The elixir of life that put an end to guilt
Dramatic sounds disappear into the biting cold of the night. Sounds that spring from a dark brown violin, whose heaviness tells of a sad sadness. First timid, quiet sounds that suddenly pick up speed, as if their only aim was to escape the frosty sub-zero temperatures. Vivaldi's winter. An all-encompassing sadness whose beginning is based on a tragic guilt and thus continuously takes its course. Crushing, like the weight of a gigantic stone on innocently blooming daisies. Destroying everything. No light shines nearby, only individual flames burn in the blazing nowhere, far removed from any real existence. The hellish tunnel continues to spread, dark and invincible.

What would she give for a sparkling glimmer of hope in her utterly discouraged being? What would she give for a few meagre gestures of love and forgiveness in this emptiness crushed by loneliness? What would she give for a bright spark of light in this all-consuming world consumed by darkness?

Time takes its course and changes fundamentally as if by magic. There it is. The patch of earth, illuminated by single bright rays, far away and yet so close. Velvety expanses, violet tones that create joyful sounds. Vivaldi's spring, those gentle tones of the allegro that can even rouse bears from their hibernation. The burden disappears as quickly as it once crept in. From here to now. The elixir of life is there, waiting to be tasted, to become salvation and wholeness. The elixir that symbolizes forgiveness.

About the fragrance. Even if individual opinions differ greatly from mine, I will stick to my own. This fragrance here is the elixir of life par excellence. Because this elixir here is joyful, graceful, dense. Guilt (Guilty) may once have been at work, only to rediscover itself again in a not exactly harmonious way. With this fragrance, the days of guilt are over and are replaced by the elixir of life and the proverbial forgiveness. Once sprayed on my wrist, it immediately enchanted me. The top notes are supposed to be citrus and floral, but what hits me is creamy marzipan. I love it. The base stays with me for almost 24 hours. Pleasantly warm essences that are earthy, woody and gourmand at the same time. An absolute dream. Since Rush, I have found my way back to the house of Gucci after 24 years.

The elixir of life has its price. Well, I'm turning 50 in a few weeks, so maybe I'll treat myself to this expensive flacon to celebrate. Merry Christmas, my dears.

"Forgiveness is love's greatest task - and its greatest risk."

The downfall of the House of Gucci
Clearly leaning on the current series, from Netflix, as far as the headline is concerned.
But not even the series I find exciting, let alone the scent.
The book I like for it the better (The Fall of the House of Usher
Short Story by Edgar Allan Poe) and as so often, things are not presented as original as they should be.

I do not know for the life of me what Gucci has produced here, because it is so unimaginative, like so many new arrivals, from the designer houses. Yes I am lately constantly, at nagging, except perhaps at the new fragrance of D&G. That was namely quite alright. But this one is a cheek. Especially for so much money. That can some usual brands better and for much less money. Too bad actually, because Gucci had in the past quite fragrances that made fun and that you wore with pleasure. Guilty was dazumal my Gierlieduft, have emptied several bottles. Even today I find him beautiful, but have become more demanding. I think you know what I mean.

This fragrance here smells like the quite a few 10€ Bipa fragrances - artificial, sugary, with flowers, überschmissen. Clear, pungent prelude, which carries so much violet, which is already droning. Rose that spreads all over, while being as artificial as a rose from AliExpress. Creamy underdrawn, with an indefinable cosmetic note. Vanilla sugar dusted, sinks into warm, damp earth. For a long time there is nothing, he smears oily before him, spreads inconsequentially on the skin, before he gets another truckload full of artificial flowers over it.

The fragrance itself makes no course, has no depth. He smears before himself. Creeps therefore, like a newborn cat, which is not yet good on its feet.
The durability is pretty lousy for an elixir, the sillage as well. At the flacon I can also not enjoy. Fits certainly well on the dressing table of a 14 year old. Sorry to the lovers but that was the first association, to the flacon.

Well, what else should I write? It is actually all said. Once again a grip in the toilet, with me. Inside I would have been happy, because it is just a Guilty and which evokes a lot of memory, but this one is just unfortunately quite ungelungen.
