Golden Rules...

Some time ago, I decided to buy a maximum of one (plus minus) fragrance each month, a golden rule, so to speak.

In a small, well-stocked perfumery, I looked at a few fragrances and to my delight, I spotted the shelf with PDM. It wasn't hard for me to decide; the golden rule must be broken this month, once again, as an exception. I chose Herod and Layton Exclusif. The budget was stretched and all resolutions went overboard. However, Herod was not in stock, only the test bottle, and I was allowed to pick up the ordered Herod two days later. I had a plan: in, out, and don’t go sniffing anything else!

Upon reaching the checkout, a package was handed to me, quickly signed to confirm I received the goods, and off I went.

The saleswoman must have sensed her chance: "Do you know Haltane by PDM? It arrived in the store today with your Herod." - My response: "Never heard of it" (I've only been strongly interested in the perfume scene for a year)

She handed me a test strip - My golden rules belong in the scrap metal.
Immediately, a slightly citrusy, sweet wood note hit me. The citrus notes fade after a short time but remain throughout the fragrance's development, which I believe rounds out the scent. The oud is not animalic and serves solely to highlight the wood note, which is supported by the praline and saffron, adding a pleasant sweetness. I internally debated not buying it. Stop! Stop! Haltane... it was in vain. Do you know that feeling when a puppy looks at you sadly because it wants to be taken along? That’s how it was with this fragrance. It wanted to belong to me, and I to it.

On clothing, it lasts for days, if not even a week. On the skin, at least 12 hours. The sillage is very good. For me, it’s an outstanding creation, and since I don't know OFG, it’s also unique for me.

Der layton exklisif ist mir der liebste von den dreien, haltane ist der vielseitigsten, m.M.

Spannend zu lesen. Und das mit dem Hundewelpen kann ich nachvollziehen 😄
Aber wieso muss man den jeden Monat einen Duft kaufen? Was ist denn wenn da mal gar kein Duft dabei ist der dir gefällt?

Mein derzeitiger Favorit. Und auch, wenn man sich Düfte für sich kaufen sollte, freut man sich natürlich immer über Komplimente, man würde gut riechen. Bei diesem habe ich das schon mehrmals von Damen gesagt bekommen, wenn sie in meiner Nähe waren.
