WWW - Wooly's Christmas Miracle
Now it happened that Wolle and the guys from Herne got a lesson in the form of a speeding offence shortly before Christmas. The troop was flashed with 150 things in the 30er zone, half thereby drunk as a skunk, the other half merely drunk. Only Hotte got away with it, his bike was in the workshop and he had borrowed the electric motorcycle of his three-year-old grandson. First ridiculed, now he scoffed. Wolle and the others were summoned to explain, because they didn't really trust the speedometers and the blood alcohol levels. It was inconceivable that so many grown men could be so stupid. For the Herne no Mission Impossible.

One wanted to hear the men and so all were invited on 24.12. to a kind of kindness hearing. Wolle had thereby what thought out, how he wanted to win the judge for itself and stuffed beer cans into the socks and to other unedifying places. Unfortunately, everything was found during the pat-down, which is why the judge didn't seem particularly pleased and quickly made it clear to the men that he didn't think much of such attempts and, on top of that, was puzzled as to why half the gang could hardly sit up straight and were swaying again. After as answer came, one had feasted on beer before the journey here for negotiation-tactical reasons, the mood of the judge did not rise unfortunately.

Wolle now broke the ice: "tell me, what kind of water have you got on it?"
"A present from my son, brought from London."
"Can I be honest? Smells to me like an Ombre Leather in for fine people but in the end just the same sweet-synthetic-leather stuff."
The man sighed, "Mr. Wollny...you're right. I only wear it because of my wife too, I think she recommended it to my son. Personally, I'm more the Froggys Fog type."
Udo interfered: "that's where I got my signature, Poop."
Hotte teased, "oh, that's a perfume? Always thought you just smelled like that."
"Easy, fellas!" snorted Wolle.

"Leather chemical cherry it isn't but that warm cognac sweetly colors the cardamom, which then still has some of the esprit of cardamom but otherwise becomes unbearably sweet and colors the leather with it. This, of course, is kept delicate and classy here and fully embraces the scent. Reminds me most of suede. Later less sweet but just as annoyingly synthetic."
"Knows me well, sounds like my wife after the wedding, not very sweet and annoying," opined Totty.
The judge continued, "before the headache sets in, fortunately, the chit ebbs. The base is not so easy to identify, an unidentifiable mix of earthy to sweetish hits."

"If I may give you a tip there, Judge, go to Parfumo. That's my favorite dating site and there's also something about fragrances. Sometimes even really exciting blogs on topics. You'll find better scents there and then your son should bring you something better from this Haralds next time. He'll probably have booze or something."
"Yeah, thanks for the tip, are you active there too?"
"Recently again, I was banned but now you can find me under Holle."
"Holle?"
"Short for hot wool."
"Exciting. I appreciate the tip, tomorrow is Christmas and you tried to bribe me with beer, which I found charming, I'll waive the penalties for you sometime. Do you have anything else to say?"

Wooly's mobile went off:
"Oh...you touch my tra la la
Mmm...my ding ding dong
(Mmm!)

why...
... has no one yet had the idea of wrapping flowers in the finest suede? as highend-packaging, excessive luxury?
ormonde jayne is showing us how to do this:
first a spicy cloud of the finest sand-coloured suede. you don't dare to open this finely wrapped bouquet.but while the container is slowly warming up in your hand, the scent of the flowers is already seeping through:
sandy tender iris, small dwarf, freesias, grasses,... a hint of cognac only very late.
somehow I immediately think of champagne...
... too many kitsch films seen? or is this association inevitable...?
the roses are pushing their way out
roses and leather....unbeatable sensual duet..
you should put this bouquet in the vase with the packaging. no one who has a trained sense of smell could find it strange:
at most he would be surprised that nobody had thought of this idea before. ...

Royal Suede
Ormonde Jayne is often "only" known for her four-corners collection or the signature line available in niche perfumeries. Of course, these fragrances are generally also a nice introduction to the brand and above all easily available. Recently, I have mainly been occupied with the Bespokes and Exclusives and was able to find one or the other gemstone for myself. My experiences ranged from "Extremé" (of Montabaco) to Made-to-Measure (Ormonde Man, 50% perfume).

Now I'm attracted to a Harrod Exclusive - Cuir Imperial. It is part of the Bespoke Collection and comes in the usual Harrods dark green outer packaging. These are perhaps known from Roja Exclusives. Here the circle closes in things brand appearance of the noble department store perfectly.

Cuir Imperial needs a good 5 minutes on the skin to calm down. Then I exude a fragrance of the most beautiful suede, as if I had just put on a jacket of this material for the first time. But at the same time a warm, almost heavy sweetness of cognac sounds, which fits so perfectly to the leather that any olfactory separation seems impossible from now on.

The cardamom note is the first 10 minutes almost hyperreal and supports the impression of light suede even more. At the same time, a woody freshness remains throughout the entire fragrance and gives the cognac leather a structure and transparency. After a good 30 minutes, the iris pulls a little into the light and tans the already buttery-soft leather even further. Towards a second skin.

It stays that way for hours now. Slowly the sandalwood becomes more present and the tonka bean gives the previously palatable cognac more and more heart through an almond aroma. Everything seems so harmonious and flowing that there is simply no moment when I can really make out or delimit the transition between the stages of this fragrance. A perfect sound.

After almost 7 hours the scent is now closer to the skin and a soft, very warm wooden bed with minimal sweetness and the memory of the most beautiful suede I have ever been allowed to wear.

I guess it's about 20-25% perfume, which is why a little sure instinct is needed, especially when it comes to dosage. For writing and in the office I only need 2 sprayers to achieve a perfect wearability and perception.

Cuir Imperial rightly claims, and not only in name, a place in the royal class. It's hard to do it more nobly. Contrary to its imprint, the fragrance is unisex and worth more than just a test for every suede fan.
