Phew,… we are currently experiencing a real heatwave. For days, no weeks (actually, it even feels like months!) it has been damn hot, with very little cooling in between, so that on days when the thermometer shows 34-35 degrees or even more, you feel like you can hardly breathe, and you desperately call for air! Some clever clogs once told me that we breathe oxygen instead of air… great! :D And I say, we inhale air, with all its components, in which oxygen is processed, but try explaining that to some stubborn mules!
And when you exhale, by the way, you should be careful not to accidentally exhale on a wasp, because these creatures can detect the CO2 in your breath and will become aggressive, thinking “Wow! This jerk wants to eat me, so I better sting him in the ass quickly!” :DD Well, that almost happened to me recently, as a wasp flew right in front of me while I was exhaling and suddenly took off in pursuit, yikes! I had to walk several meters away for it to finally leave me alone! Phew!
Well,… back to the fragrances, you freaks! :D
Anyway, here comes Wunderwind, which sounds absolutely SUPER just by its name and has scent notes like sea breeze, lemon, or watermelon that really sound great for warm days, and I can hardly wait to try it,… even though watermelons might attract wasps,… oh no! :D
The scent:
At first, I smell a mix of resinous pines, light sweet notes, and a very slight hint of salt, which smells like the salty air near the coast. After that, the lemons become noticeable, which are not sparkling but rather warm (with the warmth probably being a combination of all the scent notes). Over time, the lemons become noticeably stronger, the scent is also quite fresh, but not necessarily refreshing. It is more one of those scents to smell good even on hot days instead of refreshing oneself with strong citrus notes.
Anyway, I have trouble smelling honey and watermelon. It may be that the sweet notes partly come from these scent notes, but I can't identify them as they really smell weak. You can better make out the herbal notes like rosemary (even if in the background).
I feel like all the scent notes quickly blend together, making it harder to distinguish them later on. Because after a while, the scent for me smells “just” resinous and warm, a bit citrusy (although you can still smell the lemon), a bit herbal, and a bit maritime.
A little later, the lemon fades, and the scent becomes warmer as the resinous notes come through better, along with slightly sweet scents (which come from the musk in the base).
The sillage and longevity:
The sillage is average and will only be noticeable from close up. After a not too long time, it becomes almost skin close.
However, the scent lasts quite long; I could sniff it for more than ten hours.
The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular with strongly rounded edges and a thick base. It is filled with yellowish liquid. The narrow, fabric-like label is attached to one corner, taking up a small part of two sides of the bottle. The rounded cap is chrome-plated, and the brand name is engraved on it. A nice bottle.
So, well… the scent is not exactly “windy.” As mentioned earlier, the scent is not necessarily refreshing. But it is still a fresh scent. Let’s say it is a casual and pleasant scent that can be worn without problems (and without bothering others) even on very hot days. It doesn’t disturb, smells good, and might come across well. Unfortunately, the maritime aspect fades a bit too quickly, so the vacation feeling doesn’t come through strongly, but of course, you can also use the scent on vacation, where you will surely have a stronger vacation feeling, he he :D
I find it a pity that it becomes rather inconspicuous later on, which is also related to the somewhat low sillage, so you should occasionally reapply the scent.
Otherwise, it is worth a test if you are looking for a nice scent for hot days that can be worn on various occasions. But the scent is still not outstanding.
Phew… it is said that the coming days won’t be as extremely hot, but we’ll see. Let’s hope that the announced thunderstorms won’t be too extreme, which unfortunately they do in some parts of the country… anyway, the temperature today was pleasant for the first time in a long while, although a stronger storm has already raged here…
And once the thunderstorms are over, I have a feeling it will get extremely hot again… *sigh* I’m already melting here and therefore go crazy when someone says to me “What do you want more? It’s nice and warm!” And I get even crazier when someone tries to open windows and doors in the apartment while I’m airing it out in the morning, lowering the blinds, and trying to keep the apartment somewhat bearable during the day… Anyone who opens a window here gets thrown out of the apartment, argh, I don’t understand any fun in this heat :DD
