First top, later too much incense
At first, I was very pleasantly surprised by the fragrance. At first, it smelled like a "beautiful embrace" to me. Also very feminine. However, after a few hours, the incense became more and more prominent. It even remained very strong until the next day, making me feel a little nauseous at night. So unfortunately not for me at all. For people who like incense, however, it could be a very nice fragrance.

Happiness found
This morning I saw an advertisement for Emil Elise in Breuninger Düsseldorf and thought to myself, if I have to go to Düsseldorf anyway, I'll check out the new Emil Elise.

I was familiar with the brand as I tested all the fragrances when they came to Düsseldorf, but I wasn't convinced by any of them. I didn't like the Melting Lust, but the rest were mediocre, at least so far.

As some other perfumers have said, this fragrance is very similar to Hibiscus Mahajád, but for me it's clearly not a dupe. You could compare it to Club Black Eau de Toilette and Althaïr, even though they both smell similar, they end up going in different directions. This fragrance has a little more depth, a little more meaning, which is why I would also prefer it to Hibiscus Mahajád, even if it may not be quite suitable on very warm summer days, but again, everyone as he wants, all just my opinion.

The sillage seems to be pretty good too. I only sprayed it once on my hand, but was asked about it twice, which leaves a very positive impression for me. Unfortunately, I can't say too much about the longevity yet, I've had it on for 5 hours and I notice a veil of fragrance from time to time.

Unfortunately, I haven't bought it yet, as I wanted to see the reaction of those around me first, but as everyone reacts positively to it, I will definitely do so in the next few days. So a clear recommendation from me :)

Nothing expected, completely flashed!
Went to Breuninger again today, for me a short walk through the beautiful Hofgarten...and there I am.

A large, chic Emile Elise stand right at the main entrance.
Until now, I only knew the Melting Lust, the Dancing on Goosebumps and the Twisted Sin from last winter.

Each quite nice in their own right, but not enough to buy, although the brand's prices are very moderate.

Quite different today with Choose Happiness.

What an extraordinary fragrance!!!

I've never smelled anything like this before, except for Hibiscus Mahajád .

And even if both fragrances drift a little towards the feminine in my opinion, they both belong in my top 5 list from now on
I'll leave it to the experts to dissect the fragrance and how it feels, I for one am happy to own it as of today.
