When I didn't have the fragrance yet, I heard that it was suitable for layering.
I'm not a fan of layering; I don't like to create anything else, because for us, everything is already perfectly crafted.
Then, during a visit to a perfume store, the lovely saleswoman drew my attention to this fragrance, emphasizing layering as well. I received a sample, but it took me a couple of months to understand the scent, especially when you don't just own one fragrance.
Finally, the day came when I wanted to test the fragrance spontaneously. I found it interesting: quiet and loud at the same time. My jacket smelled of the fragrance for two weeks afterward.
It's hard to describe what it smells like: woody, dry, spicy.
When talking about synthetic as an ingredient of the fragrance, it tends to be viewed negatively. But when you read that Genetic Bliss is a unique composition of five pure molecules, the fragrance is not seen as critically.
To me, molecule, synthetic... isn't that important.
The only thing that matters: the power of the fragrance. I naturally tried to layer it, multiple times with different scents.
And Genetic Bliss always comes to the forefront. I can smell it out from other fragrances; it dominates very strongly.
That's why, for me personally, it is an independent fragrance that is not ONLY suitable for layering.

I was at my favorite perfume store Gradmann in Constance today.
I love sniffing fragrances there, chatting with the staff, and learning about the latest news in the perfume world.
Today, I wanted to smell something new, something I haven't encountered yet.
Suddenly, I see an interesting name: "Limitless Shopping..." - it was like a magnet for me.
I love shopping, and limitless is of course a dream.
If I were to win the lottery, I would shop until I drop at the Galerie Lafayette in Paris.
Now to the scent: a zesty breeze of honey, sweet fruits, and flowers emerged. Very pleasant and cheerful. I also smell vanilla, even though the note is not present in the fragrance pyramid.
After a while, jasmine becomes a bit louder, but not intrusive.
I want to inhale more and more of the scent, making it addictive.
I can actually imagine the scent while shopping. It is a feel-good fragrance, more suitable for daytime in spring or summer.
The fragrance develops very well on the skin. Amber and tonka bean become prominent.
Summary: a very nice combination and a very delicious gourmand scent.
It quickly lands on my wish list. I probably won't be able to wait until spring and will get it in late autumn.

Via della Spiga - is one of the streets in the center of Milan that belongs to the "Fashion Quadrangle." A good marketing strategy that fits quite well with the name of the fragrance.

Now my vacation in Italy is over.
Italy never ceases to amaze me with its history, architecture, fashion, and of course, with many perfume houses.
This year, I was really looking forward to the trip to Italy because a visit to a perfumery was definitely on my agenda.
In a small holiday town on the Adriatic coast, I discovered a perfumery that was somewhat old-fashioned and conservative; time seemed to have stood still there, and one could take a "journey into the past." But that was exactly what fascinated and attracted me. It was surprising that such a small perfumery had a really large selection of Nobile 1942 fragrances, including Nobile 26.
I didn't fall in love with the scent immediately. The first time, I bought another fragrance and received Nobile 26 as a sample.
The next morning, I sprayed the fragrance: it starts off quite masculine, even sharp with bergamot and mandarin (I didn't perceive any licorice). At first, I thought: oh dear, what kind of men's fragrance is this?
Then I got a bit distracted, and after a while, I smelled a soft wave of vanilla, woody and citrus notes. I keep noticing the scent again and again. It calms me and creates a good mood. I feel like I'm in a gentle aura that I never want to leave.
I must say, I first tested the fragrance at the beach and only thought: what will it be like in Germany, in a different climate?
But the scent did not disappoint me. In Germany, I noticed exactly the same development, and beautiful memories come flooding back!
Salute and Ciao!

I can't claim to be a big fan of JHG fragrances. I only own Lady Vengeance and find it really beautiful, especially for chypre lovers.
But I certainly can't ignore a new fragrance and had a sample sent to me from France.
And now is the moment: excited, eyes closed, and trying to imagine (without knowing the fragrance pyramid by heart) what it smells like?
The scent is delicate, soft, and sensual. Immediately, I pictured myself in a flower garden. The flowers are very ripe but not overpowering.
Then, of course, I had to check the notes.
I couldn't detect the bubblegum note, but jasmine is very present. The fragrance opens up relatively quickly, and the top note fades extraordinarily. After that, I smell a very subtle amber.
That's it for this dream. The scent sits very close to the skin and is very intimate.
Anyone who likes soft, unobtrusive fragrances will probably appreciate this scent.
For me personally, it's not a bottle candidate, but nonetheless, this fragrance is a lovely Lili dream.
