How the Soul Became Creation - Part 2
A few years after the introduction of the EdP, this fragrance now also got a separate entry next to the already existing EdT entry. I have now moved / copied my review here and slightly adapted.
Recently, the Tuscan Soul collection was renamed Tuscan Creations. What changes of a purely technical nature this brought with it, I analyze in this Kommi to the fragrance Terra Rossa.
Name of the collection
Old: Tuscan Soul
New: Tuscan Creations
Bottle contents
Old: 75ml
New: 100ml
Concentration
Old: Eau de Toilette
New: Eau de Parfum
Packaging
Old: white, plain
New: gold-colored, high-quality
Closure (lid)
Old: noble wood
New: finest leather, hand-sewn
Price range
Old: 100-140 Euro
New: 220-250 Euro
Since the top, heart and base notes remain the same in Terra Rossa, I advise all fans to buy the remaining bottles of the old fragrance. I let myself be tempted by my holiday mood and then bought the significantly more expensive new version at Changi Airport in Singapore. Well, I'll survive.
The fragrance itself others have already described very nicely at the EdT version. I can only say: a jewel for patchouli lovers. The patchouli is there from the first second and works very intensively.

Summery South Seas scent - passion fruit I eat somewhere else
Passion Fruit is one of no less than 41 fragrances from the "Museum Collection". In addition, various are also available in different concentrations: EdT and EdP Concentrée. That makes sniffing around not easy. Since I love to eat Passion Fruit (in German Maracuja/Passionsfrucht), I tried it with this fragrance.
All of the Museum Series perfumes are monothematic scents: they smell exclusively like what's on the package. At least, that's how it should be. In this case: passion fruit. There's a reason for that, too. It was only after the fact that I found out that the Museum Collection scents were also meant to be layered. The inscription on the packaging "Layer Your Fragrance" makes this clear. I am not a fan of layering at all: have never done so and probably won't. I love to enjoy the solo scent.
Passion Fruit opens with a sweet floral note. My money is on the hawthorn, which smells strongly floral, a few seconds also ashy. In the background, the green apple is supposed to bring some freshness to the scent, but doesn't quite manage it. The scent remains more floral than fruity (I would have expected more fruit content). Passion fruit, at least, doesn't taste as floral. However, the South Seas feel of this South Seas fruit is clear. Maracuja or not, it is a summery feel-good fragrance: sensual, sweetly seductive, airier and lighter than other tropical fragrances.
The fragrance is limited unisex, with a stronger tendency to the feminine. Note on the picture-perfect bottle: he kat no cap but a kind of stopper that prevents the sprayer from being pressed down.

A brownie like from the USA
This short review is only because the 2 earlier comments are firstly over 10 years old, and secondly because I can't let the devastating assessments stand as they are.
For clarification: Demeter produces solitary fragrances - perfumes with only one scent. Here it is the scent of freshly baked chocolate brownies. You can sense this from the first inhale. It's the smell of brownies pulled hot straight from the oven. Chocolatey, full-bodied, sweet. In the US, they don't skimp on the butter either. All the ingredients are natural, nothing here is chemical. The smell doesn't change either, it stays chocolaty-sweet until the end.
The scent of brownies was really authentically reproduced and I congratulate Demeter for this

If you don't read the instructions, it's your own fault
Sometimes we imagine we can do everything ourselves, without anyone else's help. I admit, I have never read the instructions before testing a fragrance, but in this case it is very advisable.
Jean Paul Gaultier's Monsieur Eau du Matin is not a fragrance in the EdC, EdT or EdP strength. It is, in the German translation, an "invigorating fragrance". Er, I don't understand anything about that! The Dutch(?) "Geparfumeerde Lotion" sounds much more familiar. It's a full body fragrance lotion to spray on. From the English I take "toning properties" so a kind of tonic, and plainly: "Rub over the body for a discrete fragrance".
Who now sprays the fragrance only on the back of the hand and in the neck area, thinking to have a night out fragrance, will of course be disappointed - ergo the perplexed comments and statements. This "Uppfriskande Doft" or "Frescor Estimulante" (no idea which languages) can be applied generously after showering (and don't forget to rub it in lightly - of course the purest exception a propos fragrance rubbing). It's not summer yet, but when I return from work in the afternoon slightly sweaty and can't get in the shower right away, just shirt off and apply to upper body. Keeps fresh for a few hours until the bathroom aisle and no one runs away from me.
Yes, it's fresh, with a dose of citrus, and definitely cucumber green. It reminds me most of carafes filled with water with some cucumber slices floating in it. In short, of cucumber water, which I find very refreshing in the summer.
The wall bottle - just top!
So do not immediately badmouth, but first read the instructions. Then it works with the neighbor.

How the soul became creation
Anyone expecting a romantic text here now will be disappointed. Recently, the Tuscan Soul collection was renamed Tuscan Creations. What changes of a purely technical nature this entailed, I analyse in this commi to the fragrance Terra Rossa.
Collection name
Alt: Tuscan Soul
New: Tuscan Creations
Bottle content
Alt: 75ml
New: 100ml
Concentration
Alt: Eau de Toilette
New: Eau de Parfum
Packaging
Old: white, plain
New: gold coloured, high quality
Closure (lid)
Old: noble wood
New: finest leather, hand-stitched
Price range
Old: 100-140 Euro
New: 220-250 Euro
Since the head, heart and base notes of the Terra Rossa have remained the same, I advise all fans to buy the remaining bottles of the old fragrance. I was tempted by my holiday mood and then bought the much more expensive new version at Changi Airport in Singapore. Well, I'll survive werd´s
Others have already described the scent itself very beautifully. All I can say is, a jewel for patchouli lovers. The patchouli is there from the very first second and works very intensively.
