"What does a baby smell like when it smells the way you think it should?"
"He smells good," said the nurse. "What do you mean, good?" Terrier yelled at her. "Many things smell good. A bunch of lavender smells good. (..) What does an infant smell like, I want to know?"
The wet nurse hesitated. She knew what babies smelled like, she knew exactly, (...) she could find them at night with her nose, she could smell the baby's odor clearly even now. But she had never described it with words before.
"So-" the nurse began, "it's not easy to say, because... because they don't smell the same everywhere, although they smell good everywhere, Father, you see, so on the feet, for example, they smell like a smooth warm stone (...) And on the body they smell like... like a galette that's been put in milk. And on the head, up there, at the back of the head, where the hair makes the swirl, there, look, Father, there, where there's nothing left on you..." and she tapped Terrier, who had become speechless for a moment at this torrent of detailed stupidity and had obediently lowered his head, on his bald head"... here, right here, that's where they smell best. That's where they smell like caramel, it smells so sweet, so wonderful (..).

When I sprayed "Milk Musk (Eau de Toilette) | Molton Brown" on my hand for the first time in Breuninger some time ago, I immediately had the association: Fontanelle (the spot on a baby's head described by the nun). Such a sweet, creamy, warm, vanilla-like and gentle scent. Milky and familiar, so incredibly embracing and protective. Something slightly powdery.
The good thing is that, apart from my first association, the fragrance can work for many people. Fruity at first but not overwhelmingly sweet, I smell both pear and peach. But then it's directly embedded in this vanilla milk and the musk wraps itself around everything like a warm cuddly cloud. The fragrance is quite quickly close to the skin but then remains perceptible for a good 6-7 hours. The fact that the sillage is not so strong is also fitting in my opinion.
The bottle also catches my eye, I like how simple and yet special it looks with this sphere. Even if the bottle of the EDP "Milk Musk (Eau de Parfum) | Molton Brown" is even prettier... but that was a bit too heavy for me personally, it's not a blind buy candidate (in my opinion).
Conclusion: My signature, works in every season (maybe not in midsummer), both during the day and at night. I have only received positive feedback so far. Absolutely comfortable and makes you feel good.

Freshly washed sweater in a sea of flowers
Yesterday I was in Müller and lost myself a little in the Korres fragrances, in a good way! I really like subtle, close-to-the-skin fragrances and find the brand's philosophy very appealing. There was very little that I didn't like and I fell in love with "Black Sugar | Korres" straight away. Only Cashmere Kumquat was no longer available in a test bottle, so I was kind enough to take a small sample with me and tested it on my skin the next morning, freshly showered and very daring.
I felt as if I had applied silky body lotion on a sunny terrace with a view of blossoming orange trees in the distance. This fresh feeling then got warmer and warmer, I had probably put on the cashmere sweater unnoticed and soaked it with a touch of vanilla almond milk.
I was pleasantly surprised by the longevity of this EdT. It stayed with me until late afternoon, when it was much more restrained but still very pleasantly perceptible.
A few weeks ago, I tested a bottle of "Valaya | Parfums de Marly" and have now smelled the two side by side. Even though they are not twins, they could be sisters. However, Valaya is a little older, no longer quite as playful and has shed the floral-citrus note, but both still have their very own fresh creaminess..
Back to Cashmere Kumquat: The price/performance ratio is incredible, the Korres bottles are between 18 and 50 euros for 50 ml, depending on the supplier. I also really like the look of the bottles. The colorful but at the same time not boring modern-minimalist aesthetic definitely appeals to me.
