Favea

Today I would like to write a small review about a fragrance and a brand that is still rather unknown here, or simply not yet noticed.

Again, my choice fell on a "green fragrance". And this one is really really green. Grass green like the pretty bottle in which the green elixir is. Vyrao makes natural fragrances, each of which follows a different "spirit". I am Verdant is supposed to provide strong, clear energies, in the wearer.

But now to the fragrance description:
It starts with the scent of fresh lawn clippings. Just like when you mow the lawn, and the earth is still a little damp when mowing. It's not at all unpleasant or too earthy here, but a beautiful introduction to this scent. Green, and it's here and now. Shortly after, the grassy green is joined by the fleshy darker green of cyclamen leaves. Now we are at the peak of the "green phase", which is followed by a phase where the iris dusts the whole thing with pistachio green powder. The incense ignites very softly and silvery brightly and beautifies this deep green world with its threads of smoke. Until it ends with cuddly soft green-mossy musk that is beautifully peppered. So it lingers on the skin until the end: green-mossy soft-fine.

The silage is, as is often the case with natural scents, quite skin-deep, though it is persistent. Gentle-enduring.

This fluffy green breeze is finely made, nicely balanced and pleasantly wearable. It is in every respect unisex - nature is there for all!

Alandia, the enchanting fairy with the dark soul, once again felt a deep longing within herself to be completely with herself, and to sink into the depths of her imagination.
So at 5:00 p.m. sharp, she sprayed on her darkest green fairy dress, and immediately sank into a wonderful aura of anise and wormwood and alcohol. Thus wrapped in her green misty dress, she walked into the darkness, fearless and completely herself. She went into the dark woods that protectively enveloped her, deeper and deeper, until, animated by dark patchouli, moist and earthy, she was completely at home, and attained her release in the deep inhalation and exhalation of this liquid dream. She remained trapped in this dream much longer than 7:00 p.m., the traditional end of L'Heure Verte.

This Kilian aroused an immediate craving in me when it appeared on the Temptation list, also known here as "New and Noteworthy". The fragrance pyramid read like one of my pipe dreams. The deadly sins of "greed" and "gluttony" skillfully pushed aside, and here it was as soon as it was available.
And it didn't disappoint - rarely have I been so taken with a bold, unusual scent creation. The absinthe (I love absinthe and the ritual that goes with it) is actually really smellable here, and not a tired knock-off like some other attempts to capture that scent.
After the first alcohol-soaked wormwood fragrance cloud , anise and violet leaf follows. After about 20 min, the fragrance becomes warm-woody with pleasant earthy patchouli. Dark, extraordinary and unique.
It has an excellent longevity of up to 8 hours, the silage is pleasant and present. I perceive it as unisex, if you want to look at it more differentiated: unisex masculine. But to my sensation, he is insanely exciting on women, as perhaps more unexpected.
For me, a big hit and an enrichment of my collection.

....She said, 'There is no reason'
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later...

A whiter shade of pale- Procul Harum


This is the song that comes to my lips as a low hum when I wear this fragrance. A longing melody with thoughtful content. Whereas the fragrance is not pale for me, it is rather strong red, through roses and currants and pink pepper - it symbolizes for me the heat of longing, the sweetness of love. But that deep red is powderily dulled, by iris and a little freesia - the lily of the valley has only an extra's place. The hot, sweet red is softened, as if love were a past memory. But this memory manifests itself as a sweet indulgence, praline, vanilla and bitter almond remain - the patchouli testifies to the dark depth of this sensation. Presented passion and transfigured melancholy at the same time are what distinguish this fragrance for me. It is sweet, but it does not "squeak." It is a mature sweetness.
It's present and exudes a beautiful aura, and it lasts. At least 7-8 hours. Clothes wear a hint of it forever. And so he can certainly also be a nice wearing companion, on occasions where the above song (who still knows the then) gladly contributes to the background.
The Exquisite Temptation is very pleasant wahrnembar, I feel it incidentally not as a gourmand, despite the bitter almond, but as a fine potpourri of female seduction.

I finally got around to extensively testing this pistachio-toned cutie from Guerlain. The fragrance pyramid reads decadent like the Russian Tsar's court. Rough yet sweet as sin...
...She's old yet beautiful
I can't resist her
Powdered her old skin
Has rebuilt her breasts
She makes me horny, I suffer agony
She dances for me, I have to pay
She sleeps with me, but only for money
It's the most beautiful city in the world...
Moscow - Rammstein

Well Rau and loud as the quoted song is not this fragrance, however, some allusions are quite appropriate.
Wearing the fragrance reveals an extremely pleasing aroma pot. Sweet patisserie, slightly herbal aromas, all wonderfully interwoven and extravagant. One smells the "old" perfumery art of Guerlain, in a surprisingly new appearance. A truly beautiful fragrance that makes you want to wear it, to feel "elegant", but now for the but: the fragrance is very quiet, far removed from the noisy life of Moscow and its often exuberantly perfumed sophisticated women. You have to invest quite generously in this fragrance to keep it perceptible. In intensity, it is as quiet as a walk through lonely birch forests. A fleeting kiss of two lovers in the romantic expanses of the taiga. Nevertheless, this fragrance has enchanted me.
I see him rather in the feminine direction and he is in my opinion throughout the year a quiet but stylish companion.

Détour Noir found his way very accidentally to me, because he was just reduced on the manufacturer's site, and I liked the fragrance description very much. Only afterwards I found that he is actually rather a "men's fragrance" should be.
Well, the bottle is actually rather classic masculine -cut, sporty curves- but with the content I have to dispute him the gentlemen. Détour Noir is namely a great soft, fresh-spicy fragrance that radiates a certain unobtrusive warmth. Amber, sandalwood and the fresh spiciness of cypress and cedar are present right from the start and are great underpinned by almond, tiny bit of vanilla and musk. These three spices make the scent spicy - soft and not too "sporty-masculine". It is clearly perceptible, but subtle. It lasts about 6-7 hours on me, but towards the end it's rather skin deep. For me personally, a "spice fragrance" that I can wear in the summer, because it also brings a certain freshness. The mentioned citrus I smell personally but not at all. After lemon, orange and Co. smells here nothing for me. At most, one could assume that a slight sweet pineapple note flows in. Overall, a really nice fragrance for me, for little money.
