First of all, I must say that I am not at all a fan of spicy, woody, or green scents. That's why I was quite shocked when I sprayed it for the first time (after receiving the sought-after sample).
Today, a few days later, I thought to myself, it can't be true that I consciously ordered this, so I sprayed it again and read through the fragrance pyramid.
Mmh, I must have mixed something up; I couldn't have seen this pyramid beforehand, because otherwise, I wouldn't have ordered it for testing.
Well, it's here, and I'm sniffing it for a while now.
The first spray was also unpleasant and indefinable for me today.
However, that settles down quite quickly, and I perceive a spicy pine. I think that's the cardamom.
It's like a walk in the woods-not too early, not too late... maybe early afternoon, at moderate temperatures. Not too grassy and not in autumn.
Over time, it becomes warmer, and the vanilla and cedar come to the fore for me..
Now I almost like it; at least I find it cozy and comfortable, with a hint of fresh herbal pine. For me, the vanilla becomes increasingly intense, which I personally find nice. Patchouli is consistently present for me.
I couldn't find the bergamot in the opening; actually, nothing defined at all, which unfortunately just made my nose wrinkle. I also don't perceive any blackcurrant or similar.
But if we set aside the opening and the fact that I personally have really just misjudged this, I find the blend of a spicy, vanillic, warm, aromatic herbal forest not so bad at all.
Just not for me.
However, it develops for me after about 1 hour back to exactly the scent of the first spray, only much flatter and more subdued; I just don't know what it is, but it makes me feel nauseous and unfortunately makes the whole thing unbearable again.
As a gourmand or creamy scent, I don't perceive it at all, despite the warm vanilla, and the citrus doesn't come through for me either.
Please understand the review as coming from someone who is at home in a completely different fragrance family.

This one was also a blind buy..
It starts off very piercing and then becomes a bit softer. I can only pick out the rose and a sour mandarin.. later there's a bit of pepper... the piercing quality remains for me... it lasts only a short time on my skin and the sillage isn't really noticeable either...

Basically, it's an ordinary scent that you can find here and there.. and one that I wouldn't have bought if I had tested it beforehand..

Now for the positive: it’s only actually ordinary... depending on what you focus on while sniffing... the initially piercing note reminds me of Gucci Envy Me.. which I also only liked after some initial difficulties and not for long-term wear.. However, I would have liked to have it again for occasional use...

And that's exactly what it's good for with a bit of imagination :-)

After I recently saw it lonely and neglected in the back corner, I really felt a bit ashamed... The bottle is still half full and I just forgot about it... this doesn't usually happen to me ;-)

I then wondered why... This fragrance accompanied me for many years and I always thought it was great. I always perceived it as feminine, fruity, and sensual and wore it up and down... then I took breaks in between and I bought this bottle about a year ago...
Why is it still half full and, above all, why did I really forget that I still have it...
I just sprayed it again, yes, not bad but it just doesn't excite me anymore... whether it's due to habituation, the advancing age (although I don't really believe in age groups for fragrances)...
I don't know..
I would have really liked to write a more heartfelt review for it because I think it deserves that... but unfortunately, our time is over..
I read further down that it has been reformulated and that's why it lacks fullness... yes, I also remember it being much fuller and really evoking something...
Yes, maybe that's the reason
...
Still, I wish it all the best, it deserves it.. we had great times together...

I bought Warm Cotton because I was so curious about a true laundry scent...but secretly hoped for a creamy fragrance..

That became clear to me at least when I wore it for the first time...It really smells like fabric softener...
I didn't expect that surprise ;-)

Well, it does its job well. Not like the fabric softener I use, but yes, a good fabric softener...floral, aquatic, fresh, sweet, and cotton...

I then applied it very generously twice around the family and also applied it to my clothes in addition to my skin...
There was no reaction from anyone...

The second time I subtly asked for opinions on my new perfume... There was a raised eyebrow and only the response that they smell my laundry detergent but nothing else, but that's good :-)
So, job done, it smells like good fresh laundry...
However, for me, it's simply not a perfume.

I like the scent, but just like when I'm happy about the fresh laundry from the dryer...
But I am a total perfume fan and would still feel the need to wear something else.
This is just laundry.
I then used the scent to occasionally spread it on the bath mat or after tidying up or cleaning around the apartment... that was really nice, but in times when there are room fragrances in all possible forms, it's a bit impractical since it only lasts 1 to 2 hours...
I still have some left for spring cleaning :-)
After that, I won't buy it for myself anymore, but for anyone who really wants to smell like fresh laundry, this is really the right choice from my perspective.

Addendum: I applied it to my skin and clothes last night to say something about its longevity...
On my skin, it was at least perceptible for 5 hours (then I went to sleep :-)) ..and the clothes still smell intensely of it today...

Armani She has been accompanying me (with a few breaks) for about 15-20 years now. For quite a long time, I have been using it almost exclusively before going to sleep or in situations where I want to feel warm and relaxed. It simply has a totally calming effect on me and is practically found in my "home pharmacy" ;-)

At the beginning, I perceive lime, pineapple, pear, and bergamot. But only if I sniff closely to identify something. Jasmine, amber, and vanilla are also present for me. However, I usually don't dissect it at all. I find that nothing really pushes itself to the forefront.
For me, it is a thoroughly successful creamy and slightly powdery scent. I find it extremely pleasant, never intrusive or inappropriate, and when I wear it (rarely) outside the house, I apply it on body lotion to make it a bit more lasting.
The sillage is not mega, but for the type of fragrance, it is suitable for me, and the longevity with cream underneath is about 4 hours for me.

For me, one of the most beautiful sleep fragrances.
But that doesn't mean it's only suitable for that. I find that "neutral" it fits everywhere. In everyday life just as much as in a restaurant :-)
