The forester falls into the honey barrel
For breakfast, the forester always makes himself a sandwich with red berry jam.
Then he gets to work. He leaves his hut in the forest, walks past the hollow where all kinds of forest dwellers always meet at night and from then on is out and about in the forest all day long.
He takes a break at lunchtime. He passes a farm. The farmer owns a beehive. He temporarily stores the harvested honeycombs in a large wooden vat. The forester loves the smell of honey and, as he has done many times before, he bends over the vat to smell the honeycombs. But this time he loses his balance. He falls over the front and both his arms are full of honey. There is no time to change his clothes. From now on, he spends the rest of the day covered in honey in the forest. Until late in the evening.
A really great fragrance!
In the top note, I mainly get red and tart berries and slightly animalic notes. Incense is also added relatively quickly.
The animal notes fade quite quickly and the oud becomes woody and warm.
After some time, a honey note becomes increasingly present. After around four to five hours, the development comes to an end. What remains is a dreamlike woodiness and sweet, resinous honey.
A wonderful fragrance with great longevity and sillage! Unfortunately, it is of course very expensive.

The problem with marketing
Marketing to one gender is one of those things... When I started looking into fragrances, I only browsed in the men's sections of the usual drugstores and eventually perfumeries. The fragrances often had "man" or "pour homme" in their names.
I probably wouldn't have even looked at a fragrance marketed to women back then.
How nice that this has changed! Because now treasures like this don't stay hidden from me!
The "Lesedi La Rona VI (Eau de Parfum) | Graff" is a truly gorgeous fruity-vanilla oud fragrance that can be worn by all genders and at any age!
The fragrance opens with an authentic, slightly tart blackberry that is clearly perceptible on my skin. This is quickly followed by a high-quality and not at all animalistic oud. The fruity and woody notes harmonize perfectly with each other and are complemented by a few floral accents after a good hour.
After just under three to four hours, the fragrance becomes increasingly vanilla-like and warmer. Nevertheless, the blackberry lingers and the oud remains perceptible until the end. I particularly like the period in which the blackberry and oud are still clearly perceptible and the beautiful vanilla slowly becomes more present! Nevertheless, I wouldn't want to miss any other part of the progression.
The fragrance projects quite strongly for almost six hours. After that, it becomes closer to the skin and lasts well over 12 hours for me.
I really can't quite understand why this fragrance is marketed exclusively to women. It's such a great fragrance that will surely remain hidden from some men who would love it just because of the marketing!

Wonderfully interwoven
For some time now, I've been trying to smell the individual fragrance notes when I get to know new fragrances. It's also a lot of fun and I'm extremely happy when I recognize individual notes correctly. I also love fragrances that are designed in such a way that the individual notes can be easily recognized in the course of the fragrance!
For me, none of this is the case with Scirocco (at least so far). Sure, at the beginning I recognize a fruity note, here and there something spicy, a little sweetness and and and... But I don't manage to pick out individual notes. And what can I say? In this case, I think it's great!
The fragrance is so fluid and the individual notes just harmonize perfectly with each other! You can smell one direction every now and then, but it's never alone, it can always be seen and perceived in the context of the fragrance as a whole.
Simply a total work of art that needs every component to be perfect!
Longevity and sillage are great for me! Easily perceptible for 10 hours.
The bottle is definitely on my wish list!

Too good to stay short
I actually wanted to write a statement, but somehow I just wasn't able to adequately describe the fragrance in so few words. It's actually not that complex. Citrus and woods share a rather short opening. Then the citrus takes a step back, but remains perceptible in the background. Instead, the freshest vanilla I have ever smelled comes to the fore. It is probably the combination with the citrusy notes and the clean musk. In any case, the result is a vanilla fragrance that I can absolutely see wearing in spring and summer!
As I said, Ehsas Khas is not very complex, but the interplay of fragrance notes described above makes it special nonetheless. I can't stop smelling it on my wrist when I wear it.
It also has a brute longevity of easily 12 hours. It also projects really strongly for the first six to seven hours.
I'm really looking forward to wearing it again!

An up and down
I've been working a little more intensively with perfume for two to three years now and this fragrance has once again shown me in a curious way why I love it so much!
Not because I liked the scent so much, but because it took me on a journey once again.
I'm currently testing quite a few fragrances that I still have samples of lying around. Including this one. I've smelled the "New Notes" brand a few times so far, and I even own the New Leather. Overall, I've liked the fragrances so far!
I was also impressed with this one at first. Beautiful citric aquatics! I immediately felt like I was walking on an Italian beach. Great!
But after a few minutes I was disillusioned... The aquatic notes remained, but the citrus gave way to diffuse floral notes. Suddenly I no longer felt like I was on a beach in Italy, but like I was in a bathroom. In a clean, hygienic, beautiful and quite nice smelling bathroom. But still in a bathroom. I somehow don't like this floral-aquatic blend as a perfume, even if I can see it as a room fragrance.
At this point, I had (naively) already left a review of the fragrance and a statement here. (I had to correct or delete both afterwards.)
But then, about 4-5 hours after spraying it on, I smelled it on my wrist again and suddenly perceived the fragrance in a completely different way. The aquatics were still perceptible, but really beautiful woods had now joined them. I really liked that again. It felt like a sunset under the trees with the sea in the background.
Will I buy the fragrance? Certainly not. Unfortunately, I didn't like the heart note enough for that.
Nevertheless, I'm sitting here now writing this review because this fragrance has shown me once again that discovering a fragrance is a journey and an experience every time. And I look forward to every single one!
