For me, Hundred Silent Ways is the fragrance that brings me the most compliments.
It's nothing special for a niche fragrance, but it's very pleasant and pleasing for untrained noses!
The fragrance is very worthwhile for me, especially because of its super performance. I don't have many other floral fragrances, which is why I like having this Nishane in my collection :)
I would also find the fragrance very beautiful on men!

Fève Délicieuse was actually one of my first niche fragrances. (Even if it is debatable whether it is niche.) When I smell it now, I am amazed that a "beginner" can start with such a fragrance. Especially with the 125ml bottle. But for me it was and is just perfect :)
Great longevity, great sillage and also totally unisex for me.
The only drawback: it's far too specific. Normally, spicy-gourmands are fall and winter fragrances for me. Even if I sometimes have the audacity to wear them in spring and summer. But for me, Fève Délicieuse is not even a winter fragrance, but rather a Christmas fragrance. I also wear it every year on Christmas Eve :) I just think it's a total shame that there's so few occasions for me to wear such a perfect fragrance like this..
Despite everything, I love to hold my nose to it all year round and enjoy it so much.
Hopefully it will be more wearable for other fragrance lovers. Due to the good performance of the fragrance, however, a small size would probably suffice :)

Oriana is once again a fragrance that taught me a lesson..
When Oriana on 2021 came out, I had to try it immediately. Of course, also because Parfums de Marly has some of the most beautiful bottles, and then in pink.
I'm a huge fan of bubblegum and super sweet gourmands, so I was very excited to try this fragrance. The fact that my favorite fragrance youtuber also raved about the scent naturally made my expectations even higher.
Well, and then the bottle arrived. And I found it totally awful. I often have problems with citrusy notes anyway, especially the orange ones. It smelled too old-fashioned for me, with a bit of toilet cleaner in it. After that, I immediately put it deep in my bottling drawer.
Then I tried it again. Not much better. And then again. Not much better either..
But something happened this year. I kept putting my nose to the bottle again. And somehow I liked what I smelled? I just think that the nose gets more and more used to niche fragrances over the years. Just an aquired taste :) Maybe it's also because Kilian - Princess sweetened my summer. This is also a citrusy marshmallow fragrance.
In any case, I haven't been able to stop wearing my Oriana for weeks. I bought the 30ml version first. Big mistake. I wouldn't be surprised if that version runs out soon!
So, what are my feelings about the fragrance now?
I still don't find the fragrance youthful, as many people say. However, it's no longer old-fashioned either. For me, it is very elegant despite the bubblegum feeling. A fragrance that suits me during the day in summer (due to the top note), but can also pass as an evening fragrance.
I can still understand that it smells like toilet cleaner to some people, but it smells rather refreshing to me now. A gourmand that is also wonderful in summer! :) For me, it's a much, much better Byredo - Sundazed, which unfortunately still smells like toilet cleaner to me :(
On the durability and sillage: Not good. But I already knew that. And I don't always find it bad in summer if a fragrance is not so penetrating and you have to spray it on from time to time. However, this becomes a little more difficult in fall and winter. My 2021 bottling actually lasts better and also has a greater sillage, which is why I hope that it will "age" a little more for me.
I didn't like most of my favorite fragrances at first, so I would like to advise you to always give interesting fragrances several chances. It has definitely paid off for me far too often!
