A Fragrance for Budapest
The Scent of Departure fragrances can only be found in airport perfumeries.
This one is dedicated to Budapest.
It starts fresh and spicy. I immediately recognize the dominant paprika note, very intense and straightforward. The freshness of this perfume fades quickly, leaving behind an almost pure paprika note. Unfortunately, this dilutes over time, and the scent takes on a metallic, cold undertone that I absolutely dislike. Overall, it now feels very synthetic to me; the paprika note disappears more and more, and what remains is the scent of metal, reminding me of a new, just-opened toolbox.
No, such a fragrance does not do justice to Budapest in my eyes; it is much more than paprika with a metallic undertone.
Perhaps it smells better on men's skin; I couldn't tolerate it for long and had to wash it off quickly.

A Fragrance for Autumn
This fragrance is meant to symbolize the "brown" of autumn: chestnuts, golden-brown leaves and fields, roasted chestnuts, etc.
It is a creamy and soft scent, a true cuddle fragrance designed for cold and stormy days of the year.
Right from the application, I smell spices, warm and fresh at the same time. The scent of magnolia is also clearly recognizable, giving the fragrance a floral note.
However, as it develops, it becomes much fresher than at the beginning; the spicy notes gradually fade away and a powdery note comes in.
Now, in my eyes, it is more of a fresh floral scent with a powdery base than a warm, soft autumn cuddle fragrance. I can also detect lily of the valley and a bit of freshness from mandarins. The perfume oil is very harmonious and balanced, with no sharp or disturbing notes to be found here.
The scent is very pleasant in itself, but for me, it is no longer a cuddle fragrance; it lacks creaminess and warmth.
What has emerged is a magnolia/mandarin scent on a powdery note.

I'm the Green Fairy
This perfume oil is really very "green," but not necessarily light; rather, it is rich, full-bodied, smooth, and captivating.
It starts off with a full blast of anise and licorice, sweet but not too sweet. Also recognizable from the very beginning are the fresh and simultaneously cool herbal notes in the background, which take away some of the sweetness, making the scent come across as more balanced.
Later, a gentle, slightly fluffy note joins in.
A fragrance that is sweet and fresh at the same time; on my skin, the fresh notes prevail with a hint of anise. Whether absinthe smells like this, I cannot judge, as I have no experience with the drink, but it does remind me of a liqueur, specifically "Sambuca," albeit without the coffee beans and served with fresh herbs.
Highly recommended for absinthe and licorice scent fans.

"Teint de Neige" - Light
This fragrance includes:
Powder: in its purest form, dry, almost dusty
Rose: a bit of rose water to make it lighter and more buoyant
Musk: gives a slight soapy undertone
Vanilla: a hint, for sweetness
Mix it all together and you get a dry rose powder scent with a touch of vanilla and a clean fragrance character.
A rounded, soft scent where the powder note does not come across as sharp and overpowering as in many other powder fragrances.
This scent strongly reminds me of "Teint de Neige by Lorenzo Villoresi," but the rose note and the slight vanilla note make it a bit softer, not quite as intense and more suitable for everyday wear.
Powder fans should definitely try this fragrance.
A truly authentic powder scent with nice undertones (vanilla and rose).

nothing of significance
This Voluspa fragrance is very thin. I can hardly smell anything on my skin and have to get very close with my nose to the sprayed area to perceive anything.
What I can recognize, however, does not particularly excite me. At first, it smells fresh like oranges and then over time like sugar, honey, and a bit of vanilla. This last note lingers a bit longer than the extremely fleeting top note of citrus.
However, everything feels very diluted, and the sweet notes come across as very synthetic. After 5 minutes, it becomes a synthetic, cloyingly sweet mush that I quickly want to wash off.
Not necessarily a fragrance I can recommend.
Perhaps it is better suited as a room scent.
