Farewell, beloved friend.

At Louis Vuitton at the perfume stand:
"Excuse me, may I ask what fragrance you are wearing?"
Private:
"That smells good here, who is that?"
and the constant "What are you wearing?"
That's what I can expect when I wear Cinema.
And I wear Cinema, and how I wear it!
For 15 years. Almost every day, almost always.

Only on the warmest and also the coldest days of the year not.
And, if I want to restrain myself, because always, really always I am asked about it.
People love him... on me at least.
If the fragrance is repurchased, you like him on himself not so, more often not at all.
How many times I'm so already come to new bottles, I may not even betray.
Unfortunately, is the formulation of my last 2 90ml bottles of significant difference.
The power is almost lost, has lost much of its magic.
The warmth is missing.
The power is no longer felt.
He now often disappears secretly, while he used to stay sometimes for days, but at least 24 hours.
At the laundry also times weeks - without exaggerating.

On my search for possible reasons, I thereby but only conjecture found, I came across terrible news.
Cinema is discontinued.
Confirmed by extremely ambitious customer service.
And so it is indeed a long-unannounced farewell.
A secret one. One of the cowardly variety.

What I have in the closet is enough for the next 10 years. It hurts anyway.
Am bad at saying goodbye.

But maybe... we see each other sometime again.

Cinéma - come celebrate our 17th anniversary

17 years long accompanies me this fragrance now already -
exactly as old I was when I was allowed to smell him for the first time.

I still remember the moment exactly ... I was a schoolgirl, had bought something at Douglas and got the obligatory perfume sample. On the bus on the way home, I sniffed it curiously and sprayed it in the air. At first I thought: hmm, nothing special but also somehow interesting, different from all the scents I had smelled so far. It definitely stayed in my mind. The next morning I sprayed the sample for the first time on my skin.
From then on, our love story began. The fragrance became more and more pleasant, the citrus what I usually do not like so laid down and gave way to the warmer nuances - which I like incredibly.

Throughout the day, I kept smelling my wrist. I had not found a scent that was "my" scent until this point. Which corresponded so completely to me. I harvested over the day distributed several compliments and had to stand speech and answer to my new perfume. Still in the afternoon I stood again with Douglas and got hold of my first bottle of Cinéma.

I don't even know how many I have already repurchased of it in all these years. Many in any case, because he has become my absolute and so far undisputed number 1.

It makes me very sad to read more and more often that the production is discontinued and he will soon go from us. I had hoped to be able to celebrate also still another 25-year anniversary with him.

Great cinema

Also this fine fragrance was allowed to move into my collection, he was long a wish candidate. Now he is with me and I want to try to put his olfactory aura into words.

Golden YSL lettering characterizes the clear rectangular bottle, like the credits of the contributors after a movie, the letters on the back seem. Whether it is a good movie ...?

I am curious. Wine is ready.
I don't have popcorn, don't need it.
The curtain's going up.
I make myself comfortable in my chair.
It's getting dark.
3 -2-1- start.
After the usual commercial break comes the blockbuster. The movie begins.

Supporting actors: light Mandarin ladies open, dancing lightly along, chatting, whispering. Silly they leave small traces, the shell remnants are visible everywhere.
Impossible, can someone clean that up!!!

Now small inconspicuous almond boys appear, rather cheekily,
however, they are extras and only appear briefly as subtitles.
They disappear after clear instruction of the director more or less involuntarily in the background and make then the following cuddly and lovely leading lady Vanille place.

Tush! Lots of music and light - diva-like Ms. Vanille moves amid white flowers, she is the star. Soft, white and fluffy she floats along and enchants everyone present. Blossoms and vanilla dance together for a long time in a lulling way that makes you a little sleepy.

Suddenly there comes a windy Amberkerl along, such a conceited thing.
Wasn't in the script at all. Wants to unite with the vanilla, which of course resists.
Dirty sex scenes ensue. OMG, is that PG?!?!?
The intoxicating union continues, sweaty musky vapors enveloping the two.

The director rages. He said they should stick to the script. So it is interrupted and the Amberkerl thrown out. He's gone.

He's gone. He's gone
The vanilla is saved, takes a final bow and blows away. Little minx.

Credits.

A smut flick with a happy ending. It is now already dark in the cinema hall, the cleaning lady clears away the tangerine peels and other traces.....

I'm delighted with the lovely cast.
A heady scent strip, fine and with a bit of scandalous dirt.

Will be saved and stored professionally.

;-))))

This blind buy was worth it!

Sweet and fresh, but by fresh I do not mean aquatic, it evokes associations of a fragrant day cream. One spray and you feel cared for, fresh and clean. A few "Italian body powder vibes" I also associate with the fragrance, although it is not powdery. It is simply this well-groomed feeling, which the fragrance thus awakens.
He is not sultry, pungent, pappsüß or even too intrusive. In my opinion, a super all-rounder. Whether in the office, leisure or before going to sleep.
Has surprised me positively!

Tangerine on petals in a bed of vanilla

I just wanted to write a response to the previous review, but soon realized that I was instead describing my own experience with this fragrance. So it became just but rather its own review.
It always fascinates me how differently a fragrance can be experienced. I smell here nothing bitter at the beginning, but mainly tangerine, which becomes quite soft after a short time by almond. It recedes somewhat into the background over time, but still accompanies me there for a long time and provides a quiet freshness, like a gentle counterpoint to the now emerging sweetness and the first hint of vanilla. At the same time, more floral scents rise to my nose, especially the scent of jasmine. The whole is carried by the warmth of musk and amber. At the end remains a warm, powdery vanilla, which lasts on my somewhat difficult skin for hours, albeit very close to the body.
For me, Cinéma is a subtle, flattering fragrance that more or less always goes. He does not overwhelm and fits especially well for spring and summer and is probably less suitable for the very big appearance. For sure this Cinéma will be a permanent part of my collection for a long time.
