An Unforgettable Fragrance Journey Part 2/2

Here I am again, with Part 2, this time about a vanilla, marshmallow, and lipstick scent.
This fragrance was first introduced to me by the perfumer.
And it was love at first sniff!
I am very grateful to him for introducing/recommending this scent, as it also has a fragrance DNA reminiscent of a scent that was unfortunately discontinued recently and is greatly missed and loved by many.
The good man knew immediately what I was looking for because he hit the nail on the head with Floranilla!
In my opinion, it is a very underrated treasure in the niche fragrance world.
As always, I test the fragrance of my choice first on a test strip, and then if I like it, I spray it on my skin.
With Floranilla, I had to spray it on my skin after just 2 minutes because I liked it so much!:))
And it was the right decision because it unfolded so wonderfully and perfectly that I could hardly get enough of it and it stuck to my wrist the whole time.
The good man understood my enthusiasm and shared my joy:))
The scent reminds me very much of the fragrance DNA of Kilian Princess and Prada Candy:D
Princess because it has the same marshmallow note (even though no marshmallow note is listed, you can clearly smell it intensely)
Prada Candy because of the beautiful powdery lipstick note HEAVENLY!
Both are very good and wonderful fragrances, especially if you are into this scent direction:))
The perfumer also said that if you prefer/love marshmallow-lipstick scents, this is exactly the right choice. I agree! (He means Floranilla)
Since I don't want to keep anyone in suspense, I will start with the fine part, namely the fragrance description....;))
The fragrance...
Opens with a very fine, noble vanilla note that envelops and surrounds the soul.
The scent is accompanied throughout its development by the vanilla note, which becomes creamier and develops a fine velvety note.
The marshmallow note doesn't take long to appear and merges with the vanilla note:)
It becomes creamier and fluffier as the marshmallow note enjoys being in the spotlight and unfolds in its most beautiful form...
The more I smell it, the more I feel like I just sprayed Kilian Princess on my skin because the marshmallow note of Floranilla unfolds just like in Princess, only Floranilla is the sweeter and warmer version of Princess. (At least on my skin)
Even though they share almost the same fragrance DNA, I still don't want to say it's a dupe, even if both show hardly any differences on my skin, because as we know, every fragrance develops differently on each skin.
Soft powdery notes and a noble lipstick note blend with the vanilla and marshmallow notes together and occasionally seduce the senses with a beautiful but present elegance.
Floranilla reminds me of Prada Candy because both have the same sweet, creamy but not waxy lipstick note.
This fragrance shows many or has many facets, and it is a very mature scent,
but at the same time sensual and playful... Elegant as well because it doesn't smell cheap or mainstream.
It can also be beautifully worn for going out or for sensual private moments;)
To make it short, it is also somewhat addictive:D

Sillage is very good on the skin for 7 hours, still well perceivable on clothing the next day.
I can't thank the perfumer enough! Especially for the wonderful and special fragrance journey but also for his honesty and wonderful way of receiving and teaching:)))

You've made me curious since I only know the brand from Cacao I'm the Sun (which I absolutely love). It’s definitely worth giving another one a try :-) Marshmallow and lipstick always go well together!

A very beautiful and passionate comment from you! Wonderful! I just didn't connect with the scent personally. But that means there's more for you! :-)
