Nivea Cream with Almond Powder

My first impression was: something balsamic-lightly spicy (perhaps the rosemary and mint), a few seconds of orange that quickly dissipated, and thick, creamy, slightly sweet Nivea cream.
In this form, I have never smelled a cream note in any perfume before!
In the background, a subtle, really NOT squeaky artificial vanilla emerges, still embedded in Nivea cream.
Soon after, the almond becomes present, which, together with the neroli note, ensures that the scent never becomes unbearably cloyingly sweet.
Then the initially very creamy Nivea scent turns powdery; cute, pink powder, without becoming "dust-dry powdery," yet the smell of (Nivea) cream remains, even though cream and powder actually contradict each other - in this case, they do not.
Mi Fa is not a classically heavy, sugary, dense gourmand, which I had feared a bit before the test; it is a very soft scent that I could still perceive on my wrist the next morning.
Certainly not a going-out party scent, I don’t find it childish - despite the playful bottle - it really surprised me because I expected something overly sweet and squeaky.
I perceive it as very fine and subtle, without being inconspicuous.

Der Kommentatorin sei Dank fällt es mir ein! Der Duft ist einzig nur Erinnerung an meinen Vater, der frisch geduscht und mit Nivea & süßem Rasierwasser aus dem Bad kommt. Mehr ist dieser Duft nicht (wert) und ich weiß einfach nicht, wo da bei all dem pudrig holzig-würzigem Überbleibsel der heiß gelobte Gourmand sein soll... Einfach nur eine Dröhnung, die etwas billig daherkommt. Mit Marchmellows o. meinem geliebten Lann-Ael ist das nicht im Ansatz vergleichbar o. ich bin nur phantasielos.

rosa Puder, aber nicht aufdringlich - das triffts!
