Love Engelsrufer 2016

I have always passed by the brand Engelsrufer because it seemed a bit too esoteric to me, and I can't relate to that at all. But I didn't want to be that way, so I reached for it on the shelf and sprayed Love.

Overall, I tested it on my skin twice because during the first time, I already noticed a subtle tipping note. Unfortunately, this happens quite often with testers in the brightly lit drugstore shelves.

The top note was still nicely mandarin-fresh. Unfortunately, only for 2 minutes. The floral heart note is simply too sweet for me. Artificial flowers dusted with way too much powdered sugar. And this powdery scent actually reminds me of Lacoste Pour Femme. Just in a veeeeery sweet version.

The sillage is quite strong for about half an hour. After that, it quickly loses its strength. In the base, it becomes a bit woody, but still too sweet for me and only noticeable when you sniff directly at the skin.

Unfortunately, this scent is not for me. I would only recommend Love to those of you who are looking for a much sweeter Pour Femme. But even then, it’s not really worth it. Engelsrufer fragrances are quite expensive considering they sit on the drugstore shelf next to Mexx and Co. This could be because they clearly put more effort into the bottle design than into the fragrance itself.

Let’s see if the other fragrances in the line have a bit more to offer.
