Parfumelli

Nebras is a very wearable gourmand, because although it radiates very well and lasts really long, it doesn't overwhelm you with extreme sweetness, although that's what the fragrance pyramid would suggest.
I really like sweet fragrances, but in normal everyday life they are often too much for me, too strong.

Nebras starts with a nice berry chocolate.
To my nose, the cocoa is more of a milk chocolate, which remains present throughout.
Perhaps it is thanks to the aforementioned sugar note that the cocoa does not smell rather bitter, as is so often the case.
At the beginning you can still smell slightly sour red berries, I don't really notice the mandarin like this.
After a short time, I can smell the vanilla. However, it doesn't come across as extremely artificial and sweet, as is often the case with oriental fragrances.
It blends beautifully with the cocoa note.
The rose is definitely not a star here, but there is a hint of rose in between when you know that it is listed.

The whole thing then ends in a small musky veil, but for me the sweet cocoa still dominates here.

The sillage is very good, but not overwhelming. I have received a few compliments on the fragrance and often the statement "you can smell it again and again when you move, but it is not pungent and not too sweet".
It's a shame that it has been discontinued, although you can still get it without any problems at the moment.

The shelf life is mega. It lasted me 10 hours with two sprays. Of course, at some point it gets close to the skin (after 7-8 hours). I could still smell it on my clothes after 2 days, even though I only took the clothes out of the laundry basket without really smelling them.
So definitely a candidate that you shouldn't spray on a jacket if you don't want to use Nebras every day.
I got the 100ml for a little less than 40€. Price-performance is definitely more than good here!

Yara Tous was a blind buy according to the fragrance pyramid. At the price, I figured I couldn't go far wrong and could just give it away if I didn't like it.

The durability is not outstanding. It is completely gone after 6 hours at the latest, even if you spray it on properly.
I think the sillage is perfect for summer. In the first hour you notice it very well, but it doesn't overwhelm anyone. After that, it becomes very close to the body, but just the right thing in high temperatures!

Now to the fragrance: at first spray it smells very fruity, but more in the direction of mango-passion fruit-yogurt. So very creamy right from the start. Then the coconut comes in very quickly, which gives the whole thing a bit of a sun cream vibe and catapults me to the beach in my mind's eye.
Somewhere in the Caribbean on a sun lounger, freshly applied sun cream and a mango cream cocktail in my hand.

After a short time, a very fluffy musk joins in and makes the fragrance a little more "grown-up". Grown-up in the sense that it is not a super-sweet fragrance (which could have been the case with the fragrance pyramid), but rather a sweet, fruity fragrance that is also wonderful to wear to work in summer.

I don't notice the flowers listed. There is something vanilla in the far background. It could be heliotrope or just the vanilla listed per se, but it never comes to the fore.
However, there is always something slightly synthetic. Personally, it doesn't bother me, but if you don't like anything synthetic at all, you might find the note annoying.

Conclusion: For a price of 22€ for 100ml, I have found a nice sweet summer fragrance that I can wear without hesitation in everyday life. P/L is top here!

Spraying Andromeda is actually always a surprise for me, because I perceive it differently every time and different notes dominate, especially as the fragrance progresses.

At first, I perceive a tart, fruity sweetness. Sometimes the peach dominates and then the pear again. The tartness probably comes from the grassy note. As a result, I would perceive it as neither feminine nor masculine, it lies exactly in between.
I also keep smelling ylang ylang, which always gives a nice summer vacation vibe. A fragrance that definitely puts you in a good mood.

And then something happens that hardly any other fragrance can do for me: It always develops a little differently.
Floral notes always play in the background, but sometimes it becomes rather sweet in the drydown and becomes more feminine and I think to myself "yes, the perfect fragrance. could become my favorite".
And on other days it becomes very woody in the drydown and goes more in the masculine direction. It's always a game of chance how it develops.
I don't really have a problem wearing perfumes that don't smell typically feminine. But I'm more of a "sweetie" and have to be in the mood for more "masculine" fragrances.
Andromeda is a great fragrance, but sometimes I struggle to wear it in everyday life because of the development, because sometimes I just want to know what to expect from a perfume.

Value for money: Andromeda lasts a long time and has a very good sillage. The wheel has not been reinvented and yet it smells special. Whether the price is worth it, everyone has to know for themselves. But you definitely get something good for your money.

I came across Dylan Blue while searching for a "fresh out of the shower" perfume. And yes, it smells like fresh out of the shower, clean and nicely creamed in.
One of the few clean fragrances that I can stand and like, because you don't get hit by a musk bomb.

At the beginning, you can smell the slight acidity of the apple paired with something green (the clover?). It starts out synthetic, but the apple softens it somewhat and makes it seem more natural.
You can smell the jasmine relatively quickly. I'm really not a big jasmine fan and don't like strong, dominant jasmine notes. Here, however, it is so beautifully interwoven with the fruity notes and ensures that the acidity of the apple and the only faint smell of blackcurrant sorbet are joined by a sweetness that makes the fragrance balanced.

If you're looking for a peach note, you won't find it here. I really don't smell anything for that.

In the dry-down, you can still smell the jasmine gently, it becomes a little woodier overall, and after 4-5 hours it leaves my skin.

Dylan Blue-definitely not a masterpiece in my eyes, but for me finally a clean fragrance that I can wear without hesitation whenever I feel like having a gentle freshness around me. It starts off slightly fruity and tart, then quickly turns floral and creamy. None of the notes really dominate, the sillage is no more than average and the longevity is also semi. But it doesn't always have to be the "sillage monster". I enjoy the hours I spend with Dylan Blue and like to sniff my arm again.
He doesn't really get compliments, but nobody bothers you about him. A good business/office fragrance

At the start, all the listed notes (there aren't many) are perceptible to me.
A deep, dark rose, some cocoa powder and a sour currant.
Shortly afterwards, the rose and the currant assert themselves. It's definitely not a fresh floral rose. It is a mysterious, dark rose. The redcurrant flashes up again and again and scatters a little acidity.
After a while, the blackcurrant fades and the rose remains, sprinkled with a little bitter cocoa powder.
The fragrance becomes more powdery and settles on the skin: like a black velvet dress.
Definitely not a daily fragrance for me. You can wear it wonderfully on a date, generally when you go out. It would be too much for everyday wear or the office.

The sillage is really good in the first 2-3 hours. It can be overdosed quickly as the fragrance is so powdery. After that, it becomes a little softer, but is still well perceived by others.
It lasts a good 8 hours on me, but fortunately it is not so penetrating in the long term.
The first few minutes after spraying it is almost too much for me, although I like it.

I don't think it's necessarily for the very young ladies. At least I know that I personally wouldn't have liked it at all when I was 20, as it somehow has something grown-up about it.
But of course, tastes are different and if you like dark, tart and slightly sour rose fragrances, you should at least give it a try!
