In The Brambles Phoenix Botanicals

Right from the start of application, I enjoy the fresh tobacco, even though I’m not particularly fond of tobacco notes. It even feels relaxing, and this note here is very beautiful. I then reach for the sample again and gently apply another drop - and another drop. I can hardly set the sample aside quickly enough to bring my hand to my nose.

Here I would already say that it is the most beautiful and intense moment of the fragrance.

Another beautiful moment is provided by the aromatic berries and the ylang, as well as the honeysuckle, which brings a softly bright sweetness and creates a slightly floral, tipsy note in this combination. Gentle threads of smoke weave through the slightly tipsy note and give the fragrance a certain depth.

Here, a longer longevity can be perceived for several hours, and it depends on oneself how much one applies to which areas or if one reapplies.

Honeysuckle

The air is warm, a sweet hint
of heavy fragrance wafts through the hedges,
through lush, summery green,
where the honeysuckle flowers hide.

With slender growth and white chalice,
it entwines bushes and berry hedges -
stunningly sweet summer scent,
a winding, climbing hide-and-seek.

In our region, the garden honeysuckle is also called Jelängerjelieber, and the longer I engage with this fragrance, the more I like it;-)

Thanks to Fluxit for the testing opportunity.

"Love Potion" and "In the Brambles" are my favorites from this test series, and I would definitely wear them at home or just take a fragrance break from my usual scents.

Test series: Lavender Noir, Lotus Pollinator, Twilight Green, Love Potion, Ka Pueo, Vanilla & The Sea, Meadow & Fir, and In The Brambles.
