...like warm apple pie!
*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 :)

Into the weekend feeling!
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 :)

Lucky?
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 :)

Jesus in the swimming pool
The heading could be misinterpreted, as swimming pools can have quite a few (not always great) smells coming together.

But what makes Jesus Del Pozo`s "Halloween Man" is rather this sweetish suntan lotion / ozone mix paired with a wonderfully unobtrusive orange scent.

That makes this perfume much more complex and, above all, more innovative than Paco & Rabanne`s oft-cited "1 Million".

Also the good old "Black XS" I mean to smell from memory.

Please don't misunderstand I like 1 Million. He is for me personally just oversaturated and too often been quoted. For this, the fragrance can nix and he is still super.

And Jesus does not take 1 million away from you. He adds him something new, fruity fresh.

You feel like after a lush swim in the ocean/swimming pool.

The sunscreen gives off a sweet neroli like scent. The sun does the rest and even the freshly washed Badelaken one thinks to erduften.

It is difficult to explain but everyone who had this fragrance once in the nose, remembers again and again.

Durability and sillage are on 1 million level, the bottle is wacky but chic.

Thus, fans of sweet Paco & Rabanne fragrances can access without hesitation.

But that does not mean that everyone else should give Jesus del Pozo's creation a wide berth.

Yes, summer is coming to an end but it's not too late for a bit of swimming pool feeling from the bottle :)

"Nothing Else Matters" strumming around the campfire....
...off home and into the warm bubble bath.

So crazy much more there is not to say about Nicole Miller`s (who?) fragrance.

Who does not know them, campfire evenings with semi-talented friends/girlfriends, which give meaningful song lyrics to the best?!?

The only thing that counts (Nothing Else Matters) is at parfumo but to make a meaningful statement about a fragrance. And that's exactly what I'm trying to do now.
Peace!

The opening captivates by smoky woods, which smolder with foliage in a cozy campfire before itself. This component is already arg pronounced present.

Fors recognize an apple head note you already need a lot of imagination.
If you want to recognize here at all something fruity, then rather dried fruits from the Orient market.
But even that is rather negligible.

More pleasant I find the legacy of the EdT`s, because here I felt reminded of the Saturday full bath with viiiiiiiel foam.

Especially in the drydown phase, you can perceive the vanillig warm sandalwood note.

That was it but then already. Much smoke around nothing one would like to say.
Quite so bad it is then but also not. Just the second phase makes up for some and a cuddly Saturday night in front of the home Glotze can come

The shelf life is moderate to good. Similarly, it behaves with the sillage.

Don't get me wrong. The smoky start is quite well done, just not so mine.
The rest reconciles but then but.

The bottle...well. Further back in the closet he can do nothing.

That`s it. A fragrance that you do not necessarily need.
For the small thaler he enriches the collection but at least an unusual variance in the field of cuddly fragrances.
