Hyperreal

Wow great start with a bitter and fruity grapefruit and lemon. A beautifully refreshing start. Shortly afterwards, a pleasantly clean musk continues to emerge, softly rounding off the fresh, tart grapefruit. A little later, I perceive a great magnolia and cedarwood combination that continues to round off the grapefruit in a pleasantly soft and now slightly sweeter way. A great olfactory journey, unfortunately not long-lasting.

Floral notes are not really my cup of tea, simply because I prefer fruits and freshies. And I'm always skeptical of floral fragrances, because with many other compositions it can very quickly go in a very feminine and one-dimensional direction. But this perfume really surprised me.

The first few minutes are dominated by a fresh green and floral cocktail that still leaves me in doubt as to whether the floral note is too strong. But the perfume soon turns and convinces with its powdery side. Lilac, musk and jasmine, pure bliss. Really such a great composition. I really think of white lilac and magnolia blossoms, clean and elegant. A great, beautiful, fine and feminine perfume. I see it more as an everyday or daytime fragrance, I would classify it as too "clean" for the evening, but that's more my personal opinion. For me personally, it's still not something to wear, I just find it too feminine for me. But a very beautiful, harmonious and, in my opinion, not boring composition.

Wow, thanks for the other reviews that got me on the Nivea and baby oil trail. Since then I've only been smelling this :-) just smells good. Super pleasant and nice scent. I think it just smells clean and delicious like soap. Unfortunately, it doesn't last that long on me either. Overall, I think it smells better than Nivea, somehow more balanced and not so flat. I also notice a few sour notes that capture the sweetness well. Really nice composition, couldn't find anything bad about it except that it's perhaps a bit staid. But sometimes you might like that.

The fragrance starts with an incredibly intense citrusy freshness. After a few moments, however, a very fruity and deliciously perfumed orange blossom emerges. I feel like I've been transported to a blooming orange garden on a hot summer's day. The orange is sweet and juicy and powdery or creamy. Very, very delicious. I really can't resist this fragrance. Even though it may not be the most modern or complex overall, it brings back soooo many memories for me, of my grandma for example. She didn't use this perfume, but I probably remember her smelling like this. When I put the fragrance on, I have to smell it over and over again, I can't help it. I immediately feel comfortable and at ease. The more the composition develops, the more I perceive an "eau-de-Cologne/Cologne-water character", but in a very noble and warm way. Personally, I don't use the perfume on myself because I think it has a more grown-up or older feel to it. I also miss the rough edges that are important to me personally. But nevertheless, sometimes I feel like something simple and nice and soothing and then I spray it on. Like a little spa treatment for the soul. I immediately feel the sun's rays on my skin and dream of summer...

At the very beginning, within 30 seconds, the fragrance reminds me of the taste of Big Red chewing gum. However, this cinnamon note quickly fades and the balsamic ingredients quickly emerge. Lavender, patchouli and star anise form a really great harmony that also takes on a medicinal character for me in some moments. Sometimes the composition drifts into a kind of cold-bath situation for me, but in a positive way. Maybe the decorative cypress that I can't clearly distinguish from the other notes comes out and pushes the whole thing in a medicinal direction? But even if that sounds strange, it still smelled very good to me, especially balsamic. Unfortunately, I didn't find the longevity so convincing.
