The Long-Sought Nivea Scent
How often have I read that this or that fragrance smells like Nivea, e.g. Bulgari Omnia Amethyste or Bulgari Blu. I could never find any actual similarity to Nivea in any fragrance. Until now. Because Comma really does smell like it, at least the EdT; unfortunately, I haven't been able to test the EdP yet.

Comma smells creamy, well-groomed, like freshly showered and moisturized, and it actually reminds me of the old Nivea scent. I can't pick out the individual notes listed, but I don't mind. I like the result; that's what matters to me.
The longevity isn't great, but it's not horrendously bad either. It's just a delicate, soft fragrance with a slightly sweet note. This will be my feel-good scent for the evenings or when I just want to smell nicely groomed. I must say, I'm happy to finally have found a Nivea scent; I had almost given up hope.

Beautifully Subtle
As previously commented, Comma is fresh, light, soapy, well-groomed, creamy. I really like that because, in my opinion, a fragrance doesn’t have to be conspicuous and extravagant. On the contrary, Comma is beautifully unpretentious and seems to signal "I am well-groomed and care about a clean appearance, but I don’t need more self-presentation." Women may like that or not, but as a guy, I find Comma to be subtly charming in a sympathetic way; it’s just right for ladies looking for well-groomed understatement.

Girl's Fragrance
I haven't been on Parfumo for long, but I've already fallen victim to the blind buy addiction.

Comma, at that price I can surely take the risk? Well, yes. A very pleasant fragrance has fluttered into my home. The first impression: smells good, but familiar. Very familiar. Tried and tested a thousand times.

And yet, you can't deny this fragrance its validity. Comma opens floral and fresh, somewhat like a spring flower meadow in the morning. After that, the floral notes fade a bit and a bit more freshness comes to the forefront. It then leaves a pleasant clean scent. However, for me, it is not creamy; the iris seems to stay subtly in the background - I can't detect Nivea in the least.

I would immediately recommend Comma to my 19-year-old niece. A perfect fragrance for very young women.

Let's see how often I will wear it. Perhaps very suitable as a casual fragrance.

A scent without edges and corners for which there will surely be some compliments (precisely BECAUSE it comes across as so harmless).

Postscript, June 2, 2016: By now, Comma has almost become my favorite fragrance. Since the days have gotten warmer, I love this perfume. And suddenly I also notice the creaminess, the delicate powder, the subtle Nivea cream. This scent is very, very beautiful and not as simply constructed as I initially judged. A great fragrance at a very pleasant price.

What do you learn from this? Don't give up right away, keep testing the same fragrances from time to time, preferably in different seasons, and just let yourself be surprised :-)

Top in Taupe
“Pretty in Pink” was (yesterday) yesterday. Today, one scents “Top in Taupe.”

Yes, “Comma” actually smells taupe: It stands, like the color taupe, precisely on the border between cool and warm (see also Gaukeleya's comment!), between citrusy-clean freshness and woody creaminess. Somehow nude, but somehow not, because it's too cool and gray for that. But not quite as straight as a chic gray, because it is still creamy-lovely.

In this respect, it is an ideal candidate for fresh women who want to wear something a bit more velvety (in autumn!) than just the clean airheads. Or a fresh alternative for lovers of rich woody scents. Or simply a well-groomed (autumn) fragrance for the undecided.

Why autumn fragrance? Because in summer it might be a bit too creamy-woody and the sweet jasmine note could possibly be a “touch too much” at higher temperatures. In winter, it might be a bit too delicate and fresh to compete with the sweet-spicy bombers. In spring, one might long for something zestier. But for autumn: perfect!

I also find the notes about the base note interesting: Even though I can well imagine all three listed ingredients and can somehow smell them somewhere, the mixture smells more like cashmere wood (a frequent guest in the drugstore fragrance kitchen). So, is it just a prettying up? Maybe you should decide for yourselves.

I only deduct points for the (recognizable to a somewhat trained nose) drugstore base scent. Still: A beautiful and smooth fragrance construction. If I happen to come across a very small bottle (15-20 ml), it might come along.

Misunderstood Treat
I think Comma is unfortunately getting a bad rap here. Therefore, I want to defend it a little!

Freshly sprayed, it immediately reminds me of Nivea, cream or a deodorant, as one might think!

In the heart, I am greeted by flowers that I love in all perfumes! The scent blends with my skin and radiates a warm, floral-spicy glowing aura.

When the fragrance reaches the base, you can detect some wood and a slightly vanilla nuance, but you don't get much of it anymore. The well-intentioned perfume idea disappears into nothingness. Even my blue scarf couldn't hold onto Comma!

Comma is a beautiful, skin-friendly care scent, subtly fresh, creamy, and surely more intense in summer. I find it pleasant, but I keep spraying to catch the hint again, so my little EdT bottle will surely be empty soon.

Testing Comma is definitely worth it. Then you can still decide whether you perhaps find it a bit better than the other drugstore fragrances. I do!

P.S.: I've figured out which scent it reminds me of. It's "Very Valentino," just without that strange strict spiciness in the undertone that ruined Valentino for me!

Creamy and well-groomed, a floral all-rounder. Reminds me a bit of Skin. Unfortunately, terrible sillage and longevity.

A gentle, skin-like, delicate, white floral scent that vaguely reminds me of Nivea. Perfect for those who want to smell very subtle!

Attention, EdP and EdT can only be distinguished without packaging by looking at the very top on the BACK of the label! Creamy, light, well-groomed.

Soapy floral notes, a light coolness. Too full of memories to describe it more precisely.

It's a shame that those who rate so poorly don't even leave a short comment...
My first perfume I bought for myself. Floral powder cream!
