It took me some time to write something about Decade. The first try really scared me off. I think I've had at least 10 tries.

In between I left the scent on the left.
Now finally I decide that Decade is my fragrance.

Lucky too, because I already had this beautiful bottle in my closet. A round flat turquoise blue glass bottle with a tin disc on the front and back with a zinc cap. The tin discs are made by a traditional British tin company especially for Boadicea The Victorious. Engraved Celtic knot works decorate the plates. The symbolism of these knots is as complex as it is shrouded in legend.

At first Decade is very scratchy and negative. Probably this is the saffron in combination with the pineapple and the aldehydes.
Then I feel like I'm in Provence. The air in the fields, blown by a warm spring breeze, smells intensely of roses. A fruity, soft, almost lemony note, which can also be sniffed out, is at the same time somewhat surprising.

Suddenly all previous perceptions of Decade evaporate and are replaced by an exciting variety of fragrance combinations, led by bergamot and Bulgarian rose around a heart of Rose de Mai and Hedoine. A moment later a thin stream of white musk, amber and guaiac arrives. By the way Hedoine is a chemical compound of 13 carbons, 22 hydrogens and 3 oxygens.

I am surrounded by a spicy, warm, magical scent.

At the suggestion of a single nice perfume I visited Le Labo a few days ago and tested Baie 19. It was a little reckless. Although circled three times, at the end only one parking lot remained in second lane. Oh, oh the parking tickets go to my better half.
It seems to be unique in the niche scents, already because of Petrichor. Uh, Petrichor never heard of. Haven't really found a fragrance with these imaginative ingredients.
"The term was coined in 1964 by two Australian researchers. In the article, the authors describe how the smell is caused by an oil secreted by certain plants during dry periods, which in turn is absorbed by clay soils and rocks. During the rain, the oil, along with another compound called Geosmin, is released into the air. The connection creates the distinctive smell." (Wikipadia).

My nose feels the scent noble, woody, somewhat mossy and earthy with a hint of pine needles. He is not impressive, but "reserved" in his presentation. Fresh, earthy, wet. The juniper berry is slightly sweet and lasts forever in combination with the patchouli. The durability is with me approx. 7 hours. All in all, the Baie is now on my wish list. "Flacon price plus parking ticket price "

A quick visit to the KaDeWe. Passing by, my eye glances at a mighty black attracting glass bottle. One sprayer on the back of the hand and three on the paper strip. From the back of my hand a warm and fresh scent rose towards me during my drive home.
Shortly decided: this is a scent for sharing. Easier thought than done, in the KaDeWe it was already sold out the next day. Also two Internet perfumeries, told me: sold out, although they had already received their money. Van Cleef & Arpels France gave me the information that Reve d'Ylang was only produced in very small quantities and may not be available again until March 2020.
My hunting instinct was awakened and two days ago DHL brought me a big heavy box.
A glossy black piano varnish box comes to light : ups the first fingerprint on the elegant glossy box.
Just a sprayer on the back of your hand, fresh, green, dynamic, sharp. I smell cardamom and saffron. The saffron is a bit spicy, but in combination with the fruity citrus-like aroma of cardamom it rounds off quickly.
Ylang Ylang... Also called "flower of life", it is made from the finest ingredients. It consists of one with plenty of spices and sweet tones that reminds us of the heat of a tropical sun. With the delicate patchouli, the fragrance develops warmly, quietly unobtrusively. The vanilla sticks long.
The Sillage is unobtrusive. The shelf life with me approx. 7 hours
A real dream...

If the desire for something extraordinary becomes too big, the website of ALZD with its diverse range of samples has to be created. Masque Milano catches my eye: l'Attesa. It means: waiting. On the development of fragrance?
After the first spray, I see light blue, azure blue, blue violet, cornflower blue. This is how I imagine the iris, beautifully flowery.
It bubbles around the iris and makes it as lively as a raspberry in a glass of champagne. The lifting effect of the champagne chord makes L'Attesa light as a feather. A woody powdery note prevails. The iris always remains superficial. In my opinion the fragrance course hardly changes.
A beautiful scent for a dinner with an exorbitant partner.
I'll just skip the price segment. So expensive but test it!

I got the No.1 here in the souk from a super nice perfume. The scent was not present for me before. Until I randomly tested him.

This is a flowery aldehyde fragrance with the greatest madness you can imagine.
No. 1 is a sweet-sour pineapple praline made from the fluffiest mousse that has been put into your mouth, and you have no choice but to taste it. It is not a realistic pineapple, but a mixture of apicosis, bergamot and weak plum.
After this opening, light creamy ylang-ylang creeps in to soothe the fruit explosion and deepen the odor. The rose jasmine chord has a very distinct aroma, with a sweet and musky flair. There's a hint of carnation in No. 1.

No.1 is a really intense decadent fragrance. As soon as you smell it, you will never forget it - whether you like it or not.
Perfumed pineapple, a "funky" rose jasmine thread and a soft sandalwood cushion is No.1.
The shelf life with me is "24 hours", ingenious.
