Summer scents are a difficult category for me, as many things just become annoying in the nose at high temperatures. And I should have known: The fragrances from this house are often too loud, not refined enough, not finely tuned...

The scent strikes me as confusing. What I had imagined: Something harmoniously delicate, tending towards elegance and unobtrusiveness. In the direction of a tea ceremony with fine pastries and some beautifully garnished fruit. But...

There are fragrances that are somehow different. Special, without one being able to say exactly why. This scent falls into that category for me. Due to a lack of travels to Zanzibar, I immediately envision the Amalfi Coast...

The idea of representing the effects of messenger substances or hormones through scent compositions is incredibly fascinating to me. Because how often do we associate scents with situations or specific people, with emotions or memories?...

When I only looked at the fragrance pyramid, I thought: No way. This is never a scent I would like. How one can be mistaken! The beetroot is actually quite noticeable after spraying, but not in a vegetable garden style. It gives...

Ah, vanilla. One of my favorite perfume notes. When - and here begins the dilemma - it is warm and soft, not sticky, not unpleasantly dramatic, yet has a hint of something special. Almost everything applies to Jovoy Fire at Will. And yet, I was disappointed...
