Air Tiger by Marc Gebauer is really not for the faint-hearted.

I recently bought the Discovery Set from Marc Gebauer.
There were 7 fragrances. I sprayed all 7 on a round shaped nasal cloth and smelled them throughout the day.
I left all the nasal tissues next to each other on my table, which is about 3 meters away from my bed.
This scent projected on the nasal cloth for 3 days!!!
I lie in bed at night and out of nowhere comes a cloud of Air Tiger fragrance.

It's incredible how strong this fragrance is.
I already knew that it was strong, because for this fragrance only components were chosen that have the largest possible molecules to make the fragrance as heavy and long-lasting as possible, but I didn't think it would be this strong.

The longer the fragrance is on the skin, the thinner and heavier it becomes.
I don't like the fragrance itself, it's too dark, too leathery, too smoky, too everything.
But as for the longevity and especially the sillage..... 11/10.

It's definitely worth trying it out to experience this performance.

Malibu Party in the Bay by Simone Andreoli has a hype and a rating that I can't understand.
In the TOP 50 unisex fragrances...
A little too well rated in my eyes.

Many speak of a cocktail or a nice mojito but for me the whole thing smells far too sweet due to the rum and sugar note. It's too much.
In my opinion, this rum and lime combination doesn't harmonize at all.
It's far too pungent, far too fruity and sweet for summer.

I only notice the coconut in the dry down.
For me, however, it doesn't really smell like the coconut itself, but more like coconut water.
But it's a pleasant coconut that doesn't smell synthetic to me, which is rare for coconut fragrances.

The price-performance ratio is very strong for an Eau de Parfum Intense.
Has a solid longevity.

Unfortunately not for me.

Otimo from pernoire is very special.

When I smelled it for the first time, I couldn't say exactly what I smelled. It came across to me like dark coffee mixed with alcohol.
At the beginning, you notice the rum very strongly and the cardamom brings out a strong spiciness.
In the dry down, however, the scent is very sweet and creamy.
You get a delicious praline and tonka bean that give the fragrance a completely different twist.
Very well done by Pernoire, I've never had a scent like this under my nose before.
This stuff lasts forever and smells very unique.

Otimo was actually my first discovery at pernoire.

This resenzion will probably be a bit longer, because I have a lot to say about this fragrance...
I am very proud to say that Anelo by Pernoire was already known to me 2 weeks before release.

I met dear Nico Mannino by chance at the gym.
I wasn't sure if I should approach him or not because I wasn't 100% sure it was him.
Pernoire hadn't been an issue with me for a long time (3-4 months).
I recognized Nico from Tiktok. I kept coming across informative videos from him and Robin Dünner about the perfume brand.
For a very long time I didn't know that they were from Pernoire because I didn't pay attention to the name of the account.
Since they had few likes and views, I thought it was another one of those cheap clone brands that always pop up.
That's why I didn't pay much attention or interest.
But when I saw the Pernoire flacons here and there on social media, the name stuck in my head.
When I saw another video of yours on fyp, I connected the dots and scrolled through the page.

On November 23, 2024 I was in the perfumery Osswald, Zurich to test some fragrances, but then I saw your bottles.
I've been there so many times and never noticed the bottles. I didn't even know you were there.
When I recognized the bottles, I naturally had to test the fragrances. I was quite confused because the scents were very unusual. I couldn't really categorize them.
At that moment when I was testing the fragrances, a nice lady from the perfumery was nearby and told me something about the brand.
Pernoire took part in an event where experts smell fragrances blind and rate the scents based on creativity. Pernoire scored highly and was among the top 10. Makes perfect sense to me.

A bit of time has passed since then and I haven't looked at pernoire much.
Until I recognized Nico at the gym on 29 January.
I was unsure but I went up to him and asked him "Hey, aren't you the CEO of Pernoire?", to which he smiled and said "Yes I am".
I can really only say positive things about Nico. We talked for more than 30 minutes and at the end he gave me the Pernoire Discovery Set. It was a really interesting conversation, incredibly cool to get to know the mind behind these perfumes.
Nico said to me "You know, I think people who want to smell different and special come to Pernoire." when I told him that I find Pernoire's fragrances very unusual. I can only agree!
As an example, he wanted to show me a fragrance that he had with him as a sample.
And that, my friends, was the Anelo...

Nico asked me if I wanted to spray it on, I answered yes. But he wouldn't let me take the sample in my hand.
"Sorry, the name is on here, it won't be on the market until Valentine's Day in two weeks," he said.
When he sprayed Anelo on my arm, I let it soak in a little on my arm.
While he was telling me the inspiration for it, I smelled my arm. I have never been so quickly convinced by a fragrance. Anelo blew me away DIRECTLY from the table.
What an olfactory experience!
Anelo is inspired by a trip by the sea. With fruitiness, freshness and a certain spiciness of the islands.

It opens very fruity with an overdose of pineapple. It is very tangy and fresh at the same time.
In the dry down comes the citric spiciness of the ginger. The mango makes this fragrance even creamier.
It then becomes a little woody in the base.
This fragrance develops incredibly beautifully and lasts forever on the skin.
This will be a hit and my #1 in summer.
Pineapple is my favorite fruit, with mango in second place and watermelon in third place.
I think the fact that the pineapple is overdosed here is what made me love it so much.
The fact that mango also plays a part here is like a dream for my senses.

I was really completely in love with this fragrance and couldn't wait for it to come out.
4 days before the release, they posted a 3-5 second video every day with a little leak.
Every day 1 letter was capitalized in the middle of the sentence. This resulted in A.N.E.L.
After analyzing their last names and meanings behind them, my guess was "ANELA". This stands for "angel" in Hawaiian and would fit perfectly with this tropical story.
Normally pernoire always replied to my comments under the videos on Instagram, but not on this one. I thought I had cracked it. I wasn't very far off the mark :)
You could also see very little of the bottle in the videos. It was white.
1 day before the release they announced that Pernoire now have 2 collections. "ANIMA" and "ODUS".
Anima are the black bottles with 25% fragrance oil. Odus are the white bottles with 30% fragrance oil and an overdose of a certain note.
My joy was even greater when I saw this. I also find the white bottle incredibly beautiful.

At 09:00 on Friday, February 14, 2025, you made the fragrance available for pre-orders.
I ordered it immediately. Nico then told me privately that I was the first to order the Anelo and that made me incredibly happy because I like the fragrance so much and have been waiting for the last 2 weeks to order it.
In the evening Robin was also live on Instagram on pernoire.official.
I got a shoutout from him when he saw that I had joined the live. He thanked me for being the first to order the fragrance.
That makes you very happy...
Among other things, he also showed me the sprayer; pressurized atomizer uffff.
I can hardly wait until my bottle arrives at home!!!

I associate an incredible amount of things with this fragrance. My chance meeting with Nico, our long conversation, the story he told about the fragrance when I smelled it, the surprise at the first sniff, the hype over these 2 weeks, the recognition in the live etc.
I thank God that my path crossed with Nico's and that a story came out of it.

I discovered Maison Crivelli through free samples that were sent to me when I bought a fragrance.
Hibiscus Mahajad was one of the 3 samples that came with it.
I fell in love with the fragrance.

I didn't know what I was smelling in my nose because I didn't know the smell of hibiscus.
I found the scent mega soft, strong, elegant and above all floral.
You can smell a certain amount of synthetics, but you ignore that with such a good scent.
I can't smell the leather at all.
I find it very exciting how 2 different cinnamon notes are included.

1 spray is enough to realize that the fragrance will last more than 12h on the skin.
With the other sample Oud Maracujá I have slowly understood the DNA of Maison Crivelli.
In the meantime, I have also tested the Oud Stallion, Patchouli Magnetik and it became clear to me.
The fragrance compositions are very innovative and exclusive.
Very very strong sillage and durability.
Price tag value!

Unfortunately, this fragrance was too feminine for me, but I liked it very much and I wanted to have it somehow near me without wearing it myself.
My solution for cases like this is always to simply give the fragrance to my girlfriend.
