Dollhouse scent!
There I am sitting with my 5-year-old daughter in front of the dollhouse at her grandmother's. A beautiful doll house. It's all handcrafted. Six rooms, each a jewel in its own right. A dream for all who like dollhouses. One of the kind that are not really child-friendly because the ingredients are all antique and precious. The table is filled with a tiny butter dish and a dreamlike little romantic cake. A chandelier (which of course also glows). A nostaglisch-beautiful bedroom. Grandma's a wonderful grandma. And calm enough to open her dollhouse to her grandchild. And my daughter is very careful. She is happy about every visit at grandma's. Then the transparent protective wall in front of the house is removed, she gets a stool, climbs up to be able to play in all the rooms and always asks for support when playing in the doll's house. This time I had the pleasure. There a very pleasant scent blows out of the doll's house bathroom - which is nostalgically nicely equipped with mini toothbrushes and cups, a wash bowl and an emptied Chanel N° 5 Extrait bottle (still the 7 ml). It couldn't have been the empty Chanel bottle, that was obvious. What's that smell? It's too quiet and soft for Mon Guerlain. The lavender note is missing. I mean, besides the slightly sweet (not sticky!) Marshmellow note, I notice a hint of almond. In colours, a pink, coloured scent rose into my nose. Bright pink. Very round, without corners and edges. And yet somehow special. There's nothing stinging your nose. I looked at my daughter questioningly. She understood and put a sponge under my nose. "Sprayed Grandma!" Good, good, good. We played very happily for a while. One of those Sunday afternoons where it rains outside and it can be so cosy inside. When I said goodbye I was given a sample of Princess by Kilian. She got it when she last went shopping at Douglas. Kilian at Douglas, I thought. That's odd. A few days later I was on a business trip to the capital. My way back crossed Friedrichstraße. I was looking for Kilian at the Lafayette. But Princess (I abbreviate, the title obviously follows the book trend, according to which book titles become longer and longer in the meantime...), Princess was nowhere to be seen. But a very friendly advisor enlightened me. Princess was created exclusively by Kilian for Douglas. Just like the other three fragrances with these round flacons, with the spray head in the base. So I could have tested this fragrance at any Douglas store. On the way to the main station two branches crossed my way. I got on the train with a Princess bottle in my pocket. Admittedly the ugliest and most impractical bottle in my collection. My little daughter was wildly delighted and fell asleep that evening with the words: "Mom, I want to smell like you" A compliment for every perfume-mama. On special occasions - like Papa's birthday party - she currently celebrates with a little splash of Princess on her wrist. I like the pink healing world scent - on Sundays, when it rains outside and everything is fine inside and we can get lost in the doll house world.

I Need A Prince To Be A Princess!
It was only a year ago that I discovered this fragrance in the perfumery. I liked it, but whether it will remain so in the long term, I could not know. I'd have to take it out for a walk more often. Should I buy it?
Nah... too expensive, bottle too clumsy, and that name... What should I say if someone asks me the name of my perfume? "I don't know. The name is so long I can't remember it" would probably be one of the less embarrassing possible answers. So I only complained to my husband about how such a great fragrance can be so spoiled by marketing alone and let the matter rest.
...
A few days later my husband gave me this perfume. And I carried it around. And I loved it. A good mood fragrance full of young light-heartedness like a visit to a carnival. Hands up, weekend. A sweetness restrained by spice. One of a kind.
...
A few months later it was used up to the last drop. What? Empty so soon? Is this a post-purchase candidate now?
Nah, Sillage too weak, durability too short, and: this name...
...
Last week my husband surprised me again with IDNAPBMSTBAP (oh man, not even the abbreviation is usable). But I was so happy!

Fluffy pink marshmallow clouds.... Gorgeous!
I have yes mentioned in my last review to Reminiscence Dragee that I can not get enough of marshmallow fragrances at the moment:D
My grandfather had recently treated himself to the Kilian Black Phantom because he think he had never smelled such a good men's fragrance;))
With the purchase of BP he was allowed to select a two Müsterchen, he has finally decided for the Kilian Princess and Moonlight in Heaven Princess he had chosen for me because the seller my it is a beautiful marshmallow fragrance and also my grandfather knows of my current marshmallow fragrance obsession:D
I was very happy about the little gem because Princess was already a little longer on my watch list:))
I have decided that I wanted to test this little treasure together with my grandfather because his opinion is always very close to my heart:))
As I decided, we tested it together this morning and both I and
as well as my grandfather floated on cloud 7 :D
The fragrance...
already when spraying on was the most delicious and powdery marshmallow note DA!*.*
More beautiful can not begin for me a fragrance:))
I have also infected my grandfather with my marshmallow obsession since he was also immediately thrilled by the fine start.
Although nowhere is anything written/mentioned about a rose, I smell the same rose note as in the Kilian Love don't be shy and this rose note drives me crazy every time because it is so deliciously syrupy.... But with time the rose becomes beautifully powdery and subtly creamy.
Ginger I smell now not at all on my skin the tea note but all the more intense.
The tea note has surprised me admittedly but very positive;))
The tea note gives the fragrance a pleasant freshness, also you can wear through the tea note because fragrance wonderful in everyday life.
The marshmallow note as already mentioned at the beginning is the presenteste but also most intense note in the scent (I personally like that very much;))) ) but despite the intense presence, the marshmallow note is never penetrating or too much on the contrary, it becomes nice and creamy and milky with time.
The durability is mega, but the sillage against it rather weak...
In my opinion, this fragrance is very suitable for sensual moments for two or even for a date since the is very good smellable during an embrace;))
My grandfather thinks that Princess is a very feminine as well as a very noble marshmallow fragrance;))
The only difference between Princess and Love don't be shy is that the Ldbs orange blossom + tuberose as well as the marshmallow note strongly dominate in the scent.
Princess is pure pink marshmallow with a tea and rose note but in the course of the fragrance from time to time softer and then only fluffy marshmallow remains.
But I must also express a great praise to Kilian because, many marshmallow scents smell unfortunately very synthetic and cheap but Love don't be shy as well as Princess are, in my opinion PERFECTly made marshmallow scents!

Marshmallow fragrances that are addictive and still smell so noble and sensual pure!
I am mega excited but also happy and grateful at the same time such works of art or better said such treasures to have experienced as well as to be allowed!:)))
Thank you Kilian Hennessy:))
I do have one question though... Since I have fallen in love with this perfume Princess, I have not yet dared to buy me a bottle of it because I'm afraid that the bottle because it is upside down could leak.... Or that the spray head could be under pressure because it is upside down as already mentioned.... Feel free to share your experience as well as thoughts and opinion with me because I am very interested ;))

Come on Barbie, let's go party! Ah ah ah yeah
Come on Barbie, let's go party! Ooh woa, ooh woa

Oh I was disappointed at the end when I tested IDNAPBMSTBAP. Normally I love fragrances like whipped cream, marshmallow etc., if they go well with the other fragrances!! e.g. Dolce & Gabbana pour Femme Intense or Just Cavalli Gold for Her I found great with the marshmallow note in it.
Delicious and not too synthetic-sweet.

IDNAPBMSTBAP has a very nice start, despite ginger, which I don't like in food, tea or perfumes (be careful with colds, ginger tea with fresh lemon slices in it helps super, I make an exception). Mixed with green tea (I don't like tea in scents either. I am a demanding person...) This scent is pleasantly sweet.
Marshmallow doesn't come directly to the surface with me, only a slightly sweet breeze resonates at the beginning.

After about 15 min, I am a bit confused, sniffing my wrist and with question marks in my eyes IDNAPBMSTBAP (God how stupid, but I certainly don't write that out) suddenly becomes extremely!!! synthetically sweet. The great mixture disappears and what remains is 100% marshmallow. It's like smelling a can of fluff. (Bought 1x and then never again..It is not suitable for on bread anyway, if then already with the spoon or on a cookie :D)

The marshmallow note is getting violent and so is the Sillage!? I'd rather smell a bag of marshmallow. They don't knock me out as much.
On the way home in the car I get sick, although I wanted to get a bag of gummy bears for the evening after all. Hah! Calories saved ;)

Conclusion: The beginning is really nice, but honestly nothing special. All those who have it and like it are welcome to have it, but please not in the middle of summer and please only one sprayer when I am around ;)

Despite the stupid weather I wish everybody a nice carnival sunday and say three times Helau und Hall die Gail (Said in a small town in the Rhein-Main area ;))

Love at first sight
A colleague wore this scent. As I was walking past I thought: What is that incredibly delicious smell?.
Had to be purchased immediately, of course.
I smell mainly green tea and marshmallow out.
Sweet, slightly creamy fragrance that not everyone wears yet.
I have now been approached about this perfume several times.
I wouldn't give it back so fast The durability could only be a bit better, unfortunately.

In my case, I'm not a prince but I already have my princess. Despite the marshmallow, it is unisex INMHO.

Lovely soft and delicate. The opening is pure realistic green tea with hints of fruitiness. Then marshmallow comes out with a sweet creamy finish

Liked this more than I expected to. Sweet but not overly so on me, some warmth in the florals. Marshmallow noticeable but not overdone.

Gorgeous sweet fragrance, not as similar to LDBS as people say. Must admit that I like the older bottle better than the new one. Recommend!
