Atelierscent

Bought in Barcelona during a holiday, this fragrance catapults me back to Spain every time. When you step outside, you practically run into a sweltering hot wall. As we stroll through the city, a perfumery catches my eye and, as always, my husband has to make a sacrifice. There I find a fragrance that I still love wearing on hot days today.

And there it was - Loewe A mi Aire. If you don't like citrus fragrances, stay away and keep scrolling. For my citrus friends - let's go in!

To be honest, the lemon comes charging loudly at you right away, but the mandarin follows directly behind and takes away some of its sharpness, rounding it off. It's as if the lemon were wrapped in a delicate veil of tea, supported by the clover, while the musk and gentle woods ground it in an unobtrusive way, making it absolutely unisex. In my opinion, though, it doesn't have the typical musk vibe.

It was only afterwards that I read that paprika is also included - I couldn't put a name to a certain spiciness and warmth, but that must be it. I like it.

A fragrance that is by no means linear to me, yet the citrus fruits remain the stars. To be honest, no new fragrance facet emerges after 1-2h. So if you don't love citrus fragrances, you won't be happy with this one.

Sillage is average, and unfortunately so is longevity.

Nevertheless - whenever I spray on A Mi Aire, I always feel fresh, free and cheerful, somewhere in Barcelona.

I was initially skeptical when the lovely saleswoman tried to persuade me to try the fragrance, as the scent pyramid featuring violet and rose seemed to be anything but my style. I had also read some off-putting reviews about it. No thanks, I'm good.

Fortunately, I listened to her and just went for it, and was rewarded with a truly convincing and surprisingly clean scent.

Here, the fragrance and the brand definitely match. Acne Studios: Scandi Clean Girl Aesthetic - wearable, uncomplicated, with a touch of coolness and somehow still special.

The fresh laundry scent develops into a floral and fruity direction after about 20 minutes; thankfully, I can't strongly detect either rose or violet in the foreground.

The perfume didn't let me go, and shortly after, it moved in with me. It's a great everyday scent, whether for the office or leisure.
Sillage and projection could be better, but it averages around 6-8 hours for me, which I find acceptable for a clean scent.

I never thought that my first review would be about a Neroli scent. It usually feels too linear to me, and often not finely balanced enough.
But what can I say - Neroli Celeste truly blew me away, gently lifted me up, and actually took me soaring into Neroli heaven with proper momentum and expressiveness.

Neroli Celeste completely changed my perception of Neroli. Yes, the Neroli is clearly recognizable in the top note. But it doesn't stop there, it's not linear; instead, it reveals its complexity by developing a creamy, almost milky finesse. This is accompanied by a elegantly restrained spiciness from the cardamom - velvety, fine, present, but more as a supportive background (which I am very glad about, as most oriental notes tend to be too heavy for me). Petitgrain is the perfect counterbalance, bringing in clarity and a certain calm freshness, so that the whole composition is not too sweet or gourmand.

This fragrance transports me to a Mediterranean terrace, wearing a flowing silk dress, gold jewelry, and warm, sun-kissed skin.

The sillage is above average at 10-12 hours, the projection lasts long, and the scent is definitely present. You have to keep smelling it; it’s almost addictive.

Anyone looking for a multifaceted, luxuriously appealing, and perfectly balanced Neroli scent with radiance can definitely find it in Neroli Celeste. The creaminess from sandalwood, musk, vanilla, and ambroxan is outstanding and embraces you lovingly yet unobtrusively.

All in all, an incredibly beautiful fragrance with golden and white accents - definitely a new favorite for me!
