A perfume bottle in the shape of a lipstick. In the gift set, it even comes with a lipstick bag. Do I really need to say more? Hello? Perfume in LIPSTICK FORM. With LIPSTICK BAG. You can't get more than that. Like bread and butter. Like...

The exact words of my friend during the spray premiere. And this despite the fact that we live about 80 kilometers away from Cologne. But you really can't put it any better. Right after spraying, you expect any moment the bomb disposal...

One secretly hopes for a miracle. Once again a blockbuster, one that goes through the roof. Yeah, okay, that's illusory. Then something solid, well-crafted with flair. Not that either? Oh dear... well, surely...

So far, I have been able to find something to appreciate in all Jaguar fragrances. That doesn't mean that each one has suited my taste, but I found them all at least craft-wise solid and could understand the idea behind the scents....

...this works with Glow at least feels very good. Who thinks when reaching for a product in the drugstore that they will suddenly hold such a clean powerhouse fragrance in their hands? Usually, such star scents are hardly surpassed...

at least in my humble opinion. A brilliant blend of tea, herbs, leather, and musk. If you find old-school sledgehammers like VC&A Pour Homme a bit too much but are generally not averse to leathery and tea-heavy scents, you should definitely...

...and without popcorn. That's about how "exciting" the encounter with Yves Saint Laurent's "Parfum" Y is. One expects excitement, emotions, complexity, an intriguing progression, and the like from a fragrance. Y doesn't even meet...

Unfortunately, I (once again) lack the comparison options to the original version. I find this particularly unfortunate here, because on one hand, I definitely think that the current version is a truly exceptional...

That sometimes less is more is exemplified very well by Light Blue. This fragrance, which is predestined for summer, is characterized not by an endlessly overloaded scent pyramid, but by a clear and well-structured scent profile....

The similarity to Kouros is undeniable. The same animalistic-soapy base theme. The execution, however, is extremely different. Playful, extroverted, and almost shrill, Lapidus comes with its nearly overloaded fruit and honey richness. Moving to the Club...

I don't know the standard version of Horizon, so I can't make any comparisons. The Extreme version starts fruity-citrusy with sour-sharp notes, which are likely due to the ginger. Soon, woody notes of cedar,...
