I just had to get it again - and I will probably use it rarely.

This scent is a scent of memories. Not one that I wear for its good quality or because I love the fragrance so much, but one that accompanied me for a while and reminds me of times gone by.

Admittedly, the scent is really not a masterpiece. It comes off rather synthetic. It starts with a mix of eucalyptus, children's cough drop, cherry, leather, and a few jasmine flowers. It gets better the longer it is on the skin, becoming creamier. But it's not really good.

However, I used up two bottles of this scent back then.
I was in my mid-20s and fully into the makeup game. Therefore, I regularly visited the local MAC store, which no longer exists here today, and was advised by a lovely saleswoman whom I found super pretty. She was always beautifully made up and wore her ultra-long blonde hair tied back in a ponytail.

One day she said: "You are a Lady Danger!" and presented me with the corresponding fragrance. Of course, I wanted to identify myself immediately with this scent and especially with this name - "Lady Danger - yeah that's meee" and bought the fragrance.

In hindsight, she probably just wanted to sell me a fragrance, and I desperately wanted to be a naughty Lady Danger, lol.
To this day, I don't know if I ever really liked the scent or just what I wanted the scent to represent, an image I wanted my surroundings to have of me. Somehow wild and dangerous (which I really am not at all haha, but I would have liked to be)

In any case, I associate a lot of personal memories with this scent.

At some point, I got tired of it, and above all, I no longer clung to this statement "Lady Danger," and the scent fell into oblivion and was discontinued in the meantime.

Recently, however, I had to think of it again and didn't even remember what the scent smelled like, which I found unfortunate, so I hunted down the fragrance and managed to get an unused bottle. I was really curious and unfortunately had to realize that I had gotten used to other scents in the meantime.

My taste in fragrances is now accustomed to better quality. BUT interestingly, I have a favorite scent today that goes in exactly the same direction, just with a muuuuch better fragrance quality.

The Cherry Punk Eau de Parfum is the more mature, rounder, and higher-quality version of Lady Danger and could just as well bear that name.

Apparently, I haven't quite said goodbye to it yet.

I had heard about Yara for quite some time.
Since I have been reducing my social media consumption for a while now (I don't use TikTok at all), I initially didn't fall for the hype surrounding this fragrance.

A good friend of mine bought the scent and has now stored it in her car as a fragrance for on-the-go (let's not debate this form of perfume storage here).

When I was sitting in her car, I took the opportunity to sniff the bottle and was immediately taken with it. So I sprayed it on and my nose was glued to my wrist the whole time. I was totally enchanted by this powdery-sweet creation.

I really liked the scent a lot. The gourmand notes, the tropical fruits. A bit too kitschy-young, but totally my style.

I then quickly acquired it for myself, but unfortunately fell out of love just as quickly. There’s something about the fragrance that bothers me. Something that bothers me about most Lataffa scents. A kind of piercing synthetic note that, although only temporary, unfortunately ruins the fragrance for me. Something that reminds me of packaging from abroad and plastic - a beige scent that doesn’t belong.

Hard to describe, anyway the fragrance has now moved on and hopefully will be loved longer there.

I just purchased the beautiful "Pansy (Solid Perfume) | Lush / Cosmetics To Go" at the Lush store.

The scent is truly very special, and I perceive all of the listed fragrance notes, which creates a really lovely, unique combination for me. I find the DNA of Lush fragrances unmistakable. Very ethereal, very intense. Anyone who has been in a Lush store knows what I mean.

Blindfold me and send me through the city center, and I can find the store just by its smell.

Unfortunately, I stop perceiving Pansy very quickly; I think I just become fragrance-blind to it, as I wouldn't describe the longevity as poor.

Now I come to the cat litter. No, it definitely does NOT smell like ammonia or anything pee-like.

But I have a scented cat litter that I unfortunately associate quite strongly with this scent. When I sniff the fragrance on my wrist and concentrate, I can decouple this association and perceive the individual components of the scent again without bias; unfortunately, I can't completely eliminate this scent association, so I occasionally have to think about cat litter.

But I think this should be quite an individual problem, and I hope I'm the only one who feels this way.

I hope I haven't put anyone off this beautiful scent, but I wanted to share my fragrance experience here.

I spent a few days in Cologne and of course visited the 4711 store, where I sprayed just about every fragrance once.

In doing so, I made the quintessential beginner's mistake. I had several scents in my nose, then tested the "Yuzu & Cedarwood | 4711," liked it immediately, and bought it.

Actually, I should have applied it and left the store to get a realistic impression of the scent, but my impulsive buying brain had other plans.
So I switched off my mind and bought it right away.

At least it wasn't a huge financial loss, but I still get annoyed about such impulse buys. So here's your reminder: don't buy too spontaneously and take fragrances for at least one walk outside the perfumery before you purchase them.

Now about the scent:

In the store, I found the scent really nice, zesty, and refreshing.
In the hotel, I then first noticed the intense synthetic note. Unfortunately, it is not refreshing at all, but smells as if a citrus fruit has fermented in the sun on a wooden board.

I tried for a few days to convince myself that it was nice, but unfortunately, it really isn't a pleasant scent.

The basic idea of the fragrance is not bad at all, but the execution unfortunately is.

I received Khamrah as a gift and right off the bat: unfortunately, I am not a fan at all.

I have a total problem with Akigalawood.

To me, it is a kind of spicy woodiness that reminds me of rotten/moldy wood, but in a very synthetic way. This was particularly bad with "Guidance | Amouage," which I really could not stand at all.

The fragrance starts off very beautifully gourmand and smells like baked apple with cinnamon. I was really happy that I couldn't smell any Akigalawood at all. But after a few minutes, that note did creep into my nose, initially just subtly, but over time it became more intense.

Directly on the skin, it remains very gourmand for a long time, but the sillage, for me, quickly consists solely of Akigalawood.

By the way, I own "Angels' Share | Kilian" and I really cannot understand why many people smell a similarity. To me, Angels' Share smells intensely of hazelnut, woods, and cognac, and the sillage is also dominated by these notes.

The only common denominator for me is the cinnamon and the classification as winter fragrances.

Angels' Share also smells very linear to me, while Khamrah has a changing scent progression.

For me, these are two completely independent fragrances.

However, I find the bottle to be super high-quality! You really get something for your money, and if you like the scent character, you truly get a very qualitative fragrance. Therefore, the price-performance ratio is top.
