Under the Nose Radar
In recent years, quite a bit has come under my nose.
I have jumped into abysses and sniffed airy heights.
Sometimes I felt quite floral and often incredibly animalistic. But the house Marbert had somehow never been on my radar. Fortunately, that has changed.
And how could it be otherwise, of course, we found it again in Italy!
Tendance begins its fragrance story at a medium volume and tells of a spring bed including lemon balm and purple mint. Alongside, a fruit bowl for a little hunger in between.
The scent quickly pulls back and becomes close to the skin. This fits nicely with the herbal, slightly bitter impression that Tendance makes on me.
Now, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and iris could certainly form an infernal trio, but they do not. They hold back elegantly and allow the rugged beauties carnation and gardenia to take the lead. They essentially form the background accompaniment.
I smell instead of the rose the freshly cut rose stems. For me, a perfect complement to the heart note.
Here too, everything is quite restrained and quiet.
The base flows seamlessly in. Such a fine mixture of woody earth and a touch of heaven through the musk!
I can by no means confirm the low longevity.
Ten hours as a soft fragrance story on the wrist is quite decent.
Tendance is a wonderful, atmospheric scent of soft tones and a valuable addition to my treasure collection.
Conclusion:
Somehow there used to be MORE tinsel!

It's still around!!
Unbelievable, the long-established fragrance boutique EVA is closing soon in Regensburg - and on Saturday I saw TENDANCE in a corner! I can't remember the scent anymore, I just know it was fine and powdery, it's been 25 years.. I'm going to sniff it again this week and then more here!

Delicate floral notes, green hints, citrus sprinkles, and a woody-mossy base create a soft and elegant scent with a classic tone.

An exciting chypre scent that also has a somewhat aloof, harsh quality. One must be willing to face the storm.

I think the great Halston was the inspiration here, as I see parallels. Chypre, with a bitter-spicy timbre. Halston was better.

Super strong, extremely spicy scent, once in the lower price range, for me back then the German Opium. Signature of a beloved teacher.

Strongly fruity and synthetic floral-creamy scent. Rather sweet and warm.
