The Alps? Really?

I was so excited for this release, but I am so grateful I did not blind buy it. Nothing about it places me in the Alps after the first few minutes. At first, it smells like that scene in the Sound of Music when Julie Andrews is running around the mountains in the green grass, except in my mind the mountains are full of tiny yellow wildflowers. At first I wondered if there could be a touch of linden in the top notes. It fades quickly, and some terrible "ambergris" comes out full force, not smelling like any ambergris I've ever come across. It smells funky in a bad way. Fishy and stale and has no place in the Alps. Then it essentially reduces down to something like his L'Eau. A Taueraide that is becoming too redundant to the point where now I'm going, ok we are going to have the Taueraide with [insert notes] and know what something will smell like. Tobacco, woods, lavender. You name it, he mixes it with Taueraide. I saw someone online say that this is an entirely new creation, but I feel the polar opposite. I've smelled it before, too many times. I smell it in Incense Extreme, in Le Maroc Pour Femme, in L'Eau, in Orange Star. It's old and tired, like Angel or Alien flankers. It smells like laundry detergent made of synthetic musks. Lasted the entire day, much to my chagrin. Big pass on this. No full bottle, no thank you.

Mountaintop to Fancy Hotel

The first impression is what I can only describe as a cold breeze wafting through fresh green herbs, underpinned by a mineral accord. I was immediately certain this was it: the snow queen fragrance I’ve been searching for!

But after about 15 minutes, those glorious icy herbs fade, replaced by powdery notes blended with warming spices, lavender, white musk, and what I swear is a hint of cedar…and that’s where it stays.

It’s a pleasant if uninspired fragrance, and the abrupt shift from “immortal ruler of the ice kingdom” to “luxury concierge” is a disappointing departure from what the notes promise. Projection is modest, and longevity is a little above average.

Final verdict: a nice fragrance haunted by the ghost of what it could have been if only it lived up to that gorgeous first spray.

If you're looking for ice cold realness, I recommend Útilykt Eau de Parfum or maybe Craft , depending on your tastes.

All the flower to you

We continue with the round of perfume reviews that, well, I thought they were going to be the panacea and in the end, well, they are good but not that great.

L'Air Des Alpes Suisses, where I hope the air in the Swiss Alps is not the same as what is in this bottle because my God, what a headache it must give.

A very fresh, very aromatic and spicy opening with those hints of conifers such as pine and fir, it is like being in a forest where it recently rained and everything is splendidly green.

Buuuut, like all good things it doesn't last long, and it all goes away after an hour, leaving behind some amber and sweet floral tones that are clearly lavender, lily and to a much lesser extent orchid, reminding me of a fabric softener, but more intense. It is like Midsommar in the part where they lie down in the middle of a meadow but full of flowers.

And that's it, there are no more developments in this fragrance. For me, it's a floral fabric softener scent that will make you smell clean for more than 8 hours. The best thing about it is that it could be used for any season, but, once again, with a Tauer perfume, don't go overboard. I see another signature perfume here, if you like the smell of course.

Once again, I'm very glad I bought a sample. You never know what you might find coming out of the head of a freelance perfumer. Which I really appreciate. Totally unisex, I must add.
It's not something I would buy, but it's something I would gladly accept as a gift.

In short: A bouquet of flowers for you, so you can smell like freshly washed clothes.

Stripped down Reflection Man / Reflection 45

I can see what people mean when they say this smells like Reflection Man or Reflection 45....but it's like there is one similar top note or accord and that's it. This is like if you took one of the many top notes of Reflection and made it into this.

It's like the sweet vanilla / resinous / cinnamon quality...maybe if you stripped down Reflection and mixed it with Le Male.

It's very nice, I wish it had a little more complexity to it in the top. Personally, Relfection 45 is one of the greatest openings in the world to me...the sad part is that lasts a whole 15-30 mins that I get any sort of projection then it turns into a more resinous skin scent, it's darker then Reflection Man which I like.

Given reflections poor performance...I could see this as a potential alternative if paired with one of the attars from Amouage, like Vanilla Barka (which I have done, and seems to be incredible!)

What if

All in all, it's a beautiful perfume that reminisces of clean white linen drying in an Alpine mountain setting. Picture a tiny water stream, grass all around, some flowers and snowy peaks all around.

It smells clean, but it's overdoses with white musk. I don't see it listed, but if someone here says it doesn't contain any, come and fight me. Physically.

To me, a very nice scent worth having, but I have a constant feeling that it got very close to what it could have been, although something's missing. I cannot say what, I cannot define it (maybe less clean linen and more herbs), but it is a "what if" for me.
