Dark chocolate to go
One of the few fragrances that make it hard for me to write a concrete review is Sound of a Ricochet. For me, he is so much, and yet only one thing.
Spraying it on already starts with a decent amount of patchouli: dark, sensual and mysterious. The warmth of patchouli is accompanied by vanilla and tonka bean at the same time. They give at this point a small ray of hope in the dark, like the candles that flicker gently from autumn on my sofa table.
A light sweetness sets in, which is by no means sugary. Rather, a beautiful plain chocolate bar, which slowly melts on the tongue. The sandalwood joins gently in the structure while anise gives me the last kick. Like a little tickle in the belly. Anise makes the difference for me.

I like the way the scent emanates. He is there, he is also perceived. But he does not burst the rahmen. He does not enter the room in front of you. If he then becomes close to the skin at the end of the day, the vanilla with patchouli in the mix comes once again very gently around the corner.
Who is looking for a patchouli fragrance with even more Wumms should look at Patchouly, which is for me the stronger number.

An absolute plus for me is the bottle. Floraiku delivers with each 50ml bottle a 10ml travel bottle. The large decorative "lid" can then be converted into a case for just that. And that is really great in the hand.

For me, a successful all-rounder fragrance that each sex can wear. In the summer he works especially in the evening very well, but I am now looking forward to the cold days with him.

Shooting in the pastry shop
Actually a funny comment to "Sound of a Ricochet" had been planned for days as a newspaper report about a shooting in a pastry shop. Maybe a bit à la John Wick, just of course without bloodshed. The only victims were to be bags filled with vanilla and tonka beans that were stored in the confectionery, burst at the stray ricochets and olfactorily reflected the very scent of "Sound of a Ricochet" that eyewitnesses and nose witnesses would report. So this eau de parfum sniffs - like an oversized packet of baking powder with vanillin, just in good condition. The sandalwood smokes in the background. Beautifully balsamic, powdery, sweetish, soft with a light dash of high-proof and absolutely pleasant.

Given the current situation, that there was once again a real shooting with real victims (and such a shooting was guaranteed not only in the so-called land of unlimited possibilities), I would put this commi back in the poison cabinet and only publish the fragment of a draft. The name of the perfume was there to play with the theme, but unfortunately reality caught up with me again.

But that should not stop me from writing that "Sound of a Ricochet" is a great vanilla tonka bean scent that deserves more attention.

Tonka dominant. Very enjoyable fragrance, but it's been done before. I can't justify the price point.
