Delightful

'.. Cristal is elegant and
she's a very welcome guest.
There are many interesting things about her.
She dresses chic and modern, her hair she prefers to wear tied up high.
Red lips are her trademark.
She is very successful, knows that and likes to communicate it to the outside world. She is neither arrogant nor conceited, but she loves luxury and enjoys life.
But when the evening is late, she unties her tied hair and wears it open.
She exchanges the fine fabric for a party dress, because now she wants to have fun and she knows where to get it...'

That was my image that I had in my head when I tested -Mon Parfum Cristal and smelled the wonderful scent :).

Now for the fragrance:
First of all, it's slightly fruity with musk.
After 5 minutes I see a delicate rose. (The smell goes there for me already in the direction of "Ladylike")
Then after 45 minutes the smell becomes sweeter, creamier. The rose and musk are still very present. Something slightly spicy I perceive now, but only very gently and more in the passing scurry.

The shelf life is quite long for me, I could smell him for about 9 hours. Also his charisma is quite good, one has always noticed him on me :).

.. Just a nice smell...

I wanted a fruity scent, but it is not too squeaky sweet, because I already have a few of them ;).

Now "Casamorati- Dolce Amalfi" caught my eye.
I couldn't test it anywhere, so I risked a blind buy.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained," I thought to myself.

Now for the fragrance:
On my skin I get, after a short, beautiful fruit phase,
especially the cloves & incense. The quince can only be perceived very delicately.
But soon I only smell the clove, everything else is gone.
What a pity :/, I wanted to have a nice, smoky-warm, quince fruit note.

But I'll give it a shot, I'll spray Dolce Amalfi on the sleeve of my sweater. Let's see how he does there. And...

The start is again this wonderful fruit note, I can smell quince clearly now. Shortly afterwards the cloves and incense are added, but this time the fruity ones don't disappear :).
The scent is now developing just as I had hoped.
It becomes smoky-spicy and quince-fruity.

The Sillage is strong, one sprayer is fragrant all over the room. And the durability?
Well, on my skin I have been smelling the clove for 8 hours now, but on my sweater I will still be able to smell the beautiful Dolce Amalfi tomorrow ;D.

Yes, Dolce Amalfi is already a special perfume and I am already looking forward to wearing it on colder days :)

Mémoires d'Amour starts out on my skin stunningly lemony and fresh.
But this beautiful fruity note, only lasts barely 20 seconds.
Then it is replaced by the sweet-flowery Ylang-Ylang and the fragrance becomes powdery.

After a while, the sweet tonka bean is added and now the scent reminds me of creamy fluffy marshmallows dusted with pink icing sugar
Sandalwood also mixes itself, but only very gently (for my sensation), into the fragrance development and deepens the powdery sweetness.
Unfortunately I do not notice peony at all and Mémoires d'Amour does not want to develop further on my skin.

It's a pity, because even if it is a really nice powder scent for me, I would have liked to have had some peony in the development.

Sillage and shelf life:
The Sillage of the fragrance is not room filling, but rather close to the body/ skin.
And as tender as the Sillage is, it is unfortunately also about the durability. Mémoires d'Amour creeps away after only about 4 hours.

All that really remains is a romantic memory of a beautiful, lovely and delicate floral powder scent.

When I saw the bottle of Pour Femme on the shelf of my favourite drugstore, I associated with the pretty orange tones, sunset and summer feeling.
Since I was looking for a nice, creamy summer scent, I was in a testing mood.

My first thought about the fragrance was,
i lie on my new air mattress, whose rubber smell still has to evaporate a little bit.
The scent of my sun cream is mixed with it, on sun-warmed skin.
Okey, it couldn't have been that
so I'm gonna give it some time and give my nose a little air.

After approx. 10 minutes again on the wrist and sniff.
The smell of rubber is gone, fortunately, because the rest is not so bad.

I smell pear, and freesia out, which gives the fragrance something fresh at first.
Cedar wood and cashmeran make it aromatic-creamy.
The vanilla gives sweetness, but not too much.
The other scents I find rather reserved

Then I suddenly think I know him!
Cause he reminds me a little bit of br />
"Emporio Armani She".
So he stays that way, but unfortunately he gets very close to me very quickly.

I think he has something and even if he is not what I was looking for, he is welcome to move in with me.

At first I wasn't interested in Valentina at all.
But then I thought, as I was again making a foray through the perfumery during my break, a test wouldn't hurt.

By pressing the spray head, the sweet-floral, delicately fruity and very powdery fragrance made me dive into a room in baroque style while dreaming.

I had an image in my head. Of a bright, light-filled room. There were stucco mouldings on the walls and a large cream-coloured dressing table was standing in the corner.
On the dressing table stood an opened powder compact with a tassel and small bottles of exquisite perfume. Heavy velvet curtains hung from the open windows and a fine fragrance of jasmine, orange blossom and tuberose filled the room.
In the middle of the room there was a small table, with a marble top and short, turned, gold lacquered table legs. On it stood a bowl with fresh, sweet-smelling strawberries. On a sofa covered with the finest brocade fabric sat a porcelain doll. She was dressed in opulent jacquard. I took her in my hand and a vanilla sweet rose in my nose.
Slowly the picture faded and I awoke from my daydream.
But since then I love Valentina and I feel completely comfortable with her
She is so fine and elegant, but unfortunately also quite entertaining.
Still, it was love at first sight
And every time I wear Valentina, the first time I spray it I think of this baroque room.


Silage+shelf life
Valentina is with me like a powdery sweet breeze and only has a good silage for a short time, then it will quickly become skinny.
It's the same with durability.
On the clothes I notice it still in the evening, on the skin unfortunately not after about 5 hours.

Still, I like wearing Valentina
Especially in spring, that's when the fragrance (for my feeling) comes into its own best.
