Since 2018, Fleurs de l'Himalaya has been my very favorite everyday scent.
I get many compliments in the office for the fragrance, because it stands out, but is not intrusive. It is not so prominent that the fragrance fills an entire room when worn and would therefore be unpleasant.
For me, the combination of floral notes, the freshness of the lemon and the spice is perfectly balanced. The teen note makes it special to me and not as interchangeable as other fragrances in my collection.
From my personal experience, I think a lot of people like the scent and it has the potential to be smelled on every corner. I'm also sure it looks good on a lot of women. I don't actually like the idea, but in this case it doesn't really bother me.
I'm very much into the flacon design of the Rituals range. It tends to be on the plainer side, but it's not boring in my eyes.
In addition, however, this is something personal, that I like as a born Indian the complete concept of Rituals well with this wellness / yoga / Ayurveda theme, which plays an important role in South Asian countries.
If I were to recommend a perfume, it would definitely be this one.

I got this fragrance for Christmas.
The bottle of R.E.M. (short for "Rapid Eye Movement") is the absolute eye-catcher with the crystal design (the crystal frame is made of plastic, but still does not look cheap) and makes itself well on my perfume table.
I did not know the fragrances of Ariana Grande so far, I'm not a huge fan now, but I expected something extremely girliehaftes here.
At the first spraying I was disabused, because the fragrance is strong, with almost unisex character. Lavender stands out a lot and so does the sweet marshmallow scent. Less cheesy, the combination is made by something woody and spicy, which has surprised me positively.
The scent stays with me very long on the skin, even until the next day is the clearly perceived. At me he smells after longer wear still sweet and quite spicy, especially the tonka bean comes out well.
The character of the perfume I would describe as romantic, cozy and mysterious - perfect for an evening for two.
I find that the fragrance is something special and not at all sticky-sweet like so many other celebrity fragrances.
R.E.M. represents for me a completely new fragrance experience - It was love at first smell.

Great, sweet-tart Gourmand treasure, which remains with me very long on the skin. Only the Jungle theme does not open up to me personally so really, but good - artistic / marketing freedom of the brand, so let me be right. :)
The Bench flacons do not blow me away now, but overall this eau de toilette is a super find from the drugstore.
