fallintostars Strangelove NYC 2019 Eau de Parfum

About a year ago, Oud, Rose, and Saffron were still unknown to me. And the idea that one could enjoy such scents was unimaginable for me. In one of my swap packages, there was a small sample of Amber Aoud. I wasn't immediately thrilled, but there was a fascination. The more I tested it, the more I liked it. But AO is heavier for me. Then I got a sample of Midnight Special ;) It's sweeter, fruitier - yes, a bit like rose jam with saffron. All three are sensational compositions in the Rose-Saffron-Oud group.

Fallintostars is light when I compare it to the others. And yes, it has a slight stable note from the Oud. But it's wonderful, not overpowering or disgusting, rather it gives it a special touch. With ginger and bergamot, it has a fine fruity note. I perceive a really minimal mint/menthol note. The saffron is perfectly dosed, not too much and not too little. And even though it is very potent, lasts long, and radiates relatively well. It is not heavy. While I usually like sweet scents, this one is not sweet either. Even rosewood, which is usually tricky for me in fragrances, doesn't bother me here. I find it very elegant; you might stand out a bit, but it's not too much.

After meltmyheart, this is another dreamy scent. I have the small bottles and think they will last a lifetime. Because one spray is enough, and you are well-scented. Everything about you is light because your bottle is also lightweight, simple, which I particularly like. The sprayer could produce a finer mist, but that's complaining at a high level.
