So, it's been that time again - reaching into the bottling drawer, this time an expensive one :)
On Friday I had a date with my girlfriend, we just wanted to stroll around the city and then go out for a bite to eat. So I reached for the "sweet" category because it always fits and I just felt like it.
That's when I picked up the "Black Collection - II (perfume) | Widian / AJ Arabia", which I managed to get hold of in the souk a while ago.
It wasn't the first time I'd worn it, but the first time I wore it, it was a bit underwhelming and I wasn't really convinced (that was in the movie theater a few days before)..
So, the fragrance is on, I feel really good and I'm slowly getting ready to go out. This incredibly beautiful plum scent came up again, really sweet and oriental with a plum cake association. I think that the mandarin here adds this slightly spicy-fruity note to the plum and it's all wrapped up in a wonderful vanilla However, I have to say that I don't detect anything woody - at least not yet, sometimes you have to wear the fragrances more often to get everything out of them :)
So off I went, initially still a little "disappointed" by the performance, I just wish the DNA had a slightly stronger presence. After all, I want to smell such great DNA all the time! "Well" I thought to myself and was just curious how I would perceive it throughout the day or late afternoon and especially how long it would last.
When we arrived in the city, I didn't comment on the scent - so I thought to myself that you can't really smell it anymore.
After a few hours, however, we went to the restaurant.
When we arrived, took off our jackets and sat down - that's when it happened.
I was suddenly sitting in such a pleasant cloud of scent that kept coming to life as soon as I moved, which just made me... yes... happy! I immediately had my memories of
Isola Blu Parfum in my head (completely different direction, of course), where I had the same phenomenon. You can smell it in itself, but not strongly, rather very softly - it only reaches your nose when you move and also lights up the people nearby (at least for me - mega!).
So we sat there, we'd had a wonderful evening and a delicious meal - including a drink.
Now we finally got a reaction:
S: "Tell me, what fragrance are you wearing today?"
"That's the one I was wearing at the movies"
S: "Really? But you didn't smell it like that then" (I was wearing a turtleneck sweater then)
"I wanted to give it another chance today, otherwise I would have worn another one"
S: "Very good, I like it! It's really very comfortable. I'd like to get closer right away"
I can really only confirm this "very pleasant", for me it's actually the perfect fragrance for dates for two or when you're in a cozy group.
I assume that the fragrance is intended precisely for such purposes. Because with this fragrance you really have to get a little closer to smell it, but anyone who has already tested this fragrance will also know why you want to get closer! :)
To summarize:
A really beautiful and above all well-rounded fragrance! For me a "private fragrance" because you have to invade your privacy a bit to be able to smell this work.
A composition in which the plum is in the foreground and evokes thoughts of a plum cake, all enveloped in a wonderfully soft and warming vanilla.
For those who are looking for a fragrance that is not intrusive and certainly doesn't offend anywhere, but can be sweet.
For those moments as a couple when the world around you is allowed to stand still.
For those who want to be seduced by a fragrance.
Does any of this appeal to you? Then this is certainly a fragrance for you.
Sensual, seductive and attractive - simply beautiful.
Thank you for your time and for reading! :)
