Hairdresser Scent
As soon as I leave the Herr Noland hairdresser, my hair smells the way it doesn't at home after washing. Unless I use this (so hard for me to pronounce) perfume. For me, it has that fresh-from-the-hairdresser character. Although that's rather unlikely with the fragrance composition. Or my hairdresser uses fruity kiwi-melon shampoo.
Moreover, the perfume doesn't smell fruity-sweet like a fruit salad to me, but rather peacefully-sweet and actually clean, just like freshly washed hair from the hairdresser. Maybe I should ask Herr Noland about the shampoo brand...
And what is honestly to be criticized at that price is this black, ribbed, and clunky plastic cap. Cap: yuck! Scent: wow!

Where is that pink plastic egg?
So there I was in the drugstore, buying for the fourth time the perfume that has adorned my perfume corner since I was 15. Although "adorned" might not be the right word here - rather a terrible plastic something that you can hardly take out of your bag in broad daylight without being 12 years old (that's how I probably saw it back then). But at least that didn't stop me from bringing this little fragrance home 3 more times.
So I went to the checkout, full of anticipation for the scent of "the past," and barely through the front door, I opened the package. And held this pink cone-shaped bottle in my hand. Meanwhile, in the drugstore, my familiar pink plastic egg was still there as a tester! Panicking, I sprayed it on my wrist and immediately recognized: that's it! A lot of musk with vanilla. The contents were still the same, and I can't detect any difference from the predecessor; maybe just because I still don't have a professional nose for perfumes. When I look at my perfume shelf in the meantime, I almost feel a bit sentimental about the old plastic egg, as this bottle design is simply dull and, unlike its predecessor, has zero recognition value. The scent definitely has that: fresh, light, and vanillic sweetness that is by no means heavy and lasts long on the skin, which many of my expensive perfumes can't even come close to achieving. And on top of that, musk!

Hair Spray Water
and in a positive sense!
This will be my first Parfumo comment on one of the perfumes where I asked the saleswoman for a fresh showered/clean/pure scent. Because I think I can definitely count myself among the Parfumo members who enjoy clean fragrances.
And this one is definitely one of those for me; the lady in the perfume shop really hit the nail on the head. The scent initially reminded me of the old Pantene Pro-V hairspray (that was my thought!), which I liked very much. Very fresh, delicate, a bit sweet with a hint of synthetics and - somehow bright. Like the color and the bottle of the little water. And here we are at the keyword: little water. It’s so light that after a quarter of an hour, it’s hardly recognizable; even on fabrics and scarves, you can barely smell it later. Only in the hair does it still have a slight scent in the evening when combing, and that’s only because I didn’t hold back while spraying.
I would say this is a fragrance that one could use all the time, but probably not if you want to be "smellable" for yourself and others. And the bottle is really beautiful and simple, which perfectly matches the scent itself.
