I Am a Butter Lamp

So I went out with the dog wearing Selperniku and my usual eccentric outfit. Outside in the fresh air, Selperniku's sillage is still amazing. But you mostly smell like melted butter. This is probably proof that I have enough self-confidence. I could run into acquaintances, and they would wonder why I smell like clarified butter. Family tester Q put it this way: "it reminds me of the butter lamps in the Buddhist center." She is right. I think this might be because perfume-making is a hobby for Mr. Biebel. He doesn’t live off it, and it’s probably just one of many ways for him to express himself creatively. Therefore, he doesn’t necessarily have to create something that excites the masses.

Tragically, Selperniku smells wonderful directly on my arm when you get your nose really close. Really great. The butter there merges with the juniper, the immortelle, and the fresh chamomile. Heavenly. Nose close - really great. Nose away - butter lamp.

Family tester M cannot share this assessment and generally finds that Selperniku smells like vomit. That’s nonsense. Selperniku is many things, but not sour. I occasionally deal with vomit in my profession and know what it smells like. But you can’t argue about scent impressions. Family tester M would give Selperniku 0 points. At least he didn’t kick me out of the house (like he did with Mukhallat by Montale). I wore Selperniku during dinner with the family, and no one lost their appetite.

As a Buddhist, you can wear Selperniku without any problem at the weekly Puja or other events. You are then a butter lamp among many.

With Mukhallat, the family tester M. was right...
And I think I'll skip trying the butter lamp too.

Thanks for the preview. I really don't want to smell like butter. Amusement and courage trophy!

I really like John’s fragrances because they’re so completely out of the ordinary, but I have to admit... I’m skeptical about this one!

Dear Stanze, you’re really funny. : ) I know I’ve been smelling butter the whole time too. This note is the common thread in January Scent Project. The whole series is - if you’ll forgive my judgment - just bad. Or at least for me...

Hahaha.. well, now I know that too! I always had that in the back of my mind, and you’ve freed me from this torment. Butter lamp... I definitely don’t want that! Pokälsche. Namasté!

At least it's not a candle made from yak fat.

Selperniku gets better after a few hours as the melted butter scent fades. The fragrance becomes sweeter and the sillage generally decreases. Still, there are probably only a few people who would enjoy that.

Butter lamp... I'm not sure if that's really my scent direction ;)
But at least you described the fragrance impressively and very entertainingly.

:))) I don't think I want to smell like that, and I'm not going to a Buddhist center. My ML is leaving immediately again (it was in there because of the chamomile).

Damn it, I find all scents of butter so disgusting. I once rubbed my feet with ghee for Ayurvedic sleep support and ordered butter tea at a Tibetan restaurant, politely drank it all. I'll be dealing with that in my next life.

I found it intriguing too. But we seem to be quite alone in that.

I believe that some things really don't belong in fragrances, especially food. Chocolate, caramel, and coffee might be okay, but I love fresh toast with butter and can't stop eating it, yet I don't want to smell like butter. But your comment was delightful! :-)
