Krigler reduced by 40%, I had to go.
First up was Lovely Patchouli.
Suspecting that it couldn't withstand my preference for hardcore patchouli, I still sprayed it on.
Nothing.
Just the scent of my warm skin.
A second spray on the same spot, left wrist, pulse area.
Now I smell something. But it's a bit fresh and sour. Not the warmth or softness I expected. When I look at the fragrance notes now, I realize it was bergamot. In the store, they didn't have a list of the fragrance notes, and I couldn't figure out what was so sour coming from the bottle. Since the second spray only produced a hint of scent, I didn't find the acidity (which I usually don't like) unpleasant. However, I didn't like the scent.
After about 15 minutes, the sour note was replaced by something warm and rounded. A mix of leather and vanilla and a very, very delicate patchouli note.
What hasn't changed is the intensity of the scent; it remains very weak, and I can only perceive it when I press my nose against my wrist. Up to this point, I like the scent based on the notes, but a scent that is so delicate doesn't suit me.
After about 4 hours (I had already forgotten that I sprayed my arm), while hanging laundry in the garden, I smell a beautiful creamy vanilla scent.
I remember my test arm and I'm amazed at how intense the scent has suddenly become after hours! It's not patchouli and not amber; it's a creamy vanilla, and there is an incredible similarity to Vaniglia del Madagascar by I Profumi di Firenze!
I have never experienced a scent increasing its intensity like this after hours. I was looking for a patchouli scent and found a very surprising vanilla scent.
Danke!
