A white cashmere dress, soft, nude lipstick and this perfume. As soon as I smelled it, I knew today was going to be a particularly beautiful day. The diamond shape with blue liquid sat enthroned on the glass make-up table. I was maybe about 8 years old when I realized that this perfume would lead our family to a party where I would see my dearest cousins, dance with them or play Sailor Moon, practice songs and fall into bed tired. My mom didn't just look like one to me on those days, she smelled like one too: a goddess. An image of a woman that represented strength, elegance and passion to me. I admired the aura of the fragrance, this synthetic, it shaped my love for blackcurrant. It enveloped my mom like a cloud and myself as soon as she hugged me. The bubbly, positive and laughing mom fascinated me, yes, authenticity. I don't have to play quietly, I don't have to laugh quietly, I don't have to feel quietly. I'm allowed to realize myself as a woman, I'm allowed to be who I want to be and I'm allowed to seek out my partnerships on one level while maintaining a gentleness. Sensuality does not mean being weak and laughing out loud and expressing an opinion does not mean being strong at the same time. I am allowed to be.

When I went to my first party at 15 with a fake student ID (yes, you were allowed to go until 1 a.m.) and was allowed to take a few spritzes of perfume, this protection enveloped me like the invisible robe of Harry Potter. Donned with a ton of hairspray for my curls, a terrible outfit (because I didn't know what to wear to a party) and bronzer all over my cheeks, I went to the party, which felt like half my school was at. I felt uncomfortable, everything was too intimate and unfamiliar, I was glad to finally be able to go home.

When I got home, my mother said: "It's not bad. I didn't enjoy my first dance either" - and as a consolation she gave me her perfume (which even accompanied me through university, perfumes were super expensive!)

In the meantime, I've grown into dancing and know how much bronzer my face can take.

The perfume is pure nostalgia, 90s charm I would say. It's the mother of Alien and co. It will forever be a part of my collection and every now and then, it can be brought back to life.

Do you know the vanilla almond moons? These Christmas cookies sprinkled with powdered sugar? Strangely enough, the scent fits for me but also super to the autumn, perhaps because at this time the anticipation of the Christmas season rises? Out of the lousy "rain-now and here with the sun-I don't know what I want today"-weather and into the colorful lights-mulled wine-cuddle time. The almond in the top note is very concise, but not necessarily pure sweet as in Raffaello, but paired with a creaminess of vanilla. This harmony makes the fragrance completely unisex for me. The sillage is not spacey, yet dense and relatively long tangible (4h max on me). I don't usually like to smell pastry, though, so gourmand. At times it also reminds me of the DNA of "Rolling in Love | Kilian" . For the office I find him very pleasant, for private a little too unexcited.

Small addendum:

The bottle wants to look high quality, but has m.E. too many not thought-out details:
-pasted name
- brown cord to a black bottle

Fruity, light, playful. Makes a good mood and reminiscent of a fruity fructis garnier. In my opinion, perfect as a first perfume for a teen (but I was not a teen when I bought it ). If you like light, superficial, fruity fragrances that don't bother you after half an hour... go for it. For me, there is too little depth.

The fragrance does not unfold with a small spray, only with 4 spray pokes he revealed himself to me completely. At the beginning is a light sweetness paired with a freshness to be heard. Afterwards it joins such a nice rounded creaminess to it, nothing fun. It smells clean, delicate and just hygienic sensuality. After a while I wonder, what does it remind you of so strongly? Ah bal d'afrique by Byredo- contrary to the top note, almost completely the same (win the compositions). My companion was also taken and could the perfume even 4h later still Vernehmen. Arrived home, I have heard the glitter on the neck (shootings stars- refined). The scent is unisex, lighter hang in the feminine department. Now the only question is Byredo or Xerjoff? Ultimately a question of the wallet

Fresh yet sweet- cleanliness paired with a sweetness in the drydown that can't be compared to a fruit or flower. The scent was planned as a limited summer series- fortunately continued due to its success. Karma is my scent for the outdoor pool, at the lake and preferably by the sea! Why only at these places? The durability is unfortunately much too low, but because of the price it is not too bad to spray the hair and the body full with it. Oh and as a pillow spray or generally as a room scent this is also super suitable. If you like Karma, you probably have quite a bit from the series
