Winter in New York City. Between the high-rise buildings on Madison Avenue, snowflakes are reflected in the glittering facades of the shop windows. A woman, wrapped in a short black fur jacket, a casual Marc Jacobs bag in her hand, her blonde hair perfectly styled despite the wind, walks purposefully along the street. Perhaps she's on her way to an art opening in Soho or an aperitif in a bar. A true New Yorker. As we stop next to each other at the traffic lights, I am suddenly surrounded by a fabulously creamy, sweet and woody scent. It's as if she's just returned from vacation and still has the scent of the sun, a luxurious hotel lobby and the finest suntan lotion. I am fascinated and can't concentrate on anything else but this fragrance.

She seems to be following the same route as us, heading towards Fifth Avenue and Rockefeller Center. With every block we walk together, the scent unfolds more. I notice white flowers, first and foremost the beguiling sweetness of jasmine, paired with a beautiful lily note. Underneath lies a bright, radiant vanilla note. Heavy and radiant at the same time, individual and incredibly elegant.

That winter evening in New York was actually the first time I asked a complete stranger on the street about her scent. A little surprised, but friendly, she told me: Le Labo Lys 41. As I unfortunately don't have the budget of a New York It Girl at my disposal, I quickly put it in the "just dreaming, but better forget it very quickly" category. I sprayed myself a little wistfully at the Le Labo counter in every upmarket department store in New York and decided to forget about the fragrance back in Germany. Which wasn't difficult, as it wasn't available to test anywhere.

So I was all the more delighted when my boyfriend gave me the fragrance for my birthday six months later. Even though I hadn't spoken about it once since then! But he also thought the fragrance was simply stunning and said that I needed it... (what would a true perfumer like to hear more than that ;)) I've loved the perfume ever since, I don't really wear anything else on special occasions because it's simply addictive - and probably also because I associate it with such wonderful vacation memories. Incidentally, the longevity and silage are well above average, which also puts the price into perspective.

On a warm June night, a young woman in a peach-coloured dress stands on a roof terrace - a glass of Bellini in her hand, a handsome man on her arm, the master plan for life in her mind. She's confident, mysterious, beautiful. A small gust of wind goes through her hair and you can perceive her scent. She is wearing - how could it be otherwise - Coco Mademoiselle. If there is one perfect scent for me, it is Coco mademoiselle. First a fresh and fruity tingling start, which quickly becomes incredibly feminine and flowery. For an endlessly long time it still envelops me with its light vanilla creaminess, like a soft cashmere blanket. Insanely elegant, but at the same time young and fresh. Feminine, sensual, flowery, delicious. Wear it on really all occasions - whether it's a unit day, date, family dinner or evening event. Although it is apparently so popular and widespread, I am always being asked what a great scent it is! I have never received so many compliments for anyone else, even though it is not really important to me anyway. I wear a fragrance because it makes me feel good, makes me happy when I sniff it during the day and I can identify with it. And this is definitely the case with CM

In the early dawn, when the shadows of the night have not really faded yet and the world keeps its foggy veil for a while, Paris is most enchanted. Steamed by the twilight, enveloped by a fresh, comforting scent of freedom - the day can bring everything it promises. A young woman scurries out of an entrance, clatters her heels on the street, just barely you can see her pale pink dress and the brunette hair tips disappear behind a street corner. The flower stands of the Marché aux Fleurs are quickly set up, the day may come.
All this is summed up in this fragrance in a beautiful, harmonious and elegant way. It is as lovely as the flowers of the magnificent bouquets on the market, but also as fresh as the water and its stems. As powdery as Paris´ Street dust and as clear as the sun that slowly rises above the Seine.
Since many years my absolute favourite and signature fragrance, which will stay with me forever!
