Mermademan

I am the proud owner of the Enigma from the first days and still think that the top note is the best I have ever smelled... but now it's suddenly getting tight - not directly but essentially because of the Oceania:
After the layering of Oceania pimped the Blue Talisman from a naja (felt 7) to a wow (at least 9), I simply followed my nose and subjected other fresh'n fruitys in my (sample) collection to a treatment with Roja's ultra-complex water. The result knocked my socks off. For example, what Oceania brings out of the already fabulous LVs (tested with Imagination and Afternoon Swim; the latter is actually far too sweet for me) is, for me, great cinema on the verge of magic. It's like putting a crown on these fragrances. Sweetness and fruitiness become more subtle, freshness and depth increase exponentially with the number of Roja Dove's exquisite ingredients, without being overwhelming. Especially with the top note, I can hardly take my nose off my wrist. My dear Scholli...
Should definitely be tested by those whose range allows such decadent experiments.

'Lucky me...' I thought to myself after the sample seemed appealing but didn't even begin to trigger a buying reflex. Too sweet, too synthetic, as if wrapped in a sticky, warm powdery blanket... - not for me.
Well... that was before the evening. Before I had the idea of atomizing a top layer for depth and freshness on top of the dried-out stain of Ex Nihilo. There may now be an outcry from the community, accusing me of being a philistine, a bungler and who knows what else, more or less justifiably... but after I covered the sweetness of the pear with a layer of Oceania, it was evening. I'll have to get the Talisman for better or worse - even if the children are starving...
