... reveals to me Tonka Sesame.

A still warm Hanuta, to develop with the famous Kneipp winter care, featuring the unpronounceable nut, called: 'Cupuaçu' nut, which according to Google is native to Brazil and gives the scent a viscous, slightly buttery cocoa-like consistency, complemented by a cozy, subtly bright spicy lactonic warm nuance reminiscent of 'sesame bread' that glides into an almost unnoticed warm deep, softly reddish-brown, freshly earthy sandalwood~patchouli scent trail.

Overall, the scent lasts 9 hours on my skin.

The sillage is 2 at a clear 1.5 meters and 2 hours at a very distinct full, viscous arm's length.

Shalimar L'Essence begins very softly vintage, yet modern at the same time, revealing the following scent profile to me:

She sits in front of the mirror and has just finished her daytime routine, enveloped in a bright, powdery floral, 'Iris ~ Day Cream ~ nuance, only to later receive, almost unrecognizably, a very dense, floral 'rosy nuance along with an indescribable hint of something very delicate floral, wrapped in a smoothly creamy 'Vanilla ~ note that fades away with ever softer tones.

'Bergamot was unfortunately not recognizable for my Paleocortex :-)

Overall, the scent lasts 9 hours on my skin.

The sillage was designed to be distinctly 2 meters for 2 hours and then very noticeably, gradually calming to an arm's length for 3 hours.

"@VerenaK92" - Thank you for the sample! :-)

Cappadocia starts off intensely for me, with mahogany-colored, body-warm 'saffron ~ leather that is interwoven with fine ebony-colored streaks in the background, giving the scent a pulsating quality that can also be felt.

A little later, the saffron ~ leather becomes somewhat muted, but is still distinctly perceptible and merges with a deep, floral-gripping aura that briefly touches the bloom of a 'rose and a lightly powdery, noble 'iris ~ lotion-like enveloping cloud.

As the scent develops further, one notices that in very background and increasingly panther-like creeping nuances, a very deep, almost cake-like 'vanilla reveals itself and rolls into a naturally cloudy, honey-like balsamic, milk chocolate 'benzoin ~ incense until the scent fades away.

'Jasmine ~ Absolute, 'myrrh, and Australian 'sandalwood were unfortunately rejected by my paleocortex :-)

Overall, the scent lasts 10 hours on my skin.

The sillage is designed for 1.5 hours at 1 meter and 3.5 hours at a very noticeable full arm's length before it gradually diminishes to the scent's conclusion.

"@Eby97~ Thank you very much for the decant!"

It is a pleasant July morning, the sun is already emitting fine heat waves through the still somewhat scattered cloudy sky.

Even from several meters away, I catch a very familiar scent - and I can even hear it.

There’s a slightly dusty, sandy note, along with a subtly sweet fecal hint and the recurring sound of the excavator's exhaust.

Just 3...4 steps to reach the end of the road, and suddenly I find myself right in the middle:

Construction site!

"The diligent construction workers; the correct designation is unknown to me, but probably something with 'manager' in the job title, have prepared everything, and of course I suddenly find myself in front of a sea of these white-red striped plastic roadblocks."

The excavator is also turned off for this phenomenal moment - absolute silence.

A very extremely dense, slightly smoky biting, balsamic sweet, dirty scent still lingers in the air.

The clouds have completely cleared, revealing a radiant blue sky and allowing the sun to showcase its full potential...

The pouring can now commence:

A crackling, swirling, intensely voluminous, very smoothly appearing tar-like scent is now noticeable.

Extremely thick and viscous, sweetly sticky, extremely dark rubbery, black leathery bitter, it surprisingly rolls its way very delicately.

As the tar, which glitters matte in the sunlight, spreads, small, medium, and even large air bubbles can be seen in the mass, which are directly buried and simultaneously renewed by the next new surge.

A few hours later, the road construction is completed.

The new road has been smoothed out and is now completely cooled down, receiving a very delicate, resinous balsamic touch to the leathery bitter scent finale.

*Indian spikenard, caramel, and labdanum were unfortunately rejected by my paleocortex.

Overall, the scent lasts 10 hours on my skin.

The sillage is designed to be clearly 1.5 meters for 2 hours and a very distinct whole arm's length for 3 hours, before it gradually reduces to the scent's conclusion.

"Shamus, I sincerely thank you for the generous sample!"

H24 Eau de Toilette begins with a typical, freshly washed 'laundry note' that has been lightly warmed by the sun, exuding very fine, freshly sweet ethereal, greenish herb-spicy 'sage nuances that will make the heart of every "iron hater" skip a beat, because:

"Eventually, you find yourself in a situation where you need an iron to get shirts, for example, wrinkle-free, because otherwise, they look extremely crummy, and I used to just sit on them for 2 minutes and ended up with roughly the same result :-)

With "H24 (Eau de Toilette) | Hermès," this is absolutely no longer necessary, as you are perfectly equipped with this dry yet warm, flickering, steamy, light creamy floral 'daffodil tone, which I like to call mono and experiential scents, and you can wonderfully watch how the laundry, with a very subtle, delicately light pink and medium brown 'rosewood nuance, smooths itself out until the scent fades!" :-)

'Sclarene was unfortunately rejected by my paleocortex :-)

Overall, the scent lasts 9 hours on my skin

The sillage is designed to be very noticeably present for a whole arm's length for 4 hours before it gradually diminishes until the scent fades.
