For dessert, there are toffees and incense!
I'm back!
Well, okay,… I wasn't really gone anyway. So you wouldn't cry during my absence, I had taken a few comments with me before the vacation to feed you with a comment every few days while I was away. So don't say I don't care about you :DD
So… it's just dumb that I hardly have any comments left now. So I have to get back to you… argh, I meant to the fragrances and test and write and test and write and test and… oh, you get the system! And all of this just for you. So don't say I'm not thinking of you :DD
Well, do you all now feel guilty for being so mean to me, when I'm just thinking of you? :D No? Bah,… then I’ll just be mean to you too. Somehow… someday… as soon as I think of something mean!!
In the meantime, I’m testing fragrances, like this Lengling here, which with its name (À la Carte) only reminds me that I'm somehow getting a little hungry again, even though I just ate two hours ago *sigh*
A little later, I still smell chocolate gourmands and resins, now mixed with a bit of patchouli, or at least something that smells a bit like patchouli to me, since this note is not listed. Hmm, a scent like pistachio could definitely be in there,… yes, it does actually smell a bit like that, but you don’t notice this note in the fragrance cloud, only when you sniff closely at the sprayed spot. In the background (but not as weak as the pistachios) there is pink pepper, which gives the fragrance a small but fine spiciness.
Otherwise, the fragrance remains rather gourmand later on, even though you can mostly smell (as is often the case) the vanilla (especially in the later base), as well as the resins.
The fragrance also lasts a long time. You can smell it for at least twelve hours before it weakens.
Hmm… somehow it was just right to test the fragrance now. Because it has gotten cooler in Germany,… there is no longer that over 30-degree heat with a humidity of felt 10,000% like in Thailand :DD
So you can test fragrances like À la Carte now at just the right time, with its gourmand and resinous notes, which could otherwise feel quite overwhelming on hot days.
In any case, I liked the fragrance. Of course, I must add that the fragrance smells like many other fragrances with resinous and gourmand notes as well. But that’s okay, as this now pretty much applies to all brands and many fragrances smell quite similar nowadays. À la Carte is one of those well-made gourmands that you might want to test if you enjoy such scents.
Moreover, the sillage and longevity are also quite good, so you get a lot from the fragrance when you use it in autumn and winter. For everyday use, you would need to apply it less, as it could otherwise come off as quite overpowering in offices or similar settings (and might eventually annoy others over time). But for partying or going out, you can certainly apply it more generously if you want to come across as nice and delicious :D
Well, that’s it from me again, so until next time, which means until tomorrow!... Maybe anyway… :DD

The fragrance:
Hmm, the fragrance starts off quite delicious, like a tasty dessert. I smell sweet vanilla and gourmand chocolate notes,… which probably come from the toffees. Soon, the resinous scents like styrax, incense, and oud also make the fragrance significantly stronger in terms of sillage, but they also smell quite nice together with the vanilla and the gourmand notes.

The sillage and longevity:
The projection of the fragrance is quite good. Initially explosive, the intensity does go down a bit soon, but it is generally quite good, so that one could notice the fragrance from a distance for a while. The fragrance also lasts a long time. You can smell it for at least twelve hours before it weakens.
The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular, but has nicely smoothed edges and a thicker base. The thin or narrow label, which seems to be made of fabric, is applied over two sides of the bottle, where you can see the label on one side and the fragrance name on the other. The cap is chrome-plated and you can see the brand name engraved on its top side. A beautiful bottle. Hmm… somehow it was just right to test the fragrance now.
