Fresh Grounding
With Liebste by Farfalla - it smells of essential oils, yes, but finely rounded and carefully composed. First fresh and invigorating, a wake-up call for the senses, later quieter and softer. Despite its freshness, it has nothing citrusy, even the bergamot sounds different. It exudes an earthy spiciness without being heavy. Feet on the ground and head in the clouds. I like the grounding and warmth, which is likely due to the sandalwood. It is a natural scent where nature is clearly perceptible. As a result, it blends very well with my skin's natural scent, not pushing itself to the forefront but accompanying in a subtle way. Unfortunately short-lasting and with limited projection. This has so far prevented the purchase decision.

Soul Soother
This fragrance is sooo beautiful-
Bergamot and rose provide a fresh and slightly fruity opening, which is neither citrusy nor "edible-fruity," and already has a soft, balsamic quality without being heavy.
Then, through iris and delicate, not too masculine sandalwood and vanilla, even more softness emerges, a hint of honey or rather beeswax, creating a cozy, sunny, rounded, delicious scent.
The vanilla never pushes to the forefront; it simply contributes to making it soft, rounded, and warm.
Swan is a natural perfume that thankfully avoids the usual heavy hitters like
for example, orange, patchouli, jasmine, ylang-ylang. It doesn't smell typically eco-friendly,
but is unmistakably like very high-quality natural cosmetics.
And it is- even for sensitive noses like mine- virtually impossible to overapply; sillage is rather absent, and the longevity on the skin unfortunately leaves something to be desired, especially when you want to bathe in it endlessly like I do... (I'm experimenting with skin oil as a fixative;-)
But still, I give it 100 points and recommend it to everyone who, for example, would find a hint of Armani's golden She enchanting but experiences this one, like I do, as far too intense...
To all those who want to test a honey-golden soul soother in this gray, cold autumn weather.

A beautiful, slightly powdery iris tea scent. Herbaceous, dark, somewhat medicinal, yet still cheerful.
Unfortunately, it has short longevity.

Beautiful powdery-woody tea scent. Of course, like all pure natural fragrances, it doesn't last as long, but it's chemical-free.

A breeze of citrus sparks, subtly floral, envelops like a summer fresh aura.

It starts beautifully zesty-fresh with a hint of flower and fruit.
Herb-spicy woodiness takes the helm.
It’s sandy, no, cedar-y like a pencil!

Hibiscus notes at first, followed by iris and sandalwood, until sandalwood becomes more prominent. Nice, but unfortunately just a short pleasure.

At first, a bit bright green-herbaceous, then light sandalwood. After about half an hour, the iris comes through. Beautiful! VERY - too? - delicate.

Back to the eighties: This is how all the bitter greens smelled. Definitely not my thing. At the same time flat and intrusive, green-demanding.
