Last year, a small perfumery on Lake Chiemsee. I bought a fragrance there and received the Muschio Bianco Eau de Parfum as a sample. It was amazing what this fragrance did to me.

For me, it is the epitome of freshness, cleanliness and elegance. I fell completely in love with this fragrance from the first spray. I would love it if I could smell it all around me all day long; whether at work, in the apartment, in the car, with other people; preferably everywhere, even in the air.
It's just that very special, clean scent that always puts a smile on my face and puts me in a good mood. It feels like a freshly washed summer's day: light, fresh and clean; elegant and unobtrusive at the same time.
Simply an indescribable feeling that I wouldn't want to do without.
The fragrance is suitable for every occasion, whether everyday, office or even in the evening at the lake with your buddies. It always goes everywhere, in my opinion.
If more people were like the Muschio Bianco Eau de Parfum, then the world would be in order; almost peaceful. The lightness and relaxation it conveys melts the soul and makes you forget for a moment what evil there is in this world.

The only tiny, tiny shortcoming of the eau de parfum is that the longevity is unfortunately not all that good. After about 4-5 hours, the fragrance is only perceptible very close to the skin. But let's be honest, as long as I can smell and perceive it, I don't really care. If I can no longer do that, I simply spray it on again and the salmon is finished ;)

Conclusion:
In short: I personally think the fragrance is mega awesome and hope Acca Kappa never discontinues it. If it does, bunker bottle rules. :)
For all those who like fresh, natural and unobtrusive scents, Muschio Bianco is a clear recommendation to buy.

After a long wait, it finally arrived today. The Minya. Ordered from the Netherlands for a really unbeatable price.
I came across this fragrance through a well-known influencer and, as is so often the case, I was enchanted once again. So, I spontaneously went on Google at eleven in the evening, searched, found and bought it.
Dear community, what can I say...

The fragrance itself reminds me of something specific from my childhood. An indefinable but comforting memory that gives me a feeling of warmth and familiarity. It is creamy and slightly nutty, almost like a sweet embrace from the past.
If only I could figure out what it reminds me of. Is it the nutty, creamy note that reminds me of cookies, is it a certain skincare product from my close friend or is it the homely atmosphere of the past, where vanilla spread while baking? I don't know and unfortunately I can't tell you. Maybe you can tell me.

At the same time, the fragrance is somewhat intense and full, almost heavy, but by no means unpleasant. It covers your head like a pleasant, soft veil and surrounds you with notes that demand your attention.

However, I find the fragrance slightly feminine, which gives it an elegant, soft side. But this does not make the fragrance bad at all. Quite the opposite. It makes it somehow special, full of character and also a bit special. You have to expect that when you order the fragrance. :)

Conclusion:
Minya is definitely worth a try for all those who want to experience a bit of nostalgia and are aware that the feminine accent is not neglected. For the price, the fragrance is okay to good, H/S is bombastic, the bottle is nice to look at and the atomizer does what it is supposed to do. So, thumbs up.

Garrigue is a beautiful fragrance, please don't get me wrong. Unfortunately, however, it has major weaknesses. More on that later. First the positive part.

In the center of Rome, in a small perfumery, I was allowed to try out various "fresh" fragrances. The advice was excellent and not too intrusive, as is so often the case in niche perfumeries. Almost everything was represented, from Aventus to Xerjoff. Then this perfume was recommended to me. Highly praised and beautifully presented, the fragrance was sprayed onto a test strip. I wish I had done the test once on my skin and taken my time afterwards...

The fresh and natural radiance of the fragrance is immediately convincing, without having to think about the consequences. The combination of green herbs, delicate citrus notes and light woody accents
reflect the Mediterranean flair of the Garrigue region very well. This becomes even clearer when sprayed onto the skin. It reveals a light, almost airy freshness that makes you forget for a moment that you are in the here and now and not on vacation

Now for the big "BUT".
As charming as the olfactory idea is, the technical implementation of the fragrance leaves a lot to be desired. The durability is extremely weak. After just two hours, there is hardly anything left of the fragrance. The sillage is also rather restrained. The fragrance is hardly noticed by the environment and remains very close to the skin. You would have to overspray the fragrance to leave the desired impression. However, it is also questionable whether this will have the desired effect. Furthermore, it is simply too expensive for this. For such an expensive fragrance, in my opinion, the H/S should actually be above average. Unfortunately, this is not the case and you only enjoy the fragrance for a short time.

Conclusion:
Garrigue is an exciting fragrance with a great basic idea, but it loses its impact with its subterranean and weak projection. If you are looking for a fresh, Mediterranean fragrance for short moments, you will definitely enjoy it. However, if you are expecting a long-lasting fragrance performance, you will be disappointed by this fragrance. You would have to carry the bottle with you all the time and spray it every few hours. And that, in my opinion, is not what you want from a €240 perfume.

Too bad, but you learn from your mistakes.

A rainy afternoon had taken me to a nearby department store. Once there, I rattled through all the perfume stores.
I ignored Zara, a fashion store. By chance and thanks to a friend and his girlfriend, we ended up there.
Once there, the perfume section caught my eye. So, I rushed straight in and sniffed through the Zara fragrance world.
Fascinated and actually surprised by some of the fragrances, one in particular stood out. The For Him Red Edition Intense.

The fragrance exudes a fresh, energetic and sweet wave that I would love to surf on. The interplay of the individual fragrance notes, for me, perfectly coordinated.
And even when worn on a daily basis, whether at work or in a normal environment, the fragrance is really something! I have never received so many compliments and questions about what kind of fragrance it is.
Of course, I don't yet have the broad spectrum that some others here on Parfumo have. And I'm sure there are other perfumes where you get something like this more often.
But I think for this price, this fragrance is simply a must for anyone who likes to receive compliments. In terms of price/performance, it is simply bombastic. I can no longer imagine my collection without it. A

It easily lasts eight hours and gets you through a working day perfectly. Always there but not too intrusive and very pleasant on the nose. A beautiful, well-rounded and, for me, timeless fragrance that is perfect for the modern man.

The bottle is the only small drawback. It's really nothing special and the lid doesn't have a magnetic closure either. The atomizer is "OK". But you have to turn a blind eye somewhere for the price.

Conclusion: Top daily fragrance, super price, super durability. What more could a man want? ;)

This year I was able to get to know the Aquaflor brand in Florence. While testing a few perfumes, almost all of which were really very good, one bottle in particular caught my eye. A red bottle that stood next to a cigar and a whisky glass. Curious as I was and also enthusiastic about the other fragrances, I went to the bottle in question.
I took off the lid, sprayed it on a test strip and smelled it. The fragrance, how can I put it? It completely won me over from the very first scent.
But first I wanted to make sure that I really liked the fragrance, so I wanted to test it on my skin. So, said and done.
Here too, full enthusiasm. The opening on the skin is rather fresh and spicy. Cardamom, citrus, angelica and a hint of wormwood create an elegant, almost aristocratic note that is very pleasing to the nose.
After some movement in Florence, the fragrance began to unfold its heart note. Saffron, rhubarb and juniper berries. What can I say. Every time I moved, I thought to myself, "Wow, what smells so extremely good here?" This depth of the heart note was, without exaggerating, simply too intense.
The finish was my personal highlight. Cashmere wood, tobacco, ambergris and myrrh. These form a wonderfully sensual, long-lasting finish. Soothing, noble, stylish. A perfectly coordinated gentleman's fragrance that could be a "daily fragrance" for me. However, it is too good for me. I prefer to wear this DNA on special occasions. The 1919 is a fragrance that definitely leaves an impression. It is elegant, mysterious and, in my opinion, absolutely unique. I have never smelled a comparable fragrance.

Conclusion: The fragrance is worth every penny. Absolutely recommended to buy. You simply feel extremely comfortable in this fragrance. :)
