Nefretem

We perfume addicts are quite a special species... do you know that feeling when you have to have a scent because you've never smelled anything like it before? ...not that you think it's great or even want to wear it, but simply for the reason that you want it in your collection like Grenouille! That's how I felt about Confetti... I love it when perfumes take me away, evoke images, tell a story! The opening is shrill, I can't think of another word for it! Green and powdery... and then comes this dusty floral violet scent from my childhood... the one from the little hill right behind the house... I remember kneeling in front of it as a child and sniffing those little purple flowers. My mom brews a mocha coffee and brings it to the porch. The scent is carried to me by a warm summer breeze and mingles with my violet world... on the way to the porch, a small whiff of the little rose buds wafts towards me... I found this memory in the bottle and I won't let it go!

This perfume really took me on a journey... The first impression already evokes various images in my mind... a compote of dried plums refined with rum and cinnamon... vigorously stirred, and a syrupy sweet veil comes forth... the whole thing is simmering on an old stove fueled by wood! I perceive slightly smoky notes like a fine tobacco rising to my nose... The entire ensemble concludes with resinous sweet balsamic tones! Intense impressions that gently glide away, making you want to spray it on again and again... Rarely does a perfume manage to tell such stories that I love to listen to over and over!

There are scents in my collection that I have more "endured" than "worn." I absolutely had to test how "it" develops on my skin! Today, after a long journey, I know better! I am not a fan of unisex fragrances. I love well-groomed and sexy, sometimes even sultry compositions... I wore Delina in spring and summer and received compliments like never before. That's why it was allowed to move in exclusively! I must say the first impression was not a wow... it reminded me a bit of the RoseJam body spray from Lush. However, Exclusiv develops much finer... simply delicious, soft, and by no means piercing! For me, it is a soft, rounded, feminine, powdery-sugar rose-scented fragrance! I love it on me and enjoy still perceiving the scent cloud after hours while showering! I could bathe in it!

Yes, yes, I would have liked to believe that! The first spray was a wave of excitement that washed over me. I thought, "Oh, how super sexy is this?!" Of course, I had to add a bottle to my collection! Once home, I applied the full-body spray again and off I went for a walk in the woods... that's how I always test my "new" fragrances. After an active hour, most of them show their true face... aha, suddenly the Firstlove veil disappeared and I found parallels... I've already had this, I actually don't need it again!

This flanker reminds me a lot of Rouge Malachite and Alien Fusion in the drydown. Well, it's not bad; it gets used from time to time ;)

The first spray immediately put a smile on my face. My blind purchase was successful... how many times have I had a “well, it’s okay but nothing special” or even worse “oh dear, we won’t be friends”? This time it was this combination of citrusy leathery opening that brought the first wow to my nose... almost a bit piercing but in a wonderful way... in the development of the scent, I clearly smell the cherry blossom similar to Sakura from Rituals, which I also find absolutely beautiful... the longevity is extraordinary and it leaves a soft creamy floral base for hours. I think it’s great for late summer/autumn as it is, overall, powdery and expressive.
