In the estate of my deceased aunt in law I found this fragrance new and originally packed. Was also stored cool and dark. I was looking forward to this fragrance experience, because I missed the action when the fragrance was available. Subsequent scent did not appeal to me . The beginning was quite nice and spicy with cardamom. But then goes on with incense, myrrh and that was it. Together a terrible plörre. Synthetic and disharmonic. The finish then, with vanilla, sandalwood and patchouli, can no longer be described as fragrance but as stench. Then there were added notes that reminded of sour sweat or unventilated clothes. No, I do not want to smell like that. Shelf life of about 5 hours. Now I offered the scent of my 92-year-old aunt to test. Aunt was horrified and said she was still too young for such a granny smell :) Nothing would be right in front and back. Now my aunt was in the 70's my big example in terms of cosmetics and I still respect her opinion

I like rose scents very much and due to the positive feedback the bottle came to me already in autumn. It was already not my case then. But Rose and Autumn, I preferred to wait a little longer. But unfortunately, the new test was not exhilarating. The fragrance begins minimally with grapefruit and tangerine. But the scents are gone and now it goes to the full. An indefinable, penetrating, artificial mixture of all kinds of scents slays you. Only no trace of Rose. After this chemical firecracker a la Bayer laboratory, ambergris, musk and vanilla are added. With the flower scents or whatever it is supposed to be, cheap and pushy. After a while vanilla dominates. But by no means the natural vanilla, but striking and synthetic. Otherwise I find the scents of La Rive very successful. No matter if Dupe or an independent scent. This scent, however, in my eyes has failed totally disharmoniously. Unfortunately it lasts 7-8 hours and is difficult to remove. Bottle simple and practical.

Already in autumn with summery temperatures I bought this fragrance. But I could not make friends with him. It didn't suit me. I liked it, but then again, I didn't. I took it out again the next days and I found out that it was the time of the year why I did not like the fragrance. Now it's a great smell to me. The beginning very fruity fresh and citric, but not too sweet. This note lasts throughout the fragrance. Later the flower scents like freesia, rose and peony are added. I did not smell jasmine. With the citric beginning a perfect thing. The finish is then gently grounded by sandalwood and musk without pressing the fruity/floral beginning against the wall. This is unfortunately the case with some fragrances. I think with this fragrance I made a good grip for the warm season. Fresh, but not like toilet stone and flowery / tart without being crushed. Durability with me about 5 hours. The flacon practical and simple. Fits well into the handbag

I buy fragrances by nose, not by price. My uncle Karl had already beaten into me about 50 years ago, half an eternity ago. He was a wholesaler for cosmetics and hairdressing supplies and his warehouse in the 70s was paradise for me. To his greatest regret, his only child was a son and so he took great pleasure in introducing me to the finer points of cosmetics. So in my cupboard you can find the fragrances of Dior next to so-called "Bückware" from the drugstore.

I always like to test the Spirit fragrances. Unfortunately, I haven't found the ultimate great scent yet. For me the scents of the company somehow smell the same, no matter what they are called or what color they have. Yesterday a test of the new fragrance Spirit of Blooming Delight. Not a bad start. Fresh fruity and citric with a hint of astringency through the black currant. I could have liked that one. Unfortunately a pungent undertone mixed in. It did not thin out so quickly at La Rive fragrances. A bouquet of flowers where you couldn't smell a single scent, flattened the freshness. Then there were the warmer tones like musk, patchouli and cedar wood. Had it not been for the austere cashmere wood, I could have made friends with the scent. But then it was neither fish nor meat, just a disharmonious cloud of scent. Durability with 4 hours quite long. Could have been even longer, but I scrubbed the scent off after a while. It was just a sentence with X

My second new addition this year from YR. Again a fragrance you could call a body spray. It's not as light as some of the other new fresh scents that are gone faster than sound, but it can't compete with old scents like Chèvrefeuille. After an hour the scent is gone. You should also be aware that this fragrance only consists of three ingredients. So do not make high demands. It is and remains a slightly tart scent.

The beginning with tangerine and lemon fresh and quickly the tangerine is also gone again. Lemon stays and the cedar comes. One smells tartly cultivated and nothing more. Since I only ordered a 20ml bottle, you can calculate how long I can get by with it. At the end of the day the scent is not for me. Since it fits well into the handbag it is not bad to have it with you in summer. But I won't buy it again. Unfortunately, YR is getting weaker and weaker for me every year. The fragrances only a Pamsche and the bottles cheapest design where often the foils on it dissolve. It's a pity, but somewhere the company has to save money
