MalibuMoon

While searching for another perfume, I accidentally came across this bottle. I hadn't even missed it and had forgotten how it smells.
I have the habit of occasionally picking up fragrances from the budget segment while shopping, simply out of curiosity about how they might smell, whether they are possibly dupes, etc. I think you understand...

A timid spray on my forearm - you never know what to expect - and, yes, immediately clear: Angel.
(I wore Angel when it first came out, so identifying it was no problem)

The fragrance notes listed by Street Looks for this scent correspond 1:1 to those of Angel (Thierry Mugler):

Top notes: Bergamot, Jasmine, Cassia, Coconut, Mandarin, Melon, Cotton Candy
Heart notes: Apricot, Blackberry, Honey, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Orchid, Peach, Plum, Rose, Red Berries
Base notes: Amber, Caramel, Musk, Patchouli, Chocolate, Tonka Bean, Vanilla

And that’s exactly how the perfume smells, just like Angel, only flatter, much less intense (which doesn’t necessarily have to be a disadvantage), the individual components are not as easily distinguishable in scent.
A very small little angel, but you can clearly see what it wants to become when it grows up.

I myself haven't worn Angel in a long time. It no longer suits me, and my fragrance preferences have changed. I gifted the bottle "La Creation pour Femme," and the new owner wears it often and happily.
And yes, there are also compliments for the wearer when she wears the scent.
Longevity and sillage are less than the original.
My timid test spray was no longer detectable after about 4 hours. For the recipient, it lasts - with normal application - quite a bit longer (about 6 hours).
Where Angel can be aggressively intrusive to its surroundings, this scent stays close to its wearer but is still quite noticeable.
So, for anyone looking to preserve their original bottle a bit and seeking a very affordable, tame little angel that is definitely suitable for daytime: Here it is.

I like powdery scents. So it was only a matter of time before I took TdN for a spin.
But even though I expected a powder scent, it surprised me with its monster performance.
TdN makes an impression, a powerful one at that.
It is unmistakable and stands out.
Fortunately, I didn’t make the mistake of wearing this fragrance to work in the morning during my first test. That was actually my original plan. But then I quickly read up on Parfumo again and decided to test it in the evening just to be safe.

So, one spray, a deep breath, and my first association: Christmas? Winter? And then: Snowstorm! Powder is falling like snow. Big flakes, more and more, falling heavier and stormier, I feel enveloped.
Help, how can I turn this off? No chance! TdN sticks to me, and I want to endure it to get to know it.
It’s too intense! Terrible! Never again!
I can well imagine that such a performance won’t make it a friend to everyone.
But after a while, it becomes gradually calmer, more cuddly, gentler, truly cozy, wonderful…Ylang Ylang, Heliotrope, Tonka…beautifully intertwined as a fragrant powder.

The sillage is all-encompassing. It has enormous strength and continues to project through a large apartment. The longevity is also pronounced. I could still smell it well on my arm the next morning.
It lingers on clothing for many days.

The next day, I catch myself pulling out the worn sweater that had contact with the perfume, pressing my nose into it, closing my eyes, and taking a deep breath. You know what this means: It has made an impression.
TdN is addictive!!
I want to experience the swaying of the fragrance molecules, these powdery snowflakes around me, again.

Teint de Neige is very economical, as a little perfume already achieves a great effect.

When to wear it? Since my first spontaneous thought was “winter,” I would say that this is probably the most suitable season.
But by now, I also know how to dose it so that it doesn’t surprise me again with its monster performance. Therefore, I could imagine that, when dosed discreetly, it is actually wearable all the time, even in summer.
A warm summer evening, sitting outside, and now and then a few molecules of “Teint de Neige” waft by, that fits, because TdN, the precious powder dream, is not just a monster, it is also very romantic…

I got a sample of this fragrance rather by chance. On my own initiative, I probably wouldn't have paid attention to this scent, as the notes included don't necessarily fall into my preferred category.
This is not a flat pine needle bubble bath scent.
Right from the first sniff. What is that? It smells fantastic:
Spring forest, fresh leaves, growing wood, somewhere a tree has been felled. I can distinctly smell the resin and the aromatic scents that emanate from freshly cut wood.
The fragrance is very finely woven, nothing clumsy, rather ethereal, subtle. You can almost feel the scent molecules floating lightly around you.
Fresh-aromatic, not intrusive, noble…
Also very nice on clothing, for example, on a scarf; I spent days burying my nose deep in it to inhale the last remnants of this noble scent.
Longevity and sillage are impeccable.
A recommended season is rather difficult to determine from my perspective. To me, it smells like spring, so I would prefer this season. But otherwise, it’s probably more individually determined when one likes this scent combination.
Price-wise, it’s in the higher segment.
I like it! Even though Trudon II is not a fragrance I would want to wear constantly and on every occasion.
I will definitely have to sniff it more closely again!
