Peppermint Princess
"In a garden paradise was lost, in a garden we shall find it again"
"Blaise Pascal"
Florabotancia was on my watch list for a long time. The design of the bottle is refreshingly different. The box is so enchantingly designed, it's hard to put down.
The mint, however, kept me away until now. Florabotanica is not available everywhere and a blind purchase I did not want to dare. A dear Parfuma put a small sample with a filling and so it came that I could test Florabotanica yet and what can I say, ordered the next day.
Florabotanica makes me think of my childhood in the Allgäu. To the lush meadows that were full of flowers in the spring. Of the brook near our house at and in which we constantly played to the chagrin of our mother. Of the brook mint that grew there and the little dams we built there. Of the little fish we tried to catch and of how we got filthy and wet in the tub. Also of how we made wreaths out of all the flowers and felt like princesses. All of which Florabotanica suddenly awakens in me. How strange we humans are. Since such a little bottle suddenly puts one 30 years back in time.
Florabotanica begins with a powdery floral rush, which makes you think of finely crushed dried flowers. The mint prevents the powderiness from seeming stale. A tiny bit, the beginning reminds me of the CD deodorant Water Lily, which I used for a long time. The dreaded peppermint is wonderfully interwoven with the florals and woods, and is barely noticeable as a standalone. The scent is like walking through a blooming garden in May.
When this first rush of flowers has calmed down, a beautiful rosy and at the same time creamy fragrance cloud develops, which should captivate all rose lovers. This creamy rose aura surprisingly accompanies me for hours. At some point, the scent becomes milder, but the rose remains.
What I particularly like is that there is no lemon in it. In many rose fragrances, lemon is used, but this tends to overpower the rose. There are also no heavy woods or vanilla in it again but clove and vetiver. The clove supports the rose and gives a little spice and vetiver provides the necessary depth and probably also the durability and coolness of Florabotanica. By this coolness Florabotanica is especially suitable for the warmer months wonderful.
For a rather delicate fragrance, the durability is amazing. Despite the powder at the beginning, Florabotanica is a very young and uncomplicated fragrance. A magical companion for a whole workday and for me one of the most beautiful floral fragrances in my collection.

Night scent
Cuir de Nuit is one of the new fragrances from the series launched in 2019
"la Collection Eau de Parfum" in the unified design. For this, Rocher has taken to the chagrin of many fans as good as all other fragrances from the range.
This makes things easier for the company. Since Rocher predominantly Dupes of large smells on the market brings must be able to react fast. The one fragrance out, another comes for it in the program.
The variety Rocher had earlier is probably too expensive in the long run. Because of the prescription development up to the packing Design must be settled everything twice. One could observe this standardization already with Guerlain. A rascal who thinks evil of it. The result of this streamlining is an unfortunately unattractive bottle with a cheap plastic lid. The could be so also in the Edeka or otherwise a well-stocked supermarket.
The creations are velvet and sonders to the common sales hits. It is also advertised with great perfumers. It must be clear that you get with such a Fläschlein no olfactory highlight with high-quality ingredients. But what can the customer expect when he buys Cuir de Nuit? With leather I think of sensual hours or an elegant day fragrance.
The name is unfortunately richly misleading. Who expects a dark, sensual or even erotic fragrance here will be disappointed. Cuir de Nuit is not a nocturnal erotic leather or a sensual Tom Ford Violet Blonde, nor a neat Bottega Venetta, but a warm and soft chocolate fragrance. That's not bad per se, but it's not leather. Cuir de Nuit meets the current preference for sweet in fragrances. After the initial alcohol note, it immediately smells powdery chocolatey, soft and warm. Milk chocolate with a hint of coffee and vanilla filling. Delicious, gently enveloping and soft. The scent has something of body care products with cocoa butter. It stays on the skin for a very long time and is still noticeable in clothes the next day. The sillage, however, is very limited and the fragrance does not evolve. It remains as it is. This makes him unfortunately also a little boring.
Who likes vanilla warm fragrances is right here but. I wear Cuir de Nuit at the moment very happy at home because he wraps me in a comfortably warm cloud. Together with a vanilla body lotion a great feel-good fragrance for the cool season. For the job, however, he would be too flat for me. The price performance is here in a good range. In the offer you currently get the 100 ml for 30,00, - €. Since you can not complain.
Who likes Narcisso Rodriguez Rouge will also find Cuir de Nuit favor. Its finesse and quality, of course, can not be expected.
Overall, Rocher has not developed with the new fragrances upwards, but is unfortunately again a bit more slipped into the mass market. Nevertheless, one receives with the series current and trendy fragrances or dupes at a budget-friendly price.
Conclusion: A clear buy recommendation for all who like warm vanilla fragrances. Very well suited to layern with Orientals.

Happy birthday, Mr. President...
...breathed Miss Monroe into the mike for J.F. Kennedy's birthday in 1962, wearing probably
Chanel N°5.
Her dress, the cake and the affair with J.F. Kennedy are legend. Since she told a magazine in an interview that she only wore a drop of Chanel N°5 as her nightdress, the success of this fragrance was unstoppable.
The fantasy of millions of women was stimulated and each one wanted to be as sexy as Miss Monroe and smell the same. Chanel N°5 - that was a little piece of luck
I have no idea what the original scent from 1921 smelled like, but today's Chanel No5 is too strong for me. Yeah, and a little old-fashioned in a way, too. But since I was fascinated by the history of fragrance, I decided to look into it to find out what the scent was all about. After all, next year he celebrates his 100th birthday and that has to be appreciated.
In the late summer of 192o, Ernest Beaux began to develop the first perfume for Mademoiselle Chanel. It was intended as a gift for Chanel's clients. It was to be a perfume for a woman with the scent of a woman.
It is still suspected today that he used the perfume he originally created for Tsarina Katharina as the origin of his developments. Mrs. Chanel herself had probably not correctly assessed the perfume business and therefore ceded all rights very early on. It cost her a lot of time and effort to get back into the business. With none of her fragrances she ever achieved such success again.
The aldehydes, which were new to the world of fragrances at the time, are said to be responsible for the radiant freshness of the fragrance. "Radiant freshness" I ask myself now, I cannot recognize it. But then find out that aldehydes above a certain concentration, or when aging, are often perceived as rancid, fishy or old. The dosage in the laboratory must therefore be done with care. The perfume itself must not only be stored in the dark, but should also not get too old. And this is probably where the problem lies: the bottle, which was almost unaffordable at the time, was only used on special occasions and then changed over the years. Exactly then the "Oma Helga" impression is created.
N°5 contains vetiver as one of the first women's fragrances. The sweet grass is usually used in men's perfumes. Like oakmoss, it is found in many Chanel fragrances and is partly responsible for the tart sweetness typical of Chanel. Vetiver is also found in Coco Mademoiselle. Originally this was probably the handwriting of the perfumer Ernest Beaux. It's probably this charm between the many sweet and floral components and the more masculine and tart ingredients that make up the fascination of N°5.
For our noses used to sweet cake smells this is very difficult to understand at first.
For reasons of species protection as well as for reasons of oxidation of various ingredients, the original scent has been adapted again and again and adapted to the standards. These include civet, musk, jasmine or oakmoss. Even if the many so-called reformulations are a thorn in the side of many, I welcome the fact that no animal products such as musk or civet are used any more.
Many people react very strongly to oakmoss and jasmine, and here too, reworking was necessary, which certainly changed the fragrance
Chanel N°5 celebrates its 100th birthday next year. Surely the house of Chanel will celebrate the big birthday in a proper way. Because in spite of the 100 years, N°5 is still at the forefront, and many people associate perfume with this very fragrance.
I have now tested the various N°5 and have actually fallen in love with one: The No5 Eau Premiere. It's not dewy anymore either, but somehow passed me by. For me this is really a fragrance that is out of this world:
The radiant freshness of the aldehydes with the typical hints of orange peel is much more apparent here than in the original. It possesses the lightness that I had wished for. Maybe it was already like this in 1921? Who knows.
N°5 Eau Premiere unmistakably a granddaughter of the famous great grandmother. But it is softer and gentler than its famous ancestor. Therefore it is also much younger and more modern. It's as if a thick layer of the fragrance has been taken.
Somehow I actually have an idea here of what fascinated Ernest Beaux so much: the tingling freshness of the aldhyde at the beginning. It's like carbon dioxide in water.
On the skin, Eau Premiere develops into a fragrance that after a while reminds me of human skin. The way we smelled as children, when we rode our bikes home from the swimming pool, or the smell of a freshly bathed baby. Also to the fresh air at 5.30am when camping in summer or the fresh breeze on our skin after a boat trip. Fresh, warm and soft and after a lot of sunshine. Eau Premiere hardly changes either. After the initial freshness it becomes warm and soft. It remains on the skin like a delicate veil of scent for many hours. Not spectacular, not erotic or oriental heavy. But so good and so beautiful - or as my husband says: It smells of love

Individual beauty
Full of blossoms stands the peach tree
not everyone becomes a fruit,
they shimmer bright like rose foam
through blue and cloud cover.
Thoughts arise like flowers,
a hundred every day -
Let it bloom! Let that thing run!
Don't ask about the yield!
It must also be play and dance
and flower abundance,
otherwise the world would be much too small for us
and life is no pleasure. (H.Hesse)
Nomade starts with a very pleasant floral freshness that immediately reminds you of the fragrant fresh peach and plum blossoms now in spring. The blossom freshness is accompanied by citrus notes, which come out very clearly. The pyramid is wrong here. Later, the fruity sweetness of the mirabelle plum fruit joins in.
Mirabelle, a relative of the peach tree, is the protagonist in this unusual fragrance from Chloe, which becomes milder and more tart with time. The fragrance now becomes green woody floral. The oakmoss with its spice is good to smell, but I also smell sandalwood and patchouli. But the fine sweetness of the mirabelle is present all the time. All in all very complex and very beautifully made. Despite the tart ingredients, Nomade is an extremely feminine and elegant fragrance.
With this modern chypre, Chloe takes a bold step away from gourmet fragrances. When we first met, I had a little trouble with the bitter side of Nomad. And yet - it stayed in my head. This fruity lovely freshness with the beautiful spice and the woody base. Very unusual and therefore striking. Nomade is a timeless fine and cool fragrance that remains unforgettable - the bold scent of a rather headstrong woman. It leaves a cultivated and distinctive impression.
With a medium silage and a shelf life of about 8 hours, Nomade is an excellent office fragrance. The fragrance is wearable all year round, but it is now at its best in spring. Like all Chloe flacons, this one is also beautiful and an adornment in the bathroom. The price is in the mid-range, so re-buying it doesn't hurt that much.
Nomade is my clear recommendation for women who like flowery-woody or flowery-fresh fragrances.

Exotic Quantum Leap
A fragrance full of luminosity writes Chanel on the homepage. It should be warm, flowery, sensual and opulent. This all sounds very promising. But is the smell the same? Has Oliver Polge managed to transport this claim into a bottle? From me it's clear: Yes! Oliver Polge has created a young, contemporary yet elegant fragrance that does justice to the house of Chanel.
With the Gabrielle line Chanel obviously tries to appeal to a younger audience and to shake off the somewhat dusty image.
Even if die-hard fans don't want to see it: The young audience usually thinks of Chanel as "omega fragrances". As beautiful as the old Chanel fragrances were or are, they are no longer contemporary. Younger women can hardly afford the Exclusiv series or do not know it.
To keep up with the market, however, a contemporary fragrance must also be part of the portfolio. Oliver Polge has hit the nerve of the time with his choice of ingredients: Citrus notes and white flowers open the fragrance with their sunny notes. A warm sensual impression is immediately created. Quite quickly, ylang ylang, tuberose and jasmine take over and give the fragrance its sweetness and exotic touch. Later the fragrance becomes milder and creamier with sandalwood, vanilla and a little coconut. The fragrance is perfectly balanced, no note really stands out, nothing disturbs. The fragrance is warm, soft, creamy and sensual. Gabrielle seems very natural. The exotic components have been very popular for years - especially with an audience that is used to travelling to faraway countries.
And yet it is not an obtrusive coconut banger a la Victoria's Secrets and not a loud, cheerful Paco Rabanne fragrance.
Gabrielle remains Chanel and is therefore, despite all her opulence, reservedly elegant. Gabrielle leaves no murderous silhouette and is so elegant that it can also be worn in a business outfit. The shelf life is very good with up to 8 hours
Gabrielle is indeed as promised on the Chanel homepage: Sensual, opulent and passionate. The fragrance of a modern younger or young-at-heart woman who enjoys life with all her senses and yet is a respectable personality.
There are some similarities to the first Gabrielle, only that this one is a bit more harsh and sporty.
Both have their own charm
I think Chanel is going to take a new line with Gabrielle. Also recognizable by the modified bottle. It is certainly a quantum leap in perfume technology from No5 or No19 to Gabrielle. But all of them are children of their time and met the spirit of the times. For me Gabrielle Essence is one of the best new releases in 2019 and for a long time the best Chanel ever.
