Style for Women Michalsky 2018

I have already written a statement, but since the longevity really blows me away, I’m writing a comment about it after all.

There used to be a black apple from Lolita Lempicka - Minuit Noir. Black, heavy, dusty, licorice, yet totally sexy. But unfortunately too heavy and therefore hardly wearable.

The style reminds me a lot of this fragrance. The progression is hardly noticeable. It starts with an unlisted licorice and lipstick note that runs throughout the entire development and stays in the foreground. At first, it is dusty dry and becomes creamier over time. The sillage is not overwhelming, but also not skin-close. You stand out, but everyone still has room to breathe. It is the perfect alternative to Minuit Noir and great for colder to icy days.

Worn yesterday, I could still perceive it this morning, although now very close to the skin.

Here you get something special for very little money. Anything but 08/15. I can really recommend giving it a try!

The scent has a really realistic licorice/anise note in the top, which is not mentioned anywhere. Much nicer than the one in Classique EdP, which I also like, but always reminds me a bit of cough drops.
Unfortunately, it doesn't last long, and the rather powdery floral scent (lilac? It's not mentioned either, what's going on with the fragrance notes here :P) that it develops into later doesn't last either.
In the base, everything falls apart after a maximum of 3-4 hours into a creamy something without any particular recognizability (fragrance direction: blue cream jar for 1.19 at any supermarket. Not exactly Nivea or Penaten, but a bit of everything). Not bad, but also nothing I really need.
At least: I hardly perceive vanilla. Overall, the base smells more like amber (the dry-resinous variant, not the sweet-oriental one) than musk, and the cedar is not the usual spicy-woody but somewhat paper-like. It lasts on clothing until the next day, but on my arm, there's nothing left to smell after 5-6 hours.
It's a shame, it started off so well. The first 20 minutes are really good; if the scent could stay like that, I would probably give it 9-10 points.
On the other hand, you could also look at it the other way: after 20 minutes, you have a harmless, well-groomed everyday scent for little money that won't disturb anyone and doesn't smell like cotton candy with caramel sauce.
