Pappnase

First things first: The bottle is blue, and it is classified here as aquatic-citrus. But it also has a bit of an old-school and powdery vibe. An interesting combination that very faintly reminds me of Sculpture, which is why I have placed it right next to it on my shelf.
This is the first fragrance that I remember buying for myself. I'm surprised that the name still came to mind. Google revealed quite an interesting, overly lengthy story about how the fragrance was discontinued by Shulton and then saved by a fan. Out of curiosity and a pre-Christmas "do you remember," I quickly found and ordered this 1995 version of Parfums Bleu online at a reasonable price. The bottle and cap still look like the 1975 version to me. Here and there, a 2006 version of Key Sun also pops up online. Whether this was reformulated, I obviously don't know.
If there are any differences between the 1975 Shulton version and my 1995 version of Parfums Bleu, they cannot be significant. I must admit that the scent surprised me upon the first sniff. A bad purchase? After a few more tests, I am sure: This is the Blue Stratos of my earliest youth. The reason it didn't click for me right away is probably that my expectations of "aquatic-citrus" differ from today's scent preferences. In that sense, Blue Stratos has something very distinctive, somehow out of time - just like the blue Zündapp with which I made my first forays into the world that was still at my feet back then.

The fourth and currently last fragrance from the display with "test tubes" at the local flour producer. A few words on how I came across the scent can be found in my - by the way first - comment on the "Green Tea" from the series. I don't need to repeat that here.
So much in advance: after the "Sweet Vanilla" from the series, the "Exotic Mango" has also remained in use as a perfume. It has something.
(If this perfume is not identical to the one listed under the name "Mango," please let me know.)
This fragrance is also sold in the "test tube" for just under 2 EUR / 15ml.
I know pretty well how mangos smell: fruity, a bit "rough" and peppery. "Exotic Mango" definitely does not smell like that. It is not even the obligatory peach mixed with mango, but rather a wild fruit salad, and it may be that a mango was also lying in the kitchen during its preparation.
However, that does not mean that the scent smells bad. It just smells different than the name suggests.
Just like with the others I tested from the series - there is no development of the scent after spraying. It remains - and this lasts quite a while - at one scent note: fruit salad without much sugar, let alone whipped cream, certainly chemical, but not piercing for me.
Unfortunately, it also bears the flaw of the bottle. I don't know why, but at least these plastic caps are terrible.

The third one from the display with "test tubes" at the local flour producer. A few words about how I came across the scent can be found in my - by the way first - comment on the "Green Tea" from the series. I don't need to rehash that here.
Of course, I didn't have the illusion that a fragrance sold for under 2 EUR for 15ml would use natural vanilla. I expected vanillin, which can quickly become a threat in many olfactory or taste contexts. Not here! It is a lovely warm vanilla illusion, nothing more and nothing less. And because I was so surprised by this, I followed this first purchase with the three other fragrances available in the range.
As with the others in the quartet I tested, there is no development of the scent. Because the fragrance is so pleasant and lasts quite a long time, I honestly miss nothing.
A nice feature is that this vanilla "lifts" the daytime (of course matching) fragrance again when you lightly spray over it in the evening.
I currently have four fragrances that bear vanilla in their name. Whether the slightly more refined La Rive "Vanilla Touch" or this straightforward "Sweet Vanilla" is number one for me would be hard to decide if it weren't for the bottle with the cheap plastic cap. The La Rive bottle doesn't win any beauty awards either, but this "test tube" with the charm of a urine sample is so unsexy that it's really a shame considering the successful content.

The second one from the display with "test tubes" at the local flour producer. A few words on how I came across the scent can be found in my - by the way first - comment on the "Green Tea" from the series. I don't need to regurgitate that here.
"Coconut," it immediately reminds me of Schimanski's "Kokonuttencocktail" (from "Unter Brüdern," if I'm not mistaken), the recipe of which he extorts from the club chief before the latter is found dead in the pool the next day, tied to a sauna chair.
Well, the "Coconut" isn't that bad. It does smell somewhat nutty - but not coconutty. Soft, warm, but like the others in the quartet I tested, there is no development of the scent. At least it doesn't disappear during the heart note phase; it lingers with me for quite a while. But there is some nuance in the scent that bothers me. It's this - here slight - hint of shoe polish that regularly makes me shudder in higher concentrations of La Rive "Cash," which is sometimes praised as a good "1 Million" dupe.
That's why I've also decided to use it up as a room fragrance here. And that's not meant to be negative. It’s fun and, at that price (under 2 EUR / 15ml), it's not decadent.

My local flour producer has a display of "test tubes" at the very bottom of the shelf. "Fruity Fragrances," manufacturer Jean-Paul Grand. None of this means anything to me. I am new to the world of fragrances. But at least there is a named perfumer responsible: Dominique Preissas, who has designed serious scents, including Jaguar Classic Black and Classic Gold, as I read here on parfumo.de. So, for 1.99 EUR for 15ml, I dare to buy a tube of "Sweet Vanilla" and suspect nothing good. Let me say this upfront: The next day, I also bought "Coconut," "Exotic Mango," and the "Green Tea," which is the focus here. (Besides these four, there are a few other scents listed that I haven't found and tested yet.)
The "Green Tea" smells citrusy-spicy. That’s the top note. It’s enjoyable. However, not much else happens as it develops. The lack of evolution wouldn’t be so bad because this note of green iced tea has something. Absolutely! But the only development is unfortunately: top note, a little heart note, and then poof, it’s gone.
Nice to have made its acquaintance, but unfortunately, it’s a bit weak. I then decided to use it as a room fragrance. It does a good job there, and for the money, it was worth a try.
