All You Need Is Love
Note: As long as the following comment is, it is not the complete text! Because of overlength (yes, I still have to practice that!) I have omitted the introductory chapters to the brand and the name here.
The full commentary I may still publish as a blog (?).

My fragrance life:
Soft and gentle, but with determination, the fragrance seizes me, lifts me up and deposits me prudently and safely in its noble, fluffy cloud. This is very lightly flavored with a strangely abstract or intangible for me, but fine, soft and somewhat sweet spiciness. Smelled close to the point of application on my skin, a shimmering, opalescent, somewhat irritating "reactor core" is revealed: almost ethereal, but not ethereal; almost floral, but definitely not floral. At a distance, in the aura of the fragrance orbit, so to speak, the fragrance caresses me balsamic. It is extremely elegant, supple, restrained, with a slightly cool, abstract, almost infinitely gentle smoothness, partly because the notes and facets that I perceive are so perfectly interwoven. This kind of smoothness gives it a rather slightly feminine feel to my sensibilities. It glows sublimely and steadily; it is definitely present and I can perceive it clearly. It has a certain radiance, but at no time does it dazzle. It appears extremely high-quality and thoughtful. He is considerate, but leading, and in this sense gently determining. And I personally find him already a little seductive; in the background supports him a cautious, very soft animalism (maybe I classify it wrong; for lack of experience I can not express it better).

A little this impression reminds me of the fluffiness of the powdery-fluffy 'Prada Infusion d'Homme'. But instead of its white sheet, fresh laundry, cotton fluffiness and the sometimes on me also something hygienic-aseptic-soft-dishwasher-distant-white facets (which I still find very interesting and often like) it is here a soft purring, very fine sandy and incredibly sensual ... i say "ambric-balsamic animalic"? Quite wonderful. And as smooth as the fragrance seems to me, it nevertheless also has a fine sandy texture.

It is not warm or warming in the classic sense of a winter scent, in said perceived abstraction is also a certain coolness, but this has a comforting and lively effect, like the hand of a mother stroking the forehead of her child heated by the romp, after it has fallen and run crying to the mother, and refueling like the gentle breeze of a light breeze in mild temperatures, when it encourages the body and mind tired during the walk. He is strong without being harsh and unyielding, confident without showing off.

When I pull off the cap of the plastic pocket atomizer and sniff the spray head, each time I am struck by a rapt, almost amorous fascination, and the molecules hang sheer in my nose even after I have left the room again, a long vivid, very concrete memory. How can that actually be?

What kind of mood or emotional state does the fragrance put me in? I feel through him more sheltered and he soothes me, and so I then also look up or I also walk through the world and the day.

Otherwise: the fragrance in its entire characteristic is just immediately there and gives off its gentle but strong light, as I said wonderfully interwoven and essentially without change, so linear. I perceive it quite clearly, but I never found it intrusive or unreasonably loud (development sillage of about "note" 8 initially to 6 at the end).
To the durability I have unfortunately made no notes, but it was good; the fragrance was long skin still perceptible.

Conclusion
Love is a significant key for us humans to experience happiness. Of course, it does not require explicitly this fragrance or any other fragrance from this series or any fragrance at all for fulfillment. But there is definitely a lot of love and dedication in this fragrance, in its creation, and fragrances like this, of which there are so many (and different) in the fragrance universe, definitely convey to us the idea of love in their olfactory way.

The fragrance has conquered me, quite, oh yes! So great and fascinating I find him and so beautiful associations he triggers with me: Would I like to own him?
Apart from the price and the procurement effort that prevent me from buying a bottle, as a next step, a larger bottling would probably be enough for me to be able to indulge in its magic that he works around me again and again, and to wear it occasionally, to get used to him and get to know him even better.

At the moment remains a teensy irritation whether (the degree) of abstraction and the intangibility associated with it for me (which, incidentally, I also feel with said Prada so) and its purity. It is very unusual for me and doesn't fit so well into most of my everyday or life situations. It is still a foreign world for me. A bit too out of my world, maybe? Just far away, a seducer from another galaxy. I'm still missing a bit of the home feeling. With amber and musk, I'm also dealing with two scent worlds I'm not yet familiar with. I suspect that other, perhaps not so tone-setting notes have been integrated here. If not, I would be delighted about the great, multi-faceted complexity of amber and musk in the interplay!
Perhaps I would also be bothered by its linearity in the long run, similar to my Prada Infusion d'Homme experience.
And so *I* would rather wear it in moments that I have *for me*, be they during the day or in the evening, but this across seasons.

So I am left with the knowledge of the existence, the gratitude that a ray of light from this alien world has reached me (and in this course also a big thanks to the sample donor!!), the dream of ebenjener world, of which I would like to get to know the other fragrance planets, and not least the comfort that there is also a lot of good (and a lot of love) in more accessible galaxies for me to discover. And who knows - maybe one day once again a new alien ray of light lands quite unexpectedly on the tip of my nose ...
