I also took part in the Parfumo competition and won a fragrance sample of "Cappadocia | Memo Paris". Since you can also win more by writing a review, this time the reviews will probably go beyond the much-criticized "beast fashion" and "best summer fragrance to hit on the girls" phrases. Apart from the fact that Cappadocia is neither one nor the other.
The first impression when spraying on the sample was comparable to the smell of the Berlin subway. When you walk down the stairs of the exit and the airstream of an arriving or departing train swirls this typical, tar-like smell around your nose.
For the first 10 minutes, during which the spiciness of saffron and incense dominated, I found the fragrance too masculine for me. But then the fragrance became softer, more floral and sweeter. Nevertheless, a slightly tart note always remains in the background. But tar? Or leather?
Personally, I find the fragrance exciting. I can't think of a comparable fragrance so far. Would I wear it? I don't know yet.

I blindly ordered Fascent in a fit of daring after the fragrance was listed here. The scent pyramid is exactly my cup of tea. I love sweet fragrances. And no matter how often I try the other directions, I always end up with sweet. After all, Parfumo made me realize that: Sweet yes, but I don't want to smell like a dessert or chocolate. So now there is actually a category for me: too sweet.
The Fascent homepage is spartan, and I find the pictures of the bottles and cocktail glasses or the bathroom sink rather disconcerting. And you don't find out much about the fragrances themselves. So I bought blind. Together with the refill ampoules to save the postage from France.
Fascent write that they place a lot of emphasis on the quality of the fragrances and not on the design of the bottles. This is true. The bottle is kept simple. Since one of the pictures showed a pool noodle, I thought this funny little hat was made of foam but it is a hard plastic cap. The bottles are refillable and apparently you are supposed to wash them out.
Fascent currently offers 5 fragrances, which are supposed to be combinable.
Milky No Way actually smells like hazelnut at the first spray. It's sweet - marzipan-like for me (tonka bean and cream?) but really not too sweet. This is probably also due to the fact that this fragrance is rather quiet and close to the skin. Apart from the first spray moment, it doesn't have a strong sillage. I don't get the sandalwood yet and I'll have to test how long it lasts. The overall conclusion is positive, but this fragrance probably won't cause a hype. It is nice. And beautiful. A mixture between "Milk Musk (Eau de Toilette) | Molton Brown" and "Milk | Commodity" I would say.

This fragrance is hard to describe. Is it fruity? Yes. But it's also so synthetic that you can hardly call it fruity. I can't smell any fig. If you want to believe it, then it's the peach that makes the fragrance fruity. I can't imagine how solar notes are supposed to smell. The fragrance is also sweet, but it's not the tonka bean that makes it sweet. I can't detect tonka bean either.
It is a unique fragrance in a beautiful bottle (the OVP was rather unkind), which you should not overdose, because the sillage is room-filling. Interestingly, I've even received compliments for this fragrance, whereas those around me have remained silent about other, much-hyped fragrances.
I found the price for this small bottle totally exorbitant at first, but I think you will get something out of it for a long time, as you should really use it sparingly. It's also less of a signature, I couldn't wear it every day. But overall, it's an interesting summer fragrance that not everyone wears.

Synthetic, sweet, milky, creamy and unique - if it weren't for "Intimate Silhouette | Christian Siriano" and "Milk | Commodity". I can only recognize differences between the fragrances in direct comparison. I can't smell individual components. A cozy fragrance for cold days that I really like. If I could choose, I would want Milk in a bottle of Lost In A Dream for the price of Intimate Silhouette. Then it would be perfect.

Blanc Tonka comes with an exciting fragrance pyramid and a rather high price. My expectations were correspondingly high. I was expecting a fragrance that would stand out from the crowd, something new and unique.
What I wanted to smell: dewdrops, papyrus, rice powder. What I got: Vanilla, tonka bean, something floral. A sweet, creamy fragrance that you've smelled a hundred times somewhere before. I also waited a long time to write about a fragrance progression, but it didn't happen. If you could say: "My God, how awful", then the fragrance would at least have a statement and you could still call it a failed experiment. But it doesn't smell bad. And if it were a drugstore fragrance, I might even buy it. But as it is, it leaves me at a loss. And for a long time, because it lasts well.
