Sensations. Or the scent that is always more beautiful on others

I will never forget when my former roommate had her birthday party. It was a glittering party and there were numerous presents. One of them was a Flacon Sensations. She always used to dispense her perfumes very generously. Like this one. Did it bother me with some scents, she could have bathed in this one and I would still have run after her with huge eyes full of pure enthusiasm.

After a tender-floral start Sensations catapulted me directly into the land of milk and honey. So here we don't have a food-safe gourmand, but a wonderful, delicate and yet present, very feminine perfume. The sweetness is also moderate, but this fragrance was Cockaigne for me, just as I imagined it would be. Soft, cuddly milk notes are underscored by sweet, full-bodied amber tones. The cereal note is wonderfully delicate and mild. Quite different from CdGs Sticky Cake or Lostmarchs LANN AEL (which I also love). No, Sensations is, despite these notes, simply much more perfume and yet so fantastically sweet and cuddly. I loved this fragrance. One thing was quickly clear to me. I had to have this great fragrance too.

After a few weeks her bottle was already used up. So I got a 30ml bottle of it, applied it for the first time and was honestly a little disappointed. As the wearer, I couldn't even perceive this phenomenal, cuddly symphony of notes. Yes, the fragrance was pleasant, subtle, cuddly, but as a wearer I first of all noticed the woods and a subtle creamy note. This divine sweetness was almost completely missing. What had happened? At some point I used up my bottle and Sensations was forgotten
Forgotten, until I noticed it again years later in the hospital on a nurse. Exactly as I had met him on my roommate. Kawoom, and I was immediately in love again with this scent.

Yeah, Sensations is mean. This scent always smells much nicer on others in the projection than when you wear it yourself. Recently I discussed with dear Nickhun2 about Sander fragrances and remembered my story with Sensations, because she also wrote that she likes to perceive this fragrance on other wearers. Yes, that's right. I can sign that exactly like that. It only unfolds its potential if you don't wear it yourself. Sigh I've never experienced this with any other scent before.

Thank you for being here.
Thanks, Mama! Thank you for being here. I am 24 now, on my way you have accompanied me, always helped me. There are many things I associate with you. There's your warm-heartedness, your gentleness, your sweetness when you comforted me when evil mathematics played a trick on me in the class test, when I only took second instead of first place in judo, or when I lost to Grandpa in chess over and over again at the age of eight. Remember that? I just couldn't beat him.
But there would also be your sense of tact, because you recognize the time when it is called to be present, but you also have the feeling to know when you can let me do it, when you would rather observe everything from a certain distance. And even if you let me do it and let me do it today, you were and are always there.

I wrote that there were so many things I associate with you. One I'd like to highlight. Something very important to me, something I associate with memories.

It's your scent that's been with me since I was five. Were you one of the first people to buy him then?
Maybe.
Has it been changed, for example, so that much of what I absolutely want to get rid of right away no longer applies at all? Maybe.
If the worst has happened, accept all my writings, even if you may not read them, for you have not changed, they will not. I know that, I feel that. Everything I wrote above will still apply to you many years later. Please let it be as many as possible.

Even if this scent that makes you so special has changed as I was told more and more, I draw from what I remember. I draw from my knowledge what this scent might have been like once. This knowledge, this memory will always be there. That's not something I'll forget. But I ignore the new, the changed, because it would be difficult for me to connect that with you. No, I wouldn't want it either. It is the familiar I have been associating with you since earlier days - reminding me of my childhood.

You don't wear it in every situation, not every day, not every hour. Even after all these years, soon there will be twenty of them, it has remained something special for you. Sometimes it even happens that you don't wear it for a few weeks. But that doesn't matter, because as soon as you let it decorate your skin after those weeks, it seems as if you never took it off.
You're not as crazy as I am, you don't order bottlings, you don't have different scents for all four seasons and you don't deal with scents. But you don't have to either, because you know what you have with this small, round sensation, which in the beginning knows how to shine so easily, so floridly, even a little sweetly. It never bothers me or gets on my nerves. It's never exhausting.

Then comes the one without which you would never take your coffee. You know what I'm talking about.

The milk - for you your everyday coffee additive - makes this sweet-sweet nettle flower creamy. At the same time, a somewhat dry, aromatic element, perhaps also with a strawy note, is used. I can hardly really describe grain in its smell, but in the end we both know what it smells like, don't we?

The perfect snugness follows at the end, but already in the beginning it slightly swung along, somehow always announced itself, only to finally extend her arms and embrace you, your surroundings, and above all me. This already beautiful, so creamy, somehow strawy flower now acquires a warm musk sweetness - no - no sweaty musk, no animal. That's not like you at all, Mama.

And then there's the amber, who ensnares this warm sweetness with powderiness. So everything comes together and
that's all it takes, isn't it?

There's only one thing I can say:

Warm-hearted, gentle and sweet you are, never loud, never screaming, happy in the background, but always there.
Thank you. I'll take care of it.
Thank you for being here.

Changed scent pyramid?
The fragrance has apparently been completely reformulated. On the current website of Jil Sander is mentioned as a fragrance pyramid: Head: mandarin, raspberry, bergamot; heart: jasmine, orange blossom; base: (not specified). Since the flowing text speaks of an "oriental scent composition of vanilla and a fruity note", the base will probably contain vanilla. It doesn't say anything about nettles, milk or grain. - I still have a miniature with the original scent and have made a comparative trial. "My" earlier version has a somehow "medical", very slightly sharp note (I always have to think about dentist :_) ...), which balances the sweetness and makes the scent individual. The current version only smells pleasantly vanilla-sweet; I would never buy it. Too bad about the scent!!!! I will be extremely economical with my miniature!

Ode to Silence
The ambivalence of life is also reflected in my fragrance preferences. Sometimes I like it loud and I love my Knowing, Coco or Jil Sander No. 4.
But on some days I don't like being on others' noses and prefer quiet tones. Then I want to be invisible or unscentable?
That's why my hand led me very purposefully to Sensations this morning. Aahhh, long my favorite daily companion for office. Long before perfume. Sizzle..... I can already see this pleasantly cuddly something. Is it the nettle flower? I don't know how it's supposed to smell. But Sensations envelops me. I'm comfortable. AAhhhh, mmhhhh, everything's fine. No trace of hectic (oh miracle and it's just before eight and I really have to go now!!!) He has such a gentle nature, has a decelerating, calming, balancing effect on me - and that with a high degree of coffee abuse in hectic and nervous predisposition! I can't believe this. There's no way that scent could get on anyone's nerves. He waves milky and woody around me, as it were, with a pleasant (not too strong) sweetness. Schööööön.

Meanwhile I am in the office - of course with a blatant delay. And I still perceive it discreetly. The shelf life of creamed skin is approx. 6 hours. If you want more, moisten your hair or clothes with the gentle mist.

Other scents cause sensations, because sensations lack projection and assertiveness.

It is neither spectacular nor outstanding.

But aren't we?

Just normal mediocrity, but nevertheless or precisely for that reason WALLY BEAUTIFUL.

Security in the flacon
Already the first time I tested this fragrance I was afraid, directly from the nose to the brain, department early childhood memories, sigh.
It awakens memories of the lovingly spooned porridge that had to get by with only a few ingredients in order not to overtax the delicate palate. one spoon for mummy, one for daddy, curious hands test it comfortably warm beautiful smeary and sticky.

Of course, I can't take it anymore
but remember in such a way he must have tasted, that tells me at least my inner child, which almost forces me again and again to spray this pleasant gentle scent on As soon as I perceive it switch my synapses immediately to a feeling of security, comfort and relaxation.

So a fragrance has never worked on me and I was surprised myself what fragrances so everything with one can do.
Of course the mush does not stand alone but is still beautifully rounded off in the base with amber musk and woods where I most likely perceive the musk.
The slightly tangy note that lasts relatively long is probably due to the nettle flower, no idea how it should smell.

The durability is mediocre at me about 4 hours and the Sillage rather close to the body but that fits well to the statement of the fragrance. The bottle is simple, not very stable and does not knock me down now.
All in all a soft round fragrance without corners and edges which I like to wear when I
After a gentle veil of fragrance is with which I feel safe.
