Go to where the koala grows

Shock, horror, heart in my pants, oh no, oh no: I ordered the complete Zoologist Sample Set instead of individual samples because that was the only option where I could get the koala sample. And now it’s not even included or what?! Oh wait, there it is. It's sorted alphabetically. Oops.

I am quite sure that Koala doesn’t contain any pepper, yet I smell it in the very first moment. The frankincense must be to blame and makes the scent sharp for my nose. Additionally, the essential mint and eucalyptus oils with the floral undertone are beautiful. Small side note: Honey and menthol are listed in the pyramid, but on the inside of the sample booklet, it says "Menthol Honey Gumdrop."

Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for mint notes in perfumes to evoke a laundry detergent association for me. When I smell my wrist intently, I can recognize the individual components, but the scent wafts into my nose like a cloud, reminding me of acquaintances who have laundry detergent as a family scent - which surely just comes from the detergent.

Let’s return to the frankincense: It is definitely too prominent for me here. Eucalyptus-mint-flower alone would have been preferable.
Now it’s my misfortune that I simply don’t like frankincense and can only tolerate it in tiny doses. Still, I would have wished for a green-ethereal scent under a koala theme that radiates the lightness of life: hanging out and munching on eucalyptus, mating maybe every 2 to 3 years, but only when the female calls*, otherwise no obligations.

Just like a day in the life of a real koala bear.

*Determining the time of mating is the female koala's responsibility. It usually happens at the earliest when last year's offspring is independent, but often only every two to three years. (planet-wissen.de)

Edit: After a few hours of wearing it, a friend comes to visit me: Hmm, what smells so much like sandalwood here?

Schade, ich liebe Koalas, aber Weihrauch in Parfums leider nicht...

Ach witzig, Melisse2 mag ja auch gar keinen Weihrauch. Dein Kommentar ist sehr hilfreich. Für mich klingt das ansprechend (ich liebe Weihrauch) ich tu den gleich auf die Merkliste.

Eindeutig ein eindeutig guter Kommentar! Und das Leben eines Koalas - wenn nicht gerade alles in Deinem Habitat in Flammen steht - fände ich auch sehr begrüßenswert!
