Evangeline Teone Reinthal Natural Perfume 2023

I simply thought my last review was too long ago. And the last two were rather negatively tinged. So why not dedicate myself to the direction I love more than any other? With this particularly successful fragrance that seemingly only a few people know?

Teone Reinthal works exclusively with plant-based & natural ingredients of great quality, and you can tell that from her fragrances. Sometimes I find her blending with them more successful, sometimes less so. The shipping & customs costs are also always quite unappetizing, at a minimum of 30% of the order value, which, alongside the not inexpensive prices of the fragrances, leads to them being less widespread. Testing is correspondingly only possible with also not inexpensive sample sets or good contacts.

I hesitated for a few months before buying this fragrance, as I found the "20: The Masculine Perfume of an Iconic Pair | Clive Christian" at least just as unique & beautiful in terms of the fresh citrus with my beloved Yuzu. Ultimately, I loved both so much after extensive testing that I bought them at the same time.

About the fragrance:
Well, where do I even start?
The combination of citrus fruits here is so unique & refreshing that I have never smelled anything like it elsewhere. As a owner of pure citrus oils, the following can be stated: Here they have been combined into a hardly distinguishable individual, and I simply call it Yuzumotte. The citrusy bitterness of bergamot with the bitter-juicy, slightly mandarin-like yuzu, the elegantly muted neroli with the extremely bright, yellow lemon, they make my mouth water.
The also cool, herbal lavender is noticeably refreshing here as well, but leaves the citrus notes the stage for most of the duration. That's how it should be (for me).
The depth comes from the violet leaf & camphor tree. Their green-floral facets are also refreshing here. I also think I can sense a woody facet of cypress.
The sandalwood in the base provides the necessary hold as a fixative, without appearing too creamy or spicy. I am particularly sensitive to this when it comes to citrus fragrances. The lightness & freshness prevail, to my advantage.

This fragrance hits exactly the right note for me: completely refreshing, natural, wearable but still special with the right depth.
What more could an absolute citrus & summer child want? Not much! I really can't get enough of it. One of my top citrus picks.

Thank you, Teone, for this wonderful fragrance.
And thank you all for reading!
