The company M.Asam produces wonderfully compatible cosmetics made in Germany, and the couple does not consider themselves perfumers.
However, they recognized some time ago that many women who love a particular skincare line would also like to have the scent as a perfume. Thus, they have launched an exact or very similar fragrance for almost every one of their lines. The No.1 is said to be legendary among die-hard fans (I am not one of them). There are also seasonal fragrances and some, like this one, that belong to limited skincare series.
What can be said about this type of perfume and this one in particular?
One smells well-groomed, soft and elegant, floral (which is actually not my thing at all, especially not on myself) and a bit sexy, but just a bit, almost unconsciously and not intentionally ;)
In my understanding, the perfume is almost too floral-sweet, but something in it holds back the sweetness just before it could become vulgar. After about half an hour, the scent takes a break. There are some fruits in it that can also be smelled at the beginning, but when the flowers fade, the fruits feel a bit lonely. Then after another half hour, the scent has warmed up and something wonderfully comforting and cuddly emerges, although it does not lose any elegance; on the contrary, the longer it lasts, the more I would want to wear it (though I have never done so). I know dozens of perfumes that are ten times more expensive and smell much cheaper! This one is simply smooth, proper, ladylike, nothing is out of line and even after spraying it 10 times, it never becomes too much.
Generally, I spray M.Asam perfumes on guest beds, bath towels, and in rooms - especially this one when women have booked. They are always thrilled and ask about it!
Overall, a feel-good scent in addition to the cosmetics. Feminine and balanced, almost too proper for my rather unruly taste. I cannot understand the negative reviews; very likely the awareness of the low price influences the perception.
On my skin, it is still well noticeable even after 8 hours, which is often the case for me. The name is pure kitsch for me, and the bottle feels good in the hand without being snug.
The perfume is currently unavailable on the M.Asam website; I hope it comes back someday because it is just right for my purposes!
