Porcelina

Eau Ressourçante is an absolute insider tip that hardly anyone talks about. It is an incredibly beautiful, clear, fresh, slightly floral, and very subtly spicy fragrance that reminds me a bit of "Armani Privé - Thé Yulong | Giorgio Armani." At first, I thought I wouldn't need it in my collection, but I am now incredibly glad that I got it after all. I currently use it almost daily, and it has become one of my absolute favorite scents. I especially love to spray it on my pillow in the morning, and I look forward to the evening when I snuggle into bed and still catch a whiff of the scent. I also enjoy using it before I go for a run in the woods in the morning when I just want to feel a bit fresh. With its freshness and clarity, I believe you can't really overdo this fragrance. Everything harmonizes so beautifully that it feels like wellness for the soul. Regarding longevity, I initially thought it faded too quickly, but upon repeated testing, I noticed that it lasts relatively long on clothing, and depending on the day, also on the skin. At this price, you can really spray it on more often, and as mentioned, it doesn't harm the scent at all. I didn't find the bottle particularly beautiful at first, especially because of the plastic cap. However, I now love the way it feels in my hand, as it has something of a hand-soother about it. The glass is so smooth and round that it feels cold and cool like a stone - which fits very well with the effect of the fragrance.

I never thought I would become a fan of an Alien - and what a fan! :) I had sprayed the original on myself for testing several times over the years, but each time I had to realize that it was too intense for me and I washed it off afterward. I usually really enjoy either clear, bright, and light scents, elegant floral perfumes, or vanilla gourmands that have a floral aspect and are not too heavy.
Alien Hypersense is somewhere perfectly in between, fitting me just right. It is much sweeter, softer, and cozier than the regular Alien, as the jasmine here is not so overpowering. At some point, I sprayed a sample on myself and - yes, of course, it wasn’t anything totally new, since you can easily detect the Alien DNA, but still, at first sniff, it was absolute love. I felt incredibly comfortable with this soft, sensual, and fruity scent. For my nose, it is simply perfectly blended and lays like velvet on my skin. I love to spray two spritzes under my top and two on my wrists. With that, I am really well-equipped for the whole day. Every time I wear the scent, my twelve-year-old daughter especially goes crazy because she loves this scent on me so much. Today she came home from school, and when I opened the door for her, she looked at me with wide eyes and said: You smell SO good!!! I don’t know if the feedback from a twelve-year-old is positive for others - but it means a lot to me when my daughter says something like that, especially when she repeats it ten times. :)
Alien Hypersense may not be a niche fragrance, nor as complex, refined, and elegant as some other scents I have come to know, but it is simply incredibly well-groomed, pleasant, silky, creamy, and sensual.
A super beautiful all-rounder that is just well made all around.

I work in a huge bookstore that spans four floors, and especially during the pre-Christmas season, various scents mingle in the air. A few days ago, I was downstairs in the ground floor when I suddenly caught a very pleasant, fresh, slightly fruity scent that reminded me at first of "Un Jardin sur le Nil (Eau de Toilette) | Hermès," but I couldn't quite place it. So, I walked past the spot a few times until I could identify the lady who was wearing this fragrance. After hesitating around the table for a moment, I finally approached her kindly, mentioning how good it smelled here and asking if it was her. The lady was thrilled by the compliment and told me that she often gets compliments on her perfume. It was a red star-shaped bottle from Mugler with a silver sprayer on top. At that moment, it dawned on me that I had spoken to a customer about this exact fragrance some time ago, but she could only tell me that it was some scent from Mugler.
After work, I went on a search in the city, but unfortunately, I had no luck, and all the testers of Angel Nova Eau de Parfum were empty - I could only faintly detect the same scent from the lady at the spray head. Thanks to a great offer from a lovely perfume seller here in the Souk, I now have the fragrance in front of me since today and just sprayed it on. When I wear it myself, it actually reminds me a bit of "Very Good Girl Glam | Carolina Herrera." It has this very light fruity Delina note from the lychee, but also something lighter and fresher about it. Some people here say they find the scent sweet, which I personally can't understand at all. For me, it is definitely bright, fruity, fresh, sparkling, and somehow creamy. It is less piercing than Delina Eau de Parfum and not as dense and synthetic as Very Good Girl Glam or "Very Good Girl (Eau de Parfum) | Carolina Herrera." So for me, it’s a great alternative that I find really lovely. Additionally, it still has a hint of Un Jardin sur le Nil Eau de Toilette in the sillage.
One spray is potent but not too heavy. You could probably get by with two sprays for several hours.
A very beautiful, positive good mood fragrance that stands out pleasantly! :)

L'Instant Magic - a magical moment in winter that colors the sky blue-pink in the evening sun. They say the little angels bake cookies for Christmas then, right?

Next to the baby crib stands the snow globe that we look at together every evening. I gently turn it around, and
from pink clouds, powder sugar snow cascades down, softly covering hills and almond trees, bathing everything in gentle, clean light.

A fairy-tale world where everything is still clean and in order.

The scent is soft like a cream-colored, fluffy blanket with a cuddly bear from Lenor.
It smells clean and innocent like baby powder or baby cream.
At the same time, the fragrance also has something fine and delicate about it, making it elegant and somehow fragile.

3 sprays are more than enough for me to perceive the scent well for up to 6 hours.

Unobtrusive, pure, and well-groomed - a fragrance that conveys a sense of security and one that you really can't not like;-). My husband and daughter always tell me how beautiful they think it is on me.

The scents from Valjues are special, not all of them are to my taste, and the bottles with their modern, naturally minimalist design are a matter of preference. Somehow, the brand has something, and the appearance of a whole series with numbers in the same look and different fragrance categories recently piqued my curiosity at the airport, prompting me to sniff through them.

I already knew 12 | Twelve - I had previously smelled a sample from it that had initially convinced me. A really very nice clean scent with beautiful musk, which unfortunately becomes a bit too sharp and prickly in my nose over time, causing headaches. Still, it is a high-quality and special, molecular scent.

Okay, back to the airport. So, before the flight, I happily sprayed a few different Valjues on the test strip, but since I already own so many gourmands that I really like, I was somehow in the mood for something different. And then came No. 7! This one really surprised me completely. I have tested a lot in my fragrance career by now, but I must admit that I have never smelled a scent that smells like this. I already found it super beautiful and pleasant on the test strip... a bit powdery, slightly fruity, bright, creamy, a little smoky, and somehow just interesting. We were already sitting at the gate when I decided to go back and spray the scent on myself. The whole time on the plane, I had to sniff my wrist and thought at that moment that I would probably always think back to the vacation whenever I smell this fragrance, as it is somehow so memorable. I was totally happy that I managed to get a bottle of the scent at the souk, and I was already looking forward to coming home during the vacation to wear it.

Back home, the scent develops a clean warmth on me, the powderiness fades, and the woodiness then comes forward very softly in combination with a subtle cherry note. However, I would never describe the scent as a cherry scent. I don’t find the cherry to be that authentic, and the other notes distract from it. For me, it is not fruity at all, but really a soft and sensual scent, as it is also described. I actually think that the scent works well as a signature for work, as it has a somewhat polished cleanliness to it, yet this slightly smoky component is there, making it somehow niche and subtly sexy. This sweet-smoky note has bothered me at work on some days, especially in the dry down. On other days, however, I find the scent so incredibly wonderful that I could melt away. I think it has something incredibly attractive and something totally special. It is an elegant scent, and I see it more on modern, casually fashionable people who like it "clean".
Three sprays are absolutely sufficient for the whole day. However, you should definitely test it beforehand. This is not a blind buy candidate! :-)
