The "take me" probably refers to my first thought after spraying. The little devil on my shoulder whispers directly into my ear. The smell might as well be "buy me!" But that would probably be too cheap, with such an innocent scent.
Have-will!!!

My bottle of Noble Potion comes from Verona.
One sunny day before, Venice had enchanted me. A craftsman had turned back when leaving and locking his workshop and pulled me in when I looked at his shop windows. A traditional glass workshop, a really old musty store as you would imagine. He repaired chandeliers and had some wonderful drinking glasses there for me to touch. He talked about the family business. Masterful craftsmanship. Mouth blown glass feels velvety, almost plastic, pliable. Blissful second October in Venice, sun, green blue, terracotta and Aperol Spritz for 4 euros 50.
The next day, strolling through Verona, I happened to see the Merchant of Venice store. Whooping, I ran away from my companion and rushed into the store. A really polite and friendly salesman gave me excellent advice. I smelled my way through the assortment, Fenice, Arabesque, Red Potion and Asian Inspirations. I was delighted, a great store, beautiful stories, chandeliers, finest glass vases everywhere. A jewel.

Finally I decided on Noble Potion, probably the tamest fragrance of all. I like wood, so I can't go far wrong. With erotic the physicality underlining undertone, as the seller told me. I got half the assortment of samples, all packed in a beautiful bag, and blissfully left the store.

Since last year I have Italy longing!
The store alone is worth a trip. Gigantic!

Ps: Noble Potion is woody, very woody, gentle, with perceptible Schwitziger note at the beginning, which is probably described here as cumin. Rather unobtrusive and not sweet. Pretty suitable for everyday use I would say.

Confetto I loved hot and dearly, used more than half a bottle, received compliments and yet meanwhile a bitterness that doesn't want to disappear bothers me. Maybe it will pass because my nose is spinning at the moment? But unfortunately I have to lower the rating... Nose tickles, eyes get wet...

08:20 Tame tuberose
08:35 Fresh breeze
Yang yang is difficult to decipher, despite the essential oil in the cupboard. Perhaps it melts together with the other fragrance components? I think I can smell it
08:40 Not bad, but not mine either, the tuberose is a bit annoying - wait and still leave it on your arm?
08:41 Wait
08:48 Ah, the tuberose is gone
09:01 Whaaaaas, Confetto?!?! ...dumdidumdidum... Spraying confetto, clear family resemblance. (Almond & Aniseed)
9:20 there was another one... Jo Malone, Vanilla & Anise... Pffft, pffft... different, but related. Even wins in direct comparison Vanilla & Anise

There she is again, the paper iris - I smell almost nothing, spray the strip again properly. I wonder whether Iris feels lonely without her violet; or without at least having something tasty, appetising sweet to snack with her, against boredom. Keyword compensation.
The test strip then lies overnight in the car and the next day it smells when getting in, it has developed a wonderful iris scent, warm, sweet and soft. Candidate to buy.
