I did everything right. No, I really can’t blame myself. I first used up my sample, then a decant, and only afterwards fished out a used bottle of Ninfeo Mio from the bay. How could I still be misled? But let’s start from the beginning... ......

From spicy mysterious to curry to caramel dessert. That is Eau Noire. If the fragrance only delivered what it promises at the beginning, then everything would be fine. Eau Noire would be the magic potion, the "Poison," the mysterious little...

I am not a fan of heavy oriental perfumes. And to be honest (and I know that this statement puts my perfumista affiliation at risk), I am also not a fan of Ormonde Jayne fragrances. I had the sample...

Ferre is for me the perfect dupe for Iris Poudre by Frederic Malle: a floral-soapy iris that presents itself very elegantly. Just a glance at the fragrance notes and the (same) perfumer shows the similarity between the two perfumes. However,...

From a perfume house like Amouage, I expect a lot: good quality, no run-of-the-mill fragrance, and above all, no liquid that smells as if the perfumer had dissolved his confused inner life in it. Unfortunately, this is the case here. Interlude...

I, the flower girl, was on the lookout for a beautiful orange blossom. Somehow, I stumbled upon APOM pour femme from Maison Francis Kurkdjian. It was amazing! I was smitten with my sample, so sunny, floral, yet fresh and creamy at the same time......

Méchant Loup? On the skin, the scent does not seem evil at all. A wolf? Yes, perhaps the wolf fits well. But evil? No. My perception is different and it develops almost by itself, the longer Méchant Loup is on the skin:...

Jacomo #08 is a small fine masterpiece. It is wonderful in autumn and winter because I feel embraced and secure in the scent. I can lean back and enjoy this cozy, soft warmth. The scent texture is still pleasantly light, so I won't overwhelm anyone...

I treasure my little sampler of Epic Woman like a gem. Now and then, I take a whiff and enjoy the scent. So expensive and precious. Epic Woman is a super beautiful fragrance for a super strong woman. For warrior women and fighter spirits....
