Compliments spell
When I look in the ticker or also in the thread subscribed by me "compliments / insults to the fragrance" I'm always surprised how many of you obviously regularly get positive, even enthusiastic feedback on their fragrances. I then always think to myself that perhaps I spray significantly less or perhaps simply meet fewer people in everyday life than you do. There may well be something to both thoughts, but now it just jumped out at me: I was wearing the wrong scents! Because - lo and behold - since I wear Love Potion Midnight Wish, I can keep up: Compliments about compliments!
"May I ask what smells so wonderfully fruity here?", I was asked just yesterday again by a strange woman after an appointment in the office. What a pleasure!
For me it is particularly exciting to hear how my uninfluenced environment perceives the fragrance. So the woman smelled predominantly fruit, but could not say which. She apparently even thought it was possible that it was something other than perfume. An (invisible) fruit bowl perhaps?
I feel the same way about Love Potion Midnight Wish:
On opening, it seems bright and cheerfully fruity without being citrusy, while being soft and slightly sweet, but without that fermented note that about 90% of modern fruit scents have, and also without the burnt undertone that seems horribly cheap in my nose, which sweet scents often bring.
Exactly I could not name the fruit, just like my visitor. I can only say what fruit it is not: It is not peach, not plum, nothing citrus, nor lychee, apple, pear, fig, cherry. Cherry? Yes, that's right, I don't smell cherry. I wouldn't have been surprised for myself, since I don't really find the cherry scents that are found in so many common fragrances, such as Guerlain's "Little Black", to be cherry-like, but rather unspecifically fruity. The more exciting it was to hear that it was not just me alone so went.
Let's continue in the short pyramid text: even coffee, which I had very much hoped for, I do not smell. I smell that the fruity is a bit more tart and warmer, but coffee? No. After a few hours, the scent enters the base. Now I do find musk to be a problem scent with nice regularity. But here - musk? Where? The fragrance becomes softer, warmer and more powdery, while retaining its spiciness, fruity is still there - but I do not smell musk.
Unlike many other fragrances from Oriflame, Love Potion Midnight Wish lasts throughout the day.
The woman who asked me about the fragrance in the office was there about 15:00 and I had sprayed about 7:00 in the morning at home. The sillage must also be really neat: The visitor had not been able to identify myself as the source of the fragrance.
In summary, I can say that I have rarely encountered such a wonderfully fruity, slightly spicy, uncomplicated and freed from all other fruit scentsübeln such as oversweetening, fermentation and Anbrennerei, which can still maintain all its beauty in the course and gen end only warmer and softer.
Love Potion Midnight Wish is thus in every respect a real pleasure. Also the flacon is in my eyes decidedly shapely. Color-wise I find the flacon of the classic Love Potion even more beautiful, but from the fragrance I feel it the other way around.
Last but not least, the price of the fragrance brings a happy glow to my face. And here attention: Limited Edition!
By the way, if you can also get hold of the body lotion, which seems to me even a little harder to get than the fragrance itself: It smells a little less fruity, but a little spicier, as if you had already arrived in the base, I find that very pleasant for a body lotion. The texture has a little of a hand cream, but is still wonderfully portable for me with sensitive skin.
