Hiss, the first thing I smell is Almdudler. Not the one you can buy now, which is pure synthetic, no, the "old" one in the glass bottle, which smelled of herbal alpine meadows and tasted sweet and fresh and herbal. That's what Valldemosa smells like to me.

At least at the beginning, later the fragrance unfortunately becomes rather banal and dull. I am very disappointed, this is now the third fragrance that has left me baffled.

I thought the fragrances would be a revelation. I must have expected too much. Or maybe I just ordered the wrong perfumes.
But I thought I liked all the beautiful scents and that the compositions would certainly go together perfectly, but perhaps I'm not yet ready for this kind of olfactory treasure.

We'll see if I continue, but I think I'll leave it for now and turn to the bottles I already have. (there are too many anyway!)

"Wonn de koan Oimdudla hom, geh i wieda ham!"

Boston - the largest city in New England. - So that's what it's supposed to smell like there?

Well, it almost had me now, because the start is nice, has a really green freshness thanks to petitgrain, but then comes this nasty note again, which I would like to attribute to a spice, but I can't name it. I've smelled it several times and it's always choked me up, what could it be? It was also in the Remix Cologne Edition 2018, the orange one, and although the fragrance notes don't foreshadow anything bad, it's still there.

The end of the story, I had to wash it off quickly, I couldn't stand it for five minutes. It really is a shame.

However, my confidant told me that it smells quite good, so I'll go on to him.

As the Lehmann fragrances have been highly praised here and the store and online store are open again, I was delighted to order some bottlings for testing. No sooner said than done and here they are. :-)
I will therefore test them one by one and also describe them, I am already very excited.

So first up is HYAZINTHE, a spring bloomer that is predominantly blue.
I love this flower very much and have several fragrances that contain it.
However, I was deceived, there is no hyacinth listed here, but it still smells like it, it is slightly sweet and slightly "fresh", if there is such a thing.

Neroli was very present at the beginning, almost pungent, but then the other fragrance notes gradually came in, the beautiful orange blossom and also discreetly the iris, musk is also there, it almost has something slightly chypre-like in the course - but only very briefly, because there is always such a bitter almond note, but it ends elegantly and doesn't bother me at all

Yes, it's a good fragrance, I like it more and more after testing it several times.

There are many magnolia trees in our area that set wonderful accents with their large white-purple flowers when spring is still a little hesitant and not much is in bloom. This is because they are usually the first to put out their beautiful flowers when other "flowering trees" are still asleep.

I wasn't aware that they exude such a captivating scent as in the perfume "RUMEUR"; in fact, I don't think they smell at all. But it could also be that the car exhaust fumes have already destroyed the scents before they can reach the human nose, because most of the trees are by the roadside, at least here in the region.

But RUMEUR has more to offer, not just magnolia, but also beguiling jasmine, fragrant roses and the lovely lily of the valley, all of which combine to create an almost archaic fragrance that really seems (to me) to come from earlier times.

However, the fragrance is by no means just floral, that is just the first impression, it develops into a slightly tart, slightly mysterious and slightly powdery final note thanks to the musk. It clearly leaves a trail that you want to follow. (That's how my niece put it) and I agree with her.

It has a wonderful sillage and really lasts a long time, even on me, and that's saying something.

At first it's a total "flower overload", but then the fragrant blossoms really unfold and the woody notes also blend in and combine really skillfully with the flowers, for me it even becomes a little ethereal.

The soft, fine musk blanket skillfully covers the floral-woody mixture and makes the fragrance cuddly and clearly an everyday companion that fits everywhere.

I didn't realize it was over 20 years old, I thought it was younger. But it's a good thing I didn't know it back then, I certainly wouldn't have bought it (back then), I had more masculine fragrances.
But, as they say, you get older and maybe a little wiser, now I like these very feminine fragrances and this one is good to wear at Easter. It makes you cheerful and in a good mood, what more could you want?

I wish you all a happy Easter with lots of colorful eggs and friendly rays of sunshine.
