Autumn Walk
Cold, but not biting October air penetrates the nose, which inexplicably has led one down the right path.

One simply strolls along, completely forgetting the time, only to suddenly arrive at this place:

Large, decades-old trees are visible, their leaves colored in every imaginable shade of red and brown, exuding an intense, fresh, and ethereal hint reminiscent of hibiscus and lotus.

Much fallen, rain-soaked foliage lies densely overlapping on the rain-soaked, strongly fragrant pitch-black earth.

Some time later, the air has softened, individual sunbeams provide a lovely inner warmth, and the path begins to narrow, where a flicker of concern arises that it might lead into nothingness, yet one continues on.

The trees and foliage become sparse, the path is now only passable foot - by - foot, revealing after a few meters a glimpse of a small, distant clay hut standing next to a decayed, moss-covered tree, and one realizes with the last deep breath:

This beautiful autumn walk will be fondly remembered from time to time.

This is Telesthesia for me.

Overall, the fragrance lasts 6 hours on my skin.

The sillage is designed in the first 1.5 hours to be very noticeable at half an arm's length and then settles to a quarter arm's length for another 1.5 hours before gradually reducing to a quiet finish.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to our Parfumo "Honk1510" for the sample.

And what about teeeee....?
Sixteen92. A brand from the States that has received little attention here (so far).
Looking at the fragrances, it becomes clear that many of them are gourmands.
Whipped cream, chocolate, caramel, espresso, etc. But there are also notes like: leaves, stone
and book notes.
So I ordered 5 samples of the brand directly from the USA.
In general, I can already say that not a single one was bad.
Moreover, they are very high-quality oils that spread easily and are quite economical
to use. They also leave a slight sheen on the skin.

As a freebie, a sixth sample was included as well.
I would like to dedicate my comment to the fragrance that I liked the most.
Telesthesia
The scent has a really lovely tea note. Whether it's black or red tea leaf, I can't
really say. This tea note feels slightly ethereal. Really interesting.
Additionally, I perceive a slightly vanilla note in the drydown.
The whole thing is underscored by woodiness.

I find it can be worn by both genders.
The fragrance lasts about 6 hours on me and the sillage is moderate.

Overall, a really great scent and a brand that deserves more attention
than it currently gets. I don't know how it is in the States.

Especially the ladies should take a look at this.
I myself will definitely test more fragrances from Sixteen92.

Thank you for your attention :-)

This has that "fallen leaf" scent that many fall fragrances are trying to capture, like petrichor but less wet. It's nice for fall.

Do you feel the rooibos
Here in the room
The sharp nutmeg
In the warm clay
From bitter cloves
Sweet wood
A whisper
With a mouth of moss

A lightly sweet tea blend of Turkish apple or something similar, smells good, warm, spicy. If it were my style, I would recommend it.

Very authentic nutmeg and clay!!
Notes that blend perfectly with the tea accord and then turn into a
magical autumn-moss wonderland!

Tall trees, rain-soaked leaves, richly scented earth, and a small clay hut.
A beautiful autumn walk.
