Germany smells Modern and expansive
I have been Traveling to Germany very often because of my job , mostly to Munich and Frankfurt and one time on Christmas I mentioned the very special scent that was everywhere around in a Munich Airport , should be a store room perfume or maybe any cleaner .
Also this scent I have catches in some stores here and there .
It was somehow very clean industrial but also very elegant and modern , this scent was making my day and improved the self confidence somehow .
After a few years I was not Traveling to Germany anymore and forgot how does it smell , actually I didn’t remember it at all until one day I was gifted a decant of Babia frm my friend and without knowing the brand at all (had no idea it was even German) I immediately remember the Germany , imagine how surprised was I when discovered it’s a German brand .
That’s why it smells to me absolutely like Germany :
Modern , Clean , Industrial , Complicated and very Elegant and expansive , like a business woman or men , dressed in expansive grey suit and white shirt Traveling in business class with only his / her Mac together.
No smiles , no sweets , no gourmands for my nose .
Gorgeous longevity and projection ,
For sure will wear on business meetings and for Traveling .
Beautiful and doesn’t reminds me anything in the market

The Chic Brazilian
As a Brazilian, I must admit that finding a fragrance with this name in Germany is very flattering.

Bahia reminds me of one of the most beautiful corners of Brazil, a wonderful city that I know very well.

While many ladies in Germany are caught up in "Cheirosa" fever, I find Bahia to be more fitting for the image of the wonderfully scented Brazilian.

During the day, the Brazilian naturally smells of creamy coconut, sweet fruit, beach, and sea. But not in the evening... In the evening, the Brazilian dresses up, puts on the shortest tight dress with the highest heels, and wears... Bahia...

The scent is strong, metallic, and feels almost old-fashioned to me. A spicy note is immediately noticeable upon spraying; I would say, cinnamon yes...

And, at least to my nose, the flower... magnolia, so familiar from my childhood... That's how my mother smelled when she went out in the evening...

This magnolia truly smells Brazilian, and perhaps because I know it so well from the past, I don't recognize anything else. The magnolia remains prominent, even after hours of wear. There is something fruity in the mix, but only after I read something about cherries could I actually detect it.

I can absolutely relate to the comment about hairspray. I don’t know many fragrances, but I immediately had an association during the first test spray: White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor. Accordingly, one can sense H/S, but Bahia is overall a bit rounder and easier to wear for my taste. At least on my skin, the party Bahiana becomes softer after about an hour, the heart gentler (perhaps the almond?) and stays relatively close to the body for several hours. I can indeed faintly perceive the DD on my clothes the next morning, depending on whether I oversprayed again ️

Well, there’s no need to discuss the temperament of a Latina, and overspraying fragrances is part of that temperament.

One thing is for sure: I only wear this scent when I feel like it, and therefore my 10 ml travel size will probably outlast me.

Maybe there are more Bahianas here?

Best regards

Cherry? Almond? Not at all!
I seem to be the only one who can't detect the cherry at all. That's absolutely a shame, because it was precisely this note that made me buy the perfume. Instead, when I wear it, a completely different picture emerges.

Imagine you are sitting on a terrace on a summer evening. The cocktail you are drinking is sweet and almost sticky, without the refreshing citrus fruits and berries.
The air is still very warm after a hot day, and it doesn't feel like it will get cooler anytime soon.
All around you are bushes and trees with white and yellow blossoms. Jasmine, Tiare, Ylang, and a few others whose names I don't know - all mixed together and intensely piercing. The resulting cloud of fragrance envelops you from all sides and doesn't let go.
Across from you sits a man. His perfume is ultra-masculine, with clearly recognizable spicy notes. Completely inappropriate for the season and the weather, yet incredibly attractive.
The mix of the flowers in the barely moving air and the perfume is everywhere - in your nose, on your skin, in your thoughts. It is enchanting and overwhelming at the same time. Almost stuffy.

Do I want to linger in this cloud? Maybe. Briefly. Just briefly....the desire remains unfulfilled, as it lingers around you for hours. Therefore, I have no open questions regarding the H/S. Only about the absent cherry.

Vacation in a Bottle
During my visit to Frau Tonis in Berlin, the cherry note was the most prominent when I was sniffing, but today when I sprayed it, a different picture emerged, as it simply smells like vacation :) My still inexperienced nose can't quite differentiate the various notes yet, but the fragrance is slightly sweet, not too heavy, lifts the spirits, and keeps coming back to the nose. It could become my summer favorite. It is made by Lehmann.

For me, it's a cherry with amaretto and a hint of cinnamon. Quite synthetic, cherry-like, almond-creamy, marzipan-like, nutmeg-spicy.

The cherry is completely out of control here. It wears a hairspray helmet and has lemongrass behind its ear, leaning more towards fresh-fruity-synthetic than sweet.

A sillage from here to Meppen, lasts like Pattex. Cinnamon-spicy orange blossom grater. Not subtle. When you want it sweet-woody to pop.

Beautiful.

Cherry kisses cinnamon almond - a truly beautiful fragrance composition from Lehmann, but due to its sweetness, it's more suited for women.

Starts with beautiful cherry and cinnamon. Then it becomes spicy, bitter, and smells very masculine to me. On a man, it must be totally attractive.

Not a bio cherry, natural from the tree, but an industrially processed Amarena with a pinch of cinnamon. The top note gets me tipsy.

I may be the only one here, but to me it smells like Reflection Man. It's definitely nice, but nothing really new.
