Mojave Ghost Eau de Parfum is a beautiful fragrance that delighted me right from the start with its fruity-fresh, slightly floral character. It gives the impression of being freshly showered, but in an extremely luxurious and elegant way. The fragrance exudes a subtle lightness that is perfectly balanced.

I particularly like how finely tuned and harmonious the individual components of the perfume are. Each note blends seamlessly into the overall picture and gives the fragrance its harmonious, sophisticated aura. The progression is very linear for me.

I find the name "Ghost" absolutely fitting, because the fragrance envelops you like a gentle, invisible veil - almost like a ghost that is present at times and then disappears again.

One small drawback, however, is the longevity, which I, like many others here, find rather disappointing. In the first 2-3 hours, the fragrance is clearly perceptible and has a moderate sillage. After 4-5 hours, however, it becomes very close to the skin and only recognizable with a closer sniff. It lasts a little longer on clothing; after 8 hours it is still subtly perceptible, but only faintly. Especially for a perfume in this price range, the longevity could be better.

The fragrance is versatile and suitable for all seasons. It is unobtrusive and elegant and can therefore be worn both in everyday life and on special occasions. I can also imagine the fragrance on men very well, as it is absolutely unisex in my perception.

All in all, Mojave Ghost is a great everyday go-to for me. The fragrance combines lightness, elegance and a subtle sophistication that make it unique - even if I would like it to last a little longer. If you are looking for an unusual and tastefully composed fragrance, you should definitely give Mojave Ghost a try!

When I think of the hay harvest on our mountain farm, the smells and impressions that make up this special process immediately come to mind. It starts in summer, when the grass has grown tall and the field has turned into a sea of fresh green and flowers. The scent of blooming hay flowers and lush grass permeates the air as we prepare to harvest. Once the grass is cut and dries in the sun for a day or two, the smell changes - from fresh vibrancy to the warm, dry notes of hay. When the hay is finally dry enough to collect and store for the winter, the smell of dried summer flowers and hay fills the yard. This scent accompanies us all year round, even on cold winter days when the stored hay is fed to the animals in the barn.

Harvest Mouse captures exactly this smell, this change from lush green to dry, golden hay, in a wonderful way. It immediately reminds me of summer days on the farm, when we cut grass and the field slowly gave off the warm, earthy scent of hay. The fragrance begins with a calming top note. Chamomile and clove dominate the first impression, both gentle and spicy at the same time, while the freshness of bergamot shines through, reminiscent of the cool morning hours before the heat of the day heats up the field.

As the perfume develops on the skin, the warmth of the woody, hay-like notes emerges. It's like standing in the middle of a sun-dried field and inhaling deeply the scent of dried grass and flowers. Over time, the balsamic notes unfold, making the fragrance softer and rounder. These warm, sweet notes remind me of a hay sauna in the spa, where the heat brings out the aroma of the dried hay even more intensely.

I find the picture on the bottle of the mouse in a suit perfectly fitting for the scent. A small, hard-working mouse doing his business in the hay and meeting up with his fellow mice for a beer in the evening. Wonderfully apt.

Overall, I find the fragrance to be a sweet, spicy, warm composition that fits perfectly in the fall. But I can also imagine Harvest Mouse being a wonderful addition in summer - especially due to its association with the hay harvest. However, it still needs to be tested how it unfolds at high temperatures. For me, this fragrance tells a story of the countryside, of summer work and the peace that comes after the harvest - a perfume that really brings back memories. Beautifully made and realized. I am delighted with the last drop I was able to get hold of in the sharing.

Old Fashioned is a fragrance that tells completely different stories on paper and skin. Sprayed on paper, the fragrance initially conveys a strong alcoholic impression, reminiscent of the morning after a boisterous house party when you clear away the half-full drinks cups. The scent on paper is heavy, almost chaotic, and is reminiscent of the stale smell that lingers after a long night out or simply a fruit brandy. But this first impression is deceptive, because as soon as the fragrance touches the skin, it undergoes an unexpectedly beautiful transformation.

On the skin, Old Fashioned is a completely different experience - the strong alcohol that the fragrance brought to light on paper gives way and allows warm, inviting notes to emerge. While on paper it is still reminiscent of a dark and filthy wine cellar with wooden barrels to age in, on the skin it transforms into something much warmer and more festive. A fragrance unfolds that reminds me strongly of my grandfather's carving room, where he carved all kinds of nativity figures. When I enter the parlor, I notice a very woody smell with lots of Swiss stone pine and oak, plus a few dried fruits to snack on at the workbench. There is something nostalgic, almost homely about this warm fruitiness, which immediately radiates familiarity for me.

In addition to the wood, the styrax is also very present for me and gives the fragrance a pleasant depth and also gives it that Christmassy touch for me. This is joined by the resinousness of tolu balsam. These woody, resinous notes are perfectly supported on the skin by a sweet, dried plum that lends the whole a subtle, fruity sweetness. This balance is what makes the fragrance so special and ensures that it feels both warm and enveloping.

Definitely don't let the paper sample fool you (as always)!
On the skin, the true complexity of Old Fashioned unfolds. It is a fragrance that develops wonderfully and reveals all its facets on the skin. Have fun entering my grandpa's carving room :-)

To be honest, I couldn't understand the hype surrounding Delina Eau de Parfum at first. I tested the fragrance several times in the perfumery, but it just didn't "click". Despite my skepticism, I ordered a souk after countless attempts. It remained untouched for weeks until one day it fell into my hands among all my bottlings. I applied it for work.

I'd barely walked two meters when I got my first compliment! So that's really true, I thought to myself ;-)
I wouldn't describe myself as a particularly feminine woman (probably also the reason why I didn't like it at first) but this fragrance - it is simply the embodiment of pure femininity. A delicate, fruity-floral cloud that lasts all day and is incredibly pleasant. Not too overpowering, but light and fresh, a real Mausi fragrance, so to speak.

After a whole day with Delina on my skin, I totally understand the hype! It's an incredibly beautiful fragrance, perfect for any woman who wants to feel feminine, well-groomed and clean. I find it pleasantly subtle, especially in the office, but the fragrance definitely works its true magic on dates, I'm sure - irresistible and seductive. A fragrance that will wrap the other person around your finger

To be honest, I would never have given the fragrance a chance because of its name. Floral fragrances are simply not my thing, and the name suggested exactly that. But in a well-stocked perfumery, my curiosity got the better of me and as I had already read about it, I grabbed it and took a whiff. It was love at first sniff.

My beloved woody notes immediately appear on my skin. Cinnamon dominates from the start, accompanied by a beautiful nutmeg note. Over time, it develops on the skin into a warm mix of tobacco and vanilla, gently underlined by the woody nuances that recede into the background - perfect for cool autumn days. On my clothes, however, the fragrance remains in the full splendor it shows at the beginning without changing much. Longevity is also remarkably good on me.

Although it is sweet and warm, it is by no means overpowering. I can well imagine that this fragrance also works excellently on men.

I also find the fragrance very similar to the "Raghba | Lattafa / لطافة" only without the incense, which makes Bouquet Ideale seem less oriental. If you like Raghba, you will also love Bouquet Ideale - it is definitely an alternative if you want to save money

In short: a wonderful fall fragrance that surprised and delighted me all along the line! Don't be confused by the name.
