The Laughing Moon
Covered in gray.
We lie here together.
The night has enveloped our bodies.
Stars, everywhere. Here and there.
So close to touch.
The moon shapes the sketches.
Bright and laughing. And gray.

The coolness has long been torn away,
for we warm each other up.
Through love, through the body.
With every heartbeat and every breath,
that we feel when we move even closer together.
The moon shapes the sketches.
Bright and laughing. And gray.

We whisper softly,
so as not to disturb the wind as it sweeps through the landscape.
Then we share a long silence,
to preserve all of this, to preserve us.
I gently lean against your chest,
disappearing into a cozy dream.
The moon shapes the sketches.
Bright and laughing. And gray.

You picked me flowers.
That I spread around us.
Their intoxicating scent is caught by a delicate sweetness,
which then grows stronger.
Vanilla comes to both our minds.
How we would love to shovel tons of vanilla pudding into ourselves.
Round and full,
rolling around somewhere.
The moon shapes the sketches.
Bright and laughing. And gray.

My lips taste of berries,
as I have devoured a whole basket.
You can’t help it,
but to taste them.
Take the sweet shine
from my lips.
The moon shapes the sketches.
Bright and laughing. And gray.

Wish Magical Nights is a beautiful vanilla gourmand.
Better said, a vanilla pudding that patchouli luxuriously lays into.
On top of that, crunchy berries that are quickly eaten up.
Everything dipped in the gray of the moon. A night owl scent. Deep and sensual, long-lasting.

Wish Magical Night is like the laughing moon.
Familiar and round.

So we both mentally wrap a lasso around the moon.
Pull it down from the sky.
The moon shapes the sketches.
Bright and laughing. And gray.

Union of Light and Dark
I am actually a fan of gourmand fragrances. Wish was never an option for me. I found it too woody and too "musty." Brilliant Wish I perceived as a shallow little water.

Wish Magical Nights is different. It combines the dark base of patchouli and vanilla with the bright flowers of iris and magnolia. I smell the dark, warm base more closely. It is balsamically sweet, while the bright flowers dance around me in a fine sillage.

Overall, I even catch fresh, very beautiful moments of the fragrance that are elusive.

I find the scent rounder, fuller, and more harmonious than the Wish fragrance. It suits me better.
I like the bottle. Dark blue with golden glitter symbolizes the night sky with golden stars. The dark with the light. I think that is well chosen.

The longevity is good at 6-7 hours.

Magical Nights
Magical Nights came to me as a blind buy, and I must say WOW it was worth it! I'm not a fan of the regular Wish, but I love Brilliant Wish even more, so I was particularly curious about what Magical Nights has to offer. Especially since the bottle is really very, very beautiful :-)
At the first sniff, I was completely taken aback, and my initial thought was: wow, a patchouli bomb. I'm not an expert in deciphering fragrance notes, but without looking at the pyramid, a huge cloud of patchouli was clearly present.
Later that evening, as I was going out, my mother gasped for breath when I walked past her and asked what I had sprayed on, even though it was really just a small spritz for testing.
The longevity is truly remarkable, and one should consider the noses of those around them when dosing; in my small Citroen C2 with three people, we had to crack the window open right away.
Once you get past the explosion after application, Magical Nights develops very surprisingly; the patchouli remains in the foreground, but vanilla and even somewhat floral notes come into play, and the scent simply smells wonderful and, above all, unique. Magical Nights is definitely not a run-of-the-mill fragrance but very special, and probably more suitable for the second half of the year. I have become a real fan and have already received many compliments :-)

exactly my scent notes :)
but anyone who knows wish suspects something equally sweet and sticky. that's true. it is sweet and heavy. I also think it should be worn better on dark, colder evenings. it does not fit at all with a light, cheerful summer. it is intense, yet I feel it stays close to the wearer. it should still be applied sparingly. it is a bomb. :) but it smells beautiful and interesting. very sensual and warm. :)

I love Wish and recently bought this version, if only for the beautiful bottle. Unfortunately, it seems to only be available in the 30 ml size??! If anyone knows of a larger size - please let me know *G*
Anyway, about the scent, it has a strong resemblance to the regular Wish, but here you can immediately smell the acacias. The first time I sprayed it, I instantly thought of pancakes with honey....yes, I know - crazy! But on a day like yesterday, when it's so beautifully icy cold, this scent is just perfect!

Deja Vu: This is the original Wish I smelled in 1997: oriental, zesty, syrupy, dark, balsamic. 1000 stars sparkling magic!!

About 10 minutes after a somewhat unpleasant "rhubarb start," a vanilla/patchouli delight reveals itself. Not as sharp as Wish EdP.

Wintery "going-out scent," a moderate oriental, I like it even a bit better than the original!
