A gentle Oriental for people who have little to do with Orientals....
First of all, I've never been a big fan of heavy, sweet, oriental scents, they often take my breath away, they sometimes even give me a headache, they often lack the lightness and tartness that I personally love in fragrances. They push themselves to the forefront and scream "oops here I come" so loudly - it's not for me. I like it herbaceous, spicy, tart, also like it citrusy....but most of all light hearted and unconventional. And I hate the cold, dark season and most orientals are located in autumn/winter for me because they usually just turn out too heavy for 30 degrees and more in the shade. So and now comes the big BUT.....since the winter in this country is already disgusting and much too long, you have to treat yourself to something scented and that's what I did spontaneously these days. Angel Schlesser is a Spanish label that I like and I thought to myself, you can't do much wrong there. The ingredients made for an exciting read and I noticed that no one mentioned "sweet" here in the reviews and that's a good thing since I don't like sweet in general, not just in fragrances. In a nutshell, I treated myself to it blindly because I was hoping it would make January a little nicer for me......if the sun and warmth are already missing. then at least I want to smell something on my skin that makes me want "more". It arrived, I immediately tried it and what can I say: awesome awesome! Sorry, for the foul language, but that's exactly what popped into my head. It's fruity and spicy on the first spray, soft and subtle, I smell my beloved bergamot, lots of rose and a hint of violet.....es caresses my olfactory bulb in a very discreet and noble way.The longer I sniff my wrist, the spicier and grippier the scent becomes, it gets more character and steadfastness, but without becoming intrusive. It's not heavy and not oppressive, which is what I usually feel with many orientals, it sails along ..... lightly yet confidently with a lot of character, grace and verve. I notice the clove and saffron, a wonderfully fine combination that has it all. I see involuntarily a self-confident career woman in front of me in a chic black, very noble pantsuit with a white high-necked blouse to it, she has style and this fragrance underlines that in a very elegant way. The sillage is adequate and pleasant. This fragrance has incredible grandeur, but it also flatters the wearer and gives her that certain something of elegance. In the meantime, I can hardly keep my nose off my skin, that's how ingenious I find this little fragrance from Spain. It takes quite a while until patchouli, musk and amber round off the whole very soft and pleasing, it always remains a hint of tart floral, but never little-girlish but with a lot of style. It also somehow invites you to cuddle up on the couch, because it radiates something sensual and cozy, without becoming kitschy or even too animalic. Cuddle up with style - that's what I would call it! This is going to be my new favorite winter scent.....which I could even imagine wearing in spring. But by then the bottle will probably be empty again ;-) if you're not a real oriental fan, but you like floral-tart-spicy scents with a lot of depth, you should try this one, it might pay off. In addition, he is quite cheap to have.

It's not for little girls!
First of all I am rather the boyish jeans type, sporty casual and no "female". I don't like sweet, heavy Orientals and wear men's fragrances as well as some for ladies. At some point in my young years a Scherrer flew to me, no idea what his name was at that time, he was much too sweet for me, too heavy, too madamic. Since then - and that was more than 20 years ago - the Scherrer brand has become completely uninteresting for me. By chance, I came across the "One Love" these days. The name is now rather not for me, because I do not like kitsch stuff and also the bottle is rather subordinated with me, for me only the content counts and I wanted to approach it on the basis of the list of ingredients and also the comments. I have indulged in him blindly and what can I say: horny! If I had to name an actress who perfectly embodies him for me, I would spontaneously think of Grace Kelly and Laureen Bacall. Cool, a hint of tart, with pleasantly fresh green touches and damn self-confident and style-conscious. This is the One Love - nothing for little girls with ribbons and sweet sugar bow! The prelude is even a trace strict, that scared me off with the first time sniffing almost a trace, but that gave itself completely fast. Mimosa, bergamot and a hint of lemon are clearly perceptible to me. It is a fragrance that fits wonderfully into the warm season, it lets the sun shine even brighter, the warmth unfold more beautifully on the skin and it is simply ingeniously bright and clear, almost like champagne for the throat! The woods are quickly recognizable in the foreground, which I find wonderfully beautiful, I love spicy wooden scents.....for me, by the way, he is not a trace creamy, as I could read here so many times, I rather find that he comes dry-soft. It is the perfect complement for a self-confident woman who knows what she wants and will not let herself be taken butter from bread in any situation of life. It never becomes obtrusive, nor does it come to the fore too much, especially as it becomes less present over time, but not fleeting. The lilac gives it depth and elegance, the oak moss gives it the green astringency that I like very much, especially in summer. He comes along on a quieter sole, but he really doesn't have to hide, he symbolizes strength and straightforwardness for me and also gives a bit of self-confidence. I love vetiver in the exit and it can be sniffed out on my wrist for a long time....I noticed that it has a long breath, both on the skin and on the clothes. I would say it always leaves - maybe not at minus 15 degrees, but at sports, in the office, in the plane, in church, in the evening and also at night ;-) it is simply something fine, noble with addictive factor!
