Almost went wrong!
750%, what does that even mean? But wait, is there a zero after the fraction sign? Yes! That’s 750 per mille (damn, how do you type this symbol??).
Okay, now admit it, when you hear the term per mille, you only thought of drinking parties, right? As if I don’t know you all here. Just a bunch of fragrance junkies, cat lovers, and of course… alcoholics! :DD
Although I wouldn’t necessarily recommend a per mille of 750… even if everyone is talking about Oktoberfest right now :D
The scent:
You briefly smell a lemon and think that the fragrance is something fresh, but within the next second, the scent completely takes a spicy turn and, to be honest, isn’t even pleasant.
I suspect that coumarin is the culprit behind the intense scent, which can hold its own quite well against repulsive scents like coriander and similar notes. Wow, if there were coriander in here, you could use this scent to take someone out!
In any case, the spiciness almost overpowers everything else. With some effort, you can catch a whiff of lavender or generally floral notes, and there’s even a hint of sweetness trying desperately to soften the intense spice a bit.
However, after a while, it actually succeeds, but it seems that the sweetness has exhausted all its strength, as it then disappears immediately. Well, at least the scent remains spicy, but fortunately no longer smells so disgusting, instead becoming more herbaceous-green and slightly stuffy and oppressive.
Later on, you can smell the earthy patchouli. The vanilla makes the scent even softer and adds a gentle sweetness (which then stays). Additionally, the scent is airy and smoky due to the incense.
The sillage and longevity:
The scent is strong due to its spiciness and radiates well. It will definitely be noticeable on you for an extended period.
And because of that, the scent is also long-lasting. In my case, I could still smell it after twelve hours.
The bottle:
The bottle is square and filled with yellow fragrance liquid. On the front, the name of the lady of the fragrance is directly printed on the bottle. The cap is transparent and rather rectangular. It looks nice, but is a bit simple.
Okay,… when I read Amalfi lemon and bergamot in the top notes, I automatically assumed it would be a fresher scent that you spray on warm days. And since summer fragrances usually have a bit less sillage, I sprayed a bit more than usual on my arm just for testing purposes.
A MISTAKE, as it would soon prove… Because the top note hits you with an incredibly spicy scent that initially even smells quite bad, before it fortunately becomes a bit milder after a few minutes and starts to smell more herbaceous-green-spicy. To be honest, it even completely loses its disgustingness (hence my title,… the scent could have easily been a complete grab into the (not yet flushed!) toilet! Ugh…) and might actually appeal to some if you let the scent develop for a while.
Because in the end, it still smells a bit spicy, but also sweet. It even has a slightly powdery background. However, you would need to somewhat like coumarin to enjoy the scent, otherwise, you might find it hard to warm up to this fragrance (like I did).
It is usable, as I now know… best in autumn and winter. However, I find it less suitable for going out, as it can be a bit of an acquired taste and somewhat (especially at the beginning) overwhelming. But at least it’s a different kind of fragrance.
750 per mille… what a name, it really makes you want to drink one… well, more than one, oh you know how it is! … :D
