But I don't care. I often find the lost treasures particularly interesting. Eau de Fleur de Yuzu is also a chance find on Ebay and I quite like wearing it in the warmer months.

There is no gradient and apparently the fragrance is supposed to be monothematic. Supposedly yuzu and grapefruit are supposed to smell quite similar. However, like the previous post, I can't find any grapefruit here. The citrusy scent is very soft and gentle, not a hint of sourness or sharpness. It has more of a floral undercurrent, could be violets, but very transparent, not as powdery as you often find in violet fragrances. Very pleasant. And it stays like this for about 3 hours. If I spray myself heavily, there is a bit of sillage, but it doesn't last any longer than that.

That's it already. The concentration is obviously EDT, but most of my colognes last longer.

Eau de Fleur de Yuzu is a feel-good fragrance for errands that are really annoying. Visits to the dentist, visits to the authorities, everything that is really stupid, because this gentle veil of fragrance has such an incredibly positive effect. That's why I forgive its short shelf life.

I am not surprised that Eau de Fleur de Yuzu has not been able to assert itself on the market. There is simply not enough going on here. I don't think I would have bought the fragrance regularly in a store either. The Kenzo fragrances are priced in the average designer range. Even though Eau de Fleur de Yuzu is really beautiful, it wouldn't be worth (an estimated) €40 to me because it's too simple and too short-lived. But as a cheap chance find, it gives me pleasure.

Finding unknown fragrances from (partly) well-known brands is always a lot of fun for me. Perhaps because you always associate something specific with the brands and are then often surprised.

I got the fragrance for Christmas in 2008. My mom took me to Müller and I was allowed to choose a perfume. I remember reaching into the shelves more or less haphazardly because I had no idea at the time. However, I preferred to look at the very questionable bottles ("Look at that kitschy bottle! What might a perfume like that smell like?") That's how I ended up with Daisy, Lady Million and Glamour.

I remember being very surprised that the bling-bling bottle contained a very understated and discreet fragrance. Not really glamorous, but surprisingly pleasant.

In the meantime, of course, I've had several similar fragrances under my nose. Glamour no longer knocks my socks off, but I still like wearing it.

Lotus blossoms and orchids, soft and not too sweet. The "frizzy" top note comes from salt and mugwort. As far as I know, it was still rather unusual at the time to use neither citrus notes nor sour berries for freshness in the top note of a mainstream fragrance for women. It was just kept very subtle. More could certainly have been made of it. As it is, you only notice a cool, dry freshness in the background.
The flowers remain present for a few hours, otherwise not much changes after the top note fades. A typical musky amber base finally envelops the flowers and the fragrance fades out after around 4 hours.

I have the impression that more could have been achieved here, but probably didn't want to offend. The top note could have been more prominent and the base could have been more exciting. The fragrance pyramid also mentions cedarwood. Unfortunately, I don't notice any of that. It could have been a nice contrast to the soft floral heart notes. But Moschino probably wanted to play it safe.

I tend to reach for Glamour in the colder months when I have something to do that I don't feel like doing, meet unpleasant people or am traveling and have long waiting times. Because the scent has such a pleasant, enveloping quality. Like an olfactory protective coat that keeps anger and impatience at bay.

Glamour is not a challenging, unique or exciting fragrance, but one that simply touches and embraces me. I appreciate that too.

I was lucky enough to get hold of 4 full bunker bottles of this fragrance on Ebay. I gave one to a perfumer friend, one to my mother, one I'm keeping and one is in the souk ;)

In contrast to my previous post, however, I don't think that a new edition of Eglantine would sell well. It smells vintage through and through, but in terms of intensity it's more like a body splash than a perfume. Light, simple, straightforward and (unfortunately) quite fleeting.

Eglantine refers to the dog rose. So here we have a soliflore. There are definitely aldehydes in the top note, you have that characteristic "vintage smell". The rose is light, airy and very clean. As it progresses, it becomes more and more reminiscent of rose soap. My guess is white musk. I also detect a subtly scratchy oakmoss - as Serafina mentioned - from time to time.
After an hour, the fragrance is actually finished, but the rose soap remains on the clothes for half a day.

I particularly like vintage fragrances, which is why I LOVE Eglantine. It has nothing whatsoever of a current perfume. That's why I would only recommend it to vintage fans and collectors. The fragrance is beautiful, delicate, feminine. I associate it with a young girl with porcelain doll complexion, in a pastel frilly dress, in a blooming garden in May. Old-fashioned, a little kitschy, but beautiful.

Recommended for anyone who likes to be a little out of time.

At La Rive I have already missed a few times quite nasty. But you never know if you will find something interesting at some point... Vanilla Touch has here really phenomenally good reviews. But unfortunately, this also does not work for me.

In principle, I sign everything that my Vorposter have already described here. Only smells at me just permanently unpleasant synthetic. Probably I must not wonder at a fragrance around 3 € / 30 ml. I finds halt not sensible to wear something like that, just because it costs so insanely little. Unless of course, you like the fragrance, or he works on you and, if you look at the reviews, that's not so far-fetched.

The vanilla starts dark and smoky. Would have guessed something resinous in the top note. Hawthorn I find a little strange. Smells the not quite unpleasant?

Over long stretches Vanilla Touch smells like heliotrope. So a sweet vanilla-almond scent mixture, is eh known from many fragrances. Something fruity but would have been good, then the whole thing would probably not seem so pappig. I have to think of cheap scented candles here, unfortunately. It is not totally unpleasant, but for a perfume inappropriate, in my opinion.

The base then serves up the custard. I think it smells pretty much like the one from Dr. Oetker, the one from the powder. Maybe a little too much sugared and somehow suddenly way too authentic. I don't like smelling like I spilled pudding on myself.

But if you like the scent, you can consider yourself lucky. I think I have never come across such a cheap fragrance with such a flawless durability. 2 spritzes and you come through the day. Sillage is present, but moderate, which is certainly not a disadvantage for sweet gourmand fragrances. In addition, you really have aVerlauf, which is not always the case in the price range. Often the fragrance falls after half an hour in itself to an indefinable mishmash. Vanilla Touch is not the case: smoky top note, heliotrope in the heart and pudding in the base. Therefore, the quality here should not be so bad, only smells at me just not like a perfume that I want to wear

I admit, the clothes of Desigual are my Guilty Pleasure. Actually, I prefer to run around dressed gothic, but these Desigual dresses have me really taken... The fragrances have left me so far, however, pretty cold. but Fresh smelled today so beautiful D&G Light Blue on the paper strip, filtered by FFP-2.

Was on it and about to just take the big bottle, but then I let caution prevail. First sniff it on the skin without a mask. Clever, because that would have been a bad buy. The Light Blue-Kop0fnote holds itself amazingly long and smells in the first augenblick really, as if one had the more expensive original aufgesprüht, but then something mixes under it, which disturbs me massively. the mint possibly. It smells in any case sharp and synthetic. The apple also mucks up its appearance and unfortunately reminds me too much of cleaning products. On the side, I also smell something aquatic. I suppose lotus and yuzu. Somewhere in the back of my mind, memories of Arden Green Tea and Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey pop up. But the whole thing just smells cheap. Me as a routine PArfuma of course vokllkommen kalr that "cheap" does not always mean "bad", but here riechts after 200ml-Buddel for 2,99.

For me, the whole thing is thus ticked off. Even if I did not already have some comparable fragrances in the collection, Fresh would not be wearable for me. The overall impression is pungent, intrusive and simply annoying.

Now, however, I have 9 hours after application again sniffed the skin and you do not want to believe it, but I now have a touch of very delicate musk with a little lemon in the nose. Very pleasant. However, only very weak directly on the skin to sniff.

Too bad, I'll probably stay with the clothes of Desigual for the time being. This fragrance could not convince me.
