The Powder Cloud and the Snuggle Blanket
So!
Here I am, it’s evening, I’m looking at the main page of Parfumo and I’m about to introduce you to another fragrance. Meanwhile, I’m annoyed that I still haven’t baked any Christmas cookies… but I calm myself down again, as I have some small (and colorful!) gingerbread cookies here that taste very delicious. Plus some tea (yes… this time just a simple, boring black tea instead of one of those winter/Christmas varieties with sometimes adventurous aromas like guava chili or baked apple :D) and it’s once again a little celebration :)
Ohhh…. I almost forgot to open the next door of the After-Eight Advent calendar… hmm, let’s see,… today is December 5th, so the fifth door must be opened and… that makes it a rather bigger celebration! Ah, December is just such a wonderful month :)))
So I have to introduce you to a great fragrance: White Edition - Light Powdery by Gritti. The term “White” fits well in December, even though it will unfortunately only snow a little in January or February… no matter… in any case, one can expect a powdery scent from the name, which hopefully is also beautifully soft and delicate. So let’s get started!
So… now it’s time to wait. For my part, I hope that the scent remains as it is, but I can already sense ylang-ylang and hope… that it doesn’t turn out too heavy and sultry as it often does.
But for now, it smells soft for quite a while, of iris and jasmine, so the scent remains powdery sweet for a time and smells very nice. However, the iris is already quite intense; I know that some people occasionally write here that strongly powdery scents give them headaches, so one must be careful and see how the scent behaves.
After a few hours, the scent continues to smell as it did at the beginning, thus remaining beautifully powdery and soft. Iris and jasmine are still the main fragrance notes, but it also smells a bit woody now.
Ah, my fears that the ylang-ylang might smell quite sultry later have fortunately not been confirmed, so this scent actually remains very soft until the end, without becoming too heavy or mature. A lovely fragrance for anyone who enjoys pleasantly powdery scents.
The longevity is also very good. I think you can expect about twelve hours, which is fantastic!
Ahh yes, this Gritti fragrance belongs to the category of scents: Spray it on, let it develop, and then settle down on an oversized snuggle blanket. And maybe even engage in a life-and-death struggle with the cat or kitten over who gets to use the snuggle blanket :D
And if you win the battle, you can snuggle up, of course not forgetting cookies and biscuits, just as you must not forget your coffee or tea. Oh yes, you might also want to comfort the cat or kitten, who is probably staring at you with big eyes :D
One or two gentle strokes on the delicate head, and the little ones purr contentedly and lie down next to you,… or on you… depending. Which again means that you won’t get rid of the creature and will have to share the blanket with it. You know, you have no choice and should just make sure that the little ones don’t touch the cookies all the time, he he. This also applies to dogs (by the way, equally wonderful animals!), who might even be more clingy, but cats absolutely have to touch EVERYTHING! :)
Yes, the scent is very, very soft, and very pleasing, as long as the high powder content doesn’t get on your nerves or cause headaches. It is best suited for autumn and winter, and perhaps it could also be used for going out, although it is probably better suited as a so-called “cuddler.”
It resembles other powdery scents quite a bit, but this one has a longer longevity and intensity. I would definitely recommend trying this fragrance!
So then, until next time. Have a lovely evening and go bake some cookies or something! :D

The term “White” fits well in December, even though it will unfortunately only snow a little in January or February… no matter… in any case, one can expect a powdery scent from the name, which hopefully is also beautifully soft and delicate. So let’s get started!
The Scent:
The scent begins with a wonderful, powdery cloud that smells sweet and also has a creamy effect alongside the powdery note. The sweetness comes from jasmine, and the powdery creamy cloud is created by the iris, which always appears very gentle. Light floral notes (aside from the iris) round everything off, resulting in an excellent top note that you want to spray on again and again. So… now it’s time to wait. For my part, I hope that the scent remains as it is, but I can already sense ylang-ylang and hope… that it doesn’t turn out too heavy and sultry as it often does.

The Sillage and Longevity:
The sillage is surprisingly intense for a powdery scent. Often, such a fragrance starts off intense and develops a large powdery cloud at the beginning, but this usually fades quite quickly. Here, it takes much longer for the scent to weaken, which is good, as it remains longer and better detectable. The longevity is also very good. I think you can expect about twelve hours, which is fantastic!
The Bottle:
The bottle is shiny white, cylindrical, and ends in a dome, where the gilded cap sits. The brand name and logo are visible in gold on the bottle. It’s nice, but as I already mentioned with the White Almond, I find the rectangular bottles from Gritti much more beautiful. Ahh yes, this Gritti fragrance belongs to the category of scents: Spray it on, let it develop, and then settle down on an oversized snuggle blanket. And maybe even engage in a life-and-death struggle with the cat or kitten over who gets to use the snuggle blanket :D
