Ana Abiyedh - Coral 2.0 or something else?
"Atlantis" is a fragrance that I have been waiting for a long time and was very excited about.
I like watermelon in fragrances and I already knew
Ana Abiyedh Coral which I liked. However, I was worried that
Atlantis might be too similar to it.
The fragrance starts with a very delicious sweet, intense and juicy watermelon. Although the melon doesn't smell like a freshly cut fruit, I find it more authentic and not quite as synthetic as in
Ana Abiyedh Coral
The melon is joined by coconut, which is very perceptible but dominated by the melon. I would estimate the ratio of melon to coconut at 70/30.
After a few minutes, the orange comes to the fore. It brings another fresh and sweet note to the fragrance and underlines its fruitiness.
Although no woody notes are listed, I find the fragrance slightly woody in the drydown, which makes it a little more masculine for me than in the opening.
For me, the sweet watermelon, refreshing orange and creamy coconut remain present and in focus throughout the fragrance.
The longevity is good.
I perceive the fragrance for several hours, yet it is not overly radiant and the sillage is rather moderate.
"Atlantis" is a unisex fragrance that develops a slightly masculine note for me in the drydown.
To summarize, I like
Atlantis very much.
It is a nice fresh, sweet melon fragrance that fits perfectly into the summer.
In my opinion, you can't go wrong with it.
Apart from the initial melon note, it bears little resemblance to
Ana Abiyedh Coral
While the "Coral" clearly shows off the melon and peach, the "Atlantis" focuses on the coconut in combination with the fresh orange.
For this reason,
Atlantis is a fragrance in its own right for me.
Anyone who likes
Ana Abiyedh Coral but finds it too feminine or is looking for a fresher and slightly aquatic melon scent with a subtle coconut note should definitely try the fragrance.

French Avenue`s alternative to "Naxos"
Although I've always been interested in
Naxos, I'm probably one of the few people who have never actually smelled the fragrance.
There were simply always too many other fragrances that I really wanted to try beforehand.
For this reason, I can't judge how similar
Fierte Luna is to the original, but I was still very curious about the often-mentioned honey note.
The fragrance starts directly spicy and fresh.
I immediately notice a lot of lavender, followed by bergamot, which gives it a citrusy-fresh nuance.
After a short time, the bergamot fades into the background, while the lavender remains present.
The fragrance now becomes spicier and warmer.
Cashmeran comes to the fore and gives it a soft, woody, powdery and musky note.
I can also detect cinnamon and jasmine, with the cinnamon coming out more intensely for me, while jasmine remains rather discreetly in the background.
The honey note reveals itself in the drydown, but it remains restrained.
I would have liked it to be much sweeter and more present.
For me, lavender, cinnamon and cashmeran are the fragrance notes that I perceive most strongly throughout the fragrance.
I have already tested
King Tobacco, which is also supposed to be an alternative to
Naxos and I have to admit that I liked this fragrance better, as the honey note there smells more authentic and of higher quality to me.
At around 7 to 8 hours, the longevity is very good. The fragrance is clearly perceptible for the first 3 hours, after which it becomes softer but still remains present.
Fierte Luna is a unisex fragrance with a slight masculine tendency.
To summarize, "Fierte Luna" is a powdery-fresh, spicy and not too sweet fragrance that I generally like. For me personally, however, the lavender is too much in focus. As I'm not a big fan of lavender, I won't be buying a bottle.
Nevertheless, the fragrance will certainly appeal to many and is worth a test.

Cream of Coconut
As a fan of Gourmands,
Creme of Clouds was a fragrance I was curious about for a long time, but with the amount of new releases, it kept falling into oblivion.
I was also worried that it might just be another alternative to
Bianco Latte, whose DNA I really like, but of which I already have a few very similar fragrances in my collection.
The fragrance starts immediately very milky and sweet.
The first thing I notice is an intense coconut note that is neither fresh nor watery, but very creamy and reminds me of a creamy coconut-vanilla cream.
It also smells like freshly baked, still warm waffles. Very tasty and delicious.
I also detect a hint of caramelized sugar, which gives the fragrance a slightly roasted note.
However, the chocolate never makes an appearance for me at any time.
"Creme of Clouds" is a very linear fragrance that does not undergo any major changes from the opening to the drydown. For me, coconut and vanilla are in the foreground throughout the entire fragrance and are present the whole time.
The longevity is unfortunately only moderate.
I perceive it for about 4 hours, after which it becomes very skin-deep.
The sillage is also very soft.
I would have liked a better performance from such a sweet gourmand.
Although "Creme of Clouds" is a unisex fragrance, I find it rather feminine.
To summarize, I really liked
Creme of Clouds. A minimal similarity to
Bianco Latte cannot be denied, but the creamy coconut note with the sugary warm vanilla makes it an independent fragrance for me.
If you like sweet gourmand fragrances with coconut, I can only recommend "Creme of Clouds".
I liked the fragrance so much that sooner or later a bottle will certainly be added to my collection.

My most emotional fragrance
"Laura" is a fragrance that I wore a long time ago and over many years and with which I associate many beautiful memories and moments. It was my signature fragrance for some time and whenever a bottle ran out, I had to get a new one.
Over the years, however, my collection grew and more newer and more interesting fragrances were added, so I found myself reaching for
Laura Eau de Parfum less and less often.
But my mother always liked "Laura" on me, so I gave her the bottle. Since then, it has become her signature fragrance and has been for many years.
Whenever I smell it anywhere, I immediately think of my mom and the lovely feeling of coming home.
But let's get to the fragrance itself.
Laura Eau de Parfum starts off very fruity and sweet.
I immediately notice watermelon, which smells sugar-sweet and juicy, albeit a little synthetic, which I don't find negative at all.
This is joined by peach and apricot, which give "Laura" a slightly creamy and powdery nuance.
The fruity notes remain, while the fragrance becomes more floral.
Jasmine brings a floral, honey-like note into play and lotus provides a slightly spicy freshness.
In the drydown, sandalwood makes "Laura" a little woodier, giving the fragrance a velvety texture.
Peach and above all watermelon are in the foreground throughout the fragrance and are clearly perceptible the whole time.
The longevity is unfortunately only moderate. I perceive the fragrance for about 2 to 3 hours, a little longer on clothing. The sillage is also rather soft. I would have liked a little more power here.
Laura Eau de Parfum is a very feminine, very fruity-fresh and sweet summer fragrance that is never too much and certainly doesn't bother anyone. It is light, unobtrusive, clean, playful and carefree
It suits every occasion and every age. It's a fragrance you can't go wrong with.
for me, "Laura" is rightly a timeless classic which, despite the 31 years it has been on the market, has not gone out of fashion. Even after so many years, I still love to smell it, especially on my mom.

A coffee fragrance that stands out from the crowd
"Date Caramel" is a fragrance that I was able to test immediately after its release.
It's supposed to be an alternative to
Sticky Dates, which I haven't tested yet. That's why I was all the more curious about what to expect.
I was surprised immediately after spraying it on.
The first and most intense note I noticed was licorice. A smell of licorice and anise, reminiscent of a very sweet licorice stick. I have already noticed this phenomenon in other fragrances with coffee and caramel in the top note. To my nose, this combination seems to create a licorice note.
This note remains, but becomes softer, while the coffee becomes more prominent with a slight roasted aroma. For me, this coffee accord also has something of coffee liqueur about it - slightly boozy, but also extremely sweet, creamy and creamy.
Then there are dates and oranges. The orange gives the fragrance a fruity nuance, while the dates give it an additional sweetness.
It's difficult to describe
Date Caramel because the notes combine perfectly.
When I spray it on, I have the feeling it has a certain density or a kind of "thick" consistency, which I would describe as similar to caramel syrup if that comparison makes sense.
The scent is relatively linear and hardly changes from the opening to the drydown.
Coffee, juicy dates and very sweet, sticky caramel dominate the entire fragrance.
The longevity is very good. With just a few sprays, I perceive it intensely for many hours. In the first hour, the sillage is above average.
The price/performance ratio is also top, as the fragrance is now available at a reasonable price. The value you get for it is almost unbeatable.
Date Caramel is a unisex fragrance with a tendency towards the feminine, but is also quite wearable by a man who likes very sweet gourmands.
I liked the fragrance straight away because it stands out from the mass of other coffee fragrances. The sweetness of caramel and dates combined with coffee makes for a very delicious gourmand scent.
The very good performance also won me over immediately, so a bottle was immediately added to my collection.
Even if you like coffee fragrances, I would still recommend not buying
Date Caramel blindly, but testing it beforehand, as I think it differs from other coffee fragrances.
