Milk and toast and honey....
To bring a little lovin' honey
To take away the hurt inside
Is everything that matters to me
Is everything I want in life


This is virtually THE song by Roxette, which permanently haunts my head when wearing the fragrance.
Bee is for me the olfactory embodiment of creamy canola blossom honey, which mixes with the butter when spread on warm toast...for me a beautiful feel-good scent, which with its soft, warm gourmand note, makes every day a good day.
Bee starts with the honey-on-warm-toast-with-butter note that instantly puts me in a relaxed "hachistdasschön" mood. After 10 minutes, some spice is added by cinnamon and sandalwood, all very soft and fluffy-sweet. After 3 hours, the honey note settles and it remains a warm-sweet sandalwood vanilla scent, which only slightly hints at the honey toast.
The fragrance remains a total of up to 8 hours well present, on clothes always remains a touch until washing. The silage is nicely present without being intrusive, for such a sweet fragrance.
I think the scent is made more for females, and for me this scent would even be wearable year round, as the honey is not so squeaky sweet due to the sandalwood and cereal undertones.
I confess to being an absolute honey lover in fragrances. Also sweetness and density lie me very much, and thus this new fragrance is already a small dream for me. Especially because it represents for me a honey scent as wearable all year round. Furthermore, this fragrance is already something fancy, and you will not get him everywhere to smell, or already have umpteen similar in his collection.

Conclusion: A very nice new discovery for me, of which I will get me pretty sure the big bottle.

Take 2 - or even 3 - 10....
Today once an assessment of a brand new fragrance. There are 4 fragrances in this new series, and I have decided on a trip to the Savane.
I have chosen it specifically because of the promised fragrance pyramid with carrot seeds, iris and sandalwood, because I always find carrot seeds extremely pleasant in perfumes, and iris and sandalwood with me also always find an open ear.
So now to the test, which I saved for the first warmer days of late, since this is probably a summer fragrance, because Savannah = experience rather hotter...
Sprayed on and - Mmmmhhhh, who has opened here the Nimm2 bag? Nimm2 were the Gutis of my childhood, which I always got from my grandpa (of course always a yellow and an orange), so I know the scent so well.
This perfume starts with the special taste of the yellow Nimm2, so rather lemony. The citrus is softened with light iris powder. Within the next 30 minutes, the fragrance evolves with the help of carrot seeds to the orange Nimm2. It's now orangy-soft, with minimal sandal undertones. And then there is no further scent development. It remains a light, soft orange candy.
Now to the big shortcoming of the fragrance - the drop is sucked insanely fast here. Meaning, on top of its lightness, it has about the shelf life it takes two Gutis to suck on.... well, maybe not quite that short, but more than 4 hours, and relatively skin deep, is not in it for me. Even a few more sprays on hair and clothes do not persuade him to stay.
Maybe my olfactory sensation is somewhat oversaturated by all the heavy, sweet winter fragrances, but I can perceive the scent just very light and only very briefly, really intense.
The smell is summery-vibrant-natural - so really nice - but more than the duration of a chill summer evening he does not survive. For the whole day, he needs at least 3 times to put on, and even relatively generous.
In my opinion, Savane di Seta is unisex , and something for warm days.

Personal conclusion: A beautiful fragrance for me, however, I'm not sure if the estimated price (not magateuer but already lifted) for this short fragrance experience is justified.

The moon has risen, the golden stars are shining...
So now in front of me is the most expensive bottle of perfume that I own so far. About a wonderful sharing I came to 130ml of this wonderful extrait of the blue hour. I regret nothing, but this bottle (rather, the price) will forever remain my secret - just as all the things that can happen in the blue hour so now and then, sometimes remain a mystery.

The fragrance is a dream scent. It starts with floral peasant carnation and sweet violet and spicy anise. But they are fragrant at dusk, after a hot day, when the damp vapors rise from the ground. This beautiful fragrance is then immediately enveloped, or softened, by the powdery iris, as it were, in gentle rising mists. There is almost no light now, the full moon rises and the balsamic night bloomers exude their enticing scents. Here vanilla and tonka take over this part, and give the night its beguiling softness. And this night, lasts long, and is infinitely beautiful, gentle and yet so strong.
Silage and longevity are superbly balanced. I can feast on the blue hour for a whole day - and that with 3 dabs or small sprays.
For me, this masterpiece is a feminine fragrance, very complex but as gentle as the melody of "The moon has risen..."
I would classify it as wearable all year round - stylish and special at all times.
A dream fragrance or even a fragrance to dream.

Baroque pleasure garden
Today I would like to describe a fragrance that is already alone because of its lush and varied fragrance notes, actually difficult to put into words.

As an image to this fragrance, the French royal court at the time of the Sun King comes to mind. Lush, sweet, decadent and lustful. I see elegant court ladies, in coquettish clothes, who sit in a generously laid out pleasure garden, on the swings so popular at the time, and let themselves be pushed by greedy gallants, who thereby catch a glimpse now and then under the wide, bobbing hoop skirts. I see lush carpets of violets and scented roses blooming in full glory, next to imaginatively arranged clumps of conifers. And I see little petit fours, decorated with thick icing and candied violets, served by servants for the afternoon to keep the court company happy. And in my imagination, some of those ladies might have been wearing such a fragrance (I'm blanking out the other unedifying body odors of the time to be covered up - I can vividly imagine them...)

Now to the fragrance:
The starts powerfully sweet with candied violet, rose scent and the very special scent of freshly stirred thick powdered sugar icing. So that it is not quite so boring, comes a hearty charge of pink pepper added -purpose of wickedness ;)

Relatively quickly, there is still a fruity hint, which in my opinion most reminiscent of wild berries. And, something remarkable - it comes an aromatic coniferous smell - which makes the whole now already somewhat unusual and charming. The fragrance remains, however, mainly carried by sweet aromas.

The base notes of musk and vanilla (just a touch of softness) round off the whole now, and embed the Aromenüppigkeit.

The fragrance has quite a decent silage and holds out 8 hours. He accompanies me with its baroque fullness and lavish sweetness. To this I have not always mood, but now and then something like that is very nice - just because I have not smelled it soo often in this constellation.

The brand was a chance find. The comes from Italy, and I almost assume, it produces fragrances that are also available in "expensive" in a similar form. This one, belongs rather to the cheaper fragrances, but the quality has me so convinced that I got me a second fragrance of this manufacturer.

The flacon is now not the Highligt, and seems cheap, but endeavors - and he really does what he should.

The fragrance I see more on women than on men - and that at temperatures up to 15 degrees, as he already brings a certain sweet, heaviness.

Who likes sweet and lush - you can really test, because he has incorporated unusual flavors.

The Fabulous World of Favea :)
Le Fabuleux definitely sounds like a promise and a hefty dose of confidence.
But this, seemingly somewhat unknown, fragrance keeps this promise and knows how to put damn skillfully in the scene and also spoiled noses to convince (so mine in any case)
The fragrance pyramid read so very interesting to me that I wanted to test it.
It opens with the gentle fruitiness of a black cherry (no, very different from the Lost Cherrys of this world), which is flanked by the tart sweet herbaceousness of angelica blossom and carrot seeds. A fair amount of perfectly interwoven blend of ambrette seed, orris root and incense (it's just swinging very ghostly in the background here) wrap this Autumn Sweet Cherry in a dry, soft-focus mist. (For me, at this time, it has slight hints of Baccarat Rouge, at least that medicinal-sweet touch.) Now the base players come in: tonkin musk and sandalwood lend soft creaminess to the dry sweetness, soft nappa leather caresses the senses and keeps them alert as it keeps the scent from seeming inconsequential. When it is fully developed on the skin after about 30 min, it stays for many hours in this aromatic fullness that is perfectly round and perfectly harmonized. To the end, which comes approximately after 9 hours, he becomes more and more herbaceous sweetness and gentle leather.
Le Fabuleux convinces me all along the line - so finely spun together fragrance components, all of which somehow have something special about them, and now still form a terrific team, I have rarely encountered.
A special fragrance with a lot of self-confidence.
I see in rather to women than to men, and wearable he is for me all year round and on any occasion - he will always positively notice. Silage and durability are to be located in the upper third.
I like him very much!
