Spirit of Lovely Flowers by Spirit has actually been around for ten years, but I only bought it about a year ago.
Nevertheless, I have almost used it up.
It's a floral-balsamic fragrance that doesn't cost much and is good for everyday wear and for work if you only want to wear something simple and not too heavy.
And for the price, the occasional re-spray doesn't hurt.

Spirit of Lovely Flowers is clean-floral and has a yellow-citrus opening.
At the beginning I hear grapefruit and pink pepper.
Then jasmine takes over the leading role without being too intrusive. Some apple scent joins in as well.
There are certainly similarities with Jàdore.
In the base, I detect light musk and patchouli, but never too much. Nicely balanced.

Overall, a pleasant, soft floral fragrance that I would definitely recommend.

The longevity and sillage are in the medium range.

I don't know if it still exists. I haven't seen it anywhere at the moment.
If I come across it somewhere I'll buy another bottle.

My bottle of Spirit of Cherry Blossom by Spirit will soon be empty, so it's time to write a short review of this extremely affordable fragrance.

In recent years, I have hardly written any more reviews, as I had a lot to deal with at home and perfume became a minor matter.
But of course my interest in perfume has never gone away.

About the fragrance:
Spirit is a very affordable brand that brings out fragrances for the small purse, including a few dupes.
But I have to say that the fragrances of this brand are not that bad and can be recommended for every day.
I've had Spirit of Cherry Blossom for a few years now and I've always liked using it when I just want it to be fresh and unobtrusive. For example at work.
It opens with citrusy notes such as bergamot and clementine.
This is immediately followed by blossoming fruit blossoms such as the eponymous cherry blossom and apple blossom.
These notes also remain dominant.
I don't really notice anything of the base notes.

The longevity and sillage remain in the medium range, but at the price you can spray again with peace of mind and the bottle fits well in your handbag.

It is suitable for everyday use and not too flashy, something simple and pleasing for every day, so to speak.

Since I was quite satisfied with the fragrance, I will gladly buy it again.

Splendor by Elizabeth Arden was like so many things again a blind purchase from me. A blind purchase, which I have not regretted. Splendor came in 1998 on the market, but I did not know the fragrance yet. At that time, in contrast to today, floral fragrances were quite modern. I do not go with the fashion, I still like this kind of fragrances.
Splendor is supposed to start with fruity notes of pineapple and apple, but I don't notice anything of that. With me, the white bloomers start right through, freesia and hyacinth. I'm not sure if I recognize the scent of the blue-rain, because I only know what it looks like, but I can't quite remember the scent. I'm guessing along the lines of whiteflower. Everything over all dominates with me the lily and I love the smell of lilies.
A little jasmine and lily of the valley join in and a little more magnolia.
Wonderful this sea of flowers. Such fragrances are hardly launched nowadays. Too daring this blossom abundance, Bonbondüfte are rather in demand.
The base holds back discreetly, so is only minimally woody and animalic. I smell there still the strongest sandalwood out.
The durability is in the upper middle range and the sillage also.
I find this fragrance great and very elegant and have immediately stocked up with another bottle.
A fragrance for people who like very floral scents and can do well with lilies.

Cassandra Rose Intense is a fragrance of the French brand Jeanne Arthes, which brings quite nice acceptable fragrances in the lower price segment herrausbringt.
I have so far only this one fragrance of this brand, and that has me quite positively convinced.
Can well be that I still test one or the other fragrance of this brand if the opportunity should arise.
Cassandra Rose intense fits into the clean fresh rose fragrances in the manner of Chloe and Co.
However, it is by no means a fragrance twin of classic Chloe EdP, this is a bit more soapy and also not Roses de Chloe, this is much rosier than Cassandra Rose intense.
But similarities to S. Oliver for her I can definitely see.
Cassandra Rose intense comes across as a rosy fresh scent with a slight fruity note.
I smell a light fresh rose out of it (there are many different kinds of fragrant rose blossoms), fruity wrapped in lychee fruit. Some white-flowered blossoms still play along like freesia. Lily of the valley I can't hear any. The cedar still seems to give the scent a "tangy" touch. The sillage is quite good at first and I'm also quite happy with the mid-range longevity. Overall, I find Cassandra Rose Intense to be a well-done fragrance for everyday wear and for those who like only light fresh scents. I wear him from time to time quite happy as Abwechsslung to my many heavier calibers.

2020 was a difficult year for all of us.
Many things happened and divided the world. Many victims and many sick. Reason enough for sadness, for humility but also for reflection and peace.
Instead, there is ranting, grumbling,arguing for all it's worth. Everyone else is to blame, only we ourselves are not.
In such times you need a fragrance that can cheer up. Something peaceful and reconciling.
A fragrance that has a calming effect.
Such a fragrance is for me Euphoria.
It has never been a fragrance that, when I first sniff it, immediately makes me whoop with rapture and goes straight into the shopping basket.
He unfolds his pleasant and calm radiation only when wearing itself.
He is not even something special or even a masterpiece. But good and solidly made Euphoria is in any case.
I can not even smell the individual fragrances well herraus, I do not know how Kaki or Champaka smell. Pomegranate I have eaten before, but how the smells I do not know more.
Overall, however, it seems brightly fruity, pure radiant, not too sweet.
He has a creamy and woody undertone, amber can be detected.
Black orchids even exist in real, more dark purple: Maxillaria schunkeana. About their fragrance I know nothing, and also not all orchids smell.
Vanillig I would not exactly describe the fragrance either. Ambry fruity, lychee also comes to mind. That's how I would describe the scent.
Last year 2019 I got the fragrance as a 30 ml bottle as a gift and since then I have worn it often and with pleasure at work.
Wasn't quite sure about it at first but now I really appreciate it and will probably get a refill.
I wish you all a Happy New Year!
