Scentissima

I like powdery, soapy, shampoo-like scents and fell for this one when a blogger talked about it so beautifully. But no, this is not at all what I imagined. It does give you a freshness - feeling, but has too little floral, too little powder in it and just smells sour ( probably because of pomegranate and lemon). I miss amber and/or a little musk here. Very pity. I do think the bottle is very pretty though. Happy are those who can wear this fragrance. Am somehow a bit envious;-)

With this fragrance I feel no incense or anything animalic ( civet) at all. My ( quite untrained) nose catches only jasmine and musk, which probably yet radiate so beautifully outward through civet and incense. La Religieuse is not sweet, rather bitter. But for me, this bitterness is not sad but radiates tranquility. Light soapy accords give the fragrance a certain elegance. The scent is skin deep and according to its name, it needs to be. On my skin La Religieuse doesn't last very long, which I don't see as a disadvantage - you can always re-spray. I can wear this fragrance for any occasion. He is immediately on my wish list

According to my nose, the Fifi is not far from the Shalimar Parfum Initial, which I have for years but could never really wear, because something was always missing. Now I know what it was: the tobacco note. Fifi is a somewhat unusual but well balanced composition of citrus, rose, tobacco and amber. Has a slight sweetness to it and is definitely powdery. Applied discreetly, Fifi exudes elegance: I imagine a beautifully dressed lady in a luxurious smoking establishment. To me, Fifi is not a bit wicked or sexy ( but it may depend on how much you spray). Fifi has a chypre-like undertone, hence could be worn by a man as well. A lovely scent, and there will be a bottle on my fragrance shelf soon

I bought the Black Perfecto blind, always wanted to have a fragrance from the LPRN Collection and exactly with this one I found the notes very attractive - cherry, rose, leather, tonka bean, musk- everything I like. The only thing I was a little skeptical about was licorice. So it took me a few weeks to understand this fragrance. In the beginning I could only smell burnt car tires, but I didn't want to give up and kept returning to this scent . And one day my persistence was rewarded: car tires became a lightly spiced cloud of smoke and a little later the whole composition became syrupy and soapy, - as if you had put a piece of licorice soap in a hot cherry jam pure- perhaps a bit strange but still ingenious.
Lasts several hours on the skin , in the hair and on clothes until you wash them.
Despite its "darkness " the Black Perfecto gives me the feeling of security and has a calming effect on me, I find him super for cozy evenings or for going to bed. I have never worn outdoors. It is of course a very subjective thing. If you (woman) feel like it ,the Black Perfecto would be very suitable for a femme fatale, because it leaves a seductive veil of fragrance, can be wicked and outrageous.
For me it is a nice olfactory experience, am glad I have this perfume in my ( still small) collection.
P.S. I apologize for any mistakes, am not a native speaker
