All-purpose weapon!
The question of what outfit to wear today often arises in front of the closet. Your gaze wanders over shirts, shirts and pants and suddenly catches sight of a small, rectangular bottle. The "the one" lettering immediately catches your eye. It is now absolutely clear that you are going to mist yourself with it today. And from now on, it doesn't matter what you wear. Suit, summer outfit, sweater and jeans, casual chic. It doesn't matter because this all-purpose weapon goes with everything. The outfit is put on and the fragrance is generously applied. Booom! James Bond is on the rise and ready to conquer the occasion. Always quick-witted, always modest and absolutely catchy, you master all chicanery. You simply feel at home. Period!

Description:
The fragrance starts with a light, sparkling note. The opening is accompanied by a light spiciness. The fragrance then drifts in a sweet direction. The transition is perfect here. An elegant woody note, supported by cardamom, makes the fragrance mysterious and enigmatic. From here on, the fragrance does not change much. Although the fragrance is categorized here as sweet/spicy, it is still much lighter than other candidates from this spectrum. This makes it a true all-rounder!

Performance:
In the first half hour, the fragrance radiates more than well. After that, it increasingly joins the more private scent bubbles. A more even progression or a weaker gradation from power to close to the skin would be desirable here. Of course, the fragrance does not suddenly disappear and is still noticeable. For the wearer, however, it is difficult to perceive the fragrance over a longer period of time, as it starts very powerfully and thus provokes a rapid onset of fragrance blindness.

Design bottle / packaging:
The packaging is typically simple and does not require much description. The bottle, on the other hand, is simply timeless, classic and elegant. Here you get a chic, rectangular and high-quality glass bottle with a beautiful color gradient that reveals the orange juice in the upper part of the bottle. Understatement meets quality here.

Conclusion:
A wonderful all-rounder with known performance problems, which nevertheless has a high rating. This speaks all the more for the fragrance quality and versatility. But even a weak long-term performance has its advantages. Although the fragrance is not suitable as a long-distance beast, it proves to be absolutely advantageous in more intimate settings. The One is also ideal for wearers who like to wear two fragrances a day. An absolute recommendation to try and buy. Tip: Have a pocket atomizer with you and refresh it if you always want to have the fragrance around ;). Because that's exactly what every wearer wants: for the opening to never end!

Sunrise over the Red Sea!
The sun rises over the Red Sea. It rises majestically and bathes the city in golden light. The water at the harbor glistens gently. As the sun reveals some of its power, a cool stream of sea air surrounds you. You feel warmed and refreshed at the same time. Fine scents are everywhere in the air and combine to create an indescribable composition. A great feeling spreads through you. You greet the day with open arms, like an old friend.

Description:
Beginning with a light, almost gossamer citrus, the fragrance starts gently but powerfully. The top note is accompanied by floral notes. Chamomile can be detected, but blends into the overall composition. The fragrance follows an oriental theme that remains present throughout. The fragrance progression is relatively linear and difficult to put into words. I find that the individual fragrance notes come together to create a unique fragrance experience. It is a feeling of warmth and freshness that envelops and accompanies the wearer.

Performance:
In keeping with its origins, this candidate has plenty of steam on the boiler. The longevity is very good and easily surpasses the 10-hour mark. The sillage is strong but still pleasantly radiant. This fragrance is perceived without overwhelming its surroundings. The duration of the radiance is enormous. On my skin, the fragrance projects for at least 5-6 hours. If not even longer. Great!

Design bottle / packaging:
The packaging is elegant and gently frames the golden bottle. Black and gold. Delicate and unobtrusive. The bottle shines like the golden sun over Jeddah, the port city. A honeycomb pattern adorns the lid. The sprayer is solid. You get a great overall package here, which is strongly oriented towards the theme and the fragrance. Personally, I find the colorful bottles from the same company more beautiful, but that is purely a matter of taste.

Conclusion:
Here you get an incredibly high-quality overall package with a unique fragrance experience. Performance, value and quality. Everything is right here. This is fun. If you value new oriental experiences, far away from all the oud hammers, this is the one for you ;). The fragrance is not a blind-buy candidate, although it is very compatible. But it is special and has to suit the wearer and their taste. It is definitely worth a test and even a purchase for lovers.

The best of all worlds!
Early in the morning, blue bottle in hand, 3-5 sprays on the back of the neck and off you go. You feel and smell freshly showered. On the way to work, the scent wafts into your nose. It already has power. And somehow it reminds you of something. Sauvage, BdC, AdG? Yes and no. It seems as if the fragrance draws on the best from the world of blue freshies. A little aquatic here, a little citric there. A good load of ambrox. A pinch of sweetness is also a must, of course. And the universal freshie is ready. Ready to refresh every man, whether young or mature.

Description:
The fragrance starts with a good dose of aquatic top notes. This is joined by citrusy notes, a good hammer of ambrox and a little sweetness. There is not much going on for the first half hour and for some people it can be almost too much synthetic. Fortunately, the fragrance settles more and more in the heart and base. It becomes rounder and smoother. The fragrance does not have much of a progression. You simply smell fresh and clean all day long.

Performance:
As with most EdT fragrances, you have the greatest projection / sillage in the first half hour to hour. After that, the fragrance subsides to a pleasant but still noticeable level. Ambrox can quickly cause fragrance blindness. However, the fragrance lasts and does not disappoint. my skin gets 8 hours out of it. In relation to the price, a more than good performance. And if you're not satisfied with the performance, just spray it on again ;). Doesn't hurt that much here. However, I would be careful when over-spraying, as the synthetic could be too overwhelming at first and therefore less fun.

Bottle design / packaging:
The outer packaging is square, practical and good. Typical designer fragrance. I personally like the bottle very much. It has a dark blue look in keeping with its fragrance type. The bottle is also decorated with golden applications. The lid (plastic) looks harmonious. The spray head and the front are adorned with the Versace Medusa. All in all, an elegant and tasteful bottle with great decorations.

Conclusion:
Here you have a true price/performance winner on your hands. Everlasting blue-freshie DNA with decent performance from the master Alberto Morillas. What more could you want? A clear test and buy recommendation.

Just smell good :)
You reach for the kama, pull the trigger and your mood is immediately lifted. "Damn, you smell good!" flashes through your mind as you get ready for the day. Inspired by the beautiful, juicy blackberry and the light spice, you are drawn outside. Where does the path lead? It doesn't matter! City? Go! Nature? Goes too! To work? Why not! Party / event? Sure! Eating cake with grandma? Now more than ever! You realize that this thing can really do something and that you are equipped for everything. Three-weather taffeta as a perfume? It would probably fit in really well with the marketing concept. Just enjoy life and go with the flow. As on and on and on.......

Description:
The top note starts fruity with the prominent blackberry and a few spicy and green notes. The blackberry is already dominant, although never too sweet and/or sticky. The heart note then becomes sweeter with cotton candy, which in turn is balanced by iris and gives you a stately clean note. Playful yet sophisticated. Musk fluff is then added in the base, which makes the fragrance totally soft and cozy. I personally don't notice leather that much. But I never have with London, for example.

Performance:
At the beginning, the fragrance has a lot of pressure. However, after half an hour - an hour, it clearly recedes. It is present but in a subtle way. Kama doesn't shout out loud into the world, but takes a steady and relaxed approach without losing its presence. After 6-8 hours it's unfortunately over, at least for me.

Design bottle / packaging:
The bottle and packaging are very simple and elegant. The black, square and high-quality packaging conceals a rectangular, simple and elegant bottle. The corners of the bottle are rounded here and there, which makes it a little more interesting. I particularly like the round metal cap. The sprayer is also okay but unfortunately not pressurized. I'm a fan of the design but I could also understand if you find it too boring.

Conclusion:
Here you get an incredibly versatile fragrance that offers a beautiful gradient and is guaranteed not to offend, but knows how to convey its own personality. In general, the Pernoire fragrances offer a special fragrance experience in my opinion, as they convey a feeling to the wearer. You get the impression that you are immersed in the fragrance personality, allowing yourself to be guided and supported by it and merging with it. A clear test and purchase recommendation from me.

Uff it's strong, that's how our babysitter smells.......
For a special occasion (comedy event), I wore this festive fragrance to stand out. And that's exactly what I did with flying colors. My better half immediately commented on this fragrance with "Who wants to smell like a sauna infusion? I mean, it doesn't smell bad, but it's kind of old-fashioned.". When we arrived at the event and our seats, the scent was immediately commented on by the people sitting behind me. "Uff, it's strong. It smells like our babysitter. Very strong.". I assume that the babysitter seems to be an older lady, because the scent actually reminds me of my grandma. Radiating nostalgia, the scent was like hell and I was definitely noticed. By then I was terribly uncomfortable, which never happens when I wear strong fragrances, and I had to think back to Roja Dove's words that a fragrance has to match your personality. This fragrance belongs on a person who absolutely stands behind it and radiates and possesses a good deal of self-confidence. I'm not quite ready for you yet, dear Mr. Diaghilev ;).

Description:
In the top note, which by the way is really terribly short, you can hear a hint of citrus. And after a short time, the fragrance really hits its stride and steps on the spice pedal. Now the fragrance is more floral and spicy (very nostalgic and classic) and doesn't change for a while. Associations with sauna infusions are quite justified, although this fragrance is also much more complex. Of course, the mossy base is already noticeable in the heart note. After a few hours, the fragrance loses some of its florality and becomes more resinous and powdery. It remains this way until the end. The progression is typical of a chypre fragrance. Very elegant, classic, high-quality and unfortunately also old-fashioned.

Performance:
We don't need to beat about the bush here. This thing here has steam and that's what you'd expect given the proud price. For the first 4 hours, it radiates properly and is permanently noticeable to the wearer. This can be both an advantage and a disadvantage ;). On the skin it is easily perceptible for another 10 hours plus and on clothes forever.

Design bottle / packaging:
Classic, timeless, high-quality, stylish and elegant. I love the bottle and was even tempted to buy it blind because of it :D. The packaging matches the bottle, no question.

Conclusion:
Highly complex, high-quality and classic chypre fragrance that definitely needs to be worn by the right person. The fragrance MUST suit the personality of the wearer, otherwise the fragrance will wear you and not give you good vibes. Even if it doesn't quite suit my personal taste at the moment and it definitely doesn't fit into the "modern" category, it is nevertheless a masterpiece and a statement of French perfumery.
Never buy blindly. "Try before you buy" applies here more than ever. It is definitely worth a test. Whether it will find an awful lot of fans is another question.
