For my salvation
Sometimes, when I'm doing my little run around, I ponder my thoughts and also think about why I always want to have new perfumes, even though - God knows - I've already collected and had enough.
Is it because I want to compensate for something I'm missing?
Does my soul need these warm, spicy, tangy-floral, grassy-green, woody, aromatic, vanilla-accented, oriental-scented, summery-herbaceous, lemony, resinous-earthy, powdery-sweet, animalic-chypry, fruity-fresh fragrances that multiply in my various places in various rooms like dear little rabbits?
Could be, because once again I've got hold of a great little treasure that snuggles up to me in an oriental warmth (today is THE day for it, cold and windy, partly rainy), so you need something cuddly like CRÉATURE.
A spicy oriental, minimally floral, but not overtly so. You can also smell some civet, but also only minimally, what you can smell very well are the spices. I'm guessing cloves, cinnamon, a little incense and vanilla.
We once had a teacher who always smelled a bit like "Christmas". She might have worn a scent like this. You could smell it when she walked down the corridors at break, with quick, brisk steps. But I'm not sure. The thought came to me as I was jogging along and answered the question myself: "YES, I want these perfumes, I need them for my peace of mind"! - Now do something about it

A quiet pedal
The descriptions that can be found here are much more meaningful and very accurate, at least much better than I could ever describe.
And yet I would like to present my impressions, if I may:
another beautiful Fendi fragrance, which is not a chypre, but rather fruity-sweet-floral. It's always amazing to me how well such "old" fragrances hold up, it's still very much intact.
Right at the beginning, you can smell a fine load of peach scent (or is it apricots?), which quickly transitions into the heart note, which I also like very much.
There are a few spices (I notice the cinnamon discreetly) and flowers that I can't separate, but they are blended beautifully and softly into a fragrant whole. Everything is gradually transformed into a fine "vanilla wood" with which the perfume finds its finale.
I can vaguely remember that I used to have this fragrance; it's very fruity for my taste, but nice and warm and fruity.
I can well imagine the fragrance when fall turns into winter. At the moment, I'm looking forward to the spring/summer fragrances.
But I am very happy that I bought a small bottle. My thanks go to Alligdz, who took great care of this fragrance and handled it with care.

Elegant gentleman fragrance
Aramis 900 is one of the most characterful fragrances from the line that has stayed with me to this day.
I don't even want to talk about the longevity, nor about the vintage fragrance, which was much better anyway (as always!) but I could only understand it now - with increased perfume understanding and knowledge.
The woody notes and the floral notes complement each other perfectly and harmonize with each other, combine to form an aromatic whole, have a certain flair that is no longer so common in so-called modern men's fragrances. It is not a heavy fragrance, has a fougere 80s, very pleasant veil fragrance personality that is beguiling.
My bottle is from 2020 and only now are the flowers really coming out, I never smelled them before. Garden carnation and rose predominate here, are used discreetly and rather complement the initial green tone. The florals don't last long, replaced at the end by a mossy-patcoulsy presence and everything ends on a soft, spicy, woody-earthy note.
A very pleasant fragrance and, as I have just noticed, probably already discontinued. In any case, it costs twice as much as it did back then. What a pity!

Attractant - GREEN
And again and again, the green in the scents lures me in.
Some time ago I got a bottle of GRASS and I was hooked.
Such a beautiful grassy green, wild floral scent, paired with musk to give off a gentle freshness, it's just right up my alley.
Now a very dear perfumer has told me that there is a bottle available to buy online, from someone in Austria at a more than fair price.
A huge bottle arrived today, still half full, and what can I say: this is a green-fresh, uncomplicated fragrance whose woody notes have a freshness, paired with the little lilies of the valley, which never push themselves into the foreground, but remain nicely in the second row, so that the green wildflowers I smell clearly set the tone.
Gosh, it lasts a long time, at least on my skin I can still smell it after 5 hours.
It's a real pleasure that I now own the fragrance in larger quantities and if anyone ever gets lost in my collection and wants some, go ahead, it doesn't cost anything to ask and I'm happy to give some away.
Best regards to all the fragrance maniacs out there

ORIENTATION THEN AND NOW
When I was about 20, I tended to wear so-called "men's fragrances", such as Aramis, Trussardi, Polo, Puig etc.. Firstly, they weren't sweet, so not at all, and secondly, they were much cheaper than so-called "women's fragrances".
Therefore, OPIUM was unacceptable to me and was disregarded. Especially the girlies who wore it smelled strange, it was too opulent, too oriental, too deliberately ladylike and usually too overloaded, because you had a lot of it and very often an overdose in your nose.
It may well be that my sense of scent was more sensitive back then than it is today, but I simply didn't like the fragrance.
BUT THAT HAS CHANGED A LOT.
Wonderful myrrh immediately stands out, which means stands out, it appears almost majestic, followed by spices that are so finely tuned and soft that you can't get enough of them. But then it continues with patchouli, (only subtle) sandalwood, cedar and vanilla. Actually, I only smell the base note, everything else is somehow lost, I don't notice the flowers in the foreground, but it doesn't matter, because a true fragrance wonder is glowing here and I am thrilled that I was able to get hold of a vintage mini of perfect goodness and harmony.
