Melancholy
Or
Whoever has never eaten their bread with tears...
J.W. von Goethe
-
With the press of the spray button, I am enveloped by a dark, colorful cloud of sadness,
from the center of my chest, black-and-white images rise.
The opening is a clear statement, a lavender swirl pumped up with aldehydes, paired with a hint of juniper and a subtle sweet-fruity note of bergamot.
Dense, cool, crystal clear, somehow very metallic, somewhat aloof, assertive. Indeed, what rises to the nose as a guide of the fragrance can be described as a *cologne note. This note, in my opinion, represents the absent father.
Rejection, the unspeakable, the incomprehensible, the *mistake, - guilt.
The scent immediately reminded me of church visits in my childhood; I see myself
trudging along the snowy, narrow promenade in the winter twilight, can hear the creaking of the wooden door upon opening, feel the warmth of the old foot heater under the bench, and smell the rising
air that slowly mixes with incense... it has something sacred about it.
Serge Lutens has built fougere notes into the fragrance;) and I am relieved that this very prominent lavender note is not a nasal illusion. Classic, a bit old-fashioned at heart, but the head and base are very contemporary.
--
-> Fougere moss - wood (patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood oil), lots of herbal fresh components, but also lavender, geranium, ylang oil, and rose. Coumarin is always included as well. The fougere accord can also contain neroli and bergamot oil, vanilla notes, anisaldehyde, resins, and musk.
--
I smell a very distinct aldehyde opening, incense, lavender, soapy from head to mid-heart note, fruity, coumarin, clove, woody, not little patchouli, watery-cool (moss?) musk, and for me also the cookie-like;) -> cashmeran - an idea of vanilla and something addictive, subtly smooth-leathery in the creamy-lightly powdery base ... or something like that...
Melancholy and gloom projected outward with the means of perfumery, made palpable and smellable. The oppressive feelings that the scent evokes, the uncertainty, the fear of plunging into the depths of one’s own soul, of getting lost, are met with a timid innocent strength, one fears along.
Black and white --> a threatening, oppressive, fear-inducing balancing act over the void.
http://tinyurl.com/kuaxjte
Children's souls feel colorful, or just black and white, at some point.
The scent carries both genders within it, has a hard-masculine side (cologne note;)
and a delicate, fragile, slightly sweet, feminine entirety (for me).
The constant tension between the two poles presents itself to me as a process of working through, not as an emphasis of contrast. I perceive L'Orphelines' perfume character as tenderly feminine, with a not insignificant charming-erotic aura. In the base, I can hardly get my nose off the back of my hand. The top note is a fantastic fireworks display; I sprayed the sample in a flash, as the opening gives such a wonderfully tingling nose flash. From the heart note on, it becomes intimate. I find the longevity okay at five hours; for a Lutens, that’s generous.
One can wear the scent due to its cool-warm changing character year-round. It is a very moderate, essentially easy-to-wear oriental-fougere that one doesn’t have to understand; it is busy with itself anyway;)
Presented this way, it is a perfect entry point for noses that find Lutens scents challenging. It also has something chic;) I attribute that to the metallic note) I am sure L'Orphelines will be a hit. And no, I don’t believe that Iso-E is inside.
If anything, then Ambroxan.

The Wind Blows
It smells like adventure
http://www.africanivoryroute.co.za/map
http://tinyurl.com/mos6qfy
Orange-fruity - minty mountain greeting, a hint of fresh basil, and you stand all alone on the trail. Alone at 48° under the last cactus, equipped with a pack of *Capri Sonne
waiting for a gracious continuation.
The heat burns on your head, the crusty ground smells of dried clay, and now and then
the wind weaves in. It whispers *freedom in your ear, lures you on, carrying spicy,
red-peppery, and other fine scents like myrrh, amber, incense, and sweet tobacco ahead. Ivory Route smells delicious in stretches, and although far away a
gourmand tempts with the mace-coumarin-orange tea note that makes you want to bite in.
Summer incense, summer amber, labdanum in the heat, it works very well here.
Same idea as Tauer's Desert (I smell Tauerade) but implemented differently, the route is also longer, leading from Morocco to the Cape of Good Hope.
I distinctly perceive my favorite balsamic addiction note - Peru balsam, which could also be used to tar the roads well.
Bouncing through the sandy steppe, savannas pass by, the scent of dry grass - hay warmth fills the air. You can't smell the large animals, you can only see them, some plodding leisurely along the way, others flying past you, and some majestic heads lazily rest in the shade of a tree. When it comes to floral notes, you can’t go wrong with rose and jasmine.
Sandalwood, a hint of iris root, vanilla, cool patchouli, damp moss, and it pulls you further along the Ivory Route.
Through the wind farm, the journey is the destination, an off-road tour and not an easy one at that.
The scent is a wonder of sillage and longevity, it doesn’t fade, everything it has to offer remains easily accessible for 10 hours. The base is defined by vanilla and sandalwood, dry-sweet, a bit slower but not for resting.
The idea with the adrenaline has been beautifully developed, the scent demands a lot; if you want to stretch out by the campfire in the evening, it still wants to go on.
The night chill of the desert, daytime heat, glaring sunlight, the color red in all shades, different climate zones, the promise of a
proper cooling at the end of the journey, strength, desire, freedom, and above all the movement of the winds can be found in the scent.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNSKrd04uQo
There’s a hint of bouquet ideals in Ivory Route, but I’m also reminded of Spiritueuse Double Vanille and Myrrhe Ardente sends gentle greetings;)
You really have to like incense, myrrh, vanilla tobacco, and patch to
enjoy the Ivory Route:)
I experience the scent as rather feminine, not even unisex... it radiates strength, demanding inflexibility, and a wonderful fragility.
This elitist club nonsense is just ridiculous. It somehow comes off as so outdated - so 80s that I almost find it funny, completely grotesque :D:D
I just try to see the beauty of Africa.

Nikita?
Nikita
yes, I don't have much to say :D
The sample delighted me when I sprayed it, looking so fine, so elegantly packaged as it peeked out of the mailbox.
Who are you......
hm............
and since I didn't really know, except yes, Sentifique is quite clear,
somehow down-to-earth, traditionally seemingly ''old-fashioned'' ingredients/
fragrance families clash with Iso, Ambro, Oud and Co.
A bit daring. Daring because, for example, this rose is not a modern,
but a classic, sweetly charming rose, a very soft, bright, indeed a
dog rose, which comes across as almost too innocent and inexperienced to be
an absolute, or to be strong and dirty.
And since I knew nothing at all, I immediately consulted Parfumo ;)
so, what now, as I read below -> my male predecessor
is not entirely uninvolved in the creation of the scent,*scratches head*.
I can understand his association, but what now,
Nikita.....
I thought for a moment :) well, Nikita (Anne Parillaud) from Luc Besson fits for me too.
Daring, a young rose, very sexy, trimmed on command shows her thorns and bleeds....
but it's a bit too violent for Parfumo ;)....
a bit too -> everything at once.
Daim Rouge
Here you have an overflowing character on the first spray, grapefruit, fruity/sour
notes that somehow come off as oud-heavy (“Erba Pura” comes to mind spontaneously),
soft, velvety, full suede (could actually be red) bathing in pink absolute.
For me, the scent is upside down.
The scent progression is linear, you feel like you have the finished
scent in your nose in no time, knowing everything, but it's just a hint, a hint of the whole
character. The scent progression is indeed clearly perceivable, tightly woven (like in an
extrait) flowing, seemingly quickly at the point, yet somehow the scent wanders within itself
between its poles restlessly back and forth, an involuntary multiple personality :))
Nikita starts loud, driven, hurried, becomes calmer on the way,
sweeter, more carried, tamed not really.
A beautiful cassie note determines the scent for a long stretch,
it smells of ink, of iron,
a little like blood rose from Lutens, also Indigo from Magnetique Scent comes to mind,
Black Violet, Cuir Améthyste, Roses & chocolate from Mancera, Brulure de Rose, which also comes off very similarly with creaminess/honey, just missing the leather.
Raspberries, yes, a few could appear ;) the violet cannot be denied either.
Round, very round it becomes, very jammy too...
and I distinctly smell cocoa, not chocolate, more like
blackcurrant - cream cake with cocoa powder on top.
Rich, berry - gourmand, with a touch of chocolatey patchouli.
Sooo, now I want to know,
clever child looks at AlzD..
http://www.ausliebezumduft.de/sentifique-daim-rouge.html
aha..............
Merde, now I've looked it up, spoiled the suspense :D:D
Ui, there I also read Nikita :)) good..
I have to come up with something different.
Uma Thurman in Kill Bill, no, doesn't fit...
not French enough, not noble, the rose, no, that won't do.
Isabelle Adjani (she shot a music video with Luc Besson :D
http://tinyurl.com/lgqfjqn
Mathilda (Natalie Portman) in Luc Besson's Léon - the Professional :) she fits perfectly for me! http://tinyurl.com/netkrdk
In general, the scent should be dedicated to Luc Besson's women!
Those in his films, as well as in life.
Continuing with the text :D
The honey,
I only smell honey after an hour, soft/sweet/bright, like from acacias, but the rose lives on.
After 2 hours, a bit of coconut wafts around my nose, heaven knows where from.
Leather, tonka, woody, warming and again that sour/ fruity ink note
and of course Iso, not in short supply. Since guaiac wood also comes off rosy,
the base is also nicely rosy/woody..
So, and what is now please with Chypre :) so much Chypre, as ''Chypre Fatal''
Daim Rouge, a leathery/ fruity chocolate rose....
a modern, young, noble, gourmand Floriental with a touch of eccentric drama.
The female counterpart to testosterone, only women have to fight ;)
For me, the most successful, easiest to wear Sentifique.
No wonder, I love roses/ cassie/ raspberries/ chocolate/ patch.
Purely feminine it may be, but I can definitely imagine the scent on a man.
The longevity of the two sprays on my wrist is more than decent with a really good
perceivability of over 8 hours.
The scent scope is strong.
And something about the nose behind the scent.

Heaven and Hell
Let's start with the finely tied satin ribbon in the shape of a (for me) rose, which is casually kept in black. It cheekily deceives us, sitting accurately on the delicate
neck of the bottle, presenting a casual innocence, even a bit of Lolita. But let’s face the truth. What we are led to believe, eagerly
awaiting, is only superficially unblemished. The opening of the fragrance is young, bergamot fruity-sweet, juicy, briefly a bit schnapps-like, liqueur-like.
The slight bitterness of clove framed by bergamot and a sweetness that is present throughout the entire scent journey. It has something of a mandarin studded with cloves, also
slightly cake-like and simply biteable, juicy and delicious. This fruity mixture lasts a good hour, but the main character of the fragrance story, and it is not leather, waits impatiently. Our Eve is a true patchouli scent. Patchouli very skillfully woven into much soft, delicate, and powdery-sweet. A bit of Epic;) Jovoy's Psychedelique, a little Coromandel, but much more SEX is offered by the heart note, where this Eve arrives, you surely won’t meet the others.
Eve's heart screams loudly and passionately, longing, consumed, is glowing and demanding. This patchouli is wonderful, from warm hay - chocolate, to cool
depth, dirt, grave, everything is there. Eve is an old soul, I can’t describe it any other way. A heart note that fascinates and captivates me, dramatic, fiery, suffering, struggle, romance.
I can’t detect any iris butter, just a bit of whipped cream, (Cashmeran?? like a dollop
of cream on the flower's enchanting heliotropes. Iris takes on the role of a quiet but strong counterpart, with dry woodiness taking the moisture from the patchouli, trimming it to elegance, taming the raw, calming it. The only berries I smell, and not necessarily in the heart note, but repeatedly appearing in the base, are cranberries and perhaps cassie.
So innocently playful is the opening, captivating, mercilessly intense the heart, so
settled, mature, and calm do I perceive the fragrance in the base. Right there I can then sense a hint of leather, smooth, soft, vanillic leather, in a light, warm, almost golden color of the rising sun.
What can still be smelled hours later. Patchouli, dry, woody, slightly berry-vanillic sweetness, a bit from the beginning of the journey.
The first images I had in mind while testing were those of Wynona Ryder in
Bram Stoker's Dracula http://tinyurl.com/mxpt8ge
and this Mina is exactly what the fragrance embodies for me, telling her story.
http://tinyurl.com/pp49u5g
Innocence that senses evil, seduction, longing, desire, ruin, sacrifice, struggle, redemption through love. I find the fragrance at times very morbid.
DRAMA:)
The longevity is great, the scent profile is not overwhelming. For patchouli lovers of both genders, a must.
A not too heavy, classically elegant patchouli - spicy oriental,
with a gourmand touch, which reminds me of the Baldi fragrances.

Chocolate Excites
Sorrisos' top note hits me hard and first brings more question marks than
smiles to my face. Indeed, it smells perversely of root filling, of chlorphenol-
camphor-menthol. I also take in the drunken Auer tree trunks
http://tinyurl.com/lazpk95 that are blissfully bathing in a liter of Eskimo chocolate ice cream,
but more like a quiet promise that pain will be followed by reward.
Shrill vanilla, accompanied by a cyanide-like persipan note, as if you were sticking your nose
into a cracked peach/apricot kernel. No quiet entrance, and in this
phase the sillage is remarkable, yet as overwhelming as the scent initially threatens to
overwhelm you, it quickly retreats to a skin-close presence. The rapid development
from top note to heart note is adrenaline, as much as I didn’t like it,
I was sure it wouldn’t work out between us, after 5ml of Sorriso I am ready and I must
get back on the roller coaster again! And great, it works with every spray anew :D
After half an hour, Sorriso is tamed and from then on I can smile, knowing
smiling. The heart note brings a light carbolic/marzipan mushroom note,
but not like I know it from Oxiana, so really very delicate, not dominant, but
still clearly perceptible for sure 2 hours.
Sorriso does not stand still, seems linear but is multifaceted, is equally sweet,
as it is bitter, equally woody as creamy, as if it couldn’t decide:)
the scent slowly glides from this phase into a creamy/mellow base of cashemeran
and sandalwood. The indistinct bitter note I only perceive here as orange
zest, it now smells exactly like Rehab Body Butter from Rodial.
Sorriso is an interesting, mature, rather serious, bittersweet,
light cocoa gourmand, that one only smiles at once they know it better;)
A Profumum Roma fragrance that stands well beside Vanitas/ Dulcis/ Dolce Acqua,
which for me are the edible;) of the PR scents and a cocoa scent was indeed due.
For me clearly unisex and also nice to wear on a summer evening. The
longevity is good, not very good like that of Vanitas or Dolce Acqua, the
sillage after half an hour is moderate, heading towards skin close.
And yes dear Mrs. T->error, Lotti -----> terrible was yesterday, today I’m into it;D
heartfelt thanks for the donation:*

zest, it now smells exactly like Rehab Body Butter from Rodial.
Sorriso is an interesting, mature, rather serious, bittersweet,
light cocoa gourmand, that one only smiles at once they know it better;)
A Profumum Roma fragrance that stands well beside Vanitas/ Dulcis/ Dolce Acqua,
which for me are the edible;) of the PR scents and a cocoa scent was indeed due.
For me clearly unisex and also nice to wear on a summer evening. The
longevity is good, not very good like that of Vanitas or Dolce Acqua, the
sillage after half an hour is moderate, heading towards skin close.
And yes dear Mrs. T->error, Lotti -----> terrible was yesterday, today I’m into it;D
heartfelt thanks for the donation:*
