Favorite island
In the summer of 2019 I went on vacation on one of our beautiful North Sea islands. Two days before departure, I received a swap package, lovingly packed with plenty of samples. Since I had little time and leisure before departure to test attentive fragrances, I just packed everything and took it with me to 'my' island.
The Internetempfang there was quite poor, so I dared some 'blind tests', looked at me the fragrance pyramid so not before. With Brooklyn I had serious concerns that it would not fit so at all to my vacation - with the name I thought of traffic noise, of exhaust fumes, of rushing people, dusty streets, dirty backyards; perhaps also of the smell of coffee, which flows from one of the many Starbucks and Co, spices from the Streetfoodtrucks. Overall, I imagined a loud, crowded, smoky, restless scent.
And got the complete opposite. I was so firmly convinced that this must be a mistake. This is by far the only fragrance whose name (in my opinion) so not at all, in no way fits him. I therefore refuse since then to call him 'Brooklyn', and have simply named him after my favorite island. ;-)
He smells like creamy cream orange ice cream with a hint of vanilla, after summer, after a good mood, after 'come down' and dangle in the hammock.
Slightly sweet, damn creamy (musk!!), fruity-orangy-citrusy, yet in no way pungent or tart citrusy. I mean in the base also something nutty to perceive - perhaps walnut or similar.
From the specified flowers I smell little except for a cheerful iris, a great scent progression there is also not. Is me personally in this case but quite right. The sillage does not necessarily slay you, but that would also be out of place here.
This fragrance, combined with sun-warmed skin and the salty sea air.... No, no matter what I write now, it would not do justice.
My favorite summer companion, when I just want to feel good and switch off.
