Give me more!
Welcome to another bumbling review, but written from the heart. (I don't know what heliotrope smells like, so it doesn't appear here. My mom finds it floral at times, though.)
I'm testing with two pffts:

OneMore starts citrically tart and slightly sweet, but to my understanding without a cleansing vibe.
Cardamom and a dark chocolate note resonate in the background.
I find it a rather light fragrance, not a firecracker that caresses and envelops you. For a gourmand, it is manageably sweet and not at all sticky.

Now pomelo dances a close dance with caramel,
after fifteen minutes, cedar joins in and the fragrance is delicately scented with a still slightly citrusy, moderately sweet and gently woody melange.
Every now and then, cardamom slips forward again. After 30 minutes, it becomes increasingly woody in a calm way, caressing me with a mixture of dark chocolate, cardamom and caramel. Something citrusy continues to dance in the haze. After a good hour, it becomes quieter,
at about this point, my friend says "Sorry, but it almost smells like a men's deodorant". I don't feel that way at all! That's cheeky. And I am otherwise extremely sensitive when it comes to masculine notes. Maybe he's referring to this axe chocolate deodorant that used to be available. Well, never mind.
After two hours, cedar takes up more and more space on the dance floor, with a dark, slightly spicy chocolate trail wafting around it. After five hours, a dark hint of vanilla with caramel has a chat, then everyone goes home.

Thanks again to my dearest swap partner for letting me test this fragrance. After it initially ended up in my swap box, I tested it again by chance and fell in love with it. So it will probably move in. I'd like it to last longer and be a bit more radiant, but I think it's okay to have a few quieter fragrances. I'm looking forward to spraying the full run over - ashes on my head.
OneMore, give me another one!

Midnight citrus berries
Here I try now at my first "reasonable" review. And yes, also a bit out of pity to the colleague here :D

It should be said: this is my first contact with perfume oil.

The opening is very synthetic and sweet: raspberry and citrus, but it has no cleanser tones for me. Something is slightly tart and also gaanz discreet musky-fresh, I would say. A slight smokiness I feel, probably from the caramel, which rounds everything out a bit. Since I am a very sweet aunt, I estimate him as not too extremely pappsüß.

I am quite torn, actually my nose says "oh that's nix for you", but he has something about him, which keeps me from wanting to give him away again immediately. So he is not that bad. To be honest, I have already reacted much (!) worse and extremely clearly to fragrances, in that my nose has unmistakably communicated their dislike to me. :x
My friend, who is otherwise also rather critical of my fragrance experiments, says: "Is quite okay."

I am not particularly good at describing notes accurately. But since I have a very difficult nose myself and don't like most of it due to interfering notes, I can say in good conscience what it is not for me: it is neither soapy, nor powdery, it has no cleaner vibes, it doesn't get a surprising interfering note in DD, but remains quite linear. It always alternates a bit for me: fruity, citrusy, subtly tart. But always sweetish with a synthetic undertone.
Perhaps the scent could also be that of a delicious shower, shaving gel or hair product flavor "citrus berry".

(Addendum: Towards the end, it becomes a little soapy, but only discreetly. Depending on how sensitive you are. I am very sensitive)

On Hinraten I will try him with other fragrances to combine and dare my first step into the world of Layerns. Let's see what turns out nice!

The durability I find quite solid, applied in the morning you can perceive it in the evening still gingerly on the skin. The sillage I can judge poorly myself.... i would think that it remains rather close to the skin. From contaminated clothing blows anyhow now and then again powerfully what past the little nose and also keeps in it.
(I have a small spot on the calf berollt during the order.)

The bottle: it is a 6ml roll-on applicator, whose lid is made of rather cheap aluminum ? So he makes no high-quality impression, but at the price you can not expect that. The lid can be screwed tightly and does a reliable job. The overall package is still pleasant in the hand and just invites him to have in your pocket and rummage for it. ^^

Adjusted he does not seem to me, I was able to purchase him regularly at an online store. For me personally rather a feminine tending fragrance, by the tartness and freshness but not too exaggerated or even ladylike.
