Byronia

Only one small sample was enclosed with my order. It was Scherrer's Nuits Indiennes. A women's perfume. Probably another one of those pink/yellow one-size-fits-all fragrances, I guessed. From Scherrer I love only Scherrer (a Chyrpefan greets)...
But when I sprayed the scent I was transported to another world. And no, it was less oriental than exactly in my reality.

It's not a good day, you got up on the wrong side of the bed, maybe too little sleep, your project isn't going as it should - in short, it's the opposite of a perfect day.

Until this scent envelops you...I close my eyes and images of a perfect world emerge. Floral yes, but not too sweet. Like a wonderful garden of rare and unknown plants and creatures. A gentle veil of inimitable elegance weaves through the room. It gives things a positive attitude AND good thoughts - what seemed heavy earlier now comes across as light on its feet. The jasmine that I can usually be chased with now seems familiar and wonderful in its intensity. Should I have misjudged it, or is it just the successful interplay of all the indigrizas into a secret formula that seeks world domination?

I don't know, but that day I discovered Scherrer's Nuits Indiennes for myself became a perfect day.

Years ago I bought this fragrance, simply because I liked the color so much, this mossy deep green in the simple, but still noble glass bottle. In the first days I wore it around the clock, I didn't like to part with it. It was as if this scent took me into a deep cave with the earth spirits, where I didn't want to come out. This scent was magical, no, more like mystical.

My environment pointed out to me that this fragrance was more for guys in lumberjack shirts.
And so I let myself breitschlagen and gave this exactly to such.

I purchased the 2017 and liked this one exceptionally well. It had the foreboding of the 2012, but seemed lighter and more womanly.

However, after a while it started to rumble inside me.
After a year, I ordered with the first bottling. Another year later the next. Then it happened that I no longer liked the 2017er so. It was overnight. And still I regretted giving away the original scent.

This scent that was such a treasure to me. when I smell it, it's like I don't need anything else in this world. Then everything is enough for me...

This scent is definitely an herbaceous one (hello ICON), I count the lavender in there too, citrusy it is in the opening, but soon the myrrh and patchouli come in. It's a successful blend of saga, fairy tale and myth. Not of this world. And not for lumberjacks. Because actually so smell elves, fairies and dragon kings.

Thanks to Parfumo, I have now been able to get hold of a bottle. The journey continues...

First of all: it is not a fragrance for women, but in my opinion a unisex fragrance. A fragrance between past and present. Familiar and yet wonderfully new. In the daytime, the prelude with tangerine and lavender is very pleasing. It reminds me a little of ZINO Davidoff and a little further on of Beau de Jour. That's what lavender does, but I don't necessarily think it has masculine qualities. I love it and I think that's the way many women feel. As I now read, this type of lavender is called DIVA, wonderful. Divas are available for women and men... :-)

As it progresses, it appears straight, I feel good and strong when I smell it. A certain elegance can be felt. For me, freedom is always accompanied by rebellion, which I miss. But what does it matter if the scent pleases I like the composition and it is one of the few women's scents I wear.

It's one of those days when I lose myself with myself, that's what I call it when I take care of things that I have had for a long time but which have fallen out of my mind. Today I thought I would take a look at my perfume collection "back department". And my gaze fell on Nilang without a cap, which I once got from a dear friend because she didn't want it anymore. In my head I had in mind that it smells "older" somehow, a young scent crack I know of would probably call it "omalich".
So I thought, just put it in the souk and wait and see, maybe someone would like it.
And reflexively I sprayed the scent onto my skin...and a murmur went through my senses. rather a small explosion...
Those who succinctly describe this as fruity/floral, usually take care of shower gels - and YES, is floral and YES, also a little fruity. But rather paradisiacal. This is how I imagine a park in India, at the Taj Mahal, beguilingly beautiful scent...
And the bergamot I smell only very weakly, freesia stwas a bit more, but in my head pictures of fantasy flowers from the Garden of Eden come to mind combined with slowly coming powdery sweetness that you can stand (you have to know, I have almost only unisex or men's fragrances).
Dr. Google also leads me abruptly into reality: of course, the fragrance has been reformulated...

But I now treasure my old sweetheart and enjoy the rarity...

Well, with Creed, it's easy.
The way the combination of citric reception combined with a hint of wood and sweetness, and despite the implied depth, always succeeds in staying in airy heights, almost pulls me to storms of enthusiasm. SO I would have wished for the Tauer L'Air de Alpes Suisses...which unfortunately disappointed me a little personally. But that's a matter of taste, as fragrances are
With me the scent lasts and lasts and lasts, whereby the Sillage diminishes after a short time. But I don't mind that. Because this scent is mine

#For a statement too long and for a comment too short, but it's all said (by me). ;-)
