Well groomed from head to toe

The perfume I have known for a long time, and it was never one that I wanted. For a long time I loved loud, oriental fragrances - the more "KAWUMM!", the better.

Eventually, I got tired of my whoompers. Even my beloved Noa started to annoy me, became too strong and I needed a creamy, gentle alternative.

For weeks I sniffed my way through various perfumeries in 3 countries, was always annoyed and wanted a fragrance that I could not describe directly. In my search, it turned out that many associate floral and powdery as creamy, which for me has nothing to do with each other. It may be floral and powdery to it, but the focus should smell like a cream jar.

Even the online search helped little. Again and again Noa was recommended to me or Nivea - unfortunately, the Nivea perfume just does not smell good on me.

At some point I stood frustrated in the drugstore, annoyed and at ahe desperate. I liked soon no more perfume, I felt crushed by too much fragrance and artificiality. I wavered the end of my perfume love.

From S Oliver I already had fragrances, and my hand grabbed first the EDP - unfortunately, it was still too wummsend me. The handle to the EdT was the right thing - I was like in heaven. Creamy, delicate. Light floral notes, in addition tangy (which is usually not my direction), I perceive something citrus.

The fragrance changes little, is cozy and close to the body. No long shelf life, more than 2, 3 hours he is not perceptible.

The bottle is surprisingly clean for a cheap drugstore fragrance, does not look cheap and is a small hand-flatterer. Also in the handbag he is not a bottle that looks quickly angegrabbelt, only the lid gets slowly scratches.

The fragrance is not a perfume for special occasions. However, I wear him immensely happy in everyday life, when I just want to look well-groomed or everything is a bit too much for me. On days when I leave the music off on the way to work and listen to a podcast at most. On days when I can't be approached before the third coffee. Or days on which the colleague has used her Armani perfume again to bathe and I'm already nauseous in the hallway.

Sometimes I wear my perfume only at work, and my colleague likes to call my drawer "the mini-Douglas". And if it should be soft and neat, but not intrusive, this fragrance is my choice.

Nothing, but nothing special at all. And that makes it very special.

No one will be bothered by this fragrance. Probably many find him boring, and that's absolutely fine. A pleasing mainstream fragrance, he has a rightful place on my shelf (or my handbag).

Of which I now already have the second bottle. The EdT just always goes and is therefore empty - unlike my perfumes "for the special occasion" :)

That's right. These small fragrances, friendly, open-plan, noncommittal without being trivial, they like to be neglected. And this one is just such a fragrance.

The Femme of Zara is also such a one.
Have me the voriges time to test aufgesprüht and think I'll get me soon once. At the price nothing is lost :)
But can not say anything about the durability, etc., because the next to the others I have tried a little gone under.

Absolutely 😊
As I said, I'll have to test it again soon because it was a lot lighter than the others I had on my arm. But I definitely really liked the light one I smelled. :)
And while you're there, Friday - Freaking Gorgeous would also be worth a quick test.
It seems to fade after a short time, but then it comes back - but it's also very light. 😊
If you feel like it, you can give me feedback after the test. I'd be very interested to hear what you think 🙃

Yes, sometimes it takes just such a thing. Then I always like to reach for Close from GAP. Wonderful for customer meetings. Man does not always have to smell perfumed.

Wonderfully described. The fragrance is special because it is nothing special.
I am also more the faction 'The fragrance must be suitable for everyday use', because so many fragrances for special occasions I need now times nciht.
