Woodruff Jelly with Vanilla Sauce
Upon the first sniff, I immediately thought of a delicious and sweet dessert from my childhood, with which you could always do such fun things while eating - woodruff jelly with lots of vanilla sauce!

As Angelliese has already mentioned, there is a brief, but only very short, alcoholic note that greets you at first. After that, the scent that reminds me so much of the pudding immediately unfolds. I can only explain it to myself by the fact that the heart note and base note connect:
The freesia brings a peppery freshness into play that tickles the nose, while the violets provide a floral sweetness that also crystallizes as mildly mossy. I also perceive something woody - and I have read that the flower of violets contains this floral-woody aspect, in contrast to the leaves, which tend to bring the other components.

In the top and base notes, the thick warm vanilla sauce envelops the entire scent and makes it beautifully sweet. The fragrance doesn’t really develop much further; it just becomes more subtle, and the sillage pulls back a little. The longevity could be a bit better - but at this price (from 20 euros/100ml), I find it absolutely sufficient.

If you like sweet vanilla and woodruff, you are exactly right here!! :D

Just came across it...
A perfume named "Wild Cat," whose bottle also features a leopard print, usually wouldn't catch my attention. However, through the Parfumo swap game, it eventually came to me, as I found the scent notes very appealing. The bottle is not only visually not my style, but it also has a loose cap and the spray nozzle is a bit messy. However, that shouldn't distract from the existing quality.
The scent is truly impressive! The top note with grapefruit and tangerine (a cross between mandarin and pomelo) starts off citrusy-sweet and quickly merges with the praline. At first, I thought of Coutures Viva la Juicy, but the perfume develops quite rapidly in a different direction. I must note that you can actually smell the individual notes throughout the scent progression, which makes it even more interesting.
In the heart note, you can smell the almond milk and especially jasmine - floral-sweet and sensual. The heart note lingers for quite a while, sometimes a hint of sandalwood flashes through.
In the base, it becomes a bit soapy, which I don't particularly like, but maybe that's also due to the current temperatures - perhaps a test in winter would be advisable as well.

The scent lasts really long, even if it becomes very close to the skin towards the end. It's definitely worth trying, and for little money, you get a wonderful fragrance experience. While it's always a matter of taste, those who enjoy oriental, gourmand, floral, and sweet scents will surely find a great catch here.

Fresh Breeze
A scent like this hasn't come my way in a long time. Thanks to a Parfumo, Sun Bath was able to be tested for a while. At first, I thought of the smell of a blue scented candle - maritime, ocean, fresh (sea) breeze... - I can't remember the name. The fragrance smells clean, like freshly washed and cooling.
The top note is aquatic, with a hint of watermelon and a bit of pink pepper, which I actually perceive lightly all the time. I find the top note less floral; that comes more in the heart note, where some jasmine and rose seem to make an appearance. The fresh aquatic note remains. In the base note, I also perceive sandalwood, while vanilla and tonka bean are less noticeable - although the tonka bean might contribute some sweetness in the background. I also notice the slightly bitter note that has been mentioned before. Apparently, Sun Bath is also available pour homme - but I think this version would suit men very well too!!
The longevity on my skin is very good and lasts throughout the day. For me, the scent fits well in spring/summer, for leisure/vacation and work. I would choose a different one for going out. The price-performance ratio is absolutely great in my opinion. Maybe (my) birthday gift?

A Morning in the Garden...
"blooming cherry tree"

A few weeks ago, I wore the perfume for the first time at work and by the end of the day, I wasn't quite sure if I liked it. That's why Cerisier en Fleurs went to the bench for a while - until today. Something urged me to test it again!
The opening of the perfume strongly reminds me of freshly mowed grass, sweet and green, a picture from my childhood flashes in my mind as I watch my father mowing the lawn.
A few minutes later, the cherry blossom comes in. Very gentle, but well noticeable, forming the heart of the perfume. Finally, a brief look at the base note: musk - I hardly perceive it, Indonesian patchouli on the other hand is a bit more prominent and blends wonderfully into the fresh scent of the grass under the blooming cherry tree.
The fragrance awakens spring and brings relaxation and tranquility.
The sillage is low and unfortunately, the longevity is too. It might be wise to have a travel spray on hand to reapply occasionally.

What is Osmanthus, actually?
I was looking for a light summer perfume when I came across Naturelle Osmanthus. I wanted something fresh, citrusy, and it shouldn't cost too much. When I was in the Yves Rocher store, I found the simple "Naturelle" and I liked it, but unfortunately, it only lasted for about 2 hours and something was missing. Then I stumbled upon this perfume. Osmanthus?

Osmanthus = fragrant flowers, fragrant flowers from the olive family.
Evergreen and native to Asia. Its sweet flowers are used as a spice, added to scented wine, and mixed with green tea.

That sounds like a sample! When I think of sweet flowers, I always think of that slightly biting smell when you stick your nose too far into the pollen, like with lilacs, for example. But the floral sweetness of the Osmanthus flower is very natural, pleasant, and unobtrusive. It is special and evokes wanderlust. Paired with the lemon, which comes across as very fresh, Arabian jasmine, and cedar, this perfume has achieved a wonderful balance.
It is affordable and lasts longer than the previous "Naturelle." I can still catch a whiff of it in the evening now and then. On my clothes, it lasts until the next day. The perfume stays close to the body, which is certainly an advantage in summer.

Anyone who hasn't found a summer perfume yet should treat themselves to a sample here!
