Right now it's 0:18 in August, we're sitting on the balcony watching stars and shooting stars and while I sniff my latest conquest.

Just under 2 weeks ago we were in Barcelona spontaneously and briefly, visiting family - quite crowded - quite exhausting - but also emotional and all round wonderful.
Shortly before the flight home, in the duty free, I went through the aisles and scents as usual routine, stopped briefly and without expectations at JM and had it in the nose - Mimosa & Cardamon. Oh wow.

I bought, spontaneously and immediately. My husband was grad somewhere else, he was not asked this time for his opinion - I was uncompromisingly enchanted.

Even after almost 2 weeks lasts I still love the fragrance: this spontaneous freshness when spraying on and the gentle spiciness, the subsequent powderiness, the beautiful mood that this fragrance gives me - perhaps a little like the special holiday, a mixture of relaxation and exciting curiosity.

And yesaaaaaa - I actually wear firecrackers like Tom Fords Noir or Tobacco Vanille, gladly also sometimes Guerlain...

But this Cardamon dream, which later develops such a wonderfully warm blend of tonka bean and sandalwood - becomes powdery.... I am in love and completely enchanted by this cardamon - tonka - dream ?

My Wehmutztropfen is only that I have to renew it 3 times a day, because the shelf life is truly modest. At this price in the long run a costly pleasure ? but still I am willing to bear this consequence.
Even in winter, under completely different circumstances, I can imagine him as a wonderful companion for cozy evenings by the fireplace with a nice book.

My husband finds him (compared to my other fragrances) as quite tart and rather spicy, but he is just also what completely different from me used to ?

I'm not doing too well right now. Parting You know the...
My stomach and also my nerves are scratched, even my favourite fragrances do not reach me properly at the moment. Are not the accustomed balm of my soul.

Yesterday then the way to the perfumery... just a look, maybe there is a substance with a healing effect after all. I don't know.

So I walked the corridors, bored and frustrated. Nothing smelled good, a uniform mush, cheap, mainstream - horrible....

Then I stood in front of the display, the shop in the shop...
uh, Jo Malone, I don't like. The smell I have is tasty at first but doesn't last... Expensive, but short pleasure, motz, motz, motz.
But as it simply is, however, times briefly about it sniffed, jo... quite nice does not tear me from the stool, quite nice, yes yes... and THEN - wummmmmmmms. WAAAAAAA IS THAT??????

At the beginning there is the soothing lavender that surrounds me, flatters me and lies around me in a fine mist. A little later the mysterious myrrh, which invites you to play and gives you more friendly thoughts. The Tonka powdery, sweet and warm complements the composition together with the vanilla perfectly. I drive home, exhilarated and sniffing at the back of my hand...

More than eight hours later, brushing your teeth... what's that smell? Whoo-hoo, is that you? Still? So determined and self-confident, despite toothpaste to perceive well? Wow.
It's now 14 hours. I'm sitting in the office. I washed my hands 5 times, and when I sniff the back of my hand, I still hear warm powdery vanilla that makes me smile and radiates warmth

A new love, is like a new life.... he will be my new one, this Jo! Right after work today I will pick him up and free him from the much too small box. Together we are free

My scent. Identification.
He's moving in big, a little dirty, like flower water or something.
But it gets silky, very dotted and jasmine pure and clear.
At the same time he is wicked and mysterious.

To illustrate it. With this fragrance I have always felt (privately) dark red fingernails and a small black with high heels on or (professionally) a designer costume with matching assessors on. I ALWAYS like to wear this diaphragm on me. He doesn't even get on my nerves in yoga.

There is nothing more beautiful than going to bed at night and smelling the remains of the last evening still on the pillow or putting on your scarf, coat or whatever in the morning and inhaling this scent gaaaaaaa deep before you spray it on again. To me, very personally, he gives courage, strength, relaxation and identity. Since I (Duft-Messi - 25+) Jasmin Rouge home, I need actually no more other smells! I don't even use my beloved classics anymore. I feel Jasmine Rouge - Thanks Tom!

Velvet Amber Sun I have im
from my husband for Christmas last winter. Actually we wanted to buy the Tobacco Vanilla from Tom Ford, but that evening Velvet Amber Sun won.
It was a hard race, but if I spray it on and it makes a symbiosis with my skin, then there is security. It is like a good red wine, sensual, deep, pure pleasure and loving. When I spray this fragrance on, I feel embedded, calm and satisfied even on bad days.
Actually, I'm very wasteful with my perfumes, but I keep them like a sacred treasure. In my use it is not a fragrance for every day but special, for beautiful evenings, cosy and sensual.
The amber is very dominant at the beginning but adapts wonderfully after a short time, is cuddly, never intrusive, but deep and impressive a long lasting pleasure of the senses.
Jesses - what a sob, but so it is well, opulent and gooey

So I just read the comments here and was briefly irritated... all wrote of apricots. Oops. For me, grapefruit is from front to back. Hot beloved and cooling grapefruit, which then... will eventually be replaced by oriental notes.

In my association, in my feeling, the scent is a little Paris. A little art. A little freedom.

I love this fragrance very much despite its intensity in summer. Or because of its intensity. I'll have to think about that again. Fact is, this is my all time favourite for hot summer days and nights.

Only the bottle, I don't like it at all. I already hated him at Gardenia. It's hugely heavy, impractical to take with you, a block on your leg. I solved this for myself by buying the refill bottle and a small sweet bottle to go with it. So now I can enjoy my fragrance on the road and on summer trips. The perfect solution for me.
