The company M.Asam produces wonderfully compatible cosmetics made in Germany, and the couple does not see themselves as 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. They also release seasonal fragrances, as well as unique, limited-edition cosmetic series and their perfumes.
From Mirjam with love is a perfume that does not belong to any of the current series. There are a couple of such perfumes as well. After testing two other scents from M.Asam that I found really beautiful and repurchased, I ordered this one based on the positive comments on the website. And what can I say?
I am really glad I did!
The scent is beautiful. No, it is not JUST beautiful. It is MULTI-LAYERED and very UNEXPECTEDLY beautiful.
I always wonder in such moments what must be so wonderful in the soul of a perfumer when they are able to create such fragrances.
From Mirjam with love is truly like a declaration of love. As if love had been taken as the guiding theme and everything that makes a woman feel loved has been dripped into this bottle, drop by drop: affection, sympathy, human warmth, kindness. But also sensual femininity, and a lot of it!
After spraying, due to the alcohol, it smells for a moment like fruity, delicious vanilla-orange mousse. This association fades seconds later, but the opening remains delicate, despite the ethereal freshness and slight alcohol breath. Immediately afterward, a spiciness creeps in, which, together with the vanilla, slowly bids farewell to the citrus note and lets the fragrance glide into an incredible, feminine, sensual depth. Thus, the scent remains enveloped in citrus freshness for about fifteen minutes, but it is not constant; rather, it vibrates and releases more and more spices. Just at the moment when the citrus was no longer there and all the spices, some flowers, and the vanilla seemed to come alive on my skin, my friend walked through the door. After we hugged, she said beaming:
"Ah! You got it, the Shalimar Ode à la Vanille - Sur la route du Mexique! Congratulations!"
Then she sniffed me longer and said:
"On you, it's different, more floral and not so vanillic at all!" Slowly, her expression darkened, and she asked reproachfully:
"Or did you layer it?! Shame on you!"
It should be mentioned that she is a true Shalimar lover and has them all - the Shalimar fragrances. I used a word for her that she has also adopted - shalimarisch. If something is beautiful and reminds of Shalimar or would fit with it, it is shalimarisch - a scent, a feeling, a scarf, a piece of jewelry, an atmosphere. Everything revolves around Shalimar for her.
I was really surprised that this scent was so close to her passion; it is true - there is a similarity for me too, just not so concrete. In my opinion, From Mirjam with love is an independent, multi-layered fragrance. When the citrus is no longer there, gentle flowers, warm spices, and an incredibly mild, unsweet vanilla take the stage and prove their skill. The scent becomes more complex and refined with each passing minute. In some phases, it is truly shalimarisch; in others, it is a floral scent with spice, even towards the end, where it is soft as a feather.
Scenes flash before my inner eye, not real subjects, just isolated images.
A hammock under a leafy tree, on which a clematis is climbing, lending its floral splendor to the tree.
Two women on a porch, somewhere in the southern states... Their gazes dreamily directed into the distance, lost in a shared silence.
A soothing Ayurvedic treatment, with floral oils and spiced salves.
All images of inner peace and balance.
This goes on for several hours. After about 6 hours, the scent has faded to the point where I can only sense it on my skin. However, on my clothing, it is still very nice the next day.
At this price, you can also spray it on multiple times, especially since the development is very beautiful and you enjoy accompanying it again and again.
For me, this perfume is an unexpected discovery, and I immediately ordered another one.
