After the party
We got home at three in the morning. What a roaring party. It's the height of summer. I was pretty sweaty from dancing and a bit drunk. We had applied plenty of repellent to protect us from the mosquitoes at the lake. A small amount of it is still noticeable on our skin. There's also a hint of my perfume from yesterday. Extase Musk from Muelhens. I remove my make-up. I look at my 20-year-old face in the mirror as I carefully remove the powder make-up. Then I slip into a nightgown and snuggle under the comforter. A little sleep is now urgently needed. But celebrations should be celebrated as they fall. After all, we only live once.

I can only guess whether Pillow Talk has echoes of Shalimar. I only know the great classic in passing. I wore Extase Musk myself as a young woman and I can also recognize facets of it in this fragrance. This sensual sweetness, this hint of smudginess, that sounds very familiar to me. Musk is not listed here, but I'm almost certain that this soft, grubby sweetness comes from the flowers and the musk, and I really like that. Human skin, after a night of fun, a bit of sweat and the remnants of Extase Musk. Peru balsam and patchouli add something resinous and dark, and here I actually have a slight association with anti-buzz and similar repellents. But it's not bad at all. As I struggle with allergies myself, I sometimes wear mixtures like this on my skin in summer. Who knows? Maybe this scent will also protect you from those nasty pests?

An exciting composition that immediately appeals to me. It would be a touch too grungy for me overall, I think I can also detect some civet, as long as the animalic quality doesn't come exclusively from the flowers, but it's really good. And certainly not everyday. 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 big thank you for the testing opportunity goes to the lovely Gandix.

A dreamlike fragrance
Wow - there was a direct spark between me and Pillow Talk. This is an incredibly beautiful fragrance. The lovely Jana, from whom I received this bottle (thank you again!), mentioned that she knows someone who has suggested that Pillow Talk is similar to Shalimar Eau de Parfum. I wouldn't go quite that far. For me, Pillow Talk is a touch more oriental and Christmassy with a little less fruit and soap compared to Shalimar Extrait.

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

It lasts for 10 to 12 hours and the sillage is also impressive. I noticed the fragrance on me very often, which doesn't happen that often with fragrances, as you tend to become fragrance-blind over time. My best friend was similarly enthusiastic. I also find this unisex fragrance rather feminine. But as great as it smells, I would still wear it any time.

The Pillow Talk is simply wonderful. It also makes me think of a walk through the Christmas market. For me, that's a 10/10! Great!
