Spring Rose
Although I don't particularly like Delina, I love this scent…
I believe it is a different composition of fragrance notes that makes this scent experience so special for me. Light, floral, fresh, and totally zesty and invigorating!
Great without being piercing. With this fragrance, I feel completely hydrated and revitalized, awake and beautiful.
I didn't think I would ever own this DNA again, but I love it! The longevity and sillage are also good with this scent, and you will definitely be noticed.

Woody
The scent strongly resembles the well-known Santal 33 by Le Labo, but for a quarter of the price. The fragrance starts with the bright, slightly scratchy Dandewood note and only becomes somewhat softer as it develops. The scent is absolutely unisex, has moderate longevity, and a rather close-to-skin sillage, making it not a beast like the aforementioned fragrance.
Bois de Balincourt is a lovely scent if you enjoy sandalwood and don’t want to spend a fortune. It’s for those who want to smell clean and well-groomed and don’t lean towards the typical DNA, like fruity floral or sweet.
If you like fragrances such as Santal 33 or Gris Charnel by bdk, it’s definitely worth a test.

Mmhhh…
Smelled it on the test strip and thought: yes, beautiful scent, that's why I sprayed it on my skin. In the late afternoon, I couldn't help myself and kept sniffing my wrist, so I added the fragrance to my wish list. The next day, since I had another day off, I went back to the perfume store to smell it again, yes, that was it:
Fruity, spicy, slightly toasted. A scent that reminds me of something from my childhood, embodying fun and youth, bringing joy. So I ordered it directly from a super lovely perfumer @Derya and have been in love ever since.
The fragrance has a really beautiful aura, a moderate sillage, and great longevity. How does the scent smell? It starts with a wonderful combination of quince, ginger, and pear, and then becomes spicier and sweeter. In the drydown, it has a certain depth and maturity, yet the fragrance doesn't lose its fun factor. Beautiful, definitely worthy of being a signature scent, you can wear it anytime you miss something, when you want to smell happiness, when you want to feel secure. The scent is truly great for anyone who loves fruit!

Fresh Hazelnut Cream
Sounds crazy, but it's true.
I tried the fragrances from Parfums de Nicolai and didn't expect much. Since I had heard that it is a fragrance house in the very classic French style, I initially thought it might not be for me, but I was proven wrong. Many of the brand's scents smell absolutely grand to my nose, and the quality is noticeably detectable. Above all, Saint Honore blew me away. The fragrance starts with a slightly molecular hazelnut cream and is therefore not sweet at all. It is slightly earthy, yet perfectly balanced. The scent warms beautifully on the skin and becomes warmer and a bit sweeter over time, but it never becomes too much. The sillage is nice; you are noticed, but it is not overwhelming, which is good. The longevity is also great and totally sufficient. A beautiful fragrance that fits well into the cool season but would also be fine in spring, as it is not a cloyingly sweet gourmand, but a wonderfully crafted masterpiece, unlike Guerlains. Great brand with unique scents and Saint Honore is definitely my favorite!

The Evening of St. Nicholas
Fresh mandarins, candle scent on the Advent wreath, anticipation and excitement.
It’s St. Nicholas evening!
The fragrance strongly reminds me of the pre-Christmas season, the citrus scent of peeled oranges and mandarins, but there is also a smell of something green, bitter, even slightly spicy, and then there are these spicy woods that make the scent so unique.
In my opinion, the fragrance is truly underrated and a beautiful, fresh, spicy orange and sandalwood scent, with a lovely sillage and really good longevity. The scent is noticeable to others, and I have actually received a compliment on it. This fragrance is probably not on some people's radar, as the other two scents from the brand have clearly taken the spotlight, but I like this one from the brand the best so far and, in my opinion, it is definitely worth a sniff.
