Sergio Tacchini's "Club" is one of those perfumes that most will pass by carelessly.
Too boring - indeed, almost ugly - is the flacon.
The name screams yawning boredom. Let's be serious. "CLUB"??

So it's a good thing that I'm actually quite brave when it comes to blindbuys.

Yeah, I've been sorely disappointed a few times. But that was more due to my expectations.
Therefore, I would not blame any fragrance.

In the case of Tacchini's "Club" has actually irritated me only one fragrance component:
"Chinotto"
Why?
First of all, I know the eponymous tart refreshing drink from the beautiful south of Italy (even as a child I was often in Puglia) and secondly, I don't know any perfume that cites Chinotto as a component.

Now finally came the package, the perfume was really cheap to buy (100ml under 20 euros).

Everything that came now formed the extreme contrast (hence the headline) between nasty 08/15 Flakon and the content.

My God ,what a uniquer Freshie "Club" but is.

The first thing that greets you is the freshness of the yuzufruit, strong and in no way restrained.
The bergamot joins the opening and it first fulfills all expectations that one has with a cheap seeming fragrance. So far, so familiar.

But the drydown is simply a blast.

The (the, the?) Chinotto with its tart / sweet effervescence now makes itself really wide, followed by a wonderfully salty aquatic note, which gives you permanently the feeling of strolling along the promenade in a small southern Italian hamlet.

Here I see parallels to my dearly beloved "Salt Air" by Demeter.

That this freshness lasts easily 3-4 hours is super for a fragrance of this Couleur.
Just the tart-fresh note claws itself like crazy in the skin.

Shortly before the demise of this perfume, you can still smell clean white musk, as you know and love it from well-groomed linen.

I am simply addicted to this fragrance. He is simply unique in its DNA.
A similar fragrance - certainly not with comparable course - is not known to me.

Sergio Tacchini's "Club" is a fabulous example of a classic own goal.
If one had simply put a little more love into the design of the product, so this great fragrance would not now almost be sold off.

I'm Honest, the design would have completely deterred me in the store. Most certainly also.
Boring bottle, plastic lid, cardboard well...

How nice that courage is sometimes rewarded.
So I became the proud owner of a uniquely authentic southern Italian fragrance without synthetics and quite a few beautiful longing memories.

But even without these Erinnerrungen "Club" (oh God this name) is an incredibly beautiful freshman, whose DNA you do not smell on Hinz and Kunz.

In any case, I will feel the good Tacchini and his fragrances times something on the tooth. Maybe there is still one or the other ugly duckling hidden. ;)

I wish you a fragrant day :)

The market gives yes a lot here, what vanilla fragrances.

Whether now plump vanilla aroma a`la Dr. Oetker or the countless variations in the form of custard cream, muffins, cookies etc. etc.

Quite a few of them I also have, even if one would like to attribute vanilla as a fragrance superficially rather the ladies.

Fortunately, we are as a society but now more diverse and so speaks times nix against wearing a vanilla-like fragrance even as a man.

Of course, also applies here: The total package must be right.

And that is true with "Un Bois Vanille" by Serge Lutens but times so of.

Fortunately, one has distanced himself with this perfume from over-sugared nonsense.
The result is a remarkably fresh composition that can not and will not hide its vanilla-heavy undertone.

If you read the ingredients of the fragrance pyramid, you might think here to have a children's perfume in front of you. Fortunately, this is not so.

Fine-tuned are the individual components, even if I do not want to claim all herauszuriechen. Just with the bitter almond I do myself hard, because marzipanig the fragrance now truly does not seem.

But you can sniff a lot of fresh coconut water. Coconut milk I define rather sweet / creamy. The coconut note recognizable here I consider fresh green-watery.

And here is, in my opinion, the crux, which distinguishes "Un Bois Vanille" from most other vanilla fragrances.

Of course, many many people like gourmand sweet vanilla. Me too...up to a point.

This is where Serge Lutens distances himself from most others and has created a wonderful fragrance that I think fits any season.
It doesn't smother you with sweetness in the summer, it's still cozy enough for colder days.

For me, "Un Bois Vanille" is an all-season unisex fragrance at its best.
Clearly, this is my new reference as far as vanilla fragrances are concerned.

The durability is class, the sillage as well.

A Layerbiest is the fragrance also yet. Depending on what one the sense stands, he is grateful host for a number of fragrances (ideally single note fragrances).
I am in the happy situation a huge "Library of Fragrance" library to own and so I stand times the sense of Barbados Cherry, Neroli, Hibiscus, Cranberry etc.

Currently, the perfume in combination with "Neroli Intense" is my favorite.
The two complement each other fantastically, especially with the current warm temperatures close to 28°.

But that's all optional and not necessary, since Serge Lutens "Un Bois Vanille" also does what it's supposed to do on its own: Smell damn good!!!

I wish you a fragrant day :)

*cough cough... The 90s teen comedy "American Pie" has quite obviously been the godfather for this perfume.

Well, whether and how you can now become intimate with a perfume / would like to be times put aside.
With the name-giving pie it worked in the film so semigut.

But now to the perfume:

Where, pray tell, is the apple in the fragrance pyramid?
This was my first reaction after the first spray, after I have read through this again here at parfumo.

I am literally screamed at by a deliciously sweet red apple in this perfume by Ulric de Varens.
And also quite authentic.
After spraying on, memories of Boss Bottled (Intense) are awakened.

No question, the Boss has created a cult perfume, an absolute evergreen.
From my point of view, however, nothing speaks against this classic times exchanged.

"Varens d'Orient Elixir" simply acts multilayered, without being overloaded.

This spice combination is animal fun.
It does not overwhelm one and the cardamom from Indian cuisine, which I love so much, comes (gently) to bear.

Everything is clearly defined and super coordinated. There are already some fragrances that put a scent mishmash in front of you, which you just can not klamüsern apart.

"Varens d'Orient Elixir" is really a highlight among the "minions".

Everyone who enjoys sweet-fruity & oriental fragrances, should give the perfume times a moment of his attention. Disappointed may be only the fewest.

Despite the warm seeming spices, the perfume also fits amazingly well in the summer.
It does not crush you, you yourself (and the environment) takes in the first line of the sweet apple with cardamom, as well as hardly perceive synthetics.
There is no trace of typical Christmas associated baked apple or the like, which one might think from the fragrance pyramid.

The durability, as well as the sillage are excellent.

In summary, this EdT reminds me of a deliciously spiced apple pie warm from the oven.

The price/performance ratio is fantastic.
The current rating (as of 09.2021) of 8.5 is completely justified.

I wish you a fragrant day :)

Well, who still remembers this advertising slogan of the 90s?
Probably so some ;)

Now but the question arises, what this has to do with this fragrance "Moon Flower" by Juniper Lane.
This question can be answered with a few lines.

What the name Moon Flower should have to do with the fragrance I do not know, at most that it sounds cheesy and probably after several brainstorming crafty marketing people as a result was spat out.

I say now simply times as it is.

This perfume smells to me almost 1:1 like a Zott cream yogurt cherry!

It`s creamy, fruity, creamy, fluffy, yogurty (does that word even exist) ;)

Of course, I do not wear the fragrance, but my wife.
However, I smell him crazy happy to my wife.

One could easily assign the fragrance to a young target group, were it not for that certain clever trick. It's hard to describe but "Moon Flower" has something about it that makes him totally wearable - even for ü 40s.

It may sound strange and some may ask the question
"Why would I want to smell like a yogurt?"
These are such questions that are hard to explain.

The EdT gives off this feel-good vibe that makes it almost impossible not to like him.

Sure, one or two might be bothered by the sweetness.

I think "Moon Flower" is pretty well balanced, there's not too much or too little of anything.
It's on the border of unwearable but still kind of right between the eyes and on the twelve.

In any case, we polarize the fragrance. Who likes fruity sweet / creamy fragrances with a certain lightness, will find here really. All others prefer to make a bow around it.

Floral is here times nothing, powdery just as little.

This yogurt-like freshness is really a curiosity in itself and I have never smelled and hey... i have the craziest "Library of Fragrance" fragrances at home.
Even "Sugar Cookie", "Birthday Cake" or "Graham Cracker" (just to name a few examples) can't compete with that.

The shelf life is quite ok. More than 3-4 hours, however, you can not expect. For this, the sillage is quite pronounced.

The bottle is truly no piece of jewelry, however, the color of the bottle fits the above yogurt like a fist on the eye.

It should be mentioned that Juniper Lane advertises that all ingredients in "Moon Flower" are of natural origin, as well as vegan.

Also, I would like to mention that the flowers advertised on the packaging are pure decoration.
In this perfume, flowers have recognizable no relevance.

Then I am once again through with my small Rezi to "Moon Flower"

Have another fragrant day :)

If you read here some reviews so, it seems directly as if some of "Open White" feels personally insulted.

But hey, that's not an accusation at all. Everyone perceives the fragrance differently and if the actually a very popular Tom Ford fragrance should resemble and this does not I can perhaps even understand.

Maybe my olfactory simplicity is my luck in this case? Lucky!

Therefore, I can now give my impression of Roger & Gallet`s "Open White" in a fresh, pious, cheerful, off-the-cuff manner.

So this is not a comparative review, but simply my opinion.

I was lucky enough to get a sample of this perfume a few months ago in the course of a souk (Paperback/Demeter). I thought it was pretty good at the time, had it on my watch list for a long time. Somehow I have lost the but over time from my field of vision.
Probably also because I was mega focused on my Library of Fragrance collection.

Now I have remembered it back and have just looked if the perfume here by chance someone gives away.
And they there: a nice lady sent me the fragrance after payment very zugig.

Now to my impressions.
Finally times a unisex fragrance (even if it is declared differently here), which gets along without any florals, was my thought when I read the fragrance pyramid.
And it's true. "Open White" does almost everything right that I expect from a nice unisex fragrance.
It has very little freshness in my eyes, which I find very pleasant.
A soft and surprisingly unkitschy creaminess caresses the nose.
This goes almost in the direction of vanilla nut cake batter.

There is no trace of chemical alcohol smell.

In any case, I smell tonka bean and full broadside.
The fragrance settles neatly. Will say, the sillage is great. The durability in this price range super.

I assume quite strongly that "Open White" in autumn / winter still puts on a shovel.
When the typical Schietwetter sets in, this soft fragrance is guaranteed to warm one for sure.
This super nice vanilla clay note ensures.

So I can only say good things about this perfume. He is miles away from cheap to smell.
Who says that has not yet smelled cheap fragrances ;)

Whether and to what extent the good Tom Ford with his "Fucking Fabulous" is achieved I can not judge. Is honestly me also wurscht.

My budget and Tom Ford are simply incompatible. That doesn't mean I'm going to buy cheap junk, that's for sure.
This fragrance is just great for me/us.

Yes, the flacon should not win any designer awards but even that is highly secondary for me.

With the price in mind, this is a real nobrainer.

Jo, that's it from me.
Wonderfully soft unisex scent, great price. Nothing More to Say.

Have a fragrant time :)
