Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Bianca Guerlain 2013

Do you know the feeling when your mood is no longer in the cellar, but almost in hell?

That's how I feel on the day when Nerolia Bianca and I should get to know each other.

It's the day of my long-planned vacation that I've been looking forward to for a long, long, long time, until an event should cloud my joy.

But I will be honest with you: at the moment I am even more sensitive, even more jealous, even more vulnerable than usual. Not to mention being annoyed by the fact But also the ostrich-bird tactic doesn't help on some days.

Anyway - when I'm finally standing at the airport on my vacation, I already have my list of perfumes that I want to try out at duty free in my hands.

The summer edition of Light Blue Italian Zest is even more lemony and fresher than the original and I'm struggling to take it with me. When I smell my wrist I have the feeling to have fallen into the pool and to drink a fresh lemonade. He'll be on the watch list.

But also Limon Verde by Guerlain is so lemony, so fresh, so refreshing that my hand always reaches for it again. But in the end he doesn't convince me. I fall a little in love with Dior's Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, mandariny in the beginning, fresh, fresh, fresh and then powdery and almondy-like in the end.

But when I then see Nerolia Bianca in the offer for 40 euros, I reach out blindly. Because Neroli was already at the Yves Rocher classic Secrets de Essences Neroli my creepy kryptonite for spraying and that in the hardest time of my life.

Can Nerolia Bianca also give me super powers? I'll try it out and spray...

It is as if a golden transparent veil in the shape of a beautiful orange blossom dress envelops me.

It's so incredibly soft and cuddles up to me - in a clean, almost erotic form, which however nestles up to me so slowly that I allow it.

Not like with the orange blossom with Love Chloe, where I just feel hardcore powdered, almost femme fatalemäßig and lasziv made up and at the end of the musk ox with a sledgehammer on the head a tongue kiss wants to talk me up
No, it's also not like Chloe in Love, although the Petitgrain and Neroli show a slight similarity in the beginning.

Whereby Chloe in Love develops with the typical detergent note and the amber finish.

The difference is that with Nerolia Bianca the ending of the Love Story also remains beautiful. A clean, slightly sweet, noble powder that stays soft and does not choke at the end, like a Boa Constrictor. No, it is a soft powder which remains light-flooded until the end and embraces, strengthens and gives good mood, as well as inner peace.

I must somehow think of Charles Bukowski's words when he said that if you want to clean up, always start with your own heart. Hmm... How true and how much Nerolia Bianca reminded me of all things when I finally came to rest after all the inner struggle through him.

It is almost as if through Neroli I overcome my own inner handicap and find my way back to myself. As if I realize that no critic and no external circumstances can harm you if you have no enemy in you and keep your inner peace and faith in yourself.

Because remember that at the end of the day there is one person with whom you spend 100% of your time, who you like and whom you should make happy - yourself.
