In this case, more fragrance would have been better...

Recently, I was at the theater at the Kö with friends, our seats were on the outside, which means you have to get up a few times to let other visitors pass, the seasoned theatergoer knows this. An older couple brushed closely past me, the old gentleman went ahead, smiled at me gratefully, his wife followed behind, and suddenly I was hit by a cloud of urine and rancid fat. I smiled back politely, breathed through my mouth, and hoped they had seats further in the middle. No, they were sitting right next to me. And at that moment, I was annoyed that I had used L’Amour so sparingly - considering other visitors and the tight space. After the break, Mr. Pluto swapped seats with me (I am still grateful to him for that, the good man), his nose is not as sensitive, but in this case, his nose also picked up quite a bit of unpleasantness. That's fine, I prefer to focus on the beautiful things in life, L’Amour.

L’Amour starts citrusy, with bergamot and neroli greeting you, and quite quickly a silky rose joins in. This brings delicate soapy notes with it, along with a hint of green. The listed tuberose behaves itself, I don’t smell it and I’m not upset about it. The gardenia only spreads sweetness, while musk and sandalwood give this floral scent a neat, creamy twist in the base.

In summary, L’Amour is spring in a bottle, a fresh floral that simply lifts your spirits and also exudes sporty elegance. A solid, likable fragrance that plays in the class of Un Air de First. And I even like it better than the latter because it is a bit edgier, not so pleasing. The sillage is medium, and the longevity is surprisingly good. The glass bottle looks beautiful and high-quality (it is Lalique after all), but handling the 100 ml with one hand is a bit difficult. The price/performance ratio here is really top-notch.

And I have already received some compliments for L’Amour, although not at the theater. There, I always thought, if someone turned around, it’s not me, it’s not me...

Lastly, one more thing, "stinkers" exist in every age group.

My goodness, that's quite a situation! I would have been fed up with everything! But maybe I would have asked about other seats during the break... a trophy for your patience and consideration...

Such things can really ruin a trip to the theater...

Oh dear, something like that happened to me on a long-haul flight once. If we don't manage to get a two-seat row (there are usually some at the back of many long-haul planes), we book the middle/aisle. Simply because one of us can always stretch their legs into the aisle, and we prefer to crawl over each other when getting up rather than over a stranger. I was in the aisle seat, and the person across the aisle smelled absolutely terrible, like sweat, really...

I, who am very discreet with perfume in trains, planes, and meetings just like you (you don't want to become a nuisance), went to the bathroom and completely doused my scarf, so much so that I could barely smell anything else for the next eight hours.

I had thought about buying this blind before. You just reminded me of that, and also how much I dislike being around people nowadays...

Nice scent, bad seating. Hopefully, you won't associate this scent with that smell experience in the future. The fragrance sounds lovely; I unfortunately don't know Lalique at all.

Unfortunately, I know the problem from work. I will definitely test L'Amour at some point too.

Oh man, what a concert experience! I hope you were able to enjoy it after the break. The scent sounds really nice. Well described-short and to the point!

That sounds like a lovely evergreen for spring and summer. I also want to take a closer look at the Laliques.

Lalique knows what it's doing. And the bottles are really beautiful. I enjoyed reading the comment, but I don't envy you for that theater night! :)

I enjoyed reading about your fragrance experiences again, but the Amour couldn't win my heart due to the white floral notes.

Honestly, I couldn't have handled that, and my sweetheart wouldn't have offered me his spot either; we would have run away! :-) I really like the scent; I've passionately worn it this year.

"Stinkers" exist not only in every age group but also everywhere... my last "experience" was on a plane. I had no idea a person could smell that bad :-o How nice of Mr. Pluto to be so caring! The scent sounds really good and would probably have been too mild as an "antidote"...

I'll have to take a sample bottle with me soon... Just to be safe :o)
This Lalique really seems to smell lovely. The bottle and packaging look very pretty.

Two days ago, I got rid of a tilted fragrance from XerJoff with extreme longevity. In the future, you'll get something like that as a weapon against stinkers. ;-)

Un Air de First didn't exactly blow me away. If this one is a bit more special, that gives me hope. I hope you were still able to focus on the play. Long live art!

What a shame, even the most beautiful scent can't compete with that, but compliments to Mr. Pluto.

It could have easily happened that your favorite perfume was ruined for all time, forever associated with that smell. At least during the break, I would have asked to switch seats with an honest reason without naming anyone specifically. Usually, some people leave during the break, so there are free seats. You have to be confident about it. Good venues are visitor-oriented and helpful in that regard.

Oh dear... Such stinkers can really ruin everything for you. I once left a packed cinema because of one. The scent description sounds lovely, but my previous experiences with Lalique have been rather disappointing.

Oh dear, I can vividly imagine that theater visit. As my predecessors have already pointed out, bad body odors masked with perfume are, in my opinion, even worse! **Gentleman’s trophy** for Mr. Pluto.

Oh, I know how that goes; the strangest scents really take center stage. My tip: a small 2ml spray fits in the tiniest evening bag, so you can discreetly hold it under your nose from time to time, and you can enjoy the evening again.

Oh, those stinkers! Recently, I had a young guy sitting right behind me on the bus. He hadn’t showered and then slathered on so much perfume that I could taste it. I buried my face in my scarf, which luckily smelled nice and saved me.
Very nice fragrance description! And for your next theater visit, I wish you neutral to pleasantly scented seat neighbors.

Beautiful scent description. You really had bad luck with the theater visit. My evening would have been ruined. From my experience, covering up a bad smell with perfume doesn't work.
