The Journey into Fire
I have come to know a few perfumes that smell of ash and fire - burnt and hot - through some samples, and I have now acquired several of this kind.
Fan Your Flames is one of them - and I must say at this point that I personally find this scent simply incredible.
Initially strongly smoky, fresh from the sprayer, the scent is somewhat of an acquired taste, and it takes a while for it to develop on my skin. However, then coconut and tonka come to the fore, mixed with the wood and the strong rum note that runs through the entire fragrance, making it a bit sweeter - I would almost say pleasing, even though I know that this type of scent is not for everyone.
The longevity is brutal on my skin. It easily lasts all day, and the sillage is - sometimes to the lament of those around me - also very, very good - but since this is my current favorite scent, I admit that I sometimes apply it quite heavily.
A fragrance, a bit like a dwarf tavern. Smoky, tobacco-heavy... and the strong alcohol first... but still, one is tempted to sit down on old wooden benches next to the fire - to order a strong schnapps and some sweet cakes from the somewhat grim, tough innkeeper.

Luxurious Oud Rose of the Elegant Kind
This fragrance is one of my favorite Oud Roses - a combination that must not be missing from an oriental collection.
Only here, I find that this particular combination has turned out slightly better than in many others - a bit lighter - not so aggressive Oud, rather a lighter spice, with a woody musk base - all enveloped by a warm rose.
The price-performance ratio is also top-notch, and there is nothing to criticize about the sillage and longevity. Guerlain has delivered here.
Definitely one of the better Oud Rose fragrances, spicy, but in my opinion not too intrusive. Perfect for winter and autumn - simply to feel good and warm - whether at home on the couch or outside on a date.

Fleeting Melon - Such a Shame
Why? Because I find the scent very summery - Fresh, and you can smell, albeit quite synthetically, the melon among the other notes. I find it very pleasant, I would even say that I prefer it, in terms of scent, to some perfumes that cost a bit more...
Unfortunately, it suffers from the CK-One disease... it doesn't last, and it hardly projects. With this scent, it feels even a bit worse than with the regular one - Although I must also mention that this was my first attempt to try one of the many CK Summer fragrances - On a friend's recommendation.
