Guerlinchen

You're a piece of history to me. And because you are to me, I bought you blind. I just had to get to know you. And yes, you were going to be a part of my collection too! After you finally arrived, I waited patiently.
For the sun to sink into the horizon and for that brief moment when the firmament clothed itself in a breathtaking, half-glowing, half-dark blue light. That brief time between reality and dream.
There, where the noise of the day still hangs in the air but it already enters into a gentle embrace with the carefully knocking, quiet night. So, like two lovers who will soon sink into a heartfelt kiss and then melt into each other.
I waited for the blue hour. I wanted to experience you in that very moment that your creator was trying to capture. There I too was going to try to meet you, understand you, and maybe even learn to love you.
I was very lucky, just that day it was particularly beautiful and almost purple in parts. So I carefully and respectfully opened your protective cover and then held a beautiful bottle in my hand. Already when I lifted off your lid, I perceived you. That smells expensive and noble, that were my first thoughts. After the first spray, I was briefly at a loss for words. For me it felt like a little time travel. I really felt that you came from another era. I was in awe. For you, for your skill, and especially for your creator. Initially, I perceive anise and the slight freshness of bergamot. I briefly have an association that goes in the direction of Chanel Nº5, without knowing exactly why. In my mind's eye I see nobly dressed ladies from times long past. Then you become for me briefly exhausting, I suppose it is the clove that challenges my nose there. When this has said goodbye, you let me share in your powdery, still rich essence. Yes you are heavy, downright bulky but only to take me into the multi-faceted world of your being. You put me in turmoil but only to later be able to hold me gently yet with strong arms against you. You are history to me, transported to the here and now. You have survived two world wars and yet now lie proud, dignified and safe in my hands. Melancholy I personally do not feel - only said awe and also wonder. Your heart is a pit of murder, yes. You are not easy for me to see through, you have to be discovered. Again and again. Even if I don't wear you on my skin very often - I am happy and proud to know you and to have you in my collection. You are in your own and very special way a masterpiece and certainly not only at the blue hour.

Fragrance: very special, strong, noble, proud, spicy, challenging, rich, powdery, deep and multi-faceted.

Sillage: room filling, I really like the scent when it hangs around the room after spraying.

Durability: Very good.

Flacon: Just like its contents a piece of valuable (Guerlain) history.

Price: Reasonable.

After a reasonable testing period, I would now like to try to put my impressions of Black Orchid into words here. Yes, I ordered it blind...Bold, I know. It was with great respect that the first spray landed on my skin. Oh yes but I was a little afraid that the so often described musty vipe in the scent would knock me out - but no, it was immediately all magical on me! Luck oh luck! I didn't really need the long testing period, I liked it straight away but I always find it more respectful to really get to know a fragrance before writing about it. On me, I quickly pick up something cinnamony (although it doesn't say so in the pyramid). It is very warm and densely woven, has a lot of depth.It melts into my skin very quickly. I smell the orchid out.It stays like that with me for quite a while. Later in the drydown, vanilla and sandalwood come through delicately and that's what stays with me for hours. The absolute madness is it however in my hair - there I could smell it still 2 days clearly! What remains there is again this cinnamon with a touch of vanilla and maybe very slightly orchid and super soft incense. So I perceive it at least.At the very beginning I thought - but, it's more for men but since it blends so well with me, has this depth and is really something special, I wear it definitely! Why?! Because I can - and I want to. My first thought was - smells expensive, special, deep, wicked, not mainstream! Ui, there you need as a woman but eggs (sorry!) to rock this...Definitely red lipstick and something nice, black to wear -Yes, I can!
One time a friend of mine "secretly" took a sprayer. It was in the living room and I was standing in the kitchen yelling -Ey, don't use my Tom Ford, you thief! In other words - it's more than room filling. Said friend, by the way, is also quite enchanted and will be getting it soon.
I'm very glad that I was here by a dear person once again really "angefixt", which led to me the final impulse to buy this mysterious beauty, in its deep black and valuable noble flacon.
I look forward to more, beautiful and exciting moments and experiences with this special treasure.
May he carry me on his dark wings away(d)...

Scent: As described, special, deep, warm, dense, sexy, intense.

Sillage: room filling, not too much application would be better.

Longevity: Above average, especially in hair and on clothing.

Flacon: Look at it - classy, valuable, beautiful - great feel.

Price: for what it is, completely in order- who spies an offer so much the better.

This wonderful beauty, the dream of a fragrance was presented to me a few years ago in a noble perfumery. I stood once again with wide eyes and admiring looks in front of the original Shalimar bottle, quasi the mother of Parfum Initial. This bottle has always attracted me magically, but I had not yet melted into the precious contents at that time. I said this to the saleswoman and she said - yes, I think you are a bit too young for that...but wait a minute! Her hand reached past my face and pulled another treasure out of its hiding place. Why don't you try this one? Said, sprayed. There I was, my wrist close to my nose... and I was speechless! Like a very delicate and precious object, I carefully took the bottle from her hand and that sealed it. I was in love with it! This bottle! This fragrance! With me first very briefly fresh, the bergamot is to be perceived. Then it immediately becomes warm and powdery, I feel him directly as full-bodied he has a huge sound body for me.He melts into my skin and is from then on unstoppable. It becomes extremely feminine,sensual,sexy. Oh Yes...A multi-faceted, tightly woven piece of happiness. It came as it could only come, I bought him and gave him a home. Or was it something else?! Did it give me a home?! In any case, this fragrance has found me and not I him, just as it must be when magic is involved.He quickly became my signature.Once I had left after a party only the belt of my cardigan at a friend and he knew immediately - it was mine.On my puzzled question of how he knew that, he said - it smells like you. Exactly. I was happy for a long time and I was happy until that terrible day when I wanted to buy a bigger bottle and I had to hear the words that no one, really no one, who had lost his heart wants to hear. D I S C O N T I N U E D! Shock paralysis! What?! It wasn't so long ago that we found each other. How could that be?! I couldn't and wouldn't believe it. I sat at home and couldn't understand how such a fragrance, such a masterpiece could be so quickly discarded! How heartless. And yes exactly - I was heartless.... You can only understand this storm of emotions if you have experienced something similar. Everyone else says - it's just a perfume! Similar to when an intimate love passes and you hang in deep mourning and missing and you hear from people - other mothers have beautiful sons too. Thank you, but that doesn't help! It was something very special, unique, an encounter, even a connection - it matched. Something like that can't simply be exchanged, or even sprayed over. It is what it is - a drama! To find something special is madness. A great happiness. To let it go, even though it was not yet fully lived, is cruel. To miss something fiercely, knowing that you will never have it again is painful. Sometimes so much so that it weighs heavily on your chest to take your breath away. But as I'm sure we're all aware, that's part of life. I am left with only one comfort - knowing that you have to let go in order to free your hands to receive something new in them again. AND the fact that I was able to buy another large bottle at auction on ebay, so I can still live off it.

Scent: For me a dream, warm, powdery, rich ,noble, feminine, sensual, sexy -toll!

Sillage: Well perceived but not intrusive, if he becomes close to the body, he has even more sex appeal.

Durability: On the skin well, on the hair and clothes very well (clearly still days later to smell).

Flacon: I can not more! So beautiful, classy, feminine and special in my eyes.

Price: Was once reasonable - if today still to find, please have tissues ready (sniff).

More I can not say, I simply lack the words --- WHY?! Guerlain , WHY!

This fragrance is on my skin like a beautiful chameleon. I have really great luck that my skin harmonizes so great with the Guerlaindüften. It would be a very big loss for me if it were not so. Unlike many, I liked Mon Guerlain right away. When I read the comments after the launch and it went more in the direction of "Nah, it's not that great", I was quite confused and even sad.I felt quite differently and proudly wore it even in the summer on me.For me, it is a firecracker - not one that stands out by annoying volume, rather by its totally beautiful and wonderfully coordinated play of colors, ie fireworks. In honor of this creation I am now really glad that many have discovered in the same way and find wonderful! Not's else he has earned.

He starts with me very briefly fresh, lavenderig and then immediately warm and also quite quickly vanillig. As already mentioned, he is with me a kind of chameleon - depending on how I'm doing, he changes.At first I thought I was imagining it but no, it is with me actually so. Skin chemistry paired with the art from the house of Guerlain...how can you not love it!!! I also get a lot of compliments when I wear it (mostly from the masculine side) - I think it's just my scent. It fits. And what it does on my skin is amazing. In my hair it is still clearly noticeable the next day.
Is it sexy?! Yes, but as I said not loud, rather sensual and with style and depth.
In this way, which works both in the little black as well as in a cozy wool sweater.

Merci, mon chéri.

Fragrance: as described with me a skin chemistry miracle, a dream. Please also absolutely test on the skin, paper is not honest to me in this case.

Sillage: Good, not too room-filling but if you "streaks" someone clearly perceivable.

Flacon: art,art,art .

Durability: with me well (winter and summer different).

Price: Meanwhile good and he is more than worth it, I think.

All the best in discovering this beauty!

Oops I see here that this fragrance has only one comment...It doesn't deserve that in my opinion. So, then I will times:
It is the 1st Jil Sander, which has found a home in my collection.I had tested him sometime and somewhere once on a small card and then he disappeared in my handbag.Since all women's bags seem to have a false bottom, he was fished out again only after some time and - sniff, sniff - not so bad. To the purchase impulse it was not immediately enough but I could not forget him. With a good offer I have then struck (before the "evil forces of darkness", speak the manufacturer him again the market snatch...) Yes, from painful experiences one learns halt ;-).
When first spraying it has for me a few seconds a similarity with L'Instant Magic by Guerlain.But he then quickly goes its own way - I take clearly cocoa was.He is wonderfully powdery and the pink color of the bottle fits totally.Manderine however remains completely hidden from me. With me he makes no further scent progression through so "Simply" fits here also very well.
I personally spray before bathing my bathrobe and hang it over the heater - so I receive after the beautiful wet a cozy, warming and comforting fragrance. Simply beautiful.

Fragrance: as described above, warming, powdery not too sweet cuddle and comforter fragrance.

Durability: definitely better than the predecessor of the Intense version.

Sillage: rather not so strong but it" fits" so to the fragrance I find.

Flacon: also fits well to the fragrance .

Price: if you wait for an offer perfectly fine, normalpreisig I find him a little too expensive.
