Black Sugar Pink Sugar 2013

Those who occasionally read my comments know that I live in the deepest, Upper Swabian province.
Far away from perfumeries, fragrance lovers, and noble scents. One is grateful for a simple drugstore...!

But there is something different here!! The shooting festival or as the locals say "Schützafescht"!!!

Once a year, for one and a half weeks, a state of emergency is declared here, yesterday and today there was no school and then there’s a shooting kiss, a shooting treasure, a shooting badge, a shooting parade, a shooting sausage, a shooting drinking spree...etc.

So great!!!

There’s also a hill where there’s a kind of fair. With a Ferris wheel and bumper cars, cotton candy and a festival tent and of course ... a ghost train!

With the ghost train, it’s a bit of a thing for me: of course, I haven’t been a child for a long time and I know it’s not really scary and actually funny, but when it starts, I still get heart palpitations!

It’s the same with Black Sugar, which I got from a dear Parfumo member:
With Black Sugar, it’s also a bit of a thing: it wants to appear mysterious and dark, but

it is as mysterious as Uschi Glas in an Oktoberfest dirndl and as dark as a gummy bear dressed as a goth!!!!
It’s Pink Sugar with a hint of incense!

There’s no scent progression like with most Aquolinas, they remain quite constant, are long-lasting, and the sugary sweetness seems to come out a bit stronger after hours, maybe it just seems that way because the sweetness gets on your nerves over time.

In winter, I will definitely love this scent, but until then it’s still a long way off and I remain with the traditional shooting greeting that has been echoing through the streets here in my self-chosen exile for days:
"scheene Schütza!"
