"Loukoumaaadeeesss....
...elate na fate Loukoumaaadesss"...Greece in 1977, 1984, 1992, 2000, 2014...so pretty much no matter when...if you're lying (formerly in the sweltering heat, now greasily creamed under a shade) on a beach in Greece...any beach....sooner or later a super crispy tanned guy comes along with properly muscled legs, a folding stool in one hand and a big rectangular Tupperware in the other hand and sells the hottest donuts on God's earth...well...maybe there are also quite good donuts somewhere else...but THEY are big, fluffy, sweet, vanilla, delicious and taste best if you have been swimming in the sea for a really long time before. When you've eaten them, it's best to jump right back in to wash off the fine sugar they're dusted with and to get rid of half the calories by swimming five kilometres...
As a little girl, three or four years old, I once followed such a guy, because I wanted to know where he always gets his donuts from. I ended up in the bakery at a confectioner and watched fascinated, of course I also got what off, who can resist a red curly little girl in a red bikini again...
Do I need to mention that in the meantime, while I was sitting on a chair behind the bakery and gleefully devoured this huge piece, my parents were looking for me in a panic!!!! Um yeah...today I don't really understand that panic, back then...good thing the donut vendor noticed my slightly hysterical father and told him where he could find me...boy did I get to hear something...never mind...it was worth it *lol*

What the scent has to do with the donut? Absolutely nothing. It just reminds me of Greek beach, sun, shimmering salty air...I smell coconut even though there is none in it. The scent is sweet, but not smotheringly sweet, more of the fluffy kind. The cinnamon and sandalwood make it spicy, the cumin I hardly smell and the flowers are discreetly in the background...this fragrance is simply Nivea, Piz Buin, Hawaiian Tropic together...too bad that it does not last long, but at the price you like to spray every four hours again....

Nix fatal!
I love to test perfumes (ok, I'm not the only one here :) ...) The cheaper the perfumes, the better I can do that without a guilty conscience.
This Sultan here has been such a candidate. Sprayed (in summer) and thought: "Yikes, wow, ok, quite spicy, the good. More for colder days." That's true, too.
And. After the first round of spices, which is strong but also very nice, the florals come slowly, until it really melts away into the most beautiful base.
Personally, I have to get over the middle part a bit (jasmine and ylang-ylang are a bit too pungent for me), but why I'm writing this comment at all is the drydown: after about an hour it becomes soo beautiful, floral-woody, warm. It then reminds me a tiny bit (please don't hit me!) of Gucci Eau de Parfum. Sure, it's not perfect like that one, maybe not as high quality, but it's nice all the same. :)

My old recorder
When I was in primary school, I was allowed to choose a musical instrument that I wanted to learn.
I decided to play the simple recorder and for many years I went to music school twice a week with enthusiasm.
Every time I entered my teacher's room, a sweet woody scent blew towards me and when I started playing and inhaled deeply through my nose, this scent anchored itself in my olfactory cells.

At the beginning I perceive the cedar, which dominates the whole course, even if weakened. With time it develops into a sweet creaminess that is simply cuddly and beautiful.
The scent "Sultane L'eau Fatale" reminds me so much of my music school days, because it smells as sweet and woody as my recorder memory.

Quietly turns the pencil in the sharpener
This cedar-sandel combo has for me the same woodiness as Gloria by Cacharel or just Santal Blush.
The pencil is sharpened with the L'eau Fatale but not really blatant, but only a few turns, so that you can delicately continue hatching. The sharpener bits remain on the tartlet as decoration.
Cupcake? In fact, the sweet creaminess that comes with it already makes it a gourmand frontier, too. If there should be a wood-flower gourmand: this is it.
He is not too oversweet, but already very pleasing and both, wood & creamy sweetness also make that he holds well, with rather moderate sillage.

By the way, you do not need to be afraid of the cumin and the jasmine also not, both are also rather delicate decoration.

Femme Fatale by the pool
The look of the bottle is reminiscent of summer, beaches, and pools, but the scent itself is by no means aquatic or marine. This is woody, creamy, spicy, and rich perfume, executed in a soft, sweet, feminine way. Cinnamon and ylang-ylang create an impression of something tropical, coconut-y – but just a light touch. It smells a bit like incense, a bit like an esoteric balm that calms your skin and soul, a bit like the little shop on the corner with wind chimes where they sell tarot and seashell amulets.

It’s very cozy to wear, but it does have this mature feminine energy that is confident, opulent, and enticing. I would describe it as empowering. It’s sexy and seductive, but not in a flirty, playful way – rather in a confident, irresistible way. When she walks by, everyone cannot help but gaze after her longingly, but she doesn’t care. This can be seen as a unisex scent with so much woodiness and spices, but I think of it as more of bold and independent “femme fatale,” so the name is quite fitting. It’s not very similar, but does remind me a bit of the original Poison – same genre and vibe so to speak. A beautiful oriental that I would pack in a copper-colored mystical phial. However, the color of turquoise seems fitting too. I guess the chain of thoughts here is supposed to go from the water bubbles and turquoise-tiled pool to the tanned warm body in the sun.

I must admit that although it sounds a bit strong, it wears beautifully in the summer without giving me a headache, unlike many other perfumes that are supposedly summery and heavy in flowers. In fact, I like it much better in July than in January. Maybe this “pool water” look wasn’t so off-the-mark after all.
