A Sheep in Wolf's Clothing
I ordered this fragrance blind after reading the good reviews here, and the price wasn't too painful either.

When it arrived, I eagerly applied a spritz on my wrist to test it out. And BAM, the aldehydes and pepper completely overwhelmed me. And I don't even like aldehydes. Moreover, it smells like particularly cheap aldehydes. So much for the opening. I thought: Great! Money down the drain!

BUT! After the top notes faded, the fragrance slowly develops... and in a completely different direction. The sharpness disappears entirely, and it gradually smells more high-quality, a 180-degree turn.

Then, after about an hour, I perceive a milky, creamy floral cuddle scent. It is not a gourmand, as some here write, because it lacks the typical gourmand sweetness. No, it is slightly sweet, but this sweetness reminds me of a nice body cream, hence the milky note, making you feel cozy and comfortable with Unique Woman. It is cuddly and slightly fresh at the same time, as if you just stepped out of the bath, or comparable to baby scent.

Unique Woman is perfect for all occasions; you definitely can't go wrong with it. It does not come across as intrusive, giving an "well-groomed impression." You just have to give it time and not be put off by the top notes. Because then you will definitely be rewarded. A fragrance that surprises, positively! It's a pity that it doesn't last very long (about 4-5 hours), and the sillage could be stronger for my taste.

The Essence of the Poodle
Since I already got along well with Signature, and the comment from my predecessor piqued my curiosity, I dared to make a blind purchase of Unique - especially since the price is fair, and you don't risk your house and home when buying.

The "unique" begins with a somewhat unusual cellophane smell, which indeed has a crackling quality - but once this "wrapper" is shed, a beautiful, aldehydic scent develops, with a light touch of bergamot and pink pepper floating above it, like foam crowns on a wave.
This wave carries bright freesia with it and ebbs into a mild milk note.
The sea breeze still wafts cashmere wood and sandalwood over it, giving the fragrance a full sound.
I am inclined to say: So this is the essence of the poodle - Mr. Kern - and I really like the interior of this fragrance.

Unique is not a glamorous scent for a grand appearance - but as a daytime fragrance, it is certainly suitable.

Is the Bärenmarke Bear Prowling Around the Corner?
Ah, what do we have here that's delicious for autumn and winter! Admittedly: It has a bit of a drugstore scent vibe. But perhaps we should be lenient here. Because unlike many of its drugstore counterparts, it doesn't become flatter over time, but rather nicer.

The top note is cheap fragrance in its purest form. You just have to get through it. A lot of synthetics, as plastic-like as the packaging. The artificial freshness and a hint of pepper mix with what later becomes more pronounced, resulting in a sweet, sticky fruitiness, as has been smelled so often before.

But then the Bärenmarke bear comes charging in with a little jug of sweet, warm alpine milk, leaving one awestruck. Everything becomes plush, milky, nice, and warm. Like sweet warm milk by the fireplace. Fortunately, without any hint of tonka or vanilla: there are already enough pudding scents out there!

The twist: The warm milk by the fireplace is not unsensual! Ylang-Ylang has its own character and prevents it from becoming too harmlessly milky-bearish. The combination results in something like milk + meringue + fig. Sweet-toothed folks should pay attention here: this has serious calories and intense sweetness.

The base is solid as well. The woods present themselves as exceptionally soft, warm, and harmonizing. Creamy like a strudel dessert with soft woods and a dollop of cream.

Conclusion: A nice cuddly companion for autumn and winter with plenty of gourmand power.

P.S. I still only give it 60% because I find the scent interesting but personally a bit too sweet. Also, a certain indescribable disharmony bothers me. But don't let that stop you from testing this candidate. It has something!

Already in 2012 the buzzword: Unique.
But this pale, weak synthetic sandalwood mix is as unique as a glass of H-milk from Aldi.

Milky-woody powder cream. Perfect for everyday wear or when you want something subtle. Well-groomed, delicate, close to the skin, yet long-lasting. A cozy scent :-)

Lipstick-like powder cream pencil scent. My heart feels rosy, I'm a little in love.

Fruity + floral mix with hints of tuberose, slightly gourmand (tonka-vanilla?) creamy-woody duet of sandalwood and cashmeran. Good longevity.

Initially a bit sharp and piercing, but then it develops into a beautifully milky, creamy cuddle scent. I like it :-)

Top note: I smell NOTHING.
But then: I'm sipping warm, creamy, lightly sweetened milk foam while wearing my soft cashmere scarf. Delicious.

A very gentle, milky-creamy scent. A cozy fragrance for summer. Refers to the EdT.

Pleasant, harmonious, subtle. But also very close to the skin. Perfect for when you want to be very understated!
