The Screensaver for Reality
Basically, lavender always works for me - in the evening for relaxation, during the day to stay calm, in stress, on vacation, summer, winter... just always. I also love it combined with vanilla or wood or resin or... it doesn't matter, lavender works. And then there are those days, days when only lavender will do, and that's when Lavande de Haute-Provence is just right:

Simply a calm, fresh, delicate violet lavender... a hint of citrus, more of an idea than anything else, freshens up the beginning. However, I perceive it more as background ambiance. The same goes for the delicate, dry wood base. That too is not really prominent. A scent to close your eyes, breathe deeply, and recharge for a moment.

The longevity isn't great (about 2 hours) and the sillage is very close to the skin... but that's why Lavande de Haute-Provence also comes in a 300ml splash bottle. Perfect for reapplying generously from time to time.

What was the perfumer thinking here??
I don't know. I just can't find any access to this scent... There are certainly concepts with scents as perfumes that work... Demeter likes to play with that or also CB I Hate Perfume. Some are wearable, others at least authentic. Do we need this? No idea, that's something everyone has to decide for themselves. Do I need this? In the majority of cases - no.
28 belongs to the majority...

Seriously, this is an excursion into experimental chemistry, isn't it?

I smell sour milk, a chemically-aquatic note, a bit of salt (but I don't get an association with seawater), something artificially fruity-sweet, and then it also smells burning. Is that supposed to be the gunpowder?

Iris? Leather? Frankincense? Not a chance!

However, 28 lasts well (despite scrubbing for 5 hours on the wrist) and I can't get it off my nose... Fortunately, the sillage is in the moderate range, so at least my surroundings are mostly spared.

Another Toast, Another Egg...
...; another coffee, another porridge, a bit of jam, a bit of confiture *singing with fervor*

Basically, there isn’t much to say about the scent: Everyone knows it!

Anyone who pulls their maybe slightly too dark wheat toast from the toaster in the morning and spreads butter on the still warm slice knows the scent.
Eau de Toast is toasted buttered toast to spray on - nothing more, nothing less.

On me, it lasts about 4 hours - basically from breakfast to lunch, the perfect time frame ;-) The sillage is moderate, a small aura but not overwhelming and so authentic that my husband asked me if I was hungry again *chuckles*

Now I just need to find the right jam scent to layer...

Sidolin, the scent of cleanliness...for windows!
To complete my trio of household scents in perfume form - here’s the good old Sidolin :-)

The scent is probably known to everyone: alcoholic, piercing, citrusy, and after use, the windows shine crystal clear and streak-free again. Fortunately, the smell, pardon: the scent, dissipates quickly, leaving only cleanliness and, in the best case, a great view.

In the case of Clean Windows, the satanarchaeolügenialkohöllischen spook also ends after just about an hour, and the skin simply smells fresh, clean, and a little synthetic-floral.
The sillage is quite intense at first (that is, the first 2 minutes) but fades almost immediately.

I like clean windows, but I’d rather not smell like one ;-)

Polyboy
I am basically not a fan of honey or beeswax scents; they are usually just too intense for me, almost oppressively heavy. However, I use Polyboy for my wooden furniture - a beeswax-based furniture polish in a small plastic bottle. Beeswax smells almost the same:
Like beeswax, a bit sharp, and there's a hint of plastic as well. Since I don't find the smell of freshly polished furniture too unpleasant, Beeswax is not off-putting for me. But whether I want to smell like freshly polished furniture, I do doubt a bit :-)

Longevity and sillage are average - 3 hours noticeable but without a scent trail. For Demeter fragrances, that's quite a good result.
