Lost Alice in Wonderland

I come first to the technical, in all my sharings I always fill half a ml myself and test how much TZ sprayers correspond to about one sprayer of the bottle. Here it takes about 3 sprays of the TZ to come to the amount of a spray of the bottle.
The sillage is not excellent but quite good and the durability of the great heart note could be quiet longer, it lasted so 2-3 hours and then it went into the base note but is also mega and after a total of 8 hours, the fragrance finds its end for my nose.
But now to the fragrance that really touches me.

It is a magical fragrance, he starts very unusual, light and increases quickly in the floral nutty. I would say yes smooth the nutty seeds/grainy are the ambrette seeds but short internet research says that ambrette seeds, the seeds of the musk bush rather Mochusartig, floral sweet smells. So I guess that comes from the wonderful and not at all spicy smelling, incorporated pepper. So it starts very nicely. This top note disappears after about 10 minutes and slowly the incredibly interesting heart note spreads. I thought first of coffee, of cake. The purity of iris soap or rather in iris soap washed tablecloth ;) because then it made Ding, there was the enlightenment. The scent is called Lost Alice and it had something of a beautiful white coffee table in a fairy tale world, with flowers and carrot cake. It was the world of Alice in Wonderland with the Mad Hatter over a cup of black tea. And there I was suddenly all small again, testosterone levels dropping and the little boy of yesteryear coming up who loved Alice in Wonderland as well as Winx Club, Barbie, Tinkerbell.... tinkerbell. I was emotionally transported back to that innocent and simply beautiful time and everything became magical, imaginative, peaceful simply beautiful again. I find it mega amazing how scents and then memories that come high (even if the memory isn't tied to the scent itself but to a fitting situation) can touch and change you so.
But I'm not a man of many words so before I digress any further I'll move on to the drydown. This is just beautifully soft and gentle. It goes if I now connect the smell with colors slowly into a light beige and then over into a creamy white. So nice and clean with a dash of sweet spice and a nice floral note that I don't know but if there is a plant that gives off the smell of this drydown(which there probably isn't unfortunately because crossing broom and sandalwood will.... Hard and to get the creamy milk in there, is there even a plant that smells like milk?), then maybe with a lot of work I would turn my black thumb into a green one and put this plant in my bedroom forever. I'm thrilled.
There are many fragrances that are fancier, louder, more authentic, more gourmand.... Are, but this... he is simply poetically beautiful, I have found Alice, she is no longer lost, she belongs to me.
