First Eat, Then Love
"Arabians Tonka | Montale" was the first fragrance of this kind I got under the nose. My first niche fragrance. I had him with an order as a sample in my package. At that time I was not yet registered at Parfumo and could not inform myself what to expect. Since I knew until that time only designer fragrances I also did not know's of the existence of such
"Fragrance Bombs." I mean that positively, because durability and sillage are already very important to me.
I like to test new fragrances in the night shift, because I'm mostly alone and can not bother anyone with possible missteps.
So I took "Arabians Tonka | Montale" with me to work and sprayed him, as my colleague had gone, generously. For my at this time still untrained nose was the absolute smell shock ! These intense scents and the insane sillage have totally overwhelmed me. What I smell there I could not have said, but the scent caused me slight nausea. Today I know that there are fragrances in which 2 sprays are enough, and 4 to 5 sprays are definitely too much!
What surprised me very much, everyone who met me in my night service said I smell very good! And I was ashamed all the time because I thought " they are kidding me ".
Even my husband told me the next morning that I smell very good. He very rarely does that!
The next night shift I was greeted by an insanely great smell when I took my cardigan out of the locker. Beautifully spicy, warm and pleasantly sweet.
I am totally intrigued, is this the "Arabians Tonka | Montale" ??? WOW, I am overwhelmed by this beautiful fragrance !!!
It has then nevertheless lasted over a month until I dared to spray him again! This time at home and only a spray on the arm. And I must say the scent has flashed me again. This time in the positive sense. Due to the careful dosage I was able to enjoy the scent now. This beautiful saffron with the not too intense bergamot, so beautiful. In the heart note a rose to kneel down ( actually I don't like rose so much in perfume), finely interwoven with oud and leather. This way the scent lingers for a very long time. In the drydown, the rose is coated with sugar and tonka bean and musk join in. This gives the scent a subtle spice. So nice the scent stays for a very, very long time. Perceptible on my skin for more than 24 hours, on clothes for days. This fragrance is for me a masterpiece, you just must not overdo it !

I would never have thought that a fragrance that has almost disgusted me at the first testing can inspire me later so! And my environment he also likes. So dear people, always best to test several times. Maybe you also experience one or the other surprise

Damn it, I need you!
Kayali was completely unknown to me until September 2020. Until one day in September, a friend who came to visit gave me a sweet little 10 ml bottle. She said the fragrance was too sweet for her and gave it to me. She also didn't want me to try it right away "wait until I'm gone, the scent gives me a headache". Oops, that can only be a terrible perfume! I put the fragrance aside and wasted no more thought on it.

Sunday morning after breakfast, the scent came back to me. It was a cold rainy and stormy morning. So perfect for Vanilla 28 as it would later turn out. I sprayed the scent on my forearm and two seconds later I was paralyzed with bliss. "Oh my god! What is happening right now? I'm in love, but soo really in love with the scent!"

Since that day, I've been wearing Vanilla 28 almost exclusively. Two sprays on my neck and one on my wrist is enough and I was well scented all day. Also my colleagues liked the scent and some always said when entering the lab " today is Locke there. I smell this beautiful vanilla scent."

But 10 ml are not enough just forever! So in mid-October I put out my feelers to get me a big bottle. I found the fragrance only at S , but it was always !!! sold out ! : ((. When I only had about 2 ml left in my bottle I got really nervous! I searched further and found a site "HB", never heard of it. But they had "Vanilla | 28 | Kayali" and it was available. They also have shipping and it's neat. I didn't care, sign up and order! Delivery time two weeks, oops. Well, that's just the way it is. After 8 days I get a mail "your package will be delivered tomorrow during the day ". I am very happy!

Next morning: 07.32 o'clock, I just lubricate the Schnitten for my kids as it rings storm. Before the door the DHL package messenger. With outstretched arm and big wide eyes he hands me a package. It comes from Saudi Arabia and big green stickers are on it "dangerous and explosive" are written in big letters. I thank him, close the door and unpack. My Kayali is there! Pure joy! My husband comes and asks who rings so early. I show him my package. He scolds me "where you order again! You're lucky the bomb squad didn't show up." I don't care, I just think. Finally I got my Kayali! In the meantime I have already ordered there several times. Always works great and the nice stickers were no longer on any of the packages on it.

To the fragrance itself I can say, it is for me the most beautiful vanilla I have smelled so far. Cuddly warm, intense, sweet, spicy it surrounds me all day in a pleasant way. The scent starts lightly fruity with beautiful caramelized sugar and then slowly the vanilla comes in giving me such a secure feeling. Tonka bean and patchouli are dosed so that I can perceive them in the background. They support the vanilla and give the fragrance a nice frame. Amber and musk show up for me only after about 8-9 hours, then the scent is just skin deep. Then when I smell my arm I notice a beautiful musk and delicate amber hint. For many people the scent will be too sweet or too simple. It is just a vanilla fragrance, as the name already reveals.
For me, it's a little piece of heaven that has carried me through the cold dark winter days. When I wear Vanilla 28 is me comfortably warm around the heart and the weather is all the same to me. I am really glad that I was made aware of this fragrance by my dear friend.

Sorry for the long text! I love just this fragrance and also wanted to share that it was not so easy for me to get him. Therefore, this "damn I need you"

Soft caramelized rose
I'm really glad to have discovered this fragrance by chance : ). Well, the coincidence is called "shipping costs". To save the I rummaged in the online shop for something priced suitable. Nothing really appealed to me. I saw a golden rose as a bottle and thought to myself "is kind of cute ". The price was top and I could save the shipping costs. So, off to the virtual shopping cart and pay ( without shipping costs).

When my package arrived a few days later, I opened it immediately, of course. Volare Gold was the very first thing I unpacked. I really wanted to try the fragrance!

I find the bottle beautiful and fitting for the fragrance. Kind of cheesy, but still beautifully done.

When I sprayed on the fragrance immediately surrounded me a beautiful rose, not soapy or harsh. Peach and apple join the rose shortly after, giving the perfume a pleasant fruity finish. The rose, however, is the most present and always smells different to my nose. One moment it's delicately rosy, almost a fresh scent and the next it's coated in caramel. I also detect jasmine, but it stays subtly in the background. Sandalwood and amber come out in the drydown. I personally like the scent a lot, although I usually don't like rose in perfume at all. It's a nice inexpensive scent that I think can be worn any time of year. I'm going to wear it to work now in the spring.

H&S are good. Circa 6-7 hours I perceive the fragrance, from hour 5 it is very close to the skin.

A rose fragrance that I really like!

You can be soo beautiful!
I just love vanilla scents. When I discover vanilla in the fragrances I have to test or dare with cheap fragrances very often blind purchases. Fortunately, I had until now very few bad purchases : ).

So Red Vanilla by ZARA was also a blind purchase. The fragrance notes, the name Red Vanilla, that just has to be a fragrance for me!

And so it is! I love this fragrance! Mostly anyway, but I'll get to that later. Immediately after the aufprühen surrounds me a beautiful warm vanilla cloud. It dissipates quickly (for now) to make way for the fruit, but comes back just as beautifully later in the scent. The fruits smell delicious! Sweet pears and slightly tart currant. Simply very nice and fruity. After about half an hour, this wonderful warm vanilla note comes back, delicious to bite into! The scent stays like this for a while. In the further course of the fragrance, a very delicious praline note joins in. Patchouli and tonka bean remain very discreetly in the background. So delicious smells the fragrance almost always when I wear it.

Now I come to a point that I can not really explain! I also had twice the phenomenon that the fragrance shortly after spraying after damp musty cellar has smelled and the fruits were moldy! That remained then unfortunately also the whole time so. I then looked at what others have written so to the fragrance and had to laugh out loud. Some people have already described the cellar smell here! I don't know why it only appeared two months after regular use. Even now I just wear the fragrance and today I smell the delicious scent, not the cellar.

The rating of the fragrance would definitely have turned out higher, had I not made the acquaintance with the musty cellar. I still like him very much and will continue to wear the fragrance. Always in the hope that it is not a "cellar day" ; )

Fragrance pyramid implemented 1:1
As with most Bombshell fragrances you get exactly what is stated in the fragrance pyramid. So who stands on surprises and twists will probably be very disappointed here.
Personally, I like the fragrance very much, because all fragrance notes fit very well together and harmonize beautifully with each other. The black currant smells deliciously ripe and not scratchy sour. The delicately fragrant peony blends into the delicious blackcurrant scent shortly after. The rose here is also subtle and not too strong or soapy. These three components are perceptible in the fragrance all the time finely interwoven.
Bombshell Passion is a fruity floral spring and summer fragrance. Certainly not the surprising " WOW effect" fragrance, but still nice. I like to take him times in between, when I do not feel like my " Kracher" have or that would be simply inappropriate.

H&S are medium. Circa 4 to 5 hours I can perceive the fragrance on me. Since I have also already received compliments he is already well perceptible to others.
The bottle is color matching and already looks very chic.

Who does not like currant or rose should not test this fragrance. For fans of these fragrances certainly worth a test.
