Wonderful!
So I didn't get along at all with the "normal" untitled, too harsh, too angular, too herbal. L'Eau improves on every point...more beautiful! L'Eau is also a green-fresh, slightly bitter fragrance, but somehow more flattering, easier to wear than the big brother!
It refreshes me more than the brother, is zestier and at the same time has a hint of minimal sweetness.
For me, this is the ideal interplay. In its beauty, it can be compared to Panorama, but without having the dominating fig sweetness. L'Eau has no nerve factor, even though Panorama didn't really annoy me. L'Eau also has a nice creaminess, a soft side that I searched for in the original in vain.
For me, L'Eau is a super successful all-rounder in warm temperatures, but still has enough depth not to be labeled as a purely one-dimensional fresh scent. It is simply significantly more accessible than its brother, without really being a lightweight! The mix of citrus fruits, mint, and incense I find very successful and is perfectly suitable for both genders, even though it gradually shifts more towards the green-bitter side over a wear time of 2-3 hours, which by the way fits perfectly with the just starting rain and its long-awaited cooling.
The longevity is very good, and here L'Eau can score against Panorama, 5-6 hours go by easily, even if after 2 hours it becomes a bit more than skin-close. But the affordable price allows for regular reapplication very well!
Clear recommendation for fans of this fragrance direction, regardless of (high) summer!

Bring Summer to the Office
Won! I was lucky enough to emerge as a proud winner from the raffle of a hefty sample package (thank you again to the nice Parfumo). The condition for participating in the raffle was the promise to reward the most beautiful scent with a comment. A difficult decision. From the beginning, I had a few favorites in mind. "Wonderwood" or "Fahrenheit," for example, both of which I had never tested and was therefore quite curious about. The plan was to sort them out a bit first and then let the favorites compete against each other in the end.

I was all the more surprised when untitled came up. First impression: Wonderful oranges/mandarins/lemons, zesty, juicy, a little bit sour, far from biting "synthetic citrus pseudo-freshness." At the same time, there was something green alongside the orange. I don't know what note that could be, but from somewhere comes this fine meadow scent. Not a meadow like a front yard or city park, but a truly wild Sicilian midsummer meadow. A Sicilian midsummer meadow surrounded by lush orange trees, and somewhere, wild mint is growing as well.

For me, it's a clear midsummer scent, but in the sense of "smells like midsummer" and not "can only be worn in midsummer." Anyone wanting to bring summer to the office will surely be well served with untitled. It’s likely the incense notes that give the fragrance its depth, allowing "(untitled) l'eau" to effortlessly leave behind the league of "flat, zesty cologne refreshers for summer."

I would place the longevity in the upper midfield, and the sillage is rather subtle. Wearable for every age group and gender (provided you love summer).

Powerful-Dense "Eau"
"(untitled) l'eau" is anything but a thin, washed-out little water that one might suspect with the addition of "L'Eau" (not without reason). Rather, it is a powerful, wonderfully complex, and wide-ranging citrus composition that spans its spectrum from earthy to green-orange-yellow to minty and floral notes.

Right from the start, mandarin and lemon are not experienced as a flat-citrusy "fresh!!"-attack but rather as a bitter, slightly sour, and above all aromatic-juicy and rather dark-deep tones. Mint rounds this off and supports it very smoothly and pleasantly in conjunction with a combined note that strongly reminds one of the multifaceted scent of various aromatic green plant leaves crushed between the fingers, all those fresh, lush green, slightly bright, juicy-aromatic leaves along the way, creating a sort of cross-section or potpourri. Orange blossom harmoniously continues the juicy mandarin note into the floral realm.

The Buchu plant (Agathosma betulina or crenulata) is a flowering plant from the large family of the rue family (Rutaceae), which includes all citrus fruits, for example. Its oily extract is traditionally used to flavor teas and spirits, and its scent and taste are said to resemble that of black currant. Although I am not personally familiar with Buchu, this dark, slightly sweet black currant note is well perceivable as a gently rounding accord that expands downwards. The woody, slightly smoky, quite warm, and pleasantly rounded base note, on which the fragrance surprisingly lasts a long time, can ultimately be attributed to the components of cedarwood and gentle incense not mentioned here.

Not an overwhelmingly new or unique scent, but very appealing and harmoniously rounded for its distinct citrus-mintiness, shining with deep and beautiful complexity. It strikes me as a somewhat deeper, denser, more down-to-earth relative of the lighter, transparent, floating "Un Jardin..." fragrances from Hermes; in the impression of the simultaneously citrusy and floral composition, I do see similarities, and I mean that as a compliment ;-)

Green Cut
The green thumb has completely passed me by, and I probably won't become a hobby gardener either. But as a "country girl," I enjoy the scent of fresh greenery in spring and early summer. The first lawn mowing, the first flowers, the freshly trimmed hedges, and as a finale, the blooming rapeseed fields... a wonderfully fresh, juicy green scent that I cannot resist.

And what if I have to spend the pleasant sunny spring days at my desk in the city? Then I just bring the green cut to the office! Two spritzes of "(untitled) l'eau," and I am surrounded by a wonderful mix of juicy citrus fruits, subtle wood, and above all, greenery. Somewhere in the small bottle, my mother-in-law's boxwood bushes must be hiding. Galbanum and incense round it all off with a discreet elegance. Mint provides a little extra freshness kick.

This fragrance is an energizer and loves sunshine. It spreads its good mood for a good half day. Nevertheless, I wouldn't call it an all-day scent, as it is quite distinct and has its own character. "(untitled) l'eau" doesn't adapt to the day - it makes the day.

If you're in the mood for it and can embrace it, this fragrance is a wonderful companion through spring and summer. It also gives even hay fever sufferers a bit of unrestrained joy in the scent of the greening nature.

Mr. G and all his friends
untitled was a blind buy born out of a bit of cognitive and other pandemic-induced dullness, like about 75 percent of all the recent fragrance purchases here. With complete disrespect, I say here and now: The only excitement in my life lately has been whether the COVID test will come back positive or not. Luckily, I enjoy my everyday life, but I miss all the little escapes that have infused my business as usual with poetry and magic. Little by little, they are coming back, and I like watching the threadbare carpet of encounters and experiences being woven into new memories.

untitled, in any case. Why did this perfume catch my attention? First, the non-name. I like the vague, undefined, floating quality. Second, I mostly like the replicas and much of what Daniela Andrier does. And third, Galbanum. I didn’t know it, but it sounded interesting.

I unpacked it with the fixed idea that this scent was made for me. No idea why. Sometimes I feel that way about people too. And rarely, very rarely, am I wrong. In any case, after a layer of bubble wrap and packaging, I knew my suspicion had not betrayed me. I smell a wonderful, fresh, clear, bitter note in the opening that captivates me just like "Cuirs Nomades - Moroccan Leather | Memo Paris." Detective E. sharpens: Ah, SO this is Galbanum!

untitled continues to not skimp on its thoroughly green charms in the heart note, throwing in all the optimistic spring vibes the bottle can offer while never losing its subtle, crystal-clear charm. I am completely enchanted by now and find it very unique, very radiant, and a touch floral, with the herbal notes I love dominating. In my mind's eye, summer meadows and a lake surrounded by wildflowers appear. And definitely Team Tea Dress here, my dress shirts stay in the closet, although that would match well too. Keyword: Clear line.

The dry down bids farewell to the Galbanum presence somewhat, yet untitled remains a green, bright, and fresh scent. The sillage is quite decent for this type of fragrance, by the way. And I have found my new best friend in the bottle: Mr. G. (By the way, "Vol de Nuit (Eau de Toilette) | Guerlain," the Galbanum goddess of the first hour, is on its way to me, I was told. I am curious.)

Beautiful green and citrus notes all around but a bit too much bitter galbanum for my taste.

Citruses, which appear somewhat cool and subdued by a touch of cold (and subtle) incense. Elegant freshness for warmer days.

Untitled is fresh. Clearly more galbanum, citrus notes, and especially mastic. The incense is a bit lighter, and the rest serves as support.

Starts as a wonderfully clear, airy citrus-green scent; but the smoky old-school patchouli resin brings me back down to earth.

Galbanum is delicate. So wonderfully refreshing like a rain shower on green leaves. Mediterranean in feel and beautiful. Summer is here.

I like it even better than "(untitled)". Lighter, fresher, but still with that certain edge that makes the scent interesting. Great.

For Galbanorinha on Ice
Take lemons by the kilo
Crushed green ice
As much as the mint glass can hold
Orange blossom juice
And a pinch of incense musk
