, but still sufficiently familiar to me: Alien showed up. Although GON did not perform quite as violently as the true alien, but somewhat more easily, but I clearly smelled extraterrestrial life.
Now it was fruity. Pear, pure, sweet and juicy, bedded on a sea of cashmere. Unfortunately I can't remember where I smelled it before, but I know this combo.
Never and at no time could I smell the almond I loved, the fine tonka bean or my beautiful orange blossom absolute.
That's what the mix of Black Alien plus X thinks.

Only I can't enjoy him because I'm obviously yesterday's.

Marzipan now

Girl of now!... Today's girl.
Ha! That's right! I am a girl or a young woman and I live today, so this must be made according to the name for me. Also the fragrance pyramid reads very appealing for me. Since I got a bottle for around 30,-, I ordered blind without testing it first, after all I am a girl of today.... And not yesterday!
The bottle is really girlishly cute and should remind of a flower seen from above. Well, it's nice to be a girl today. I sprayed something on my wrist and first waved it in the air, so that the first alcohol disappeared directly into the air and not into my nose, which a modern girl doesn't like.
I smelled.... jooaa he is a little heavy and immediately very sweet. I find en quite gourmandig and sweet and notice little of the fruit notes but rather still something of the mandarin. After a few minutes, I'm sure. Yeah, for me, one of today's girls, he smells like marzipan. Sweet, creamy marzipan. Only in the background does something flowery appear softly and quietly.
In that case, girls today smell so?
But I don't always want to smell like marzipan. Maybe at Christmas and when it is very cold, this scent gives warmth. It's beautiful and wearable, but for me there are better sweet and gourmand scents.
Still quite nice and portable.

Girlies of all ages, gather round !

Well, this is also a fine little scent. First, the mildly fresh pear harmonizes wonderfully with a slightly marzipan roasted tone, which should come from the pistachio. A girl's perfume! Of course, you can organize a girls' night until old age, that must come from within *gg*
Afterwards only appears with me an even fruitier citrus, first lighter the tangerine - the hesperides give gas, as soon as the orange blossom absolute rides: and on the back seat also quite soon the magnolia, which gives the ensemble a quite floral character: Elegant, because the almond helps her to soften the effervescence. Regardless of the almond, however, the sweetness diminishes. Freshness prevails - it must be a convertible ride ;-) when now the base note creeps in, may the good heavens know. But I'll keep an eye on it ... I have now Feieraaahmd, as the Mainzelmännchen always so mischievously giggling. Until soon on this screen :-)

Nourishing Milk - Almond & Pistachio

What I was looking forward to finally trying Girl of Now. Almond milk, almonds, pistachio, tonka bean? That sounds like the perfect combination for me. Oh well. I have to admit- after the first test, I was a little disappointed. Today, I gave it a 2nd chance and I definitely find it better on my skin than on clothes. Besides, I had tested too many fragrances before yesterday anyway.

It's a nice scent: very soft, warm, sweet. It smells like sweetened almond milk and caramelized pistachios. Still, I don't find the sweetness greasy. It doesn't necessarily remind me of a dessert- no, the scent reminds me more of a body lotion. Would be fitting for a winter edition called "Winter Care - Almond Milk & Pistachio". Very creamy and full-bodied, but also well-groomed.

I find it quite beautiful. If you like soft and sweet scents, you should be happy with "Girl of Now". In my opinion, it is also very suitable as a gift, especially for younger women who otherwise like to wear fragrances like "Flowerbomb", "Amour", "Black Opium" or "La Vie est Belle".

I like it a lot. I'm still unsure if I really need it in my collection (since "Amour" or "Cloud" give me a similar feeling, but would I get it as a gift, then that would make me happy
