... who speaks? ...
...nobody, right? I must still be dreaming, or am I already on the journey from dream to day? To daydream? - Whatever, we will see.
The dream last night. Or was the night a dream? - Questions and memories intertwine, dissolve, and intertwine again elsewhere. Perhaps images are not enough to understand, concepts even less so, other senses must help.

A cinnamon cloud presents itself with its spicy warmth. It seems to have stored something in its aromatic clouds. A feeling, a glow, a kind of love warmth still lingers. A sense of security in the hidden, in the secret, a kind of ... the thought remains unfinished. For it is the soft, orange freshness of an aromatic citrus fruit that now sets out to jog my memory. Interspersed with bright green, sour bergamot sprinkles with wake-up potential. That's right, now images gradually come, blurred sepia-powdered, half-dark smoky - iris and ylang-ylang enter the memory. The pulse rises almost imperceptibly, the heart dares not yet a complete memory sequence, prefers to remain in the vague, in the protective, diffuse bark breath and YY smoke. There, the event can retrogradely reshape itself with its subtle methods. Until it is good.

The skin, meanwhile, does not shy away from a precise memory. It is still moist, warmed by its broad encounter with a complementary skin. Their scents have mingled, their musk pearls have begun to flow, until they have expanded into a boundless something.
And this something knows the value of this shared reality. And it does not need to persist according to a measure of time; it lives in another world, to which time has no access. And where such a moment of oneness possesses the power to linger in timelessness.

And, as if to further enhance this felt impression, balsamic, resinous aromatic notes contribute their sweet validation of all of this. Which the heart can understand and accept well.
Herbaceous aromatic and spatially defined guaiac wood notes, soon flanked by soft patchouli earth, carry this experience into temporal consciousness, without wanting to continue it. It would only diminish the value of this experience, reducing it to something that could be desired.

And so it remains what it was and will continue to be. A true encounter, a deep reality that has inscribed its traces into the heart of skins, into the neural network of the brain, into the cells of the soul. What acts is real, whether we know it or not. ------

After the Party
At three o'clock in the morning, we came home. What a wild party. It's midsummer. I was sweating quite a bit from dancing and I'm a little tipsy. To protect ourselves from the mosquitoes by the lake, we applied plenty of repellent. A small remnant of it is still noticeable on our skin. Also a hint of my perfume from yesterday. Extase Musk by Muelhens. I remove my makeup. I look at my 20-year-old face in the mirror as I carefully take off the powder makeup. Then I slip into a nightgown and snuggle under the blanket. A bit of sleep is urgently needed now. But one should celebrate parties as they come. After all, we only live once.

Whether Pillow Talk has hints of Shalimar, I can only speculate. I only know the great classic fleetingly. I wore Extase Musk as a young woman and I can also recognize facets of this scent. This sensual sweetness, this hint of dirtiness, feels very familiar to me. Musk is not listed here, but I am almost sure that this gently dirty sweet component comes from the flowers and the musk, and I really like that. Human skin, after a night full of fun, a bit of sweat, and remnants of Extase Musk. Peru balsam and patchouli add something resinous and dark, and I actually get a bit of an association with Anti-Brumm and similar repellents. But that's not bad at all. Since I myself struggle with allergies, I sometimes wear exactly such mixtures on my skin in the summer. Who knows? Maybe this scent also protects against the nasty pests?

An exciting composition that speaks to me immediately. If it were a bit too dirty overall for me, I think I can also detect a bit of civet, unless the animalic notes come solely from the flowers, but this one is really good. And certainly not ordinary. A hint of vintage perfume here and there. And no woody amber or anything else that could annoy me. So off to the pillows! Yay!

A heartfelt thank you for the testing opportunity goes to dear Gandix.

A Dreamy Little Scent
Wow - there was an instant spark between me and the "Pillow Talk | Side Story." This is an unbelievably beautiful fragrance. The lovely Jana, from whom I received this sample (thank you again!), mentioned that she knows someone who claims that Pillow Talk bears a resemblance to "Shalimar (Eau de Parfum) | Guerlain." I wouldn't go that far. For me, Pillow Talk is a bit more oriental and festive with slightly less fruit and soap compared to "Shalimar (Extrait) | Guerlain."

The top note offers a wonderful combination of bergamot, oranges, and cinnamon. In the heart note, it smells woody, balsamic, warm, sweet, and floral with hints of amyris, violet, iris, and ylang-ylang. In the base, it continues to smell woody but also spicy, oriental, and festive. Thanks to Peru balsam, it has a sweet scent reminiscent of bourbon vanilla and again, cinnamon.

The longevity is strong at 10 to 12 hours, and the sillage is impressive as well. I often noticed the scent on myself, which is not something that happens frequently with fragrances, as you tend to become olfactorily blind over time. My best friend was similarly enthusiastic. I perceive this unisex fragrance as somewhat feminine. But as wonderful as it smells, I would wear it anytime.

The Pillow Talk is simply wonderful. It makes me think of a stroll through the Christmas market. For me, it's a 10/10! Fantastic!

A beautiful, though almost unspectacular scent with a citrusy fruity start, Ylang, spicy accents, and a woody, balsamic base.

A slightly sweet cuddle scent. Too vanilla-heavy for me.
