THE cool-down drink on hot days
I recently had the privilege of attending a wedding as a guest.
The weather forecast for the day had already brought beads of sweat to my forehead in advance. It was predicted to be up to 33 degrees.
As I think it's appropriate to wear a suit to a wedding with a church and all the trimmings, it was clear that I needed a fragrance that would refresh me and cool me down in between and make the heat more or less bearable.
So this day was THE opportunity to finally test Torino21 in practice. I was most curious about the shelf life, especially on this hot day, as Freshies are generally not shelf life monsters.
So I put on my suit and applied Torino21.

The opening of the fragrance is extremely fresh and picked me up straight away. Mint, herbs and lemon (maybe lime too?) in your face! Wow. As if a waiter has just (accidentally) poured a mojito over your suit.
Even my wife was totally thrilled and that's saying something, as she usually finds it hard to get excited about some fragrances.
As a precaution, I had put the sample in my pocket so that I could spray it on from time to time. But to be honest, and surprisingly, that wasn't necessary.
Whenever I thought that the fragrance must have worn off by now, I was surprised by a wave of scent that poured over me like a shower and cooled me down pleasantly. Goosebumps.
Torino remained minty and fresh as the fragrance progressed and I could detect nuances of basil and thyme.
For me, Torino21 is an absolute cool-down and must-have, especially on hot days.

P.s.
After two days, the shirt still smelled wonderfully of Torino and contaminated almost the entire laundry basket.

Sweet and nutty vanilla dream
So, here it is: Vanilla Haze.

I haven't been on Parfumo for long and I'm not as eloquent as some of the others here, but I would still like to attempt my first review.

Vanilla Haze - I was a little taken aback by this name. Where do I know this name from? Have you heard or read it somewhere before? Then I remembered it again: There is actually a cannabis strain called Vanilla Haze. But don't worry! The scent I've just sprayed on the back of my hand again (2 sprays) has absolutely nothing to do with cannabis, thank God!
The fragrance gets its name more from the strongly dominant vanilla and the (hazelnut) hazelnut.

So now to the fragrance:
When I spray it on for the first time, which is often referred to as the opening, I smell a very dominant, sweet but warm vanilla bomb. To my surprise, the vanilla still remains very dominant in the foreground after some time / the drydown, but it is joined by a wonderfully pleasant, creamy nuttiness that gives the fragrance a little more warmth (probably due to the tonka bean) and coziness. Over time, I can even detect a small and subtle splash of coconut (milk).
I love it when fragrances are not linear, but develop over time and then gradually release individual components.

What I particularly like about Vanilla Haze is the successful balancing act between the sweet vanilla and the almost slightly woody and creamy nut.
I have not yet been able to detect a mandarin note.
On the back of my hand, the fragrance had a good longevity of 8 - 10 hours. Even after washing in the evening, I could still smell the fragrance on the back of my hand in bed. Awesome.

Since sweet perfumes are now also quite popular in the men's world, I definitely see Vanilla Haze as unisex.
I would rather see it in fall or winter due to its sweetness / heaviness.

Finally, I would like to thank you for sending me the sample and thus the opportunity to take part in the competition :) Great campaign!
