The sky is overcast with heavy dark clouds, it's stormy, leaves are dancing wildly through the air, rain is beating against the window panes. What fragrance am I wearing today? "Instant Crush | Mancera" fits perfectly. Ginger, saffron and citrus create a warm, spicy, slightly tangy start. Jasmine and amber add a warm, floral sweetness. I barely notice rose. Vanilla and white musk form a sweet, slightly spicy, very soft base. Oak moss adds something green.
This fragrance envelops me warmly and is just right for the uncomfortable time of year. Quite sweet, but in my opinion men can also wear this fragrance well due to the ginger and oakmoss.
H/S are really very good. For me between 8 and 9.

The fragrance pyramid is very clear and didn't appeal to me at first. I would suspect something old-fashioned behind it.
Only the many positive reviews and statements aroused my interest.
I have now tested "Black Tie | Celine" extensively several times and I just love it.
The fragrance is rather delicate and quiet, pleasantly soft and very elegant.
A really great vanilla fragrance that is not too sweet. The iris butter blends so beautifully with the vanilla. The musk is wonderfully soft. I detect cedar discreetly and tree moss gives the whole thing a very light green hint.
I find the price a little exaggerated.

With an extra discount code, I wanted to order "La Capitale | XerJoff" from Xerjoff as an early birthday present. A fragrance of which I had bought a bottling and which I like very much. Unfortunately, it was sold out.
I actually wanted to get a bottle of "Via Cavour 1 | XerJoff" here in the souk. I always test a fragrance before I treat myself to a bottle.
Apparently I needed a little thrill or my sanity was on a short vacation. I simply ordered a bottle of "Via Cavour 1 | XerJoff". Shortly after placing my order, I regretted it. A lot of money for me and what if I don't like the fragrance?
A short time later, I received a shipping confirmation by e-mail. Discomfort spread. Now there was no turning back.
A few days later, the package arrived. Normally, I wouldn't be able to get my acquisition out of the package quickly enough. This time I took my time. Struggled with myself. But now the parcel was already here. So I took the beautiful bottle of "Via Cavour 1 | XerJoff" out of its pretty packaging and sprayed it twice on my wrist, waited briefly and sniffed. I noticed quince intensely and peach subtly in the background. It immediately brought back fond childhood memories ️ My grandma always made the world's best quince jelly. I could never get enough of it and a jar of it was always used up quickly. I just love the smell of quinces and I still love quince jelly. I did a little dance of joy

After a while, rose and berries join the quince and peach. The fragrance becomes more refined and rounded.
Dark chocolate flares up from time to time and takes away some of the sweetness.
Amber, vanilla and musk envelop everything in a soft, sweet cloud and give me a feeling of security.
Fortunately, I don't notice any oud.

I love "Via Cavour 1 | XerJoff". A very complex, round, well-tuned, warm-hearted gourmand (which doesn't make you feel like a walking dessert) that brings back fond childhood memories for me.

I was so excited about my bottle of "Coco Mademoiselle (Eau de Parfum) | Chanel" that I really wanted a bottle.
When I looked at the current souks, there was an almost full 30 ml bottle of "Coco Mademoiselle (Eau de Parfum Intense) | Chanel" and without hesitation I announced my interest via Messenger. A few days later, the letter carrier handed me a small parcel, which I ran up the stairs with, almost tripped over my plush monster, who had been waiting outside the door with the letter carrier and slipped straight in to make himself comfortable on the sofa, then on to the kitchen to free and admire my "Coco Mademoiselle (Eau de Parfum Intense) | Chanel" bottle with the help of a pair of scissors. Such a beautiful bottle, so simple, yet classy and elegant. I had to test my acquisition straight away. The atomizer is a dream. The fragrance settled on my skin in a fine mist. A fresh, sparkling, invigorating aura surrounded me. But after just a few minutes, jasmine and rose add a soft floral elegance.
The DD is wonderfully warm-hearted, softly sweet and spicy. Vanilla and tonka bean complement each other perfectly.
For me, "Coco Mademoiselle (Eau de Parfum Intense) | Chanel" is a beautiful, feminine, elegant fragrance. Never too little and never too much. Just right.

I bought a bottle from a very dear perfumer. I recently moved in a bottle I had just started.
As this was my first Guerlain fragrance, I had no idea what to expect. A few days after receiving it, I tested "Shalimar Philtre de Parfum | Guerlain" and immediately found the fragrance very interesting.
Lavender is immediately very prominent. For me as a lavender lover, this is a very good start ️ Lemon and bergamot are gradually added. A very invigorating trio ️
Over time, powdery iris and soft jasmine join in and lend the fragrance a pleasant softness. Later, vanilla and tolu balsam gradually take over. Even after 12 hours, I can still easily perceive the warm, spicy-sweet vanilla.
"Shalimar Philtre de Parfum | Guerlain" is a really great fragrance, which in my opinion suits every season and can be worn in everyday life, in the office, in the evening and on many occasions. I wear it at home when I make myself comfortable in my "feel-good clothes". But it's also the perfect companion when I'm out and about in more elegant clothes.
