Hello dears ! I'm well on my way, so here's a comment on one of my favourite fragrances: Emozione ("Emotion") by Salvatore Ferragamo, who was originally an Italian shoe designer but released his first fragrance in 1960. Meanwhile, there are, about 90 fragrances, for him and her.
I must say that I like Emozione by far the best of all the fragrances I know of from this brand. Through an exchange I got this - a stroke of luck and bull's eye.
Yes, scents arouse emotions. They can stir up, aphrodise, but also calm and soothe, lift the spirits and evoke memories
The fragrance "Emozione" is, briefly described, (Nivea) cream with peach on white musk, so above all fruity and creamy with powdery sweetness (just right for me). A similarity with the vintage Trésor from Lancome is not to be denied in my opinion. I can also sniff out a slight fine leather note. As simple as all this sounds, the perfume appears noble, multi-layered and delicate, as I wouldn't have expected it. I feel very balanced and at peace with myself. It simply suits me !
Thanks to its noble appearance, "Emozione" is suitable for everyday use as well as for going out.
I have to praise the sprayer of the bottle very much, a fine spray mist comes out, which is distributed evenly and not drop by drop. The shelf life and the silage are above average.
This fragrance is also available online at sensationally low prices.
My recommendation for women who are looking for something special, but do not want to spend a hundred euros on it.

Hello dear ones, today two comments from me: Wow, what am I productive ;-)

As some may know, some time ago I wrote a laudatory commentary on LVEB, the "original". I still stand by it, even though I hardly wear the scent anymore. It just doesn't suit me !

Yesterday I was in a perfumery for the first time in a long time, where I could finally test fragrances again with pleasure ! Oh, that felt good. So I tested among other things "La Vie est Belle L'Éclat L'Eau de Parfum". Immediately I was very impressed, I have a weakness for orange blossom, which really jumps at you in this perfume (well, I don't want to exaggerate, but it is very dominant). In addition, it has a certain fruity freshness, at least in the beginning. Soon, sweet vanilla comes into play and gives a homely feeling. For a moment I was inclined to buy the fragrance. Of course also to support a distressed retail business in the crisis.
But, you know, I'm pretty slick now. I know exactly, in the beginning I would be on fire, but in the course of time the enthusiasm would gradually diminish ... I am not the type for it, I would not feel well ... The scent would eventually overwhelm and tire me with its concentrated load of sweetness. The modern gourmand fragrances, all the flower bombs, scandals, olympeas and whatever they're called, instinctively have a strong attraction. You want scent?! Bang, there you go! Right in the twelve! Hardly anyone can resist the smell. It's like a bag of jelly babies with them. You can't stop, but in the end you've had enough. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk
No, I've gotten smarter over time: A perfume must suit the type! In my opinion. That's also the reason why many people here in the forum fall for fragrances that they don't like anymore. At another everything may be wonderful and harmonious, but then it just fits. This is like a dress, not every cut and color suits you !
Besides, I'd be very irritated if some Jeremy guy (nothing against Jeremy - he recommends this perfume, by the way) in the elevator standing next to me shouted: "Sexy! In my opinion, the fragrance is something for women who want to please.
I am now definitely out of this phase.

Hello dears ! Today again a comment to an Elizabeth Arden fragrance. This time Ardenbeauty, a fragrance that unfortunately hasn't been on the perfumery shelves for a long time. In a time when sweet gourmand fragrances are the hottest sellers, it's hard for scents with understatement to hold their own. I really like many of the brand's fragrances, as they are of solid quality and offer great value for money.
The scent is difficult to judge at first sight. Rather, it tempts you to misjudge it. One may be inclined to dismiss it as fresh and unimpressive. Yet it has so much depth. In the beginning, I felt like marzipan (see her comment): I couldn't understand why a) Catherine Zeta-Jones is the "face" of the perfume and b) the color red was chosen for the packaging or the cap. Now that I know Ardenbeauty well, I understand both of these reasons to be a logical choice. Despite its green, sparkling freshness, the fragrance conveys a warmth that I think comes from the ginger lily. For this purpose I want to post what I have found on the net about this plant:
The spice lily has a unique scent - both its leaves and rhizome and roots - so typical that the scent regularly transports you to the atmosphere of Asian shops: Floral, mysterious, exotic. One of the most important ingredients in the cuisine of Southeast Asia are the fleshy roots and rhizomes, which are reminiscent of ginger ... The spice lily has a euphoric, aphrodisiacal and even intoxicating effect. It has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system.
There you go Catherine's a perfect fit, isn't she?
In any case, I find the scent magical, it is anything but harmless fresh. Subtly erotic, and it lasts a long time - especially on clothes. It smells so wonderful even one day after spraying it on, I could bury my nose in it ...
A real insiders' tip, then. Don't be put off by the low price, because it smells anything but cheap. Besides, do you want to smell like ALL? Yes.

Hello dears ! As the title says, here's my long overdue comment on one of my favorite fragrances from Elizabeth Arden - a perfume and cosmetics brand that seems down-to-earth and rather reserved compared to other brands. Some of the fragrances' prices are ridiculously low. One reason, perhaps, why they don't get nearly as much reputation as they deserve. I think that this is a way to sell the fragrances below value.
Now for the scent. For some time now, I've not been of the opinion that all the perfumes you like suit you and that you should wear them. They have to suit the type. It has less to do with age than with character, appearance ... If I may take yours truly as an example: I like things simple and classic. I refuse piercings, I don't want tattoos in my life and I wouldn't dream of coloring my hair in any extreme color. I usually put my hair up. Flesh tunnels and other horrors are of course out of the question, one ear hole per earlobe is enough, two or more are already too much for me. Furthermore, I wear my fingernails short and at best with clear varnish. Make up yes, but no colourful eye shadow or bright red lipstick or even false eyelashes. I like feminine dresses and skirts, also jeans and blouses, but also casual - not careless - things. You get the picture ? Would a loud "screaming", sweet scent fit there ? I think not.
I go to work every day (well, not at the moment), I want to smell fresh and neat. For me the scent has to last for a whole working day if possible.
I find all these criteria in the wonderful fragrance My Fifth Avenue. I liked it very much from the beginning, I didn't need to try it a few times to know This is it! That's what I want It suits me
The fresh lemon and tangerine at the beginning, a soft jasmine-lotus note (the jasmine is reserved here), the fine musk and cedar wood finish. Violet leaf and ozone notes in between give a little spiciness or airiness. It is light, but with a relatively strong sillage (don't spray too much, I underestimated it in the beginning) and of a long-lasting nature - perfect. It is inconspicuously striking ... If that makes any sense ;-) Strikingly good, but in a rather inconspicuous way, I mean. He has class, but is by no means stuffy. In a word: Perfect. Perfect for me.
