Okay, I admit it. The first part of my title comes from the Superman Comics, whereby the saying was actually only worked into these comics by a music-loving Superman Comics employee many years ago, because the title here, which is called in the original "Up, up and away", is actually a song from the US pop group "The 5th Dimension".
Well, but since DonJuanDeCat is known to be on comics, he knew of course that this saying is in Superman, yes, Nerds halt :D
But all right, let's come up with something cooler for you! D
Warmer weather! I bet you all (or at least most) long to get back to summer. Long forgotten is the heat wave, which, for example, had ensured that there was hardly any water left in the sewer systems and stank everywhere like hell after... something that I prefer not to describe in detail. The sleepless nights have long been forgotten, as one could not sleep due to the humid heat. Sticky conditions have long been forgotten, because you have sweated like stupid with every smallest movement. And you want all that again? Of course I am! Whoever asks such stupid questions as I do...! D
Okay okay, summer is... or can be beautiful. If it's not an exaggeration. But I just need that great rhythm with the seasons. A place where it's always summer (or winter) wouldn't be for me. Well, maybe I say that because I like the summer a little bit less than other people at the moment, and because the summer this year wasn't soo great for me, but it really doesn't have to be 30 degrees every day of the year for me! It's too... well, it's too hot D
But for those who want to escape the cool seasons, there is a scent like Vanori here. Because Vanori should radiate sunshine and take you to beautiful, exotic and warm places! To Southeast Asia, for example. Like Thailand, Vietnam, Bali... and such countries, by the way all very recommendable, once you should have seen one of these countries, even if the flight there with about 15-17 hours (and longer...) is a little horrible :D
But now for the scent!
The fragrance:
The fragrance begins with pink pepper and a little vanilla, which together with the grapefruit make an excellent fragrance. The sweetish notes, especially the powdery note of vanilla, ensure that the grapefruit here has a fresh citrus scent, but not a tingling citrus scent and that the whole thing looks more like a pastry. Like one of those loose-fruity fruit tarts or cakes. Like tangerine or orange cakes, for example, but with tasty (and by the way not bitter) grapefruit. Yes, right, once you have the picture of such a cake in front of your eyes, the water doesn't even stop converging in your mouth :DD
Benzoin then makes the whole thing even softer and softer, so that the fragrance appears particularly cuddly and delicate, especially if the fragrance later reminds a little less of cakes and smells more like a soft-sweet-powdery fragrance.
A little later a large part of the sweetness comes from the honey, but this fragrance should not be imagined here as heavy and sticky, but simply as a nice and sweetly fragrant fragrance, which is pleasant in the nose :D
Even later, from the base, I continue to smell sweet notes coming from a mix of amber and honey, but also jasmine and some vanilla. Because of the vanilla, the fragrance remains powdery and soft, and this softness is further enhanced by the benzoin and other resins that cannot be further determined. All in all a very beautiful fragrance, even if it doesn't offer a lot of new things. Well, only that you can smell the honey here (in the middle part) well, without this smell appearing particularly spicy or sticky, but simply beautiful. The very late base smells of vanilla again.
The Sillage and the shelf life:
The Sillage is okay, not particularly strong, but also not weak and thus in the good, average range, where it is good to smell, without leaving a too large fragrance cloud, if you do not spray yourself from top to bottom.
The shelf life with the most fragrances is three to four hours. After that the fragrance smells almost only of vanilla, but this for endless hours :D So the shelf life is laaong!
The bottle:
The bottle is clear and has a rounded, inflated shape. On the front you see a black and white label with a drawing of vanilla flowers (I suppose... :D), which look quite nice. I love such etiquette as this boring puristic etiquette, which simply has the name on it. The lid looks gold-plated and is cylindrical. A nice bottle, neither exceptionally pretty nor ugly.
Soo... according to the description of the scent, I should feel like I've been transferred to warm climes. And yes, that's true to a certain extent. Of course, the fragrance is not one of those citric and sparkling fragrances that give you a feeling of refreshment, but it is warmer. Despite this feeling of exotic places, this does not mean that the scent is a pure summer scent. It is one of those fragrances that are sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet, so that they are well wearable on warm (but not too hot) days, but I think autumn is the right time for such a fragrance.
It is suitable for daytime, but also in the evening and when going out. I thought it was great that he reminded me of tasty cakes in the beginning and only then did he smell more like a perfume. So you can drool a little when the water in your mouth flows together and still smell good afterwards :D
And even if the fragrance is supposed to be unisex, for me it is actually a women's fragrance, due to its sweet, powdery and soft notes, which all smell quite feminine here, like the tender skin of a woman... or a cat :DD
It's worth trying, you ladies might like it just as much as I do.
Well then, I wish everyone a nice evening :)
