Forever Love Pana Dora 2023

Do you remember what Nimm2 sweets taste like? The taste of the treats filled with a liquid center has burned itself into my brain. So it's all the nicer when a perfume manages to make moments from childhood shine in a new light. I will always love the sweets - Forever Love - how fitting.

The course of the new star in the sky of lemon fragrances seems all the more enticing. The melon entices with its playful yet natural acidity and brings lightness and variance into play. The fresh acidity develops more and more in a sweet direction as the fragrance progresses, which does not detract from its longevity. Admittedly, I am not a fan of fresh and tart lemon fragrances, simply because they are often too linear and unspectacular for me. I would often like to see a little more facets, which, if implemented purposefully, could also be good for the performance. Pana Dora simply doesn't play along with the game at all and does its own thing, which I already marveled at in Aqua de Dora. The house seems to have understood how to incorporate the citrus in Freshies as an essential building block in the foundation and at the same time allow notes such as melon, lily of the valley and mango to shine just as brightly here.
Forever Love is complex, no more so than orientals, florals, etc., but certainly more complex in its fragrance direction than comparable candidates. Forever Love also lacks balance. Rarely has it felt so good and right to breathe in a fragrance.

Here I am served a memory from my childhood on a silver platter, garnished with pieces of melon and strips of mango - not a hint of synthetics - uniquely pure and elegant. What more could you want
