Honestly, this Cologne water can do better. I have rarely smelled something so unremarkable. I love citrus scents and also like Ligbt blue, but this one is truly subpar. It's as if someone added a good splash of water to an Eau de Toilette and bottled it. Mineral water with a slice of lemon on a wooden stick as decoration, that's all it is. The sillage is just as weak. You really have to get your nose right on it to catch a whiff. What a waste of money.

I have already tested several of the small Unic fragrances and have come across some lovely ones. The Thé noir doesn't quite fit my usual preferences and was far too dominant for me in the summer. As the days transitioned into autumn, I tested it again and now quite like it. It is quite intense and two sprays are completely sufficient. It has a very spicy scent, and cardamom spontaneously comes to mind, with a hint of cinnamon mixed in as well. The black tea is steeped for a long time but is not bitter, and the spices have released their warm scent. There isn't a strong change, over time it simply becomes a bit milder. The longevity is good; I can still smell it in the evening.

Today I stumbled upon Pampelmousse Rose while passing by. At home, it became clear to me that I will buy all these bottles when I go out again. A very fresh, delicious scent of grapefruit is the first thing you notice. I spontaneously thought that this could also be something from Hermes. Not completely unlike Un Jardin sur le Nil, but a relative. It doesn't last forever, but that's usually the case with citrus scents. After a good two hours, it still smells nice. Very close to the skin, but I like that. Clear recommendation for hot days.

I have been reading here for a long time and just wanted to briefly chime in about Shakira's fragrance. I used to enjoy wearing Roma. Many years have passed, and now I find myself returning to old habits. For this reason, I had to test a spritz of Roma. HM, very nice, but still a bit different than before. Spontaneously, I thought of Elixir by Shakira, which is at home. It is certainly not the same, but I can imagine that it would be worth a try for Roma lovers to experience Elixir once.
